"Adeline! Adeline!"
Adeline heard Edwin's voice calling her from behind. She was already near her quarter. She was ready to retire for the day after attending the long training exercises and also going through the paperwork of the court.
She turned around to see that Edwin was running towards her as though his life depended on it.
"Brother… slow down! I'm not going to run away!" Adeline giggled at her brother thinking he was probably coming after her to get her permission regarding something.
"Adeline, I had been waiting for you to return from the training… But it looks like I missed you when you were in the court. Bennett said that you just left the court so I ran to get a hold of you." Edwin huffed and gulped to moisten his dry throat.
Adeline now looked concerned. The matter looked serious. And she asked, "What did you want to talk about?"
