Chapter 29 - Flora

I covered my face for the umpteenth time and let out a shaky breath. The intimate moment I shared with Lord Blade played in my mind like a loop. In the whole chaos of my emotions, I worked upon my instincts and placed a small kiss on his lips.

And then the kiss we shared was...simply enchanting! But it was what my uncle did which caused me to freeze under Lord Blade's touch. I could only wonder how disappointed he must've been...

My little reverie was cut short when a knock sounded on my bedroom door. Getting out of bed, I fixed my dress before walking toward the door and opening it. Grace stood there with her head lowered a little. "It's time for midday meal, Miss. Harper" she said.

I nodded and followed her down to the dining room. Lord Blade and Caspian were already present but I also saw two unfamiliar people. As soon as the warlock took notice of me, he gestured for me to sit beside him and so I did. I walked up to him and sat beside him and carefully glanced at the strangers.
