Kapitel 577: Familiar Noises

A sudden loud thud resounded, the scamper of feet streaking across wood. 

Noisy.

Annoying.

Unpleasant.

Then it happened again - even louder, a tumultuous slam rippling through the quiet, the peace… her peace.

This time, her eyelids flew open with a start, indignation flushing away her exhaustion, and emitting a small raspy groan, Sera was fully awake.

A plain empty bedroom greeted her furrowed stare. The bed she laid upon a fine mess of crinkled silk instead of grass, and the morning air she felt no longer cool and humid.

For the second day in a row, Sera had taken residence in an actual home, His home, and for the first time alone - without Eshlwyn by her side.

She tried, deep into the night, creeping up the stairs, only to find to her utter dismay, Eshlwyn's room already presently occupied.

By Him… deeply asleep beside her… that Man… Eshlwyn's Master…

Her Sovereign Keeper.
