Nothing Like The Rumors

When Annalise went downstairs after half an hour or so, she found all three of the Dark Lords chatting with Crown Prince Elijah in the dining hall where they all seemed to be waiting just for her so that they could finally start the breakfast that Aunt Claire and Vladiya had prepared.

"My apologies for making you all wait." She said while making her way toward her seat between Damien and Kenric.

"As long as the food is great, the wait is nothing. And nice to see you again, Lady Annalise." Elijah spoke as he stood up to greet Annalise with a formal bow that the latter returned with equal respect.

"Nice to have you back here, Your Highness. Did you rest well last night?" She asked while Freya and Sera moved to serve the warm food.
