บท 303: Request For An Audience

Selma Payne's POV:

It was almost sunset when we left the bedroom.

My belated hunger clamored that I needed a lot of food to fill my rumbling stomach, but my room was quiet. There was no one other than Aldrich and me, so I had to find food myself.

When I turned the corridor corner, Kara was chatting with a few servants in the hall. When she saw me, she put down the accounts she was half-checking and motioned for the servants to go to the kitchen to get me some food.

"Happy marriage, Your Highness." Kara bowed to me. "The first three days of the wedding is a holiday for the new couple. You and Sir Aldrich don't have to do anything during this period. We will handle everything for you."

I thought Kara, who had always been strict, would blame me for my daily routine. I didn't expect her to smile, which made me mentally prepare for a long time in vain.
