Esteria placed her bag on her lap and fastened her seat belt. Through the window behind her, I could still see Corvian near the entrance of Crescent House. She lifted a hand to him before the driver pulled away.

“Did you get time to speak to him?” I asked.

“Only for a few minutes. Everyone was arriving.”

“You’ll see him again tonight.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

    Elliott Esteria placed her bag on her lap and fastened her seat belt. Through the window behind her, I could still see Corvian near the entrance of Crescent House. She lifted a hand to him before the driver pulled away. “Did you get time to speak to him?” I asked. “Only for a few minutes. Everyone was arriving.” “You’ll see him again tonight.” “Yes, Your Majesty.” She checked that the folder inside her bag was secure, then rested her hands over it. I left her to her thoughts. Adrian expected us shortly, and I still needed to go through the information she was carrying. He was waiting in my study when we returned to the Crown Residence. Esteria hung her coat over the back of a chair and took out the briefing notes. “The property team sent the revised figures,” Adrian said. “Julian has checked the terms, but there’s a problem with the handover date.” I opened the folder. The development concerned a block of older apartments Moonfang Holdings bought earlier that year. Renovation

    Esteria The week passed so quickly, and I didn't want it to end. Although work helped. I learned which calls belonged with Adrian, where Elliott expected his briefing notes, and how to send an unnecessary request back without apologizing three times. I continued taking Tamara’s tonic as instructed, although nothing unusual happened afterward. On Wednesday, the reports from the seven territories arrived, keeping Elliott, Alaric, and Damon occupied for much of the afternoon. By Thursday, the household’s welcome arrangements were nearly complete. Then by Friday morning, Adrian sent me to Crescent House with the final schedules while he remained at the Crown Residence with Elliott. I wore the deep-green knitted dress Vivienne chose for me, with low black heels and my hair pinned back. Maelis showed me where to leave my coat and work bag, then checked the copies I brought. “Thank you, dear. We were waiting for these.” “Adrian confirmed the last change this morning.” “Good. Come thr

    Esteria On Tuesday morning, I chose a cream silk blouse and charcoal trousers from the clothes Vivienne selected for me. With low black heels, my hair secured in a neat bun, and the dark-brown work bag over my shoulder, I looked considerably more confident than I felt. The problem this time had very little to do with my job. While fastening the last button of my blouse, I remembered Elliott’s hand closing around mine. Then his voice returned, clear enough to make me pause in front of the mirror. He wanted my company. I carried that thought all the way to Moonfang Tower, where a message from Adrian finally gave me something else to concentrate on. A meeting had moved to a different conference room, and the updated briefing needed to reach Elliott before nine. By the time I finished, I had answered two calls, confirmed the new room, and corrected the time on the printed schedule. It felt good to know what needed doing without asking someone about every step. Adrian knocked on my

    Elliott Esteria kept her hand in mine while the last of the daylight faded above the clearing. Her shoulder rested lightly against my arm, and neither of us seemed particularly interested in moving. Farther along the path, one of the guards quietly changed position. “We should go back before it gets colder,” I said. She looked toward the trees, then down at our hands. “I suppose we should.” There was enough reluctance in her voice to make me consider staying longer. Instead, I stood and helped her up. She released me to straighten her coat, brushing at the black fur caught on one sleeve. “I seem to be taking part of Setra home.” “He’ll be pleased to hear that.” Her smile widened. “Does he know we’re returning without catching anything?” “He was there, Esteria.” “Yes, but he seemed rather distracted.” Setra stirred inside me, entirely unashamed. I picked up the blanket, and she caught the other end before it touched the ground. We folded it between us while she tried unsucces

    Esteria I changed out of my navy dress and hung it carefully before choosing warm trousers and the cream sweater Maelis had knitted. With thick socks, flat ankle boots, and a coat, I felt considerably more prepared for the forest than I had the last time I entered one. I took down my bun, worked my hair into a loose braid, and checked the time. Elliott said he would meet me near the rear terrace. I didn’t want to keep him waiting. Two carts stood beside the garden path when I arrived. Several guards were already there, but my attention went straight to the man standing beside the first vehicle. Elliott had changed into a dark sweater and boots. Without his suit and tie, he looked more approachable, although that did very little to settle my nerves when he held out his hand. “Ready?” “Yes.” His fingers closed around mine as he helped me into the cart. The step wasn’t particularly high. I could have managed it alone, but I was glad he offered. He sat beside me while a guard took

    Elliott Esteria joined me with her bag held close to her side. There was still a little redness around her eyes, although she looked happier than she had when I found her buried beneath other people’s work. “Corvian has left?” “Yes. He stopped to see me before going home.” “I’m glad he did.” “So am I.” Her answer softened at the end. I waited while she closed her office door, then led her toward the private elevator at the other end of my suite. She had spoken easily enough a moment ago. Once the elevator doors closed, however, her attention settled on the changing floor numbers. I glanced at her. “Did you forget something?” “No, Your Majesty.” “Then you can stop looking as though you’re preparing an explanation.” She turned toward me, and the color in her cheeks deepened. “I wasn’t.” I looked at the hand gripping her bag. “Not a very long one,” she admitted. That almost made me smile. I moved slightly to give her more room, but she looked away again before I could decid
