Damian arrived at the cottage in the late lunch afternoon.
"Where's the Duchess?" asked Damian from the butler, who greeted him with a humble bow.
"Her Grace is upstairs," the butler replied.
Damian moved to the staircase and went upstairs only to find Eilika standing near the window. He cleared his throat, making her turn around.
"Damian," she humbly bowed to him.
"You were in such a deep contemplative state," Damian remarked. He removed his cloak and let it set on the chair before taking a seat on the upholstered chair. She was quick to pour a glass of water of him while Damian glanced at the sketch which Eilika had prepared.
"You completed the sketch," Damian said.
"Yes. Do you recognize the man in the sketch?" Eilika asked.
"I do," Damian replied, taking the glass from her. "It is Garrett, Xavier's son."
