Chapter 78: Falsely accused
BANG BANG BANG
"Lord Blackburn is still resting! He is not awake yet!"
"I don’t care! What he is doing is cruel and needs to be put to a stop! His damn guard won’t even listen to me!"
"My Lord needs his rest! He only has three days till-"
"I don’t care! I need to speak with him!" Cass rustled against the black sheets, his vision a little blurry as all the loud noise right outside his door made it hard for him to remain asleep. What on earth was all that shouting about? What was going on?
Was that Lady Fiona?
The door flung off its hinges, surprising everyone, even Lady Fiona. Her face, which had been contorted into an angry, aggressive face, turned to one of surprise, before it shifted to shock.
Cass couldn’t understand why she was looking at him like that as he sat up, rubbing his eye of sleepy cats. He ran his hand over his face completely, before pushing his hair out of his face with a yawn.
"There were more polite ways to go about that." He muttered, still sleepy. Sam was beside Lady Fiona, his expression worried, and behind them was Draken, and Lord Ridgewood. Draken was staring in shock at Cass, while Lord Ridgewood didn’t look surprised in the slightest.
Sam rushed forward, towards Cass, but Lady Fiona thrust her arm out and nearly clotheslined the man. Sam choked, falling to his knees, and Cass felt a tinge of anger at her actions. Sam did not deserve to be treated that way.
"No good morning? Hello? What has brought all three of you into my chambers at this ungodly hour?" Cass demanded, yawning again before he stretched. Lady Fiona cleared her throat, her face falling back into anger as she looked him over.
