A cup of tea was presented in front of Nicholas. He could not sleep well the night before. Early at dawn, he got up and started working in the office. For the first time, he regrets making the Empress decide on the princess.
To think his sister, who was already having difficulty adjusting in the castle, left without anyone knowing she was sick and fainted, escorted less in the garden. He wanted to punish every single person in the party for such audacity.
‘How dare they treat the princess like this? Who do they think they are?’ He was too disturbed to focus on anything, but Nicholas tried to distract his mind from work.
His eyes fell on the sea beside the table. There was work pending regarding the alliance with Ecruh. It was going well with the exchange of black iron between the countries. They requested to send some workers to Ecruh for training. Still, Nicholas was not going to risk sending workers without protection. He was thinking of who to send as guardian.
