Bab 215: 215. Still Angry

He had more of a reason to be angry with her but he wasn't. She was keeping something from him. He turned to look at her but she still had her back to him.

Jael sighed and closed his eyes, it would be a hassle to fall asleep in his current mood. However, he knew better than to try to force this any further as he knows he would likely get angrier.

It took a while for her to fall asleep. She didn't roll, didn't move, just looked away from him for over three hours before she eventually fell asleep.

Unfortunately, he couldn't sleep. It was grinding on his gears. He already had issues falling asleep but then

He spent most of the day looking at the ceiling in hopes that he would fall asleep.

Jael got out of bed about an hour after sunset. He didn't get out earlier because the house wouldn't be awake yet.

He pulled the string as he got out of bed and the servants immediately brought up his water and he washed up but Mauve didn't stir.
