Chapter 159
As soon as the work was finished, he’d said he’d return—but even today, the day before the banquet, Ferio still hadn’t arrived. Outside, darkness had already fallen like ink.
“What matters most is that he returns safely.”
Varia comforted Leonia, saying everything would be fine.
She’d been putting on a brave face, but truthfully, Leonia missed Ferio every single day.
Noticing her loneliness, Varia came to her room every night and stayed by her side until she fell asleep.
“Sis, sleep with me again tonight.”
Leonia crept over and held Varia’s fingers.
“Yes, of course.”
Varia readily agreed.
Sleeping beside Leonia was something she truly enjoyed.
What especially pleased Varia was the massive bed.
It was the largest, softest bed she’d ever seen—big enough to fit at least four fully grown adults with room to spare.
