Since this day turned out to be quite exhausting, I decided to go to bed earlier than usual. But suddenly, before I could give the necessary orders to the maids, there was a knock on my room.
The knocking was quite loud and impatient.
There weren't many people in this castle who were willing to barge in on me with such persistence. Of course, at first I assumed that it might be the Crown Princess. And so I wondered what she could be doing here at this hour. However…
«Come in,» after I hesitantly gave my permission, the door swung open without delay.
I didn't think I could be even more surprised, because the unexpected visitor to my room wasn't even the Crown Princess, but… Mag.
The Knight of the Dark Host looked agitated and out of breath, as if he had been running all the way here.
— Meg…? What are you doing here? — I asked immediately.
— Lady!
Suddenly, a man with scars and a menacing appearance fell to his knees in front of me.
