บท 252: 252. Wasn't Helping

The last meal was pretty quiet, well not exactly. Danag was the only one who was usually quiet. Mauve would occasionally glance in his direction but he completely avoided her gaze. 

She wondered if something happened after she left or if he was just tired from the trip back. She made a mental note to thank him whenever she got the chance.

Lord Garth, on the other hand, did a lot of speaking, he seemed particularly excited. He completely outspoke Erick who also seemed a little quiet but with the way Lord Garth kept speaking, Mauve was certain anyone would have a hard time chipping in.

He commented on the meal and commended the chef, Mister Herbert. He also talked about other Lords, she could only recognize one name.

"Sire," he said suddenly.

Mauve jerked her head in response, she immediately brought her gaze down when her eyes met with Lord Garth. She dug harder into her food, wanting to forget the look she had seen in his eyes.
