Kapitel 139: MEDDLERS

[Music Recommendation: Young and Beautiful ~ Lana Del Rey]

Minutes passed with Oriana and Adric holding each other closely. When the room became cold, Oriana sat up on the bed. She craned her neck to see that the wood in the fireplace was almost burning out. She raised her dress, putting on her sleeves. She made sure Adric was well tucked in bed and looked at him one more time.

"I'll be back. Let me get more wood," Oriana whispered, as if he could hear her. Then she stepped down from the bed, slipped her feet into her shoes, and quietly left the room. She was going to lock the room from the outside but thought against it since she wouldn't take much time. She closed the door gently and left the passage.

She went straight to the kitchen and found wood that was already cut into smaller logs. She packed as much as her small hands could grab, using her chest to balance it so it wouldn't fall off. Some maids rushed over to help her.
