The meeting ended in an uncomfortable silence that enveloped the courtroom after what the king said.
Right now, Sthena made his way to the guest room where Marco was and he thought Perdita would be there too.
On reaching the hallway that led to the guest room, he saw Marco stepping out of the room with slightly unsteady steps.
Sthena frowned. What was the boy doing and where was his sister?
"I see you're awake," Sthena spoke when he reached where Marco stood trying to catch his breath that came out in small pants.
Marco was startled by the sudden voice he heard. He raised his bowed head and saw it was the red-haired vampire.
When did he walk up to him? He hadn't heard him coming.
"Where are you going? I don't see a need for you to stretch your legs when you can barely stand." Sthena further said.
"I'm looking for my sister," Marco answered in a small pained voice. His body was still in pain.
