Brice' Pov

"My Lord, dinner is ready!" I heard someone calling from the other side of the door. I rub my eyes and tried to stand up. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling me back down.

I looked beside me and quickly gpt shocked, making me fall off the bed.

"My Lord, are you alright? Should I come in-"

"No! I...I'm alright," I said as I quickly stood up, making Azaila jolt awake. She looked at me embarrassed and looks away.

"Are you sure my lord?" I heard Quincy from outside. I quickly sighed and dust off my clothes. "Yes, I just saw a cat. That's all," I said as I gave a smile to Azaila. I then heard Quincy gasping.

"That must be Nicholas' cat then. He was looking for her earlier. I should tell-" I quickly panicked and interrupted her. I can't actually let Quincy barged in and see Azaila.

"I'm sure it's not his Quincy,"

"Maybe-"

"Quincy?" I heard Nicholas asking as I sighed in relief. Finally. Atleast Quincy won't bother come inside my room. I then heard Nicholas rambling and then utter silence fell. They probably went downstairs to prepare the meal.

Azaila was still looking at me, making it a little bit awkwards for us. I tried to gain a little bit of my composure before talking to her.

"Sorry for waking you up," I said as I held my hand out to her to help her stand. She took it and stood up. We stood there for minutes, not knowing what to do next.

"I should leave-"

"No," I quickly disagree and grab her hand. She turned around, looking at me confusingly. "You can stay. If you want to, that is," I said as I rub my neck with my other hand, embarrassed.

She smiled and nodded. "So, do you want something to eat? I'm sure you're starving already," she was about to protest but I quickly walked towards the door.

"Stay here. Alright? I'll get you something to eat," I said as I quickly went out and walk downstairs. I saw Augustus with his sword. He looked at me and tched. He quickly went downstairs and I followed.

I saw Nicholas fixing the silverware and Quincy getting the drinks all aligned. I could see the earl going to his seat as I sat on mine. We were on each end as our servants were on our side.

"Nicholas, can you save a cake for me then bring it later to my room?" I said as I fakely coughed. Nicholas quickly understood and nodded.

"Yes my lord," he said as he cuts a perfectly triangle sliced cake and preserved it for later. The earl looked at me questioningly as I tried to eat my Exquis Délicieux Cake.

"So, why are you going to eat in your room? Why not here?" I quickly coughed and pretended to be sick. "My lord?" I still coughed and the earl looked surprised. Thank heavens, he fell for it.
