The Power of Creation

Not only weren’t we offered a new date to meet with lady Veska in the next three days, but her father also sent me a letter, profusely apologizing for the way he had reacted, and I promised myself to do more than just try to talk him out of his guilt. An occasion that I could use to my benefit so that I could figure out just what was behind the changes to my story.

Like a true man in love, the prince had sent a bouquet of roses to Aramis every few hours, which meant that, in the three days that had passed, the poor woman had probably been inundated with flowers. It was the same reason why me and the prince were having coffee at a certain restaurant in the city, a good four hours before the ladies were supposed to arrive… which probably meant that we would be waiting for five or more hours.

I sighed and took a small sip from my coffee, asking one of the passing waitresses for a sandwich.
