"What kind of work do you have in the neighbouring kingdom?" Charlotte asked. She was suddenly interested because Zoe's words came to her head. Zoe had told her that Édouard had gone to the wars before. Was he again heading to a war?
"I have an urgent work to finish," Édouard stated.
"At least, tell me before you leave. Do you expect me to not even know what work my husband has if someone asks me?" She mumbled and averted her gaze from him.
She bit her tongue, realising what she had just said, while he ended up smiling. She called him her husband, and that was a great step in his eyes. She had started to acknowledge their relationship.
"An important work related to the kingdom. It is confidential. Father and a few others have knowledge of it," Édouard clarified her a little.
"Oh." Charlotte decided to sleep and slightly moved away from him. "I am sleepy. Goodnight," she said when Édouard told her not to lie.
