Invasion of Privacy

At Cordon Castle

Jayra could only sigh as she watched the couple leave her workshop chamber in the castle. As much as she wanted to help Gilas, she couldn't have done so due to having lost too much of her inner energy already. So instead of doing that, she stood up and started tidying up her things. She had spent enough with her experiments and now, she would like to see Xenia.

But just as she was about to leave, the door to her room suddenly opened, making her flinch in surprise.

"Are you alright?" Bartos asked as he inspected her from head to toe. 

Jayra frowned, "Of course, I am. Why?" 

"I just passed by Clara and Gilas. Clara told me to check on you," Bartos anxiously replied. "Also, I felt the sudden erratic beating of your heart. What happened? Did you overwork yourself again?"
