Suddenly everything started to go blur before Noah's eyes.
"What is happening?" he thought to himself.
He suddenly got up and went out of the shop. And then snapped back to reality.
"What is happening to me suddenly? Just a moment ago I was inside and now I am suddenly outside?" he said as he massaged his forehead which was aching.
"But those ladies were saying something about the ball at the Brooks. And something tells me I must go tonight." Saying this he headed straight towards the royal castle with a rented carriage.
The guards at the gate opened the royal gates when they saw Duke Noah Gilbert in the carriage.
It wasn't that late, and no one knew that the duke returned from his vacation, thus the ministers and noblemen in the morning assembly felt a chill in their spine seeing duke return from his vacation early.
He entered the assembly hall, and there was a sudden wave of silence.
