Bab 253: Help

"From now on, I will be your personal maid. Please let me know what you need." Mara said while bowing her head towards Ava. "I can also answer any question that you have about this kingdom."

"Thank you," Ava said. "Queen Luna and King Lycan are mates, right?" Ava asked.

"Yes."

Ava plumped down on the bed. A squeaking sound interrupted the silence in the room. She stared at the ceiling as she thought about the meeting that she just had with the King and Queen. She had read about mates before. The attraction between the two isn't there. For some reason, she could only feel the emotions coming from the Queen but not from the King. Was it because of Ulva? Did she use magick to create a shield around the King?

She felt Mara approach her.

"Here is the tea that you want," Mara said.

Ava jolted up. She stared at the tea from Mara's hand. It was a code. Underneath the teacup should be a message.

"Thank you."
