Chapter 304: Long night (1)
Isaac arrived at the Blackthorn estate, surprised to see that it was still standing. When he heard of Darius leading the palace guards around the town, Isaac first thought the king would head to the Blackthorn estate, so he came here to aid Xavier.
More importantly, Isaac came to see if Agnes was well. In the short time they spent together, Isaac knew that Agnes would give her life to protect Selene if there was danger.
He did not want that to happen.
"Lord Blackthorn is on his way down," Harold informed Isaac.
"Thank you. As for Lady Blackthorn’s maid Agnes," Isaac said, wanting to see her now.
"Agnes is searching for her lady, so she is not yet off work. If you wish to speak with her, you would need to seek permission from Lord or Lady Blackthorn, so Agnes does not get in trouble. Do not distract her while she works," said Harold.
Isaac felt like Harold was acting like a father trying to send away an admirer of his daughter. Agnes never mentioned being close to Harold, but it seemed the two were quite close. Unless Harold was like this with all the maids.
"I won’t distract her," Isaac promised.
Harold didn’t believe that Isaac wouldn’t be a distraction for Agnes. He respected Isaac since he was a man Xavier could trust, but he disliked that Isaac came at a time when Agnes was better at her work.
