Aurora got to the servant's quarters during lunch and all her friends had so many questions for her the minute she sat down.

"Where have you been Aurora? We have been worried sick." Said Evelyn.

"I was with Caspian."

They all grinned and gave her a mischievous look on their faces, little did they know it was not in the way they think it happened.

"Tell us everything, and don't you dare miss out on any detail," said Ida.

"We want every single drop of water," Lucy remarked.

"It's not the way you all think it happened."

"Then tell us still." Said Agnes.

Aurora told them the events that had occurred and what had made her miss her curfews, and how she woke up early, cleaned, and left his chambers.

When she was done telling them everything she could see that her friends had a mixture of confusion and surprise.

"So you two didn't even kiss?" Barbara asked.

"Not at all."

"How was the food like?" Ella asked.

"It was delicious but I couldn't enjoy it to the fullest as I had lost my sense of taste."

"Bummer, how is Caspian's bed?" Agnes asked with her eyebrow up.

"Very soft and warm, very different compared to what we have."

"Sucks that you won't be in it again unless you succumb." Lucy winked at her.

Lunch finished and she went to her tree and sat down with her legs pulled up and her head buried in her arms.

"Finally I have found you."

"Elliot, how have you been?"

"Great, but seems as if you have been having it rough."

"Can't wait to go home and rest, it is much needed."

Elliot nodded as he sunk down next to her, "You still have some duties?"

"Yes, or else I would have been gone by now."

She and Elliot spoke a bit more and tea time came, she went to Caspian's chambers, fatigue was catching up to her.

Today she would have to forfeit supper if it was not ready, she just wanted to go to her place. She took the tray from the kitchen and made her way to his chambers.

Aurora tried to not jump or look frightened, Nadia was seated opposite Caspian and they seemed to be in a flirtatious conversation.

She walked and placed the tray in front of them, they seemed to have diverted their attention onto her,

"Your tea."

"I know you." Nadia blurted out.

Aurora kept her head down, as she did not know how to respond to her inquisition.

"It's hard to forget your hair color."

"Thank you for the honor, I'm grateful My lady for the grace you have bestowed on me."

"How long has she served you?" Nadia directed the question this time to Caspian.

"Not very long, she is filling in for one of the maids that fell sick."

Nadia nodded, "Hopefully you will still be around."

"Thank you, My Lady."

Nadia nodded to her, and she stepped in front of them and poured tea into their glasses and a cube of sugar.

Aurora thought she would be dismissed but no they were having their tea in front of her. Her legs were in pain.

"Would you like to sit with me?" Caspian asked.

"No My Lord, I am fine as to where I stand."

"We don't need much help, you may leave." Said Nadia.

"Thank My Lord, My Lady."

Aurora left and lucky her the dinner was ready, she ate quickly and made her way to her place. She took a bucket and went to bathe.

Once done, she was in her place, she climbed into her bed and felt all the differences in her bed compared to his.

Why did it nag her that Nadia was there? At least she could have lunch or tea with him whenever she desired.

The wedding date would be set soon with the way things were going. As much as she would love to stay in her thoughts she fell asleep soon after.

Aurora woke up the next morning feeling rested, she definitely need this break, she stretched and made her way to the bathroom.

After her normal routine she made her way to the palace, then the servant's quarters, when she was seated with her friends,

"We finally get to see your face." Said Ella.

"You are scarce this day," Ida remarked playfully.

"Costs a fortune to see that lovely face of yours," and this time it was Barbara.

"So what happened last night my lady we did not see you during dinner?" Agnes asked.

"I served Caspian and Nadia tea and then I was dismissed from my duties, came here and was lucky that dinner was ready, and I ate then went home."

"Wait so it is true that Nadia was here?" said Evelyn

She nodded, "I also was caught off guard."

"Marriage is coming soon with the way she can't get enough of Caspian." Said Lucy.

Aurora tried to not let it bother her, the way she was acting one would think she was the one who is supposed to be betrothed to Caspian.

"Must be, the families will have a gathering to address their marriage soon," Agnes added.

Aurora went to her duties the minute that breakfast had finished, she walked to Caspian's chambers and when she got there the door was closed, she knocked lightly but there was no answer so she opened it slowly and was relieved that no one was in there.
