Capítulo 10: Chapter 10 - Distance

Xavier was getting impatient waiting for me. I had avoided him for the rest of the day after we attended the assembly with the elders. He was aware that I went to attend the tea party later at the Wentworth palace.

I returned to the palace later than expected. However, I went to my personal bed-chamber shortly.

I did not go to sleep with him either. He had heard from Esty that I had hurt my fingers at the tea party. Though Xavier was notified that Lady Evelyn had taken decent care of me, he couldn't help getting concerned.

He waited a bit longer for me to greet him. However, I informed Lydia that I would not join him in his bed-chamber for that night.

Then Lydia went and informed him that I would like to rest in my bed-chamber. I was aware that Xavier was not accustomed to such rebellious behavior. And after listening to my pledge, he would not take it lightly.
