I remained close to Ira's chest as he told me all that he knew that occurred at the Von Lykaner palace after I left. I braced myself for whatever terrible news I would hear but deep in my heart, I convinced myself that nothing I heard would make me want to go back.
The first thing Ira mentioned was Ven's disappearance. After entering my room and discovering that I wasn't there, and the letter I left behind baring my emotions and breaking up with him, he locked himself in his apartment for the next few hours until dark. When no one was paying attention to him because he dismissed the servants who wanted to make sure he was alright, and Iris who wanted to use that opportunity to her advantage, he slipped out of the palace in the shade of the night so that no one could see him.
No one knew
