Belle and Rohan toured the manor, and Belle was finally able to see every part of their new house. It had seven bed chambers and two libraries, and after they toured the manor, Rohan left her after saying he needed to speak with Rav.
By the time he came back, she had bathed, and unable to hold herself back from the exhaustion that still lingered in her bones, Belle fell asleep on the bed. Perhaps her body had not gotten all the rest she needed, and when Rohan returned to find her sleeping soundly, he did not disturb her and let her be while he went to look out the closed glass window to see the outside, where snow had covered most part of the ground and coaches were passing on the streets, carrying people.
He stood there for a long time, lost in thoughts with a suspended glass of blood wine Rav had given him in hand. His thoughts were mostly about how to keep his wife safe in this land without her getting entangled in any of the battle for the throne.
