Ch59: Castiel's Madness

[Ashford, Marquess Granville Residence.]

 

"I wrote to Vienna so many times; why is there no reply?" Castiel muttered in a frustrated tone. He opened the window of his chamber room, welcoming the arrival of an empty white dove with no reply letter. "I missed you, Vienna. Are you mad and hating me instead?"

 

A cool breeze blew in, and Castiel realized he had been locked up for several days. He gathered determination and courage. "Alright, then, I'll just go to Oakhaven to see her." 

 

Vaguely, Castiel overheard the conversation of the maids who were cleaning the backyard. They were whispering, 

 

"Yes, everyone has already left for Venzor, as His Highness the crown prince is getting married tomorrow."

"Really? I had thought that he would marry one of the daughters of the seven pillars of the chosen noble family."
