Return

Needless to say, sharing Wayne's revelation caused deep shock, especially to someone with reverence toward the nobles. Monica had received special education in that field, so learning that Khan probably was one of them left her more than speechless.

Of course, the surprise wasn't Monica's sole reaction, but Khan's injuries and her own emotional state prevented her from exploring that revelation any further. The couple could only talk about it for a bit before forcing themselves to sleep.

More peaceful hours went by. Khan wasn't fond of resting, but being emotional support for Monica allowed him to sleep for a long time. That was the longest break he had taken in recent weeks, and his tired body rejoiced at it.
