Chapter 507. Horrifying Sight
Mauve sat on the edge of her bed as she waited for Jael. It has been three days since she went around the castle compound with Jael.
She was alone in her room and she was nervous. She had thought she would skip the last meal and spend the rest of the remaining days the Lords would be here in her room but that didn’t seem to be the case.
She gripped the brush a little too hard as she ran it through her hair. There was no need to comb it again but she needed something to do. Something to distract her from her turbulent thoughts. Sure, she was putting pieces of her hair all over the bed but it wasn’t like she slept in it.
She looked at the door and then the connecting door. Any moment from now Jael will walk in from either of them. Her stomach knotted. Would she be able to enjoy the meal?
The Lords had started arriving as early as after the first meal. By the end of the second meal, she was told that most of them had arrived. Considering the sun would set soon she expected they should have all arrived.
Mauve’s stomach twisted some more. When Jael had casually mentioned that he would come get her in time for the last meal, she had thought she was hearing things. But he seemed serious.
She wanted to ask more questions but she hadn’t and now she was regretting it. When the last meal was over, she would ask him what the plan was.
Would she be stuck in her room? Or did he intend to let her move around? Mauve didn’t know how to feel about this, it would likely piss off a lot of Lords.
"Lost in thoughts, I see," Jael said.
Mauve jerked and her eyes flew to the connecting door. How did she not hear him come in? Vampires and their silent movements.
"Yeah," she whispered and dropped the brush, not missing the fact that more hair than usual was stuck on it.
