Gaum followed this slave to a tower and climbed the spiraling staircase. It was quite tiring, but he managed to reach the top with two guards on both side, solemnly guarding the door. The guards glanced at the slave and nodded, thus, the slave opened the door slowly.
Gaum was welcomed with a room without any edges in it, the floor was made out of expensive marble tiles, but there was nothing extraordinary in this room. No expensive furniture, antiques or something extremely valuable, even though this was supposed to be the room of Young Lord of Grand Duchy Stormhill. There were a bed, large wardrobe, sofa and wooden desk.
However, in that sofa, Young Lord Aster sat while reading a letter. His expression was solemn, but when he raised his head and looked at Gaum's direction, his eyes flickered and he showed a simple smile.
