"I REMEMBERED I only called Ed here," Wulfric said, seeing the smiling Hildred walking into his room with Edmund.
"What? Am I now unwelcome here?" Hildred asked with a shock expression. Then he suddenly appeared sad. "I only wanted to check if you're okay. Wulf, how can you not appreciate my sincerity?"
Wulfric only gave Hildred a blank look. "Stop with the act or I'll kick you out."
Hildred's expression suddenly changed to a playful one. Then he grinned at Wulfric and just shrugged. "Ed and I were having our dinner when you suddenly called him here. You know how much I hate eating alone. So, I had to go with him."
Edmund wanted to pull Hildred behind him. Couldn't he see that the general was in a bad mood? How could he still act like this? What if the general's temper flared up and he ended up at the receiving end of it? But before he could pull Hildred, he felt the general's sharp gaze on him.
