Chapter 251

• “I...I need to go and talk to the lord”, I mutter and leave immediately. I can’t look up, I feel embarrassed for some reason. Everything is going so badly and I don’t know why.
• The feast is over and everyone is going to their homes. I enter Nasias’s mansion, ready to confront him. I feel the cold air brushing my cheeks, the hall is dark and no guards are around. This isn’t normal.
• I’m cautious, feeling like something is totally wrong and I need to be careful. I tighten my fists as I hear my footsteps, getting closer and closer to his office. The entrance is closed but I don’t hesitate to knock on the door. I hear his voice, inviting me in.
