Chapter 8: A Fae Descendant or A Succubus
"Where’s Lord Kenric?" Annalise asked as she finished the tea and refused the pastry that Sera offered her. She wasn’t in the mood to eat anything at the moment. Her mind was all over the place and she was still quite nervous about meeting the rest of her husbands to pay attention to food.
"Are you looking for me?" The familiar voice of Lord Kenric greeted Annalise from behind her and as she turned to look at the man she found him standing at the bottom step of the porch.
Her eyes settled on his tall frame and she found that he looked even more ethereal in the daylight. His white shirt and black trousers did nothing to hide his well-built body and his loose hair that was reaching below his shoulders only made him look more appealing to the eyes.
Annalise hurriedly shook her head to pull herself out of her thoughts that had started running astray as she bowed to greet the Lord.
"My Lord." She greeted politely and noticed as Sera took her leave after greeting Lord Kenric.
"My Lady, I’ll return to help the servants clean your room. Have a nice morning." Sera wished both of them before she picked up the tray with the kettle and cup in it before walking inside the castle.
Annalise returned her attention and noticed that he was still waiting for her response. Walking down the steps, she approached her husband as she spoke, "My Lord..."
"Drop the formalities. Just call me Kenric." Kenric interrupted her as he didn’t like the formal way she was using to address him.
Annalise was silent as she couldn’t just make herself call him by his name all of a sudden. She pursed her lips as she noticed that the Lord was again waiting for her response.
