Chapter X

LUCIFER WAS LAUGHING LOUDLY, RECITING to Vera how Cecelia had killed the boar. Cecelia herself could only smile and shake her head at the animated tale that was the center of everyone’s attention.

“And then Uncle Drake showed him how to use the bow and arrow. And Brian shot it right in the forehead.”

“My, my, how marvelous it is, is it not, Brian?” Vera asked Cecelia.

She said, “I couldn’t have done it without His Highness.” Heat rushed to her face as she remembered his warm breath against her ear and his hard body against her as he guided her hand about the bow and arrow.

“Aye, that was a very good shot indeed, Brian,” Adam said. “I’ve never seen one like it with a human before.”

“Indeed,” Drake said. “Perhaps you’ve had practice with the bow and arrow before?”

“I have, sire,” Cecelia said. “When I was much younger. My father taught me.”

“A scholar taught his daughter how to shoot?” Drake chuckled. “How fascinating. Come, tell us more, Brian, about yourself and your vast knowledge of plants. Surely, you must have encountered many during your adventure across a number of kingdoms. Perhaps your father taught you with swords as well?”

“I haven’t yet had the pleasure of visiting that many kingdoms, sire,” she said honestly but haughtily. “So I have nothing much to tell you. And yes, my father did teach me with the sword.”

Drake raised an eyebrow at her.

Gerick laughed. “Well done, Brian. Well done. Shall we have a duel? I’m eager to test your swordsmanship.”

“A small thing like you can use a sword?” Adam asked, incredulous.

“I can use the sword, Papa,” Lucifer said, pulling at his father’s sleeve.

“Aye, love, a wooden sword,” Adam replied.

Vera cleared her throat then and said, “Come, we should retire to the drawing room so Robert can summon his team to clean up our mess.” She stood, eyeing the butler who was hovering to one side of the dining room. “I see he is impatient to get started.”

Robert nodded his gray head politely with a slight smile. Cecelia sighed in relief, and as everyone stood, she hastily got out of her chair as well and headed to the door beside Vera and Lucifer. The boy was skipping and humming when he suddenly stopped and asked his mother, “Do I get to have port?”

“Nay, you may not. You will have chocolate,” Vera replied firmly, in which case, Lucifer proceeded to practice his scowl once again.

In the corridor, after all the men had entered the drawing room, Cecelia stopped and turned to look at the end to the door that would lead her around the corner to the library on the other side of the building.

“Is something the matter?” Vera asked.

“I was just wondering if you would excuse me. I need fresh air.”

“Why, of course,” Vera said. “Go along, then. The air is especially cool at this time of night.”

Cecelia nodded with appreciation, and Vera and Lucifer walked into the drawing room. Alone, Cecelia turned and headed toward her intended destination.
