From this chapter, it seems Hugo can be slow on the uptake sometimes😂...I remember in the previous chapter the Priestess warned him that Alec must and will undergo the trial. The Fiddler also warned him that Alec would undergo the trial. The way I see it is he is so proud of his intelligence ,almost verging on arrogance that he does not seem to understand that sometimes there are things that you cannot outwit. I like the subtle lesson there Sorr. Lydon😂..
You really struck Gold with the character of Alec Stoker.. I bet he is so fun to write...He is brimming with confidence I almost envy him😂
I am so excited for the next chapter...I want to Alec go through your version of the Running man😜
