[Vol. 2] Chapter 45

I was waiting in our room and my mind was filled with questions. Questions as to why father forbade me to meet the emperor and while he was guilty of not taking good care of me, he was glad that Arashi was fulfilling his wishes.

I felt my stomach tightening in a knot as heaviness took birth on my chest. I wanted to know. It might not be my place to know everything but Arashi and my father were my family and I believe I had the right to know.

The door slid open and I looked at Arashi. He entered and said, "We will leave tomorrow morning. Rest as much as possible." His demeanor had changed as if some heavy things were placed on his shoulders.

"Okay," I mumbled and took my corner on the futon. I wanted to ask him so many questions but I dared to do so. What if he wouldn't answer them and got angry.
