"WHAT?" Heather yelled loudly when I finished telling her my story.
She had co to dress up for the morning assembly when I told her everything that had transpired between and Reagan last night. Heather looked pale as a ghost, with her mouth hung open as her hands froze midair from where she was helping with my hair.
"So what's going to happen now? Do you tell him or what?"
"Of course I can't tell him!" I said shutting down the idea imdiately, "Reagan wouldn't hesitate to hand over to my father."
Heather heaved out a sigh, "What do we do now? I an you couldn't even tell him about his uncle?"
Yeah, about that... "I didn't." I said startling Heather, "And I do not think I'll be telling Reagan about that." I confessed
"WHAT?" Heather yelled loudly again, the sound going to my ears. I shot her a glare to which she quickly apologized at, "But why didn't you tell him?"
"Because things got so escalated quickly I do not even know where to start from," I rushed out, "From him finding out I wasn't in the room, to him almost finding out my secret and to him...." I trailed off rembering the way he had almost compared to my father. It's already getting close to a month that we've spent with each other and yet, he thinks I was just as selfish as my father.
Shaking my head, I pushed the thoughts away. "I just don't think I'll be telling him anything." I confessed.
"So what's going to happen? Lord Skarde goes free? Continues to terrorize people?" Heather asked and I could hear the disappointnt in her tone.
Heaving out a sigh, I raised my eyes up to et Heather's in the mirror. "I didn't say it, I guess I will just be handling things my own way." I told her, watching as her face crumpled with relief, "It might just be a little slow is all." I mumbled under my breath.
Heather didn't seem to mind that, she patted on my shoulders. "It doesn't matter as long as you are doing what you can." She said resuming to plait my hair while intertwining it with beautiful string pearls. "I'll go ask around about the family you said you saw and get in contact with them." She inford .
I nodded my head at her in appreciation. "Thank you very much."
"Sure, whatever you need, I'm here for it." Heather said shooting a warm smile which I returned. "Let's just try and get through today and we will figure out the next step from here." Heather said and begin pinning the braid she twisted upon my hair.
When she was done, she adjusted my makeup and then stood aside for . She smiled at my work and then deed ready to go. I offered a small smile and then decided to head to the assembly before Marina decided she has had enough of waiting and sends a guard to co and get .

There was nothing much to be said in the assembly. Everyone ca by and discussed everything that was going on and even though I found most of it boring but there were lot of progress that were made. Miguel was surprisingly handling issues of the western provinces well and according to him they were beginning to welco the idea he had of giving the king so more ti.
I sat down and listened silently observing. But throughout the entire mont, I could feel Reagan's eyes on mine. He stared at and when I didn't return his gaze, he would look away from . Only for a brief mont though, it was back not quite long.
I knew it was driving him insane with the way I wasn't looking at him and even though I could feel the heat creeping up my neck, I kept my posture composed as if it didn't bother and I was using all my will power not to squirm under the intensity of his gaze.
Just as a man was living after giving reports, Reagan turned to look at just then at that mont. "Dahlia can we talk?"
"What about?" I asked without looking at him and I kept a smile on my face so as to not cause any suspicion.
Reagan heaved out a sigh, "You know what? You kicked out of your room and_"
Whatever Reagan was about to say seed to be interrupted because the doors suddenly swung open and Celeste entered. I frowned just as Reagan sat up straight in his seat. Everyone turned their gaze to the new guest who had interrupted the assembly.
Celeste strolled in with a look of defiance on her face. She was clad in a red gown that hugged her figures and her shiny blonde hair tumbled down in waves as she walked, heading straight for where Reagan and I sat.
"My lord we need to talk!" Celeste stated, not even bothering to spare a glance.
I looked around wondering why no one was trying to object to her disrupting of the assembly but no one seed to care. If anything they all watched with curiosity as to what's going to happen.
"We can discuss soti later Celeste, not now!" Reagan said firmly with an air of authority.
Celeste snorted, "Yeah except there isn't ti later, because you stuck here with her, even when I said I wanted to see you last night." She turned her look to and I just shrugged.
I an don't look at like that, I chased him out of my room last night, it's not my fault he didn't co to yours.! I thought to myself.
Reagan drew in a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose which was a clear sign of how frustrated he was. "Listen to Celeste, this is neither the place nor the ti, now get out!" He snarled at her and I almost felt bad for Celeste at the way Reagan dismissed her and I would have if it weren't for the words she spoke next.
"I am carrying your heir!"
