Kemp was utterly stunned, visibly shaken by what Alger said.
Vivian frowned. She felt that the priest seemed to have some real skill.
She had never asked about Manfred's birthdate or sought to look at his fate, although she had learned fortune-telling as a child from Viola
Viola also warned her that revealing too many of the heavens' secrets would invite karmic retribution, so she had never tried.
But a destiny to remain alone…
"Isn't there a way to break it? Our lord doesn't have anyone who truly understands and cares for him right now, and it's impossible for him to never marry.
"Mr. Marshman, you're so skilled—you must have a way, right?" Kemp pleaded, genuinely anxious.
If it were someone else, Kemp wouldn't care whether they lived their life under such a fate. But after following Manfred for over two years, he knew too well the hardships the man had endured.
The struggles before the age of 16 were unimaginable. Now, after finally finding some peace, was he to spend the rest of his life tormented by loneliness?
Alger stroked his beard, maintaining his enigmatic demeanor.
"Don't speak of this to anyone. I'll discuss it thoroughly with Glen. Breaking such a fate isn't easy. Furthermore, your lord's current situation might be far more complex.
"If there were indeed a female ghost, it would be easier to handle. But there isn't one," Alger said, then walked out of the room.
Kemp was left baffled, hurriedly following after him.
The two were old friends, and Glen knew full well the extent of Alger's abilities. Realizing his slip, Glen quickly corrected himself.
"It's not that I don't trust you—I'm just overwhelmed with worry. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have asked for your help. I understand the implications—it means a life of solitude. But my grandson has suffered so much already, and I can't let this fate bind him. You must find a way to break it."
"Breaking it is no easy task, and it requires your grandson's cooperation. However..." Alger's expression grew grim. "That might not even be the most severe issue."
Glen was alarmed. "What do you mean? How can that not be the worst?"
"I suspect there's something wrong with his mind," Alger said gravely.
Glen nearly exploded with rage. "How dare you! My grandson is incredibly intelligent!"

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
