Kapitel 196: Bite The Bullet

Cassian showed up at the backyard of Amade's home, and he wasn't surprised to find Amade sitting on a bench with a lantern by his side. If Amade ever had a hard time falling asleep, he would visit the backyard and stare into space until he eventually gets sleepy enough to return to his room, a routine he always did even at the Duke's mansion.

Cassian walked up to Amade who hadn't noticed his presence yet, but when he eventually did, a look of surprise graced his face, and he immediately got to his feet, lowering his head slightly in a bow.

"Lord Cassian? You're out here? It gets cold during the night, why aren't you asleep?" Amade, who expected the young lad to be tired and drained out after all that journey they made to get here, found it surprising to see Cassian out here in the midnight cold, and the young lad smiled faintly, feeling grateful for Amade's genuine concern.

In return, he bowed his head respectfully.
