Since Fade of Bridle's return, the castle no longer tormented them. Yet Halo and Seraph found no rest. With Liam still unconscious and safely placed in his room, they focused on questioning Mill about what he'd done.
Halo had anticipated changes now that Fade of Bridle occupied the castle once more. If castles truly showed their genuine nature to their masters, shouldn't there be beauty?
But all that had shifted was the departure of that oppressive gloom. Maybe the threat had simply evaporated when they ceased being seen as hostile.
"When I was first brought to this world, my second Purpose was to guard the Mirror Steppe land. I was seventeen back then, and it's been almost 65 to 70 years now."
Halo frowned. Mill looked old, but he didn't expect him to be that old. His carefree style and mostly optimistic nature showed he understood this world more than most, but pushing ninety? Nothing about him seemed that old.
