In the dead of the cold night, an unexpected guest arrived on Ashton's doorstep. It also happened to be the night in Livan before Ashton left for Contingency to take care of the mess there.
Everything considered Ashton's request to meet wasn't something the lady could have overlooked. Especially considering how gloomy he had been in the last few days.
Things have been a bit turbulent around the region's lord in the last week. His temper had improved, but otherwise, it felt like Ashton wasn't himself.
Always being lost in his thoughts, being absentminded and most importantly, not focusing on his succubus were amongst Anna's list of complaints.
Anna had had the feeling ever since that night in Tartarus. After what happened to his father and then to Avalina, it wasn't a surprise he had distanced himself from everyone.
That's why it was unexpected when someone appeared to talk with him while everyone else was in a deep sleep.
