Chapter 13

When Amenea returned to her room she worried that questions would be asked! Had anyone noticed her missing in the early hours, did anyone see her leave her chambers? Did anyone see her leave Custennain’s? As she fretted and quietly worried, she busied herself when she returned to her chambers by redressing her hair and robing her body with a fresh robe.

Although the air was fresh this morning, she felt warm. She briefly thought of Custennain and how she had laid in his bed, naked. Again, she felt warmth through her cheeks as she nibbled gently the corner of her lip whilst she thought. Slipping on some emerald, green, satin slippers she finished her attire and left her chambers. As she hurried quietly along the long corridor, she realised how quiet the Chateau seemed.

At that moment she opened the door to the dining area where Amenea knew her family would be breakfasting only to be taken in by what she saw.

The large, room with its tall ceilings and ceiling embedded crystal, chandelier that normally appeared vast to Amenea when she was normally eating her breakfast here – seemed to be almost unnoticeable this morning. The room was full of people sitting and eating breakfast. As Amenea tried to gently advance towards her sisters, Amenea realised that most of these people she didn’t know, however her mother did and with the kind smile her mother was displaying and her familiar gestures that she was displaying towards the people. Amenea felt a little more reassured that she had nothing to worry about.

Now, half way into the room herself and trying to move quietly, quickly and as invisibly as she could Amenea was suddenly stopped in her tracks by a moving chair that had been abruptly pushed out into her pathway by a young man. The chair now stood in front of Amenea and the tall, dark haired man that pushed it out, as quickly jumped up to be behind it. He was now staring straight at Amenea and a small smile was starting to glisten on his ruby, red lips.

His eyes were piercing blue in colour and he looked straight at Amenea. Their allure was mesmerising, and they stunned Amenea as much as the action of the chair did.

“Would you be so kind?” he said.

Feeling entirely embarrassed and confused by what she was experiencing, Amenea was grateful when her mother quickly came to her side.

“This is Prince Darhl.” said Amenea’s mother. “He and his family are joining us for breakfast today. We thought it would be a nice idea for you all to meet before the Carving of the light ceremony, next week.” her mother said. Not really having any idea about what her mother was talking about, Amenea started to lift her robes to sit and as she did Prince Daryl, moved the chair swiftly back to the side of the table next to his own place. He stood and waited for Amenea to position herself accordingly before he gently eased the chair in, towards the table with Amenea now sitting upon it.
