Doubts

Fear has his own rhythm and tone like music. Just when the keys are pressed, a different tone sounds each time, the same person can react differently when faced with different kinds of fears. Killian had decided to bow in front of Cedric when he feared him. But when his governess tried to control him…. 

In the duke's manor,

"You are back young master?" the knights looks relieved when Killian returned. Their eyes went from his governess to him. Killian could see doubts in their eyes but he stood there calm.

"Where is my uncle?" he asked, waiting for them to reply when they looked at each other hesitating. 

Slowly they took a step back, creating a path for Cedric. Cedric stood there leaning on the pillar with his eye closed as if he was resting. But Killian could feel his uncle's eyes on him even when they were closed. His posture was easy and relaxed as if he had all the time in the world.
