Erik looked at Valcroy, a heavy stone was lifted from his chest, his creased forehead relaxed a bit. He looked at the robe he was wearing, then at his grinning face, he asked, "What happened?"
Valcroy thought for a moment before he started telling everything from the start. The two sat during his story. Erik called the guards to send in some snacks when he heard Valcroy's growling stomach and his silly smile.
A servant entered and was momentarily surprised when he saw Valcroy. Still, maintaining his professionalism, he arranged the table before leaving.
Time passed, Valcroy finished his story and started eating. Erik got lost in thought, ignoring Valcroy gorging down the food. He knew Eyrx had kidnapped him, but he didn't expect him to be after his heart.
"Young master."
