"You have captured him? Why did no one think to wake me for this important matter?" Ophelia asked, looking back and forth between Alice and Thomas for an explanation.
"I wanted to wake you, but Thomas said we should let you rest. We have been speaking about it for the last hour or so," Alice explained, ready to place the blame on Thomas.
"Because it will take some time for Lord Valthorn to be brought from where he was caught to the castle. That is why I did not want to wake you before he was here," Thomas said, hoping not to be in trouble.
"I see. Are you well, Thomas? Alice told me that you were injured," Ophelia said, focusing on the issue at hand.
"I am well. I have faced worse battles than the one in the kitchen. We searched the castle and gathered those who appeared suspicious. They are being questioned as we speak. If you are still tired, you can rest," said Thomas.
