Chapter 71 A Surprise For Hector

• In the days leading up to it, Hector found a way to distract himself from constantly thinking about Skye.
• He asked the king for assignments, searched for books on topics that interested him in the vast library, read them, discussed unrelated subjects with the king, and did whatever else he could to stay occupied.
• The day passed quickly, but the night tormented him as he lay in bed staring at the ceiling, unable to escape the image of Skye burning in his mind.
