Draen and Alon's discussion in the study stretched on for several more hours as they finalized reports and preparations regarding the increasing unrest surrounding the Red Eclipse.
Just as another document was placed before Draen, three careful knocks echoed from the study door.
"Come in."
A servant hurried inside before immediately lowering his head in respect.
"Y-Your Grace... forgive this servant for interrupting."
Draen looked up from the papers. "What is it?"
The servant hesitated, visibly nervous.
"His Lordship... has been inside the bath for quite some time now."
"..."
"We called for him several times but he hasn't answered us. We were worried something might have happened, but..." The servant awkwardly lowered his gaze. "Since His Lordship is bathing, none of us dared to enter without your permission."
Draen's expression immediately changed.
Ever since Lewis had officially become his bride, Draen had made one thing absolutely clear throughout the entire manor.
