Ripon was finally free after a tiresome day. He was in his room, enjoying his vine when he heard a knock on the door. Sighing, he called, "Who is it?"
He was in no mood of meeting anyone. He had already shaken hundreds of hands today. His cheeks hurt putting up the fake smile. He could leave for his room only after the royals left.
-"You have a great responsility on your shoulders Mr Ripon. After Mr Addington's death I fear the situation might escalate out of control. We need peace. Humans need to live!"- The king had said.
Ripon closed his eyes, recalling the night of Addington's death. Those animalistic eyes still haunted him.
A shiver ran down his spine as he remembered the moment he shook hands with Lord Augustus when he congratulated him.
He was broken from his train of thoughts when another knock fell on the door. With an annoyed sigh, he walked to the door and opened it.
His body went still when he saw Edwin at the door.
"Edwin O'Dell?"
