Chapitre 700: It Was A Woman

As Seren's faint whisper of panic escaped her lips, Drayce gently pressed his finger against them, shaking his head subtly, signaling for her silence.

Confusion flickered in Seren's eyes, yet she yielded to Drayce's silent plea, finding solace as she embraced him. In his presence, she had not nothing to fear.

"It's alright," he whispered reassuringly.

Just then Marie arrived there with a glass of water. No one had heard Seren's panicked scream as the door to that chamber was closed. Only Drayce's sharp senses that always followed his wife, heard her. 

"Let me take you back to the room," Drayce murmured, guiding Seren to her chamber. Holding her close for a moment longer, he said, "I'll return shortly. There are matters to attend to, but know that I'll be by your side soon."

"I am fine now. Do not worry," Seren replied, her voice steady with resolve.
