The Last Winter Feast IV
Aster couldn't maintain his consciousness any longer and he finally fainted. Charles agilely caught Aster in his hands and put him on the throne gently. He checked his breathing, his breathing was uneven, which was normal for a Golden Blood that went through trauma like this.
Charles kissed Aster's lips gently and said, "It's okay, darling. Sleep well, you'll forget about that slave after this, and you will devote yourself to our childhood promise. Just like I said, I will never abandon our promise, if you forgot, then I will make you remember."
The situation inside the Grand Ballroom was tense as Charles' men swarmed the aristocrats, and when they saw Grand Duke Aster fainted, panic aroused around the guests. Grand Duke Aster was the man in charge, once he was incapacitated, the duchy and all his men were bound to scatter.
