Gideon who had stormed out of his room as if to chase after something urgently was suddenly stopped by the sight of a man standing right before the door.
"You're finally awake!" Azrael immediately spoke. "Her Majesty wants to see you now, My Lord. Please follow me."
A heavy silence reigned for a moment as Gideon stared at Azrael, considering what he should say to him. Gideon's hand on the door frame clenched tightly and his fingers created some dents on the frame. "Tell mother… that I'll go see her later. There is something I need to do first."
"Are you perhaps… going to look for the young lady, My Lord? I mean, Vera?" Azrael's question instantly made Gideon who had just walked past him screech to a halt. And that reaction alone was enough to answer the question for the man. "She's currently in attendance with the queen, My Lord."
Gideon's head flew towards Azrael. His eyes slightly widened in surprise.
