Nikolai spent several hours in the comfortable room, ensuring each woman slept. He took one last glance around the room. In the Silent room, soft snoring and murmurs echoed. The ladies were much more peaceful after falling asleep.
"Well... good night."
He slipped through the door, trying to keep quiet.
The door shut with a click.
Nikolai adjusted himself and flicked his collar before heading towards the main study.
Silent... the corridor empty and without sound.
A faint scent of lavender from the fresh flowers Nikita used to decorate.
"Now, what did that little mouse come to do."
The moment he reached the main hallway, two maids appeared on either side, one Leona, the other a woman with dark red hair and a sharp face.
"My Lord, the intruder has been caught."
Leon's bright atmosphere vanished, now acted more serious.
Her lips pressed together, eyes narrowed, and a slightly twisted smile growing.
"I see, take me to him. Leona."
