After a delicious dinner of roasted hens and carrots, stew, and thick bread, Lilae and the others retreated to their rooms.

She lingered before the door that led into the room that she would be sharing with her sisters and Nani, and glanced at Liam and Rowe’s door.

She’d miss him, and his warmth. They’d shared a space together since leaving Nostfar behind. But, in Auroria, it was frowned upon and forbidden for unmarried men and women to share a room, especially when that room was owned by traditional innkeepers.

Risa wrapped an arm around her shoulders and leaned in close to her ear.

“Is my little sister missing the heat of her man?”

Mortified, Lilae’s cheeks burned and she closed here eyes.

“Its not like that, Risa,” she said, covering her face with her hands.

Risa chuckled. “Of course, it isn’t. I’m just teasing.”

Jaiza stepped into the room and turned on them both. “Because if he tried anything—”

“—inappropriate,” Risa added.

“We’d have to chop off his manly bits,” Jaiza finished, a tilt of her head and a wicked smirk on her face.

Lilae’s eyes widened, and she pushed Risa into the room and closed the door behind them.

“That is awful!”

Risa and Jaiza laughed at her, and claimed their cots.

“We’re just teasing,” Jaiza said. “He seems like a nice lad.”

Lilae took off her boots and socks and settled before the fire on a blanket. “He’s more than just a lad.”

“Oh, yes,” Risa said. “He’s a crown prince.”

“Doesn’t mean shite,” Jaiza said.

Lilae glanced at her. “It means he has honor.”

Risa snorted, and burst out laughing again. “Honor? Has he honorably slid his fingers into your pants yet? You two have been sleeping together for quite some time now.”

“Dear Spirits,” Lilae said, under her breath.

Just imagining Liam doing so made her ears burn. Only Kavien had even begun to explore her body, and that still left her aching for more.

“No. He hasn’t,” she said, staring at the flickering flames.

“Something’s wrong with him then,” Risa said.

Lilae shot her a glare. “I told you, he has honor.”

“Honor my arse,” Risa said, and she and Jaiza shared a look. “Thought there was love and such between you two.”

Thoroughly embarrassed, Lilae stood, prepared to flee.

“Sit down, Lilae,” Jaiza said. “No need to run away anytime we speak about your relationship to the Tryan. We’re only joking with you. It is what we’re supposed to do.”

“As your older sisters,” Risa added. “Better get used to it.”

The door opened, and Nani flew in. Her cheeks were pale, and she shivered.

She settled onto the blanket beside Lilae, and folded her legs before her.

“This place is awful,” Nani said, warming her hands. “All snow and darkness. Where are the flowers? Where are the birds?”

Lilae smiled, happy for the shift in conversation.

“We do have spring time,” Lilae said. “You’d like it then.”

“And, plenty of birds,” Jaiza said.

“Even if it only seems crows and ravens dominate the forests,” Risa added.

“I saw a blue bird, once,” Jaiza said.

Nani met Lilae’s gaze. “One blue bird,” she repeated. “Just brilliant.”

“You don’t have winters in Kyril,” Lilae said.
