Two days had gone by in a blur. Hugo kept his promise as he stayed with me for the past two days. He moved his work into my room, where I could see him work diligently. I thought Hugo wasn't that busy, but watching him for the past two days came clear he was truly an important person.
Although he said so himself that Ivo mostly does the mountain of paperwork, and Ivo seemed he was the one taking care of the governing issues in Belcoot, Hugo was still the one who would decide Ivo's course of action. The past two days made me see a new side of Hugo and his diligence in fulfilling his duties — except the constant profanities I would hear here and there.
"So, you are really going to Belcoot?" I snapped my eyes and gazed at Alice from across from me. We were currently in the main garden in the inner palace, enjoying some tea in the mini pavilion.
"Yes." I smiled while she frowned slightly. "Thank you for coming today, Alice."
