"Huuu…" Katarina made sure that Gloria returned safely before finally returning to the room. They drank quite a lot, but Gloria completely let her guard down this time.
It must have been the stress.
"It's fortunate that it ended up like this." Katarina narrowed her eyes. She went to her room first, as it was already extremely late.
She opened the room as quietly as possible, thinking that everyone was already asleep.
To her surprise, the room might be dark, but one lamp was still on in it.
Auric was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. He was reading a book related to evolution materials.
As soon as he saw Katarina, he didn't say anything. Instead, he simply stood up and headed to the bed, as if he had been actually waiting for her to return.
"…" Katarina was startled. It was as if Auric was planning to wait for her until she returned, even if that meant he wasn't sleeping at all. As soon as he confirmed she was all right, he didn't make any complaints.
