The Person Behind

After the royal hunt, everyone returned to the palace. King Solomon summoned the generals and the other military officers of Kingdom Averion. Crown Prince Cassian and Chancellor Igrin joined them in the Command Hall.

Meanwhile, General Alaric left behind, escorting Eve to Stormholt Manor. His Knight Commander, Caleb, attended the strategic meeting with the other generals on his behalf. 

Upon arriving at Stormholt Manor, Alaric brought Eve to their chamber immediately. He held her hand tightly as he pulled her inside.

"Marie, don't let anyone disturb us," Alaric said to the female servant before closing the door.

"I shall see to it, my Lord," Marie simply responded, eyeing the married couple teasingly.

Meanwhile, Eve looked at Alaric with puzzlement in her eyes.

"Is there something wrong?" She asked him.
