Chapter 478
I decided to keep watch, like the last time
Sebastian had asked me to gather some tree branches, but before heading out, I turned to another spot that I had been wondering about.
Near Johanna, who was pitching a tent, I saw that Mr. Ekenhart was trying to pick up a large rock…while his face looked very red.
It seemed like it would be better if he just rolled it. It wasn’t buried in the ground, and was rather rounded.
Phillip was nearby, and Nicholas had been ordered by Sebastian to place some long, round branches on the grounds. So they were probably just waiting for Mr. Ekenhart to give up.
I just hoped that he wouldn’t hurt his back…
“Now, since we are finished with that delicious meal, it is time to talk about who will keep watch…”
After eating Ms. Lyra’s cooking, we sat around the fire and discussed who would stay up tonight.
There was one fire for Mr. Ekenhart and us, and another fire for the servants and guards.
As there were so many people this time, one bonfire was not enough.
Thankfully, we had gathered a lot of branches.
“Since there are many people this time, His Grace, Lady Claire, and Lady Anne can rest without worry.”
