Raven's story

Those harsh words left Lyndon hiccupping internally, his breath catching in his throat as he struggled to find a response.

"Oh, well—that's…"

"It's not just Lyndon who feels that way. I am also quite worried to hear that the Duchess is unwell, but it's still better to finish today's portion of work," Terrance interjected, his voice tinged with concern yet resolute in his dedication to duty.

'What am I doing? Love?' The thought gnawed at him, a foreign concept that tangled his thoughts and emotions into a confused web.

His confused eyes trembled after quite a long time, the weight of his internal struggle reflected in his gaze.
