Bab 709: Aaron's Cruel Words

Aaron went to visit Lucian, as he wanted to talk about Rina. She had been staying at his home, and no one from the Rainier estate had come to check on her, which surprised him and made him wonder what exactly was going on.

When Aaron reached Lucian's study, he found Lucian lost in his thoughts, staring blankly out of the window, his mind seemingly elsewhere.

"Lucian?" Aaron called, noticing that Lucian hadn't even realized someone had entered his study.

Lucian snapped back to reality and turned to see Aaron standing across from his desk. "Aaron? I'm sorry. I didn't notice you arrive. Please, have a seat."

"It's alright," Aaron said, settling into the chair while Lucian asked the servant to bring tea.

"What were you thinking about so deeply?" Aaron asked. "Is something troubling you?"

"It's nothing," Lucian replied honestly. "I was just staring outside and didn't even realize where my mind had wandered."
