Days passed by and Damian couldn't help longing for home. He was almost done with his work in the capital and anytime soon, he could start preparing to go back to the duchy.
The duke was reading the last document he needed to sign when he heard a knock outside the window. He checked the time and realized it was almost midnight, and there was only one person who would come to visit him at this hour.
Brushing his hair up, Damian left his seat and walked to the window. He couldn't hide the excitement on his face as he opened and let his visitor in.
"Did something happen?" The duke asked with a small smile playing on his lips. He couldn't even wait to hear what his aide was about to say.
