Liam's Quest

[: Daniel POV :]

"We have arrived at the guest room, and the Head will be joining us shortly"

"Meanwhile, a maid will serve some drinks and sweets for your enjoyment,"

The captain informed us before taking his leave, leaving Bella and me waiting for the arrival of the Head.

After a seemingly endless minute of anticipation, the Head of the Wilbert Family finally entered the room.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Princess,"

He said apologetically as he took his seat.

However, as I observed the man closely, I couldn't help but notice the fatigue etched on his face.

It resembled someone who hadn't slept in days and had been overburdened with work.

I couldn't help but notice the telltale signs on Liam's face - the dark eye bags, the pale complexion, and his visibly thin body.

Bella, too, took notice of his state, her curiosity piqued as to what could have caused such a change.
