Chapter 40 - Chapter 38

"Duke!? Are you okay? Please open the door!"

Sykelion's fist struck the heavy oak doors again, the sound echoing down the private corridor.

Inside—

Crash!

Something shattered violently against the wall.

A mirror, perhaps.

Or a vase.

Or furniture.

It was impossible to tell anymore.

"Leave me alone!"

The Duke's voice was hoarse and strained as if he was being dragged over a broken glass.

Sykelion's jaw tightened.

It was happening again. The Duke's Hysteria had been unstable for months now.

At first, the episodes were rare—subtle fluctuations in mana, irritability, longer hours locked in his study. But recently…

The episodes comes twice a week now. 

If his Hysteria spiraled completely out of control then they would have no choice but to restrain him and lock him in the underground chamber reinforced with mana-suppressing runes.

Only Sykelion and a handful of trusted servants knew of the Duke's condition.

No one else.

No noble house.

No rival faction.
