Once Asher came back, he settled next to the duke, laying down and hugging him.
"I am sorry Asher."
Felix muttered.
"Mmm..."
Asher mumbled.
"I will be more thoughtful."
"You should be."
"Mmm..."
Asher and Felix stayed in the silence a little more before Felix spoke up again, quite hesitant.
"Mm...Did you tell Anne...I-"
"No. No one said anything to her. She believes you are just sick...like how you are in that certain time of the month."
"Ah...That's good..."
Felix said, then going into silence once again.
"Duke, I know you don't want to talk about what you had as a wrong memory. I didn't get to say this before but...actually, I feel like what you saw wasn't a hallucination but something else..."
Asher said, snuggling closer to the duke till the duke put his arms around him.
"...What do you mean?"
Felix asked.
