Charles let Aster go soon after he left the room. Aster immediately packed all his things and then left the castle. He shuddered all the way, imagining the scary Charles who would swallow him without even spitting the bones. It made him only want to run away as far as he could, maybe to the point that he just wanted to be invisible in front of Charles.
Aster was that frightened.
Aster returned to Lantern Palace after the whole day of travel, but he didn't sleep at all. He was guarded all the way until Dionde City and he could finally take a relieved breath after his carriage entered the Lantern Palace.
Aster rushed to his room and then took a warm bath, he ignored every servant who greeted him or asked him. He even ignored Ramuja and Irion who followed him and asked what just happened. He just wanted to hide right now.
