"Aaran you must already know Sir Ashel and his fiancee Miss Camelia." The King says.

"Nice to see you both again." He says nodding gently. They exchange pleasantries for a moment and then go silent again.

"Yes. But this is your first time meeting Miss Bia who will be annointed as a Saintess." The King says. I curtsey gently. "Hello. I'm Bia Nova Jamestown." I say.

"I am Aaran Calan Caldwell. It is nice to meet you my lady." He says and nods. I smile, not making direct eye contact with him and then glance at the King.

"I'm sure you're all wondering why I called you all here. Aaran, I was hoping you would take charge of Ms.Bia until the ceremony next month." He says looking at him. Aaran frowns but nods.

"If it is needed then yes." He says glancing at Ashel and Camelia." They both smile and Camelia takes my hands.

"It was only a short time but I was happy to get to know you. We must write each other." She says smiling. She totally wants updates, all the tea. I nod. "I will." I smile back. We say our goodbyes and then they leave.
