Caspian knew who was going to be at the door and why. So, without even inquiring further, he said in a bit louder and more authoritative tone, “Give me a few minutes, Zenon. You can wait for me in my study. And we will head out right away.”
It was indeed Zenon who was at the door. After hearing the King’s order, he bowed even though he couldn’t see the King and replied, “I will do as you said. Everyone is waiting for your order.” He reminded the King that everybody else was already ready to head for the border so that the King wouldn’t keep them waiting for much longer.
After hearing the sound of the footsteps getting fainter and fainter, Caspian buried his face into Anastasia’s neck and mumbled, “I’m going to miss you, Anna.”
“I will miss you too,” Anastasia whispered back while gently running her fingers through the beautiful blond hair of her husband.
