114 — For Power

Staring at the calendar of the lunar calendar, Valen's gaze focused on a specific date– October 19th– the day his beloved younger sister had passed away. 

Rage rushed through his veins once he recalled how much she pleased him to send her to visit Lucian, only for her dead body to return to the palace. 

He turned to face the king seated on his desk. The table had accumulated a pile of documents on which one of them could work due to their mourning period. Although the servants made sure there was no dust on the bookshelves or any of the papers, Valen felt something bugging him and he knew what it was.
