Chapter 12 - 10 - The Silence of the Night

The halls fell silent as all servants concluded their duties for the night, while the moonlight illuminated the darkness. Robert wandered alone through the halls, ensuring that he and everyone in the castle were safe as the sun rose once more. His mind was noisy, and he couldn't quiet his thoughts without risking a headache.

He sighed in frustration, unaware he had been holding onto it all day. After he returned the young boy to his room for the night, he was astonished that Her Majesty would permit a boy like him to enter the castle, which was filled with adults. Moreover, Her Majesty is expecting a child shortly.

Therefore, that young boy will not be receiving significant attention within the castle. However, the primary question that remained in Robert's mind concerned the whereabouts of his parents and the reasons for their departure, which had left their son alone and abandoned in such a place. Moreover, how did he manage to enter the castle without facing any punishment?

But those questions remained unanswered. He gazed at the night sky, contemplating the direction in which the future would proceed from this point on.
