Right after the party, which lasted until dawn, one of the duke's servants, accompanied by Michelleto, escorted us to our room. When I say "our room," I mean mine and Cesare's, whom the entire peninsula knows as my fiancé. Interesting, to say the least...
Although the castle was simply adorned, it still had a peculiar aura that made me feel much more uneasy than in other places, stirring my curiosity about the mysteries this castle held. Michelleto personally brought us to the door, then bowed solemnly before his masters after casting a warning glance at me.
"If you need anything, Your Excellency, do not hesitate to call on me," he said before withdrawing.
"Sure, we will. Don't worry about our protection because Benjamin is in the adjoining room, and you are nearby, correct?"
