My Patrons were confused by my sudden announcement, but I offered no explanations as I made my way toward Rune's room. Their murmurs and curious glances followed me, yet I remained undeterred, focused solely on reaching my brother.
The moment I stepped into the dimly lit corridor leading to his chambers, I cast an invisibility spell, ensuring that no prying eyes would witness my movements. Rune's room was situated right beside Eric's but it was still a couple of feet away.
Upon reaching his door, I knocked twice, but there was no response. A frown tugged at my lips. Rune wasn't the type to ignore someone knocking—especially not me.
Cautiously, I turned the handle and slipped inside, closing the door behind me. The silence was heavy, but as I stretched my senses, I confirmed that no one else was inside. Only Rune's presence lingered in the room. That meant he was safe—yet, for some reason, he hadn't answered.
