Welcome Home Lucien

Aliana chose a dark blue dress that matched her eyes for dinner at Northmarch castle. It had a high neckline and was tight around her waist, she showed less skin but the dress clung to her body like a glove.

Her hair was piled in a bun and she wore a simple gold and diamond tiara with matching earrings. Aliana still felt unsettled about Lady Judithe's presence earlier and wanted to talk to Lucien more about it, she wanted to know more about the lady.

Edith and Janie helped Aliana finish getting ready and she was heading out the door when she ran into Lucien heading to her room. He reached out to steady her and took in Aliana for a moment before clearing his throat. Lucien was enraptured and his pounding heart proved it.

Aliana stared at him curiously before accepting his hand.

"You look beautiful in that color, Ali," Lucien murmured to her.

Aliana smiled up at Lucien. "Is that why you were just staring at me strangely?"
