Bryce protested loudly, “It was just an accident last night! Actually, I’m quite brave. It won’t happen again even if I’m scared.”

Jayden responded with a smile, “Since you’re so brave, you can sleep alone tonight. I hope not to hear from the servants that you’ve wet the bed tomorrow.”

Determined not to be looked down upon, especially by Jayden, Bryce clenched his teeth. With a burst of excitement, he declared, “I can sleep alone. I don’t need anyone with me.”
