章節 388: Restless Night (Ch.388)

'Forget we were ever here' Jian had said, giving out unsolicited advice.

The words had been easy to say, it was the action that now proved not so easy as Jian had originally imagined.

How long had passed by now? It could have been an hour or many more hours, all through which Jian just laid on his bed, staring up into the ceiling.

It was late into the night now and the entire keep was asleep but sleep eluded Jian as his mind kept busy with more thoughts than he was capable of deciphering.

  This was not a rare occurrence at all, Jian had spent more nights in this bed wide awake for the past few decades than he had spent sleeping, 

Jian had always had difficulty sleeping, it was a centuries old affliction that he had long come to terms with, it was only that as time went on and his worries grew, it had increasingly become even more and more difficult.
