Silly Bride

“What do you mean they look identical? And what is it about being shortsighted? What is going on?”

Josiah didn't head to Rodunst with Winnie back then, so he didn't know about the incident. Thus, he was confused as he listened to the conversation between Winnie and Lucas.

“Okay, so here's what happened.” Lucas immediately explained the incident to him, recounting what happened at the dock.

When he was done, he turned to Winnie and vowed, “I swear I'm telling the truth. Although I'm shortsighted, that didn't hinder me from recognizing him. Trust me, Winnie. It's true!”

Winnie frowned. “Let me think it over.”

With that, she fell silent.

Josiah pondered carefully before looking at Lucas. “So you're saying the current Xavier is not the guy we know, and is the person you saw who looked identical to him?”

“That's right!” Lucas said, “I think this makes sense. Otherwise, how will you explain Xavier's abnormal behavior recently?”

“So, you're saying Xavier turned into another person after returning from Alendor?”

“No, he didn't turn into another person,” Lucas corrected. “Instead, someone else replaced him. I once asked him if he had any twins or a hidden half-brother, but he gave me the cold shoulder. I even got told off.”

Josiah was rendered speechless by Lucas' response before saying, “Of course, he'd ignore you when you've asked him such a ridiculous question. But I can assure you that he doesn't have a twin.”
