"My lord, there is a messenger from the Alancaster house. We asked him to leave the message but he said that he needed to meet you." Harold frowned. He looked at Elene who was sleeping on the other side. His hair was still a mess and he could see many marks on her pale skin.
"Ask him to wait in the reception room, I will be there." maids helped him in washing up and wearing a proper suit before he went to meet the duke. The events of yesterday are still fresh in his mind though he could not see any sign of the tumultuous storm that hit their palace.
Everything was pristine and perfect. When the door was opened, the messenger stood up and bowed his head.
"My lord!"
"I never knew that messengers had the right to demand to meet the master. I am amazed at how the duke's palace works actually." Harold mocked, his eyes digging a hole on the messenger's face but the man looked unperturbed.
