Chapter 391: A day with women (1)
The next day, Siena sat with Annalise and Rafael to recount everything Travis said or what she overheard. Rafael then passed on what he was told to his father which ended in Travis being tortured more for wanting to send Beatrice to a madhouse if he had caught her.
With Travis in their hands, they had no one to worry about and the manor was peaceful. Soon one day turned into a week with Annalise waiting to hear from the palace again.
"You want me to do what?" Annalise asked, looking at Beatrice.
Beatrice surprised Annalise with a visit saying she had good news.
"I want to host a party for you to have fun. It will be just women you are close to. I hope you don’t mind but I have already invited some of the women among the knights, Giselle, and Heidi. Now that she’s here, I invited Siena," said Beatrice, excited for the list to be getting longer.
"I don’t understand. What is this for? It isn’t my birthday, because that has already passed," Annalise said, scratching her head as she couldn’t think of what else was important for her to have a party.
"I just want to have something for you. I’ve heard from River that the palace is starting to open up to the idea of you going there to speak about the truce so you and Rafael will soon head to Lockwood. I won’t be going there with you because I don’t want to leave the River again," Beatrice said, turning down the offer made to her a few days ago.
"Travis is missing so my parents will come looking. River is dealing with Travis so the least I could do is speak to my parents. I have nothing to say to Travis, but there is a little I want to get off my mind about my parents. Consider this party a little going away gift to you. You might go home after you leave the palace so it will be longer before I see you again," said Beatrice.
"I have not thought of going home after the palace. I do need to see my parents," Annalise said, starting to plan what she would do then.
