Chapter 3
Prince Dylan de Helios
_______After a hearty breakfast was over, Dylan and Xavier waited for the girl to come back but she didn't. Instead, a girl with thin bobbed greyish hair and similar eye color came. She was wearing proper maid attire. After greeting both of them politely she eloquently stated,
"My name is Delilah, and I'm here to take the leftovers and the dishes."
She is collecting them when Dylan inquires politely,
"Where is the other girl?"
"Other girl? Are you referring to my twin sister, Mary?"
"Mary?"
"By all means, she looks just like me, but her eyes are hazel."
"No, I meant the dear lady with jet-black hair and green eyes. The one that made this breakfast for us."
Delilah's eyes flicker. She felt puzzled and kept staring wonderingly at both men's faces. After a considerable pause, she remarks thoughtfully,
"She is busy."
"May I respectfully inquire what her identity is?"
"You both are distinguished scholars from Helios, right? Therefore, you are prime guests of Duke Nabal and his family. If you are their honored guests then I'm afraid you have no genuine concern with her."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
Dylan scowls along with Xavier who carefully kept observing.
"It is at it is. If she felt it necessary for you to recognize her identity she would have informed you beforehand. However, it seems she didn't. Then who am I to intentionally expose her identity to you two strangers?"
"Then at least tell me if her status is of someone important?"
"It naturally depends on how you typically perceive it. Then, I'll take my leave now."
