Resting on Oriana's lap, sleeping peacefully, was Walter. After the boy had eaten his fill, he played until Oriana was exhausted, while Kai sat alone, looking around the room as if trying to get familiar with it.
"Do you hate me?" Oriana asked the young boy, and he shook his head. "Then why have you refused to talk or even play with us?" she continued, as Walter moved in his sleep, turning to a more comfortable position.
Kai moved his eyes away from Oriana and settled them on his brother. "I don't know you," was his only reply.
Oriana nodded; that was true. She decided to let the boy be and not ask him any more questions. A small knock on her door broke the silence in the room. Oriana moved Walter's head carefully before going to answer the door.
"Yes?" She saw a maid standing in front of her door, with her head bowed, avoiding meeting Oriana's eyes.
