Although she was officially the Wonderkul family's bodyguard, Aluella was under no obligation to accompany Edmund, Lucian and Cordelia at all times. They had their own bodyguards, and since coming to Klento was practically a sightseeing trip for them, they wanted to walk up and down.
So Aluella and Victor spent the night in a more expensive hotel in the city to kill the nostalgia of the twenty years they hadn't been able to be together.
When Victor woke up the next day, he could hardly believe his eyes.
Victor blinked, still sleepy, and tried to orient himself in the soft dimness of the hotel room. The faint light of dawn was beginning to filter through the heavy velvet curtains, casting long, lazy shadows on the dark wooden furniture.
