CHAPTER 104

　　**GWEN**

　　I concluded what I was doing at the study and went for lunch which normally was carried out in quietude as it's usually not a communal affair.I ate alone,at the large hall,a simple breakfast comprised of soured lemon pie and fresh asparagus.

　　After eating,I was driven to seek out Ashton as I was aware he was in a meeting in which I was supposed to be present but not in the mood to be.I needed to take a stroll.By myself.

　　And so I did.

　　"Good day,Your Highness,"Mousy greeted when I reached the front doors.I bowed my head slightly to acknowledge his greeting with a small smile.

　　"Hello,how are you?"

　　"I'm fine,your highness."He said too blithely."Are you going out for a walk?"He went on to ask.

　　I nodded,wondering how he knew."Just around the palace."

　　"Of course,your highness.I will relay that to the King if he inquires."With a single bob of my head,I didn't waste more time and took my leave.
