CHAPTER 15 Visit to The Seer

  Desiree

  I stayed in my room all day. Aunt Margret came to check on me, and the moment I saw her, I began to cry. She wondered what might have happened. She sat at the foot of my bed and held me close.

  "I heard you were summoned by the king, Desiree. My heart was in my mouth," she confessed, and I cried some more.

  "Please do not tell me he found out about you and Adam?" she said from fear, and I nodded. She got up immediately.

  "Get up Desiree, I need to get you out of here," she said, genuinely afraid for me.

  "I am not in trouble, Aunty," I told her, and she had a question in her eyes. She stood still and observed me.

  "You know you can't joke like that?" she said.

  "I wasn't Joking, aunty. The king knows, but I am not going to be punished," I confessed to her.

  "What! Why?" She asked.
