The castle had been gloomy after that incident two days ago. Although everyone was still treating me the same, there was just this tension lingering through the walls. Emily also visited me yesterday, thanking me for talking to Hugo and giving their family a chance to prove their loyalty. I was glad that Hugo made a wise decision, and no one died.
Sasha had also been recovering. I would visit and stay with her for an hour or two with Maricel. Meanwhile, Hugo would still stay with me every night, but after that incident... the twins, Kieran and Cyran, were tasked to be with me at all times to be my guards.
"Are you still bothered by the twins' presence?" I flinched when Ivo clapped in front of me. We were now in the study, teaching me things I should know before I completely handle the matters of the estate. The twins were outside.
"You've been zoning out since this morning. You can tell me if this is too much for you."
