A Surprise?

"I assume you are mentally prepared now. You must be after asking for a month's time," Rowena said as she looked at Asher, both of them sitting in the study hall.

Asher lightly smiled and said, "Of course. I am all set to go. I have been looking forward to this."

Ceti was standing right outside the room, though her expression wasn't looking good at all. How could she feel alright when her mother was standing right beside her, waiting on Asher to go with him?

Who would have thought he would be bringing her along with him to go to the Tower of Hell? She was a maid of the castle and didn't have any obligations outside of this castle.

Yet, to her surprise and confusion, her mother insisted on going with Asher, which only made her feel even more worried, wondering what that pervert did to make her act like this.
