As soon as Cyrus got free from his duties, after guiding the soldiers and collecting a fair amount of the troops, who were loyal to him, he knew that he was ready to go ahead with the rest of the plan.
And then the most difficult one was to bring Alice with him. She was sleeping.
He had made sure that she sleeps. He used his magical power to let her drown in the slumber but he surely regrets the same.
Coming back into his chamber, his eyes fell on the bed to see through the transparent knitted net. Her face directly came into his view and suddenly, he felt a very heavy weight on his heart.
Cyrus won't deny that these feelings were very unusual, disturbing him out of nowhere. But at the same time, he won't regret whatsoever he has for this lady. At the end of the day, he has to safeguard her because living without her was unimaginable thought now.
