Alaric's eyebrows knitted in a deep frown.
"Why did you leave your post? You are supposed to stay with Eve in the manor."
He sounded displeased. He was also upset with Sera because she never reported about Eve getting sick.
"My Lord, forgive me. But this matter is urgent. It is also related to your wife, Eve." Sera simply glanced at Caleb, signaling him to leave. She just wanted to talk to Alaric alone.
But Caleb just lifted his eyebrow, curious about what she was going to say.
"What happened to my wife? Is she alright?" Alaric's tone softened when he mentioned her name. His concern for her was visible in his eyes.
"I wish to speak with you alone, my Lord," Sera insisted, not answering Alaric's query.
"Leave us for a moment," Alaric said to Caleb.
