"The parents?" Samson asks, but despite the question, Ezra felt like Samson already knew what Kaelis meant.
Still, he asked it anyway.
And Ezra had to wonder why?
"Majority of Dark Ones are adults, I haven't noticed it until recently," Kaelis starts off his explanation, his tone steady, but there was a slight tension beneath it. "And I'm not sure yet, because I'll look into it now, but I've always thought the parents of the kids who were kidnapped don't ask us questions, or follow ups. We don't… hear from them at all."
Ezra's brows furrowed slightly.
'Wait, they don't ask questions?' Ezra thought. 'And they never thought to check in with the parents from the get go?'
That didn't make sense.
Not even a little.
But then again, Kaelis was a prince.
There were things he might've overlooked simply because of status, because of assumptions.
Kaelis could've thought that the parents didn't want to impose.
But no—
Parents were parents.
