Chapter 203. It Goes Without Saying

"He accompanies you and makes sure nothing is out of place," Jael replied.

They got to the dining room to see everyone else was already seated. Mauve looked at no one in particular as she walked into the dining hall.
"Sire," they all said and bowed as he got close enough. Even Jean was on his feet. Danag was still not back and Mauve wondered when he would be back. She made a mental note to ask jael.
Jael barely acknowledged their greetings before he sat in his usual position. He pointed to the seat next to him and Mauve had no option but to sit there. Usually, she sat a seat or two away from him.
The servants moved quickly serving out the meal on the plates that were already set out. Mauve audibly mumbled her thanks before she dug into the meal.
Halfway through the meal, Jael slowly glanced to his right to see Erick staring at him. He squinted his eyes. "Erick," he called, not hiding his annoyance.
"Yes, Sire," Erick replied, jumping on his seat.
"Even if you stare a hole through my shirt, it is not going to make me eat faster." He sounded extremely irritated. Mauve paused her food and raised her head to see what was happening.
"I apologize, Sire." replied a fidgety Erick, "I got distracted."
