617 Growing flower- Part 2
"And you can get even better-"
"And do what? Join the group of theaters and play with them?" questioned Lucy, slightly annoyed by the governesses persistence. "I get that you are in a bad mood, but I would prefer you keep your personal feelings out of this class and with unless you prefer not to work here anymore."
Lucy placed her bowed, ready to leave when the governess sighed and she apologized, "Pardon , milady. I didn't an to be harsh but the Queen wants you to be perfect in what you are learning."
"I am sure my future husband will be more than happy to listen to play basic things," respond Lucy, and the governess wanted to say sothing but knowing this was the princess, she decided to bite her tongue.
Lucy watched her governess nod and the woman then offered her a smile. She was curious about what happened yesterday, after she had left Theodore.
"Are you doing alright, Ms. Lewis? You have been spacing out a little today. You can talk to if you need soone to listen to," offered Lucy, her curious self wanting to know what happened.
Her governess offered a tight smile to Lucy as if she was a little embarrassed about what went down. "It is nothing, let's take a break here and continue after an hour."
"Okay," Lucy was more than glad to leave the music room, and she stepped out of the room.
She bit her lip, her steps slow and careful when she noticed Ms. Lewis leave the room to get so fresh air herself. It seed like she had been rejected and Theodore had not accepted the woman's letter.
Lucy didn't know if what she did was right, and if she had hurt the woman's feelings by indirectly ddling in the subject. But she had done what she felt was right yesterday. At the sa ti, she was glad Theodore had not questioned her orders and he had followed it.
Deciding to take a walk in the corridors, Lucy was alone when she caught sight of her cousin who was speaking to her brother. Walking to where they were, Lucy greeted both of them,
"Good afternoon brother Calhoun. Ethan, it is good to see you here," she wished her cousin who offered her a deep bow.
"A very good afternoon to you, Lady Lucy," greeted her cousin.
Hearing soone call for Calhoun, he excused himself to leave Lucy and Ethan alone in the corridor that wasn't far from the royal court room.
"Seems like things have changed since I last arrived here," comnted Ethan as he watched Calhoun's retreating back. "I would have never guessed that King Laurence would have a third advising minister in the court."
"So I heard," responded Ethan, a faint frown on his forehead. He had also heard more than just the death that had occured, as word was that Calhoun had killed his own mother to gain the King's attention. "You should be carefull, Lady Lucy."
"Don't worry about , Ethan," a soft laughter escaped Lucy's lips and the man turned around to see the gleaming smile on the young vampiress's face. The very smile stole his heart and he wished he could tell her how bad the world was, but he doubted she would understand its complications. "Brother Calhoun and his companion are wonderful people. You didn't tell how it went with the girl you were supposed to speak to."
Far away from them, Theodore who stood on the above corridor watched the young man and girl interact with each other. Lucy was friendly with everyone in the castle, speaking to everyone, but he had never seen this man before in the castle.
Ethan turned slightly embarrassed and he shook his head, "I haven't told her yet."
"Ah, I see. You should tell her quickly without delay. You are a good man, Ethan, I am sure she will say yes to you the mont you put the question out," encouraged Lucy, not knowing the girl whom Ethan wanted to ask for marriage was no one but her.
Even Theodore who had seen the man for the first ti could tell his feelings were reserved for the girl who stood in front of him.
Theodore had t many won and girls who were mostly cunning, spoilt, and felt they were entitled to everything around them by being selfish. The won he had been with sotis got caught but refused to take the bla. And when that happened, either their family mbers or spouse would hunt and beat him up. He had slept and had been in the company of many females since a very young age, but he no one could compare to the princess.
He had brought blood to Lucy only because she looked pitiful in the company of her family, and yesterday, he hadn't expected her to bring him and Calhoun blood where they were tied. People often forgot the help that was provided and to think this young vampiress had co there, even after knowing she would be in trouble if soone caught her, caught Theodore's attention.
"Yes, I hope so too," replied Ethan with a smile, without being able to move his eyes away from her as if he was entranced by her. "I was planning to take her to a ball that is being hosted by Duke Barnes. But I am having trouble with the dance steps."
"I can help you with that if you want," Lucy offered her help thoughtlessly.
