As the morning rays shined through the castle windows, they shone onto Hester Thornton's peerless hourglass figure with fair and glossy-smooth skin while she was soundly asleep.
Nevertheless, the dark bags under Hester Thornton's eyes showed how exhausted she was from keeping up with Vaan all night.
Unless Hester Thornton's body received a fierce shaking, she was unlikely to wake up.
Vaan slowly removed himself from the bed before gently draping the soft woolen blanket over Hester Thornton to keep her body warm from the morning cold without disturbing her sleep.
Afterward, Vaan walked over to the towel and wooden bucket of water in one corner of the room, which had a table and a large wooden tub of clean water for bathing.
Vaan wiped his face with the towel and water from the wooden bucket before shifting his focus on the tremors in the ground.
The servants living in the castle had woken up early and started doing their morning chores.
