บท 255: Moments of joy (part 1)

Roxana woke up before her sister in the morning. They were still in a room in Lord Amore's house. She covered her sister and decided to let her sleep some more while she got up to prepare for the day. The king's ball was this evening but now that her sister returned, she didn't know what to do. She had so much else to take care of as well and a part of her just wanted to stay at home and spend some time with her sister. 

She went to see if the chamber had a private room and freshened up before going to find the men. In the parlor, Alexander and Vitale sat drinking tea or coffee. 

"Good morning," she greeted as she went to sit down with them. 

"How is your sister?" Alexander asked. 

"I am not sure. I told her about father. She was devastated."

"How are you?" he asked. 

She shrugged. "I don't know." 

He reached for her, cupping her cheek gently. "It will be alright. We will take of your sister and I will take care of you."
