A week had passed by after the incident, Adam lived on the same bits and scraps left inside the house which they had used back when he was still here with his mother.
He no longer knew what he had to do. Adam even took note that his week-long vacation had already passed and that if he stayed even a day longer here, he would be in deep trouble. But at this point, nothing matters anymore, his one reason for giving it his all back at the castle was buried a few meters away from him already.
The broken glass pane from the window was just large enough for a messenger pigeon to squeeze itself in and him a message. Adam opened it and noticed that it was from the High Council themselves. It wrote as: "Today is the seventh day of your break, we have given it to you as promised. We expect you to report back for duty as soon as possible or before the eight day ends. Do not waste our time, Adam Rosa" then the letter ends.
