Gaunt And Pale

"What did you say?" his eyes widened and he had never been this shocked in his life. He did not need to be told twice. The servant looked with surprise how the knight ran for his post.

'I have never seen time this enthusiastic about his work.' he thought as he saw how pale the man became when he came to know that the lord was looking for him.

Galob only stopped when he stood in front of Cotlin. Yet, he could not believe his eyes. Even if he had received the note and decided to save his fiance, there was no way he could come so fast. Yet, here he was… sitting with the count and smiling.
