12. A Concubine?

12. A Concubine?

It was really nice to be back at home.

El was so tired that she went to bed straight away, she didn't even wash.

"How was it?"

"Well the whore didn't sleep with Bryan," said Catherine.

"Not that." said Sofia. "the prince?"

"Oh him!." said Catherine. "His Highness spent time with me but he kept staring at Lady Irin."

Sofia nodded.

That was expected, Sofia thought to herself.

"And the whore?"

"She was there," said Catherine. "Bryan and the rest of the boys were jealous"

Sofia stares at her.

"They haven't slept yet." said Catherine."If that's what you are wondering."

Sofia sighed with relief.

"And details"?"

Catherine shoock her head. "Be Patient."

Sofia nodded. She smiled and exited.

Catherine had her belongings unpacked. She looked at her hand the one Eric had touched. She could feel his warmth. She knew that he had feelings for Irin but she couldn't help feeling attracted to Eric. Perhaps, she could earn his love?

Then, an idea struck her. She could befriend Irih! In that way, she could get closer to Eric. So, she sent Iriin to a small tea party. So she sat down, grabbed a pan, and started writing.

Irin smiled upon reading it.

Oh, she is smart. Irin smiled, this could be fun.

Then she heard a carriage stopping by and saw Dr.Iro and his son Yosukezy stepping out. Yosukezy was tall, pretty, and had broad shoulders.

"It is my pressure to introduce my son and heir Yosukezy Shirel."

Yousukey showed courtesy. "Nice to meet you, my lady."

His voice was creMaland soft.

"The pleasure is mine," said Irin. "Should we walk?:

Yosukezy smiled.

They strolled down the garden of House Isotopes It was majestic, they could smell roses and grasses cut in neat, There indeed were so many flowers he didn't know. Maybe, his father would have.

"It is beautiful," said Yosukezy.

"Do you know the herb's name?" asked Irin.

"People expected me to know things just because my father is an expert," complained Yosukezy.

"Do you?"

" Only a bit!!" said Yousukezy, "but I am more interested in Sirens. I figured you'd seen some lately?"

"Yes, at the camp." said Irin."His Highness has written to your lord father."

"How was it?"

"Well they were mermad-like.,,"

"No, my lady." said Yosukezy. "how did it feel?"

"Curious," said Irin. "maybe you should have come."

Youskezy sighed.

"Irin!" called out Mona. "It's time for lunch."

They went inside.

Mona had servants bringing out food, pasta salad, and bread. Also wine, It was too early to drink, but they felt like it. Besides, not even Dr.Iro had plans for the latter, so why not? At first, Irin planned to minimize the drinking since the sun hadn't even gone down yet. But it was so fun. Who had ever said that Dr.Iro was an awkward nerd? He was humorous, Yosukezy even more. Fortunately for Irin, Yosukezy too was interested in martial arts.
