章 141: Terms- Part 3

When the next morning arrived, as Madeline had requested from Calhoun, both of them sat at the opposite ends of the long table. The servants who had come to serve, couldn't help but have a questioning look at the change in the seatings because all these days, the lady had been sitting right next to the King. 

It was Madeline who had asked it, but since the maids kept moving back and forth from one end of the table to another, she couldn't help but feel awkward about it. She had thought that she would feel better, where she wouldn't have to look too closely at him or where he could touch her, but she had made it difficult for the servants. Not to forget, Calhoun was still visible to her as he sat in front of her, enjoying his meal. 

"Good morning, my King," she heard Theodore's voice from the door, who stepped in to talk. When his eyes fell on Calhoun with the lady not around, he turned to only find her sitting on the other side.
