Qidan Castle....

Yellow sunlight streams golden through the large window in a well-mannered announcement of the risen sun.

Tenseness had taken place in Hardin's mind from last night that has made him more like a mannequin on the soft mattress than a man of flesh and bone. Sleep has said bye to him. His brain turned like a violent whirl of thoughts, trying to organize the chaos in his life.

The pieces of puzzles were just expanding every day. He heaved a deep sigh as he pulled himself up from the bed before he made his way out of his chamber and sauntered to the guest's chamber.

"Kate." He called as he knocked on the wooden made door.

After a few minutes, Kate opened the door. "Yeah?"

"Are you ready?" Hardin implored, shoving his hands inside his pockets.

She nodded. "Yeah."

"Go outside and wait for me in my car. I am coming after talking with my mother." Hardin asserted.

"In your car?" Kate tilted her head.
