Chương 196: Waiting For Draven

Ever since Draven left, Ember could not be at peace. When she sought to find him afterwards, she learned that none of the servants knew his whereabouts and he was nowhere to be found within the palace.

'They say it's common for him to disappear but…'

She continued to ask her servants if the King had returned to the palace, but every time they inquired, the answers they received from the other servants were disappointing. She wondered if she had angered the King so much that he left because he didn't want to see her anymore. 

'No matter how I put it, the fact that I kissed another man is wrong. It's my fault and that wouldn't change. I can do nothing but apologize and make sure to make up to him. But why is he not returning yet?" 

She lay in bed while thinking about him. It was nighttime, and the entire palace was quiet as everyone had gone to sleep, but she could not feel even an ounce of drowsiness.
