章節 49: 2.19 Travelling Merchant

Theodore let out a huge sigh as he stood in front of his father's study. The guard inquired whether they should announce his arrival but he shook them off quietly. Taking in a few deep breaths, Theodore tried to calm his thundering heartbeats to no avail.

Their relationship over the years had been so estranged that Theodore had to muster a lot of willpower and courage just to drag his feet here.
