"I've caused you all to worry."
Count Thorn stood behind the door, simply stepping out, an act that should have been simple, yet his legs trembled.
Before the door was a bright garden, while behind, lay the dead stillness of the inner sanctum, the prison that had confined him for years.
"You, you shouldn't force yourself."
Herseya knew what Count Thorn had been through; she had witnessed that incident with her own eyes.
That's why the Spring Queen was so heartbroken for Count Thorn.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Count Thorn lifted his hand, grasping the doorframe; he took a deep breath, desperately fighting the fear within his heart.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing how Count Thorn gasped for breath, Herseya hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"No need."
However, Count Thorn gave her a reassuring smile, "I have already made you wait too long."
"I need to go to Yatun."
