'Reya and Clio. Maybe Yula must have told them to...?'
Just then, her servants entered her chamber with huge grins on their faces.
"Good morning, Miss," both greeted her who were looking at them, only for her to ask them something but...
"Miss, what is that in your hand?" Clio asked.
"I saw it last evening when we brought tea for you but forgot to ask," Reya added.
'So not these two,' Ember concluded. "Did Yula visit my chamber this morning?"
"Miss, that is impossible. Dame Yula returned to her home last night after finishing her work and she is on leave for a few days," Clio answered promptly.
"Leave?"
"Dame Yula's daughter would be returning home, so she took a leave to spend time together as a family."
"Dame Yula really loves her daughter."
'So it was not Yula,' Ember concluded again. 'Then there is no other culprit. It had to be him. Did he... Did he really?'
Her face felt very, very hot.
"Miss, what happened?" Clio asked, noticing her red face.
"N-Nothing," Ember replied as she put the lid back properly on that container and set it aside.
She could not come up to imagine what had happened to her just now.
'Him...last night...No way!' she screamed inside.
"Miss, we will prepare a bath for you."
The two servants didn't know what was wrong with their master but felt it was fine to leave her on her own. Both thought it must be something about her master spending a night with her mate and she didn't want to talk about it.
'Just as I thought we would be fine, once again I can't face him. Why...Why did he have to do it?...Ahh...' Ember felt like pulling her hair out.
"Miss, bath is ready," Reya informed.
Ember walked inside her bath and sat in the water after removing her clothes. Calming herself down in warm water, she thought about it once again.
"It's fine. As he did it when I was sleeping, then I will act as if I don't know."
After bath and her servants helped her get ready, they prepared a nice meal for her which she ate once again like a hungry ghost.
She was inside her room for two days now and wanted to go out. As they walked along the corridors of the ground floor to go out towards the garden, Ember asked, "Now the bond is complete, can I not go outside of the palace? Visit other cities?"
"Miss, you can but we have to get His Majesty's permission," Reya informed.
"Or who knows His Majesty would like to personally take you out with him?" Clio teased.
"That is also possible. Males like to take their females out and make them feel happy," Reya added, "Sometimes I wish if we were beasts as well."
"I will ask grandmother to get a spouse for you so you can go out as well," Clio commented.
"Really? Please do so..."
When the two were talking, Ember was busy wondering if Draven would take her out and show her other cities. Immersed in her thoughts, she forgot that they were walking in the corridor which would lead her towards the King's study. She simply followed behind her chatterbox servants.
Ember was still calm while Isa looked at Draven, "Your Majesty, shall we?"
Draven looked at her and nodded.
"Draven," Ember called, which made him look back at her. He was sure she had something to say. His name rolled out of her tongue so swiftly and he liked it.
Isa was taken aback that Ember called him by his name. No one...no one dared call him by his name except for a few of his close acquaintances and they called him by his name only in private and not in front of others.
"Once you are back, let me know. I have something to tell you," Ember explained.
"I will."
Ember was ready to let him go as she knew that Isa's brother was Draven's dear friend and she didn't want to hold him back from visiting him.
She heard Isa again, "We have to teleport there," and held onto Draven's arm with her hands.
Ember frowned inwardly seeing her hands holding his arm and Draven said nothing. To teleport with him, Isa had to hold his hand but Ember could not help but feel angry at it.
"I will be back soon," Draven informed.
Ember nodded and saw them disappearing in front of her.
'Seems like that little fox wants two of her paws burned.' Ember's eyes looked vicious with a hint of grave danger like her true self was showing up.
