My heart instantly leapt to my throat as his way of showing and explaining things I failed to understand completely was unique.
Earlier, the darkness scared me. But when the torches lit up, I felt less scared, especially knowing he was with me.
Does he mean he had felt the same when he heard my cries as a child? Did I truly gave him such relief and comfort all these years?
The thought of it moved my immovable heart.
"Milord, why did you force yourself to sleep?" Before I knew it, my question already escaped my lips.
As soon as I realized I'm prying way too far, I pressed my lips together. There was no confirmed reason his lordship went into his slumber.
There were rumors of different versions. Some were for the goodness of Grimsbanne. Some said the duke to enter his slumber after fighting a formidable opponent and protected his people. While some version said, they forced the duke to sleep because he lost control of himself.
