Chp.105: The dream

He was still standing there and even though hours had passed in his dream he was just standing for mere couple of minutes in this world.

"Your highness?" A maid asked him since he was standing there in front of Janice's room without going in. 

Noah snapped back into reality and knocked the door. "Duchess?" He awkwardly called her out hoping that she wouldn't be awake yet and he could go away since after looking at himself dying again he wasn't in the mood to talk.

But she opened the door herself. Her face looked pale and yet her eyes showed disappointment. He was confused and then realised his grave mistake. On the night when he was actually supposed to stay with his wife he was somewhere else.

He got to know the depth of the situation of himself leaving his wife alone on their first night of wedding after he heard the maids whispering.

"Of course she would be disappointed and sad." He thought to himself as he instinctively loooked down.
