I sat there, hugging my knees, staring at the empty space where Kaelen had been just while ago.
Tsk. How can he just leave me alone late at night at an abandoned watchtower?
System? I called out in my mind.
The blue screen flickered to life with a lazy hum.
[ Yeah? ]
Hey, tell me. You know everything in advance, right? Then just tell me... is Lucian in love with someone else? Wait, no—what was Kael actually referring to just now?
The text scrolled slowly, almost mocking me.
[ Well, I do not know. Find it yourself. ]
[ ...If your husband is cheating on you or not. ]
My eye twitched.
Tsk. You are useless.
I mentally shoved the screen away, swiping it into oblivion.
"My Lady."
The voice was low, deep, and directly behind my ear.
"Heavens!!"
I jumped, nearly falling off the stone ledge. I spun around, clutching my chest.
"Kael! Stop scaring me like that! You always appear out of nowhere without making any noise!"
