Chapter Forty-Six

Persephone

I looked up from the book i was reading, a fable Vivi had given me to pass time with when i got bored. His Majesty's Bride, it was named. It spoke of the love between the first Fae the goddess Luna had created and his mate.

I sighed, dropping the book on the table that stood close to the hearth.

"Who is it?"

"'Tis I. Amilie."

"Oh." I unlocked the door and set it ajar for her. She came in bearing a pile of clothing and... things in her hand.

"Why Amilie? I have enough clothes in my armoire. Why... this? And isn't it too early? The feast isn't until tonight."

She placed the heap on my bed and turned to look at me with huge brown eyes.

I tilted my head and observed her carefully. "Where are Nori, Cleta and Snowdrop?"

"They bring fairydust."

"What?"

She waved her hand to dismiss the question and pointed at the bathroom.

"I already had a bath Amilie."
