She is lucky

 Since yesterday, they actively started the investigation where they had to make a trip outside the castle, the voices got louder. He realized he heard it mainly when he was close to Abrielle or Callista. It cursed the former but praised the other.

 

 It was driving him crazy, it felt like a plague, and only when he listened to Callista or did her a favour, he rather didn't, the voices reduced. He rather didn't want to be close to Callista but as an honourable guest of the king and his investigation partner, he was obligated to. When he agrees to her whims, the voice is reduced, an obvious sign it wants him to be closer to Callista.

 

 But that was the last thing he wanted; was to spend unnecessary time with her. She was like an angel, fragile and beautiful, that aroused any man's urge to protect her but not him. Despite the pull he feels towards her and the subconscious urge to listen to her he didn't necessarily like her after how she broke Abrielle.
