The moment Drayce stepped out of Seren's bedchamber, the pleasant expression on his face disappeared and it changed back to a cold one. His gaze hardened with each step he took, masking the worries hounding his mind from observers' eyes. When he reached the King's chamber, he went straight to his royal bath. Orion had served him for a long time, and he could arrange for the needs of his king even without orders from him.

Leaving his robe on the side, Drayce stepped into the hot waters of the indoor pool and lowered his body until the water reached mid-chest. He closed his eyes as he sat back, resting his back against the wooden wall with his arms spread leisurely on the wooden platform behind him. Strained silence enveloped the side chamber as he kept that posture, and even his breathing could be barely heard over the noise of his thoughts.
