The next day when Charlotte woke up, she didn't find Édouard around. She sat up on the bed and stretched her arms out. For some reason, she was getting better sleep after she had come here.
She got out of bed and wore the soft slippers when Zoe entered the bedroom. She greeted her while bowing her head slightly.
"Where is the Duke?" Charlotte asked.
Zoe was astonished for a second. Charlotte never asked about Édouard in the morning. This was unusual behavior of hers.
"The Duke is in his manor, Your Grace," Zoe replied.
"Oh. Did he leave in the middle of the night?" Charlotte was tired last night, so she didn't know if he was in her bedroom or not after she fell into a deep slumber. After he got upset with her, she wondered if he had already decided to be away from her.
"I do not know about this, Your Grace," Zoe stated.
"Hmm."
