SENTINEL was forced to come out of Lady Nystrom's heart when she summoned him.
When he got out, he realized that he was in the duchess's room. Lady Nystrom stood in front of him. But he was easily distracted by the young lord who was sleeping on the crib.
Seeing the baby made him feel uncomfortable.
"Sentinel, why are you looking at my child like that?" Lady Nystrom confronted him in a strict voice. When he turned to her, he saw the duchess with her arms over her chest while giving him a disapproving look. "Do you have a problem with my baby?"
Sentinel shook his head. "I don't, Your Grace."
Well, it wasn't like he could tell the duchess that he was afraid of her child.
In his defense, it wasn't just him. He was pretty sure that other spirits were naturally afraid of the Moon Serpent. Heck, even gods were wary of the giant snake!
