Yulis was walking through the hallway on his way to the inner palace when he saw a kid's shadow turn toward one of the doors. His brows furrowed as he tilted his head to the side.

"What is Klaus doing?" he wondered, catching the boy's shadow entering the royal library. "Shouldn't he be looking after the child?"
