Lady of the household

 Lucian smiled at Cedric before his gaze drew to Abrielle. "My gratitude was to Abrielle and not you. I had no idea you were your wife's spoke man." He sneered at Cedric who didn't look to be affected by Lucien's comment.

 

 " I appreciate the offer and will consider it." Abrielle chirped despite feeling the mood of the man beside her shift. Maybe with Lucian's favour, she might escape Cedric's blade, but she doubted it would be that simple.

 

 "I am glad you did." Lucian chimed. The sound of glass shattering on the floor drew everyone to look at Callista who was completely embarrassed. The wine glass are was using had slipped from her fingers.

 

 "I am very sorry my fingers slipped." She blurted while shaking. Lucian immediately got up from his seat to her side to move her from the shards while the maids came over to clean up the mess. "Are you alright?" Lucian asked, and she slowly nodded, glancing at Cedric.
