Chapter 17: Now, it's my turn

Edgar walked to the north wing of the castle where Auriana's room was. Drawing closer and knowing how late it was, the fact that they had barely rested the following day, he stopped to think if it was right to go to her now.

Taking a deep breath, he released it slowly and then proceeded to the room. He knocked, but there was no response, so he assumed she must have gone to sleep already. "Sleep well, my princess," he whispered before turning around and returning to his wing. He looked around, and the guards that were stationed at the wing were all present. He was certain nothing would happen while they were around.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Auriana sat on the balcony, staring at the moon. She heard the knock on the door and got a bit startled, especially after identifying who knocked through his scent. Auriana sighed in relief when he. She didn't want to talk to any one of her parents right now.
