Chapter 228: Her personality model
Dinner ended on a peaceful note, Abrielle led her parents to their room while Cedric handled Callista and Lucian. Abrielle was genuinely curious why the lead couple had visited the castle uninvited
"Have a lovely night," she wished her parents at their door before giving each of them a short hug. She has to act as affectionate as she can since the Nightshade family was rather an affectionate one
It was rare to find such a family in this setting. "We will. Take care of yourself." Pierre replied.
After wishing her family a goodnight Abrielle made her way back to her quarters. She was glad that she survived day one.
Later that night, in a brightly lit study past midnight, there was a knock at the door. Cedric’s hand writing on a book halted, hearing the knocking sound. He was certain it wasn’t Abrielle because she would not knock.
The person didn’t say who he or she was. Curious the prince left his work on his desk and walked towards the table. He could not sense who it was behind the door due to the camouflaged scent covered with Abrielle’s.
Paying keen attention to the sounds, he was sure it was a human and not some supernatural being. The door clicked open, making a gentle creaking sound against the floor.
His eyes then fell on a particular ginger hair but it wasn’t his little ginger. An older woman with similar ginger packed into a bun, unlike Abrielle, who loved letting her hair cascade down her waistline.
Cedric had changed from his earlier outfit and was wearing something very simple, a black shirt paired with black trousers while his hair was packed into a bun to prevent it from inconveniencing him while he worked.
