“Wait for me a minute.”

Cassian let go of her hand and disappeared down the hall

Elowen sat there with burning cheeks, one hand pressed to her face, her thoughts spinning

By nightfall, light glowed across the manor while darkness gathered outside.

At dinner, Cassian came to fetch her from the study and led her toward the dining hall. The scent hit Elowen the moment they crossed the threshold, and her mouth watered

The round table was covered with dishes, all of them steaming and rich with fragrance Warren stood off to one side. He bowed and welcomed them with proper courtesy.

Clowen smiled as she looked over the spread. “That’s a lot of food.”

Cassian helped her into her seat, then sat beside her “What do you want to try first?

Warren gestured toward the table. “This is roasted venison And here-venison with mushrooms and herbs. His Grace made that himself. The venison stew with root vegetables is mine, though only because His Grace insisted Your Grace should have something especially nourishing.”

Elowen turned to Cassian, her eyes bright with affection “I want to try everything you made.”

Cassian looked openly pleased, almost boyish in his pride. He carved a delicate slice and placed it onto her plate while it was still

hot.

The venison had been sliced thin, rosy in the center, mixed with tender mushrooms and fragrant herbs. Elowen took a careful bite. The flavor was far better than she’d expected-rich, tender, and perfectly cooked, without the slightest hint of gaminess. She swallowed and said happily, “This is wonderful. If you opened an inn, every cook in the city would lose their job.”

The praise was a little exaggerated, but she meant every word.

Cassian looked as if he might start grinning outright.

Narren was stunned. No wonder His Grace likes her so much. She really knows how to charm a man. Maybe I should try that with my wife.

Elowen turned to Warren. “What are your plans now? Will you stay with the regiment? Have you gotten your family settled?”

He straightened at once. “I haven’t thought that far yet. I plan to bring my wife and daughter, Elara, to the city.”

At that name, Elowen paused.

Elara had once been fixated on Cassian and had caused trouble more than once.

I wonder how she’s doing now?

Warren sighed. “But things are awkward for me now. I feel guilty. I’m not even sure whether I should write to my wife yet.”

Elowen gave him a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. This trouble won’t last much longer.”

Warren blinked, “How can you be so sure, Your Grace?”

A flicker of uncertainty crossed Elowen’s face.

In her last life, Nordia had sent envoys right around Christmas’s and made peace with Avenlor. That could still happen. Or maybe not. This life had already changed too much. Cassian had awakened early Warren had returned ahead of schedule. Maybe the Nordian envoys wouldn’t come at all.

Or maybe they’d come angry.

Before the silence could stretch, Cassian scooped her a bowl of soup. “Try the stew.”

“Thank you, Your Grace.” Elowen smiled and tasted it, savoring the flavor. Then she looked back at Warren. “This is delicious. Really. Mrs. Wrenner is lucky to have you.”

Warren grinned and thumped his chest. “Thank you, Your Grace Honestly, His Grace is lucky too!”

Cassian raised a brow, amused.
