chapter 2

After talking to Luke, I didn't fall asleep again and was laying on the bed I was thinking about the novel and how far it has gone ,so according to the novel this must be the scene where the villain got assassinated on the way back to the capital . I must be careful even though Asher didn't lose his life but was injured , just thinking about it , made me feel the pain . I must avoid it but now thinking about it who was the person behind it , it didn't reveal till the end , Asher was in deep thought when he heard a growl . It was coming from his stomach , with a deep sign ,' firstly let's eat something and think about it later' after that he headed downstairs to eat breakfast. When he reached there and was looking for a waiter ,he saw Luke walking towards him . Luke,"young master, your breakfast is ready, please let me guide you". so, I kept a calm face and nodded, I walk towards a table where Luke has pointed . i sat down and look at the table ,it was fill with European style breakfast, it look delicious as I thought to myself and start to eat then I saw Luke standing behind me . So I asked," Are you going to eat?". I don't know why but Luke look a bit frustrated as I begin to think the reason then I suddenly remembered that noble and civil doesn't eat together and as I thought he (Luke) must be angry as I don't let him eat and making fun of him ,so,I said,"go and eat breakfast". I must let my guards eat something so during the assassin attack they don't slow down as I was being proud of myself for thinking it ,Luke answered,"young master,we have already eaten" . I paused and was able to feel shame and anger,'if you had then tell it faster , luckily I only thought it if not then I will not need to wait for the assassin '. I hum a sound to let him(Luke) know I heard that.

As Asher was eating breakfast, something was happening in the capital.
