Chapter 36: + - 36+
Caspian was woken up by a familiar face, he froze for a moment as he stared at the maid who did the same.
"I didn’t give you out, come eat dinner before it gets cold." She gruffly said.
He gratefully got off the bed at that, he didn’t think he would see the maid again.
Especially not after his first night here when he had done the exact opposite of what she told him to and tried to escape, he hadn’t seen her again.
He didn’t know if he should be relieved or not that she decided to keep his secret, deciding to just pretend like it didn’t exist.
A different maid came to clear out the dishes, saying not even a single word to him and nervously avoiding him.
Caspian had a feeling that Jael had something to do with that but as long as it kept him from Nikolai, he had no dissensions.
He sat on the couch and put the television on to fill the room with ambient sounds, his gaze constantly drifting to the door, expecting Asher to return soon.
Caspian wasn’t sure how long he spent waiting but when he woke up the next morning, he was on the bed and Asher was gone.
The longer the charade dragged out, the more exhausted he got, and it wasn’t just from keeping his secret from Asher.
