Chapter 143

• Douglas POV
• Walking closer to the window, I could see it was May, she was returning from the war I think. Why after the guards and her friend must have gone searching for her, I'm gonna tell her this, what really happened while she was away.
• My joy knew no bounds, I hurriedly stepped into my sandals and buckled it. With a wind speed, I hastened downstairs and out of the castle. Everywhere was empty as Lucinda had earlier informed me, all strategic points where guards stood earlier were now vacant. You could only hear the sound of the wind. This isn't an issue as long as my love has returned safely. Being with her is much better than a thousand companions, she'd love and protect me. Her company is what I really need most to survive this change.
