I waited but Evander didn’t come to my room, just as he said.
I couldn’t remember how many times I peeked between the curtains of the window but the three of them weren’t there anymore, and my heart sank, realizing that I hadn’t even had the chance to kiss my husband goodbye before he left. Was dad’s scolding so bad that he got too furious to go back inside the palace to see me? Or was it because of another urgent matter that he urgently had to attend and he didn’t have enough time to see me before he left?
Whatever the reason, I had to endure my husband’s absence and make myself useful in any way I could.
But how?
There were too many sentinels guarding this palace in every corner. Four were assigned outside my room and I had no idea how many more were appointed all over this massive place.
I tried to tether him through our bond and sense his presence but he was gone and out of my reach.
