At Sylas' urging, Amos, who had been frightened from the start, finally revealed the real reason he had used magic on the king, which had ended in chaos.
One thing was certain: Amos knew that without his help, there would be no cure for the poison in the king's body. He had acted quickly. His only mistake was stopping halfway and failing to either repeat or undo the spell.
This was the first time Amos had spoken at such length, convincing Sylas that he had no bad intensions toward the king. The memory of his mother, and her warning to always hide her true identity, made Amos willing to do anything to escape the disaster he had caused.
"I managed to suppress the poison, Your Highness. Please forgive me. I will do anything to lift the spell," Amos pleaded sincerely.
"Tell me the truth, what was your intention in coming to the palace?" Sylas asked.
The question left Amos speechless. He knew Sylas doubted him now. In the prince's eyes, he might already be a threat.
