Capítulo 39: Fountain

Madeline walked next to Lady Sophie. They walked in the garden with the sun shining bright above them. The ladies were accompanied by two servant girls who held an umbrella each for them. 

"It seems like brother Calhoun has taken a liking towards you," commented the young vampiress, her head held high as she walked playing with the long beaded necklace in her hand, twisting them between her fingers.

"I wouldn't say that," Madeline denied, hoping they could get into another subject instead of speaking about Calhoun, "The weather is warm even though Winter has arrived."

"Indeed but then the snow is yet to arrive. You know brother Calhoun hates the poor," chuckled Sophie, bringing the King back in the conversation, "He won't spare a look at the one who is weak and poor. Not even let him touch. I mean no offence but it is surprising that he's talking to you," she smiled looking at Madeline and Madeline returned the smile back.
