It was still early in the morning when there was a knock at Cyril's door and a servant informed him that a guest had come to see him. Cyril hurried to change his clothes without disturbing Johan, who was still asleep. He thought it was one of the king's envoys or Abbertus. But it was General Adelman who was in the living room.
"Aren't you going back to Fort Varden today?" Cyril bombarded General Adelman with questions as soon as he entered the living room, ignoring the greetings that should have been exchanged.
General Adelman smelled of stale alcohol. It seemed the man had been drinking last night, just as he had the last time they were in the capital. Seeing how sober General Adelman was now, Ferron must have managed to stop his drinking.
"Well, I'm going back to the fort. I just wanted to visit you before I leave. Guren is still asleep at the residence. Do you need help here? I can send Karl when I get to the fort later!"
