— Solinthar, Empire of Althea —
Stepping through the rift, I walked into my little room and my eyes quickly moved to the bed. Reina lay there, sleeping peacefully, and on the bedside table were leftovers from the food they brought.
Her complexion was slightly better than before, and the dark circles under her eyes were gone.
My gaze shifted to the window, and it turned out it was nighttime. If I had kept to my original plan, I would have been here by evening, not night.
I quickly took off my jacket and hung it on the rocking chair before heading straight for the door. Unlocking it, I was shocked to see Prince Caelum on the other side of the door, just moments away from knocking.
"Is there a problem?" I asked.
Our meeting was meant to take place around 10 p.m., and I was sure it wasn't that late yet. And even if it was time for the meeting, it had nothing to do with Caelum.
He shouldn't be here.
