"Sir Claude is departing today."
I stayed silent upon hearing their loud whispers and murmurs when I arrived in the dungeon. I settled myself in the corners and made myself busy by taking a book from the shelf.
I knew that today Claude is going to leave. It was making my heart ached. I was not supposed to feel this but I couldn't help. I bit my lower lip when I felt a stinging sensation near at the corners of my eyes. I blinked and snapped out of it.
"Commander."
I raised my glance to see Karen that was in front of me. "Yes?" I asked.
"Sir Claude wishes to have your presence upon his departure later. In hopes you will appear. Also, he needs you to see him on Sir Abraham's office to discuss some matters."
Confused, I closed the book I was reading. "Is it necessary to have my presence there?" What is Claude's plan again and he has to drag me out from his departure? Couldn't he just leave me alone?
