I wanted to go to Tristan and tell him everything but then I realized that we had been into the day for quite a long ti and it was early afternoon. I could not find any vampire around so I did not bother leaving my room. relyn occupied the guest bedroom and I want to sleep beside Catherine.
It took so ti to fall asleep because I was focusing on my sister. How long has it been since we had been in bed together and I had told her an imaginary story about what had happened or just told her one of the mories I had of our mother?
It had been too long for us to be sisters and just enjoy a few monts together. So much that happened for both of us that had matured us beyond our years which was not fair to little Catharine. She should have had the opportunity to live her life to the fullest.
I must a fallen asleep while staring at Catherine, because it was Irene who woke up at midnight.
My sister was already awake and had gone into the bad, enjoying the supply of hot water here.
"Would you like to bring your midnight Mihir? Your sister has decided for the sa."
"Hmm." I nodded but then rembered that I still have to tell Tristan everything. Deciding against dining with my sister, I told her my answer and also told her to tell relyn to eat with Catherine.
I used the smaller bath in my apartnt. Since my sister had very graciously used to the one I had been allotted.
My lady in waiting made sure that I was ready for the king and the audience in the palace. For Soone who was to be crowned the Queen of the country, I always had to be my best.
Just as I descended the stairs, Tristan appeared in front of and held out his hand. I placed mine in his without a single thought and that did not escape my notice.
"How was your day?" He asked . "I heard that you were wake with your sister well into the day."
"I-We were." I nodded. "I just got to know what happened with her."
"Ah."
"Yes." I stopped at the floor and waited before telling him. "Catherine could not tell a lot because she did not have the knowledge of what happened behind the curtains. A lady in waiting was staying with her in the village that you found again. Her na is Laura and I want to know more, we need her."
"Laura." He repeated the na and shared a look with solomon. "You sister did not tell us if anyone was living with her."
A sad smile ca to my lips as I replied, "there is a reason for that. Catherine was happy enough to be rescued, and when she saw soldiers in royal uniform, she took her chance and left. She montarily forgot about Laura, and was almost went into hysterics when she rember to what she had done."
"I see." He took my hand and led to the dining room instead of just standing at the bottom of the stairs. Once seated and after the food was served, he angled his head towards . "What else did she tell you?"
For a mont, I wanted to say nothing, but I rember that Tristan could always tell whenever I lied. The look he gave said exactly the sa. If I would lie, he would catch on imdiately.
So, I answered him the best I could. "It was practically nothing. She told about her experience of how she was taken by Laura from the palace by the basent, how she traveled for days outside the capital and settled into a village. They had a threat that Laura took care of in a... Bloody way and then then they traveled again, but this ti it was close to the border where you found her I guess."
"That was it?" He frowned.
Just like , even Tristan had expected more from my sister, but you forgot that Katherine was shielded by and Estelle. It ant that she was not exactly smart at work ca to observations.
"Yes, throw in a little bit of more details and this was the entire story. This is why I think we should have Laura co in here and tell us what happened. I just wanted to know if my eldest sister knew about this or not. I an I think she did because if not then the entire Palace would have been searching for Catherine and I would have heard about it sohow because Sir Walter still keeps track of what is happening in lenmore."
If Estelle knew about this, then this was going to be a problem between her and . That’s when was too young for this, and she could have sent her to a distant relative instead. They would have taken better care of the princess of the country rather than just a lady waiting to be all alone with Katherine. Not even a guard had been sent with her. What was my sister thinking if she was behind this?
"Laura, the maid will be found as soon as possible. Solomon is already on it and I think by the end of the night or maybe tomorrow, she will be brought to the palace." He said before pointing to my food. " please start eating and where is Katharine?"
"She chose to dine upstairs. I think she is still a little bit conscious of how she’s going to eat. You cannot expect her to eat in the company of people when she has been starving for so long. Please excuse her at the mont."
I saw how she ate yesterday when she was with Marilyn and . She was hungry and did not pay attention to the etiquettes that had been installed into us at a very young age. I did not care much of it and Marilyn ignore It is well, but might not look good in front of the rest of the people living here.
He nodded and as I started eating, he followed.
