Ferdinand woke up in the morning feeling mighty refreshed.
Last night, he had been through a quick succession of emotions worth several thousand years if he had been his former isolated self.
It was one of his most intense nights so far, and probably would be for a while.
Ferdinand had trusted Alwin to always report anything important related to Arabella since he had gotten used to Alwin doing so. He never expected Alwin would work with Arabella in hiding something major from him.
Alwin not reporting Arabella's other activities immediately was alright, but something that would greatly affect the future, Ferdinand had always believed Alwin would choose to tell him.
It was quite a shock that Alwin hid it from him completely and was even willing to go to extreme lengths, even hurting himself to keep the secret.
