A Decision

Caspian sat brooding in his study room until it was quite late. To be more precise, he sat there until it was way past Anastasia’s bedtime, so as to avoid having an accidental encounter with his wife as he headed back to his own chamber.

After leaving all the documents in disarray, he sprung up from his seat and began to stride down the corridor while holding his head high as usual.

Obviously, he could not avoid Anastasia’s chamber since he had to pass through that path to reach his room.

He tried his best to walk past the guarded main door. However, when he reached the door, his feet automatically made their stop.

The Queen’s guards also didn’t seem to mind his presence there since they immediately stood aside and bowed to him.

Caspian gritted his teeth when they simply stepped aside to let him go inside the chamber.

Though that was what he wanted to do at the moment, he angrily scolded them, but at a low volume in case his wife was already asleep.
