After a very long day, Viktor was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to lie down on his bed and fall asleep immediately. He yawned for the tenth time as he made his way to his chamber, when he suddenly ran into Kathryn, who was also just returning from an outing. He tried to walk past her, but she stepped into his path, blocking the way. He shifted direction, but she mirrored him again.
He sighed, clearly drained. "What is it this time, Kathryn? I really don't have the time or energy to entertain you this evening," he said in a tired voice.
Kathryn cleared her throat. "I have something important to speak to you about."
Viktor raised a brow. "Speak with me? Since when did we ever discuss anything important? Are you sure you're not mistaking me for the prince?"
Kathryn frowned, then forced a tight smile. "No, I'm not. It's you I wish to speak with."
He crossed his arms over his chest, studying her curiously. "What is it you wish to discuss?"
