Upon hearing the title "Master Feigni," Father Kaman instinctively tensed his nerves.
Although there was almost no visible change in his stance, everyone could feel that he had transformed into a predator ready to pounce on the unfamiliar young man at any moment.
In contrast, Winters only hesitated briefly before quickly relaxing.
Because he recalled where he had heard the name "Feigni"—yesterday, at the Siege Camp, Senior Mason had mentioned "the chief stone mason of Maple Fort who was kidnapped by Major Felter."
"You are the apprentice of Feigni, the stone mason responsible for maintaining Maple Fort," Winters asked.
"Yes." The young man replied, "I am Master Feigni's apprentice."
"Felter captured your teacher, but not you?"
"When the rebels came, I hid."
"Hid until today?"
"Mr. Mikesh found me." The young man answered softly.
"He found you." Winters asked mercilessly, "Or has he been hiding you until today?"
The young man lowered his head and said nothing.
