“Oh, honey, why worry about whether he’s telling the truth or not?” Laura
remarked casually. “Just treat it like you’re meeting him all over again. If you
don’t like him, you don’t have to pay him any mind.”
“But… that doesn’t seem very polite,” Claudette responded in her usual gentle
manner, giving Magnus a polite smile. “Sorry, but I have amnesia–I don’t
remember anything.”
Magnus flashed a charming, gentlemanly smile. “That’s alright. I can fix the
car while telling you about our past.”
“Alright, thank you!” Claudette nodded.
Magnus grabbed some tools from the trunk and opened the hood. As he

checked the engine, he began, “When we were kids, we’d often play princess
and knight. Even back then, I swore I’d be your knight and protect you for life.”
Really? But why didn’t you stop protecting me?” Claudette’s question held a
touch of innocent reproach.
Magnus looked up with a self–deprecating smile. “Yes, not only did I fail to
protect you, but I let you take a bullet for me.”

“I took a bullet for you?” Claudette furrowed her brow, trying to recall, but her
mind drew a blank.
“Yes, it was during your birthday celebration at the base of the mountain. We
were all happy, but then someone suddenly attacked, aiming right at me,‘
Magnus explained smoothly.

Laura chose not to expose his lie. Ever since Claudette had returned from the
Dark Night Islands, Laura had avoided telling her about her past love for
Emmanuel or the times she’d risked her life for him. She feared that if
laudette knew and realized Emmanuel was still with Mackenzie, the truth
would only bring her heartbreak.
“Who was he? Why did he attack you?” Claudette asked, caught up in the
story.
“He’s dead now, so his name doesn’t matter. He was jealous and saw me as
a rival, thinking that if he killed me, he’d win your heart.” Magnus continued to
weave his tale.
Laura couldn’t help but mentally scoff. Magnus was indeed a master
manipulator, lying with an impressive lack of shame.

In the backseat, Hattie felt the sorrow behind her brother’s words. No one
understood better than she did that her brother’s love for Claudette was real
That intense love had driven him to the extremes he’d gone to. Now, having
lie to her to regain her affection must have been painful.
“Did I… did I really like you that much?” Claudette asked, resting her chin in her
hand as she looked at Magnus with clear doubt. Magnus was refined and
polite, but he wasn’t her type. If he had Emmanuel’s strong build and rugged
demeanor, she might’ve believed him more.
“Well, the past is the past,” Magnus replied with confidence. “From now on,
I’ll

make you like me that much again. I’ll be here to protect you, my princess.
Claudette looked a bit uncomfortable, not sure what to say. Eager to shift the
onversation, she quickly asked, “So, what’s wrong with my car? Can you fix
it?”
“Unfortunately, it needs other equipment to get it running again. Looks like
you’ll have to ride with us up the mountain,” Magnus said with a charming
smile. In truth, he had no idea how to fix cars–he just wanted an excuse to
talk to Claudette.
“Well, alright. I want to get to the lake as soon as possible and see how they
plan to retrieve all those resources.” Claudette accepted his suggestion and,
along with Laura, climbed into the Zelinsky siblings‘ car, letting Magnus drive
them up the mountain.

“Ms. Quillen, Magnus has arrived!” Lexi quickly returned to the lakeside to
report to Mackenzie.
lackenzie let out a small sigh of relief, a glimmer of anticipation flickering in
her eyes. “Finally! If he’d waited any longer, I would’ve had to take action
myself.”
“Have you figured out his plan, Ms. Quillen?” Lexi asked, surprised.
“Probably,” Mackenzie replied, nodding. “But since he’s here, I’ll leave it to him
-he might have the advantage on this one.”
Just then, Magnus‘ voice cut in, “Some things aren’t just about having brains,
Ms. Quillen–you might find this a bit out of your depth.”

Loxi and Rhott both shot him disapproving looks. To them, Mackenzie was
second to none. But Mackenzie took it in stride, smiling. “Alright then, I’ll sit
back and watch you work.”
Magnus flashed her a confident grin before turning to Claudette. “Shall we
play a fun game together? You loved playing games with me when we were
kids. Maybe it’ll jog your memory?”
Claudette pressed her lips together, not saying a word.
Mackenzie quirked a brow, watching their interaction. Does Magnus still have
feelings for Claudette? After everything he’d put her through, didn’t he realize
what he’d done?
But this wasn’t the time to dwell on Claudette’s love life. Crowds had

planned to dredge up the massive amount of resources hidden in the lake.
Ms. Quillen, please follow my instructions and release the carp into the lake

“Quintus, please help coordinate with Magnus,” Mackenzie said, passing the
task to Quintus.
Quintus approached Magnus with a grin, clapping a hand firmly on his
shoulder. “Huh, you’ve got quite the balls to still go after my sister. I’ll be

Magnus only smiled without answering, his silence as enigmatic as ever.
Quintus frowned, irritated, but Mackenzie stepped in to explain. “He’s
bserving and recording the movement patterns of the carp after they enter
the water.”
“What?!” Quintus exclaimed, and Lexi looked equally stunned.
“How is that even possible?” Rhett protested. “With my skills, I can only track
fish down to about 15 feet below the surface. How can he possibly see further
than that?”
Magnus continued to smile, keeping his focus on his notes.
