By the time Caius left the drawing room, it was quite late. Prince Rylen had excused himself not long after Caius arrived in the drawing room but knowing that there was nothing for him to do in his bedchambers, Caius had remained with the Lord, drinking until the fire almost went out.
The Lord had to be supported to his room by guards. Caius almost felt sorry for them. Lord Leopold was a huge man, and he weighed as much as he looked.
Caius made his way to his wing. The guards bowed to him, and Caius just went past them. He walked up the stairs and soon came to his floor. Passing the room, he subconsciously slowed when he came upon Rose's door. Light flickered from under it. Without lingering, he made his way toward his chambers.
Rose found that she couldn't sleep. Edna lay on the rug on the ground, snoring softly. Rose had tried to convince her to join her on the bed, but the maid wouldn't hear it.
