As soon as the servants left, Marius rematerialized himself. He had stifled his laughter for as long as he could. He burst out in laughter, clutching his stomach as it had begun to hurt from the laughter.
Margaret furrowed her eyebrows, as she gripped her pen tightly.
"Is it really that funny?" she asked sarcastically.
"It… it was too funny," Marius said in between gasps of air and laughter, "You should have seen the look on their faces when they walked in."
When he realized Margaret had not joined in the laughter, Marius quickly simmered down. He placed his hands on her shoulders and leaned in close. He tilted his head to look at her, realizing she was attempting to stifle a smile.
He gently poked her on the cheek as he whispered, "Come on, Lady Margaret, you can't deny that was pretty funny."
Bonus points to those who remember when was Laina's cousin first mentioned! (It took me a while to find it too XD)
I noticed the summoning pens you lovely readers have left for me! My schedule is a little tight at the moment, but when I am able to, I will fulfill your call for more chapters!
Thank you so much for the love and support each and every one of you has shown the novel so far. I really appreciate it and I know I sound like a broken record at this point but it really means a lot to me!
<King? Knight? Lord? They are all my husbands!> is out now!
