"Let's go." William nodded.
The decision came out calmly, but inside his chest, there was a faint tension that he could not completely hide.
His gaze briefly drifted toward the small house in the distance before returning to Seraphine.
Sera sensed the change of expressions on his face but did not show it; she understood that there was something in that house that William was too insecure to show her.
Her eyes softened slightly as she observed him quietly. She had known William long enough to recognize when something weighed on his mind.
She nodded and let William lead her there; she wanted to see with her own eyes what was bothering her so much.
A few moments later, William arrived in front of the hut with Sera.
The small wooden structure looked humble compared to the vastness of the domain. It stood quietly beneath a cluster of tall trees; its roof was covered with moss, and the faint scent of herbs was drifting from the windows.
Maris came out, making William surprised.
