Chapter 31: First Kiss

Rhyland's absence at dinner with the council did not come without repercussions although the butler had given the council an excuse saying Rhyland's mother Elena Mueller had fallen ill. This could also explain the constant coming and going of Doctor Viktor Faust in their home. The Council still decided that he deserved to be punished.

And so, Rhyland was put under house arrest for a week with Rhal's subordinates monitoring the manor to catch any infraction.

However, for Rhyland who had been hiding Aubrey in his manor, this punishment couldn't have come at a more perfect time.

'I didn't want to leave the house anyways.' Rhyland thought.

Now that his mind was clear and he didn't feel that constant insatiable hunger, he felt at peace. Not to mention, he quite enjoyed hanging out with Aubrey. Since the girl was on bed rest for a week, Rhyland took it upon himself to bring activities to keep Aubrey's mind off of things.
