"Once I am old enough, I will surely go and see you, Mother." 

Adam smiled, holding the letter in his hand. Today, he received Lilou's long letter. They had been exchanging letters ever since Lilou woke up from her slumber. He could still remember how shocked he was the first time he received Lilou's first letter after months of not hearing any news from them. 

"My lord, about the House Fletcher..." an old man from across the earl's desk trailed off as Adam raised his gaze over the parliament. 

"What about the House Fletcher?" 

"Baron Fletcher is requesting a private audience with you."

Adam let out a shallow breath as he put down the letter. "Another request for a private audience?" he frowned as the House Fletcher had been too persistent recently.
