Violet was a body without a soul. She just had an exhausting conversation without knowing how they arrived there. Cassiel proves to be more stubborn the older he gets. In the end, she was saved by the persistence of Victor who arrived to bring his captain away. They set up the meeting with the leader of the royal guards and the young lord Ashford left to attend to his duties.
"Don't go anywhere and stay here. I told them to bring your things from the inn, they will arrive soon," he reminded her before leaving the room.
"I'm so tired," Violet lamented when she was alone. "I can't leave even if I want to…"
Her legs refused to move, but at least her body felt warm. She forgot the ask him again if it was truly okay for her to keep the stone. Not only did Cassiel lose his rewards, but it was also an heirloom of Taica's royal family. Wouldn't taking it away to disrespectful? Especially that glare that the princess gave them was horrifying.
