Emmelyn was surprised to see that Mars was right. When they arrived in their chamber, the man just washed up a bit, changed into comfortable sleepwear, and hugged her to sleep.
He was no longer dependent on his hot bath to close his eyes and sleep. This was such good progress!
Well.. when he had Emmelyn in his embrace, he didn't feel the need for anything else to help him sleep. She was enough for him.
However, it was the opposite for Emmelyn. She couldn't get a wink of sleep throughout the night. Her mind was busy thinking about Killian.
She wondered what had happened to her brother all these years. The attack on Wintermere was almost two years ago. Killian left Glasswell right after Wintermere was conquered.
Emmelyn thought he also had perished with her other family members. When she arrived, the war had long ended and she only heard stories of how terrible was her family's situation when they lost the war.
