The Blind King
“Ryshel was not in his arms, and her warmth was nowhere to be found. How many days has it been? Is she safe? Though he was constantly surrounded by servants and advisors, he could not shake the feeling of loneliness his wife’s absence had created. Since their marriage, they had never been apart for more than a few hours. He trusted her advice above all others, and he yearned to have her at his side once more.
As he rose from his bed, servants immediately flocked to his side. A bowl of water was ...held in front of him, allowing him to wash his face. His clothes had been laid out hours ago, and the servants eagerly dressed him for his morning council meeting. But Efren had no desire to meet with his councilors.
