Elowen gestured toward the cup placed beside Aveline.

“This was sent to me by His Majesty after my last visit to the palace,” she said. “It’s a warm spiced wine. Please enjoy it while you wait. I’ll return shortly.”

Aveline agreed immediately. “Of course. Please go ahead, Duchess.”

Elowen returned to the dining hall and told Cassian everything, explaining why Aveline had come and recounting their conversation word for word.

Cassian listened patiently.

When she finished speaking, he suddenly said something that seemed unrelated. “That is not right.”

Elowen blinked and turned toward him. “What is not right?”

Cassian answered calmly, “You said you are not the kind of person people cannot forget. That part is incorrect.”

One corner of his mouth lifted slightly. “Anyone who meets you tends to remember you for a very long time. It does not matter whether they are men or women.”

He met her gaze. “I am one of them.”

Elowen froze for a moment.

His serious praise made warmth rise quickly to her cheeks. She pressed her lips together and unconsciously leaned closer to him.

“Then if I go visit Kaelan later,” she asked softly, “you will not be upset, will you?”

“No,” Cassian replied without hesitation. “There is no reason for me to be upset.”

“That is good.”

Elowen’s eyes curved into a smile as she sat upright again and picked up her spoon. “Do not worry. I will simply check on his condition and persuade him to focus on recovering. Once that is done, I will come back right away.”

Cassian cut a small piece of roast and set it on her plate.

“Alright,” he said calmly. “I will be here waiting for you.”

Before leaving, Elowen thought for a moment and changed direction, walking toward the courtyard next door where Hugh was temporarily staying.

Hugh was sorting medicinal herbs in the courtyard.

“Doctor Dray,” Elowen said after choosing her words carefully, “a friend of mine has fallen ill. I plan to visit him, but I am a little worried.”

Hugh lifted his head. “His Grace agreed to this?”

Elowen tilted her head slightly. “Why would he refuse something so minor?”

Hugh shrugged. “Jealous men can be very narrow-minded.”

Elowen immediately defended Cassian. “His Grace is not like that.”

Hugh did not argue. “If you say so.”

He set down the herbs, stood up, and picked up his medical case. “Let us go.”

Elowen smiled brightly. “Thank you, Doctor Dray.”

When Aveline saw the young man following behind Elowen with a medical case in hand, hesitation briefly crossed her face.

Elowen explained with a friendly smile.

“This is Doctor Dray. He is currently a guest at Duskmoor Manor. I am sure the physicians in your household are already very capable, but Doctor Dray was personally invited by His Grace to treat difficult illnesses. His methods are quite remarkable. If he examines Kaelan as well, we may have a better chance.”

Aveline nodded. “If he is someone valued by His Grace, his skill must be exceptional. Thank you for coming with us, Doctor Dray.”

Not long afterward, their carriage arrived at Aveline’s residence. Kaelan’s father had married into the family, so the entire estate was managed directly by Aveline.

She personally led Elowen and Hugh through several courtyards toward Kaelan’s residence.

The entrance gate was carved from fine hardwood and decorated with intricate reliefs of scholars achieving success and ascending toward glory.

A winding path paved with polished stones led to the main building, a graceful two story pavilion with elegant eaves and deep green roof tiles.

Above the entrance hung a dark wooden plaque with gilded letters that read Hall of Diligence.

Elowen could not help studying it for a moment.

The courtyard held even more attendants than Stillwater Court at Duskmoor Manor. The servants wore matching dark blue garments and moved quietly with lowered gazes.

When they communicated, they did so with soft whispers or subtle gestures.

The entire courtyard felt so quiet that the only sound came from the wind moving through the bamboo leaves.

The atmosphere felt heavy, almost oppressive. Inside the chamber, scrolls celebrating scholarly success hung everywhere. Even the painting beside the bed depicted a revered teacher guiding his students.

Kaelan had only just regained consciousness.
