I'm Not One To Toy With

It had been a while since Karium Maselli left and Nicklaus Elan finally made his way to his wife's chamber. When he reached the door, Elys who was on duty bowed to greet him.

"Commander."

"Is she inside?" Nicklaus Elan asked the guard.

"Yes, Commander."

Nicklaus wondered why she still hasn't come out considering the time. It was already time for dinner and if it was like other days, she would have already come out for dinner.

Confused, the Commander turned to the guard once again. "Did something happen?"

Elys shook his head. "A while ago, the lady tried to come and see you but she changed her mind and we return without even entering your chamber."

She came?

Nicklaus Elan raised a brow when he recalled what he did a while ago.

Did she happen to hear anything?

Feeling somewhat anxious, Nicklaus promptly knocked on the door. "Lillian, it's me. Can I come inside?"
