Chapter 203: Lurking in his mind
Winter in Vesper was much colder than at the capital of Darconia which was Vitalis. Cedric wondered how Abrielle was able to survive in this weather with her little tolerance for cold.
It has been over a month since he left the capital and a week now in Vesper; because Ophelia and Sapphire were not used to the rough road, they had to take it slow and steady. Cedric was not a patient man naturally, but he had no choice but to endure the prolonged journey.
There was a manor close to the port which was used for official business when the royal family was in Vesper. That was where Cedric was resident although he paid periodic visits to his in-laws when they invited him for meals.
It felt like Rebecca was testing him; she kept on asking if he had been in touch with Abrielle and how many letters they had exchanged. Cedric always tried his best to avoid the conversation so as not to ruin his mood whenever he was reminded of the fact that Abrielle never replied to his letters.
He had written to her twice when he first arrived at Vesper and a week later when he didn’t get a reply because carriers birds travel faster, but yet not a single word from her.
He knew she was heartless, but could she not spare a few minutes to write a letter, even if it was going to be filled with lies about her missing him?
"I can’t believe we finished things earlier than planned. After this shipment is cleared in a couple of days we can finally leave this freezing pit." An annoying voice Cedric had learnt to endure her bickering these past few days mentioned from his side.
The sound of waves crashing against the shore and air filled with sea salt were the best features of the port. The rest was dirty and traffic.
"If you have a problem with it you are free to head back to the capital or rather go back to Galvai. I am sure your family misses you." Cedric sneered, Sapphire shrugged off his words and followed behind him.
