A noticeably different atmosphere settled over the Grand Duchy.
‘I wonder what’s going on.’
Asella stood by the window, gazing outside with a sense of curiosity. The mansion, dimly lit by only a few lanterns, appeared no different than usual. However, there was an unusual air of tension in the grand duchy.
‘What could be the reason for His Majesty to send a letter?’
Though Ryzen vaguely expressed that a letter had arrived from the palace, it was easy to sense the exact sender. Unless it was a communication from the Emperor himself, there would be no reason for the Grand Duke to act immediately.
‘I plan to come back with good news soon.’
The unfamiliar words he had uttered before releasing her. Asella had been mulling over Calix’s words all this time, but she couldn’t find an answer.
“Ah…”
Her heart grew restless, and a heavy sigh escaped her lips. Due to the temperature difference between the outside and inside, her breath left a faint frost on the window. Just then, Margo, who had remained in the room, spoke to Asella.
“Your Highness, I think it’s time for you to get some rest.”
“I can’t sleep.”
An inexplicable restlessness took hold. Her heart was beating shallowly but rapidly.
“If that’s the case, shall I prepare some sleeping herbs for you?”
“Sleeping herbs?”
“Yes. It helps you get a good night’s sleep, and you’ll feel very refreshed the next day. It’s good for headaches and clears the mind.”
“I think I’ve heard of it.”
Asella pondered for a moment and nodded her head. Following Margo’s instructions, the servants moved in an orderly fashion.
