Romanoff Dukedom: Plan (17)

As soon as he was inside his office, Ius approached his desk to retrieve that small stack of documents he had just received. 

He needed some time alone in a place where no one would be able to reach him. So, he went inside the room hidden behind the bookshelves. 

The moment he shut the door, Ius was finally able to heave a sigh. But not the sort that eased his anxious mind. It was a sigh that was long due. 

Whenever he was outside of his safe space, Ius couldn't help but feel as if he was suffocating. Once he exited that hidden room, his mind would be bombarded by the problems he was facing. 

At the least, for a short moment, Ius wanted an escape from every single thing bothering him. He was only a young man who was subjected to a myriad of problems within a few weeks. 

Even if he was the most exemplary of individuals, he would still need a breather to be able to recover.
