Hilda walked in with Lord Xander's meal in a tray, her head bowed and her systems trying so hard to hide her anxiety.
Her hands were nearly shaking.
"G..... Good morning, My Lord" she greeted with a bow.
But Xander didn't turn to look at her as he just fixed his gaze into space.
"I'm not eating, Hilda" he suddenly said, making her heart skip two beats.
What????
"M...My Lord, I don't understand' she stuttered and gulped hard.
"I thought you were going for a fight? You need to have some...."
"Just make me some tea, Hilda" he cut her off, calmly tho.
"Some tea and I'll be fine".
Hilda exhaled deeply.
"As you wish, My Lord" she bowed and left the room with the tray.

Forgive my manners; I actually forgot you're single and you're probably looking out for a husband" Kaylan teased, earning a glare from Jaden as they left the room."Do we make use of a horse?" Jaden asked as they walked outside."Of course, not I don't even know how to use a horse. Besides, using a horse right now would create too much suspicions from the guards and I don't want that.

The poison isn't meant to kill; it's only meant to cause dizziness and weakness.
