บท 58: 57. Remains Of Someone's Hope (4)

The atmosphere in the castle was filled with perplexity and everyone seemed to be whispering about something when I returned from the Third Wall.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked Ethan when I spotted him.

He took my hand and pulled me in a corner and then looked around before covering his mouth as if he was going to let me in on some secret.

"Marquis Thompson came to visit in afternoon." He said and I frowned.

"But what's shocking is that he didn't stay for long at all!"

"What?"

My warning seemed to have worked.

"He was really polite and respectful when he came and didn't create any disturbance and asked for His Grace's time and talked to him in his study. He didn't even demand for anything and simply stayed for a few minutes and then left."

"Just like that?" I asked and Ethan nodded.

"I know, right?!" He was so shocked that it was almost comical to see him like that.
