“You’re still up? It’s late. You should have gone to bed hours ago Alois.” The Countess was one to speak, for she too had stayed awake. However this was the norm for her as she tended to walk the halls late at night and not retire until much later on. How long has it been since she had received the news that her beloved child had returned the manor? It has to he have been months or more now.
How had she found out her son was still awake? Isabella had found it strange that a light was on in one of the rooms at the end of a hall. It was not a bed chamber, so she had decided to investigate. “Could you not sleep? Or were you so curious that you wanted to see what was in here?”
