Anger took over Cyril. He wanted to hurt Adriana. He could have given her a punch or two and she wouldn't have reported it to anyone. However, he still had some common sense amid his rage.
"What happened?" General Adelman asked an unusual-looking Cyril.
He had deliberately not interacted with Adriana again. No, after Adriana had come back to defend herself, even though she had made a mistake. Cyril only wanted to hear the words "I'm sorry" and "I was looking for you". That way the anger in his heart would subside.
"Nothing! I'm going back to my room now," Cyril said after he had escorted Adriana to the carriage.
He was fed up and wanted to be alone now. He wanted to cool his head and put all the anger he felt today back into the black box deep inside his heart.
