Alexander Lennox? Is he not the man who fights all year at the border?
Venera could not help but ask, "Is he not currently at the border?"
"He is," Eve said. "Until last night, that is."
"Last night…" Venera lightly muttered, and her words trailed off at the end. "Oh, so is his arrival the source of all the commotion last night?"
"Yes," Eve answered quickly, nodding her head at the little girl.
Venera was immersed in her own thoughts.
Last night, when the moon was high in the night sky, somewhere in the castle was suddenly brightly lit and very noisy, and there were a few loud clattering and panicked screams.
That night, the entire castle could not sleep peacefully.
Even Venera stirred around in her sleep, waking up as another gust of cold wind hit her face.
Wait a moment, wind?
The little girl huddled up in the soft covers was interrupted in her comfortable and pleasant sleep.
