Asty smiled at him and placed the tray beside the desk. "I want to go out already."
"No will do." Chaol firmly replied to her and crossed his arms. "You better take the whole day off and rest, it would appear to me that you can't quite stand yet."
"I'll become more sicker if I stay in bed." she pouted at him.
"It is still very cold outside your room. I don't suppose your fever would go down if it's freezing outside, yes?"
She sighed. "I guess you're right." she lets her back fall on the mattress with a soft plop. "I feel very lonely inside

"What?" Asty asked him, trying to clarify whether what she heard was right. "Oh no silly, it's nothing." Chaol smiled at her and stood up. He stretched his limbs in the air and rubbed his hair. Even though it wasn't parted, his hair was still gorgeously messy and suitable for his dashing looks. "You should be resting now." Asty observed the count's tensed movements. Chaol carefully covers her entire body with the blanket and took the tray in his hands. "Sleep well." "C-Chaol." she whispered his name. Of course, the sudden calling caused him to abruptly halt his movements and glance at her. His thoughts were raining curses once again, because of Asty's weak voice. Chaol heaved a sigh and looked at her. "Yes?" "L-Last night... there was someone." Chaol's eyes immediately froze in confusion. 'Someone?' "I don't know if I was only seeing th

For some reason, I wanted to eat breakfast with you guys today. Can I?"Lana placed the tray on the nearby drawer. "I will allow you, but I cannot guarantee if you are already feeling fine.

It was midnight. Asty was staring at the blank wall, not knowing what to do. She couldn't sleep no matter which position she took. Even if the entire bedroom was silent and the lamp was flickering in a cozy tranquility, Asty's body still wouldn't budge at her favor to finally rest.She tried closing her eyes one more time and snuggled under the fluffy blankets. But to her disappointment, her body never cooperated. She heaved a sigh, set aside the blankets, and stood up."Maybe a midnight walk would help." she told herself.She walked towards the door and gently opened it to prevent any sound and closed it behind her. Asty stared at the long, dark hallways and took a deep breath.Well, if she wanted to get what she wants, she'd have to go through all of these.She started walking until she reached the end of the hall. She looked from side to side in caution. While her small feet continued t

"Would someone please explain to me what in the world is going on?" "Oops— my bad. My Lord." Yvonne squeaks. "I was just trying to see what these drums are for." "They are not drums for god's sake, Yvonne." he breathed in disappointment. "Those are cooking pots." "Oh." Asty and Owl burst into laughter as Chaol just humiliated her. "You must be really, really... well, unknowledgeable huh. Do you not notice that Lana cooks with those?" "S-She does not really have the time to go to the kitchen, Chaol." Asty reasoned out in her defense. "She doesn't have the vacancy to do so." "Still!" Cha

"Ah! Yes! Finally some great space!"Yvonne stepped down from the carriage with her arms wide open. Chaol who was behind her, pushed the woman which almost caused her to trip. "If you want to stretch out, at least do it somewhere but not in front of the exit."Yvonne stepped aside for Chaol to finish his descend. The woman chuckled apologetically and rubbed the back of her nape."Don't be too harsh on her, Chaol." Asty told him as she slipped her palm upon the male's. It was already a common practice for Chaol to help Asty out of the carriage. Even though the woman is entirely fine with going down with her own, she appreciated the count's chivalry and smiled.

Noelle could see the familiar group from afar. He heaved a deep sigh, seeing Asty getting chummy with that peculiar woman from the funeral once again. He emerged from the trees and waved his hands repeatedly in the air, trying to get the woman's attention."Asty! Over here!"Asty's head immediately shot in the direction of the male, to which she waved back cheerfully. "Noelle! Hey!"Noelle.It was that irritating, commonplace name again.
