Kapitel 119: Hazy Memories

After breakfast, Desmond couldn't stave away the desire to see Leonor again and decided to allow Stephano to use his study to write a letter. If the king was occupied for a moment, he wouldn't be there to glean further information about the state of the duke and duchess.

All Desmond wanted to do was measure her response to the night before. Did she remember? If she did, did she regret it? 

Stephano was in his office and walked quickly down the long hallways, bypassing maids and Gideon who tried to stop him. His only response to the others was "later" before he would continue. 

When he was about to round the corner to what would be Leonor's wing, he overheard maids discussing something with each other. 

"...Was sick this morning," one of them said, only the last part of the sentence reaching Desmond's ears.
