As always many thanks to Todger65 for his help in editing! ***** Despite the promising start, getting settled into the routines of Draeseth's house over the next month was as easy as it was cheerless. Draeseth barely had time to see her. He walked her to the winter garden in the mornings after breakfast tucked under his cloak and left her there to go att...
Thanks to Nthusiastic for her help in editing, beta reading, and asking good questions! ***** Possibly due to the tea that her Daga had insisted she drink, Isonei was very much awake during the carriage ride to Oyeth Lothlaeri. Hesh, however, had fallen asleep slumped against the side next to Onsh-Velarith. Keeping their voices low, she and Daga Liadith...
Thanks to Todger65 for helping me edit another chapter! ***** Isonei was startled out of her slumber by Draeseth trying to pull her against his side. It took a moment for her to remember where she was and why she'd been against the window in the first place. The way he was insistently stroking her arm suggested he wanted her awake to talk. She glanced to...
Tremendous thanks to Nthusiastic for all her help with editing, beta reading, and for making great suggestions! ***** The rooms Lislora had been kept in were certainly smaller and plainer than the ones Isonei had gotten used to, her clothes had less space and one chest had to be kept in her bedroom. Even so, it was a relief to be out of the other rooms; aw...
Since this is the last chapter I wanted to give my sincerest thanks to both Todger65 who helped edit nearly forty chapters and to Nthusiastic who beta read and helped with editing for roughly the last half of the chapters! Your time and effort were greatly appreciated. ***** Isonei tried not to sigh at Arissa's peevish whining, "Come back upstairs! Your...
My tremendous thanks to Todger65 for editing another chapter! ***** In the morning, Isonei was woken by little fingers pulling at her face and faint light coming in through the carriage windows. Daighe was curled on top of her with one arm stretched out to pull at her lips and nose. She felt cold and stiff lying on her back with her knees bent and twisted...
Many, many thanks to Todger65 for editing! ***** "How do you find Oyeth Lothlaeri, dear Isonei?" Daga Lothlaerith asked as he gestured for refreshments to be brought. Isonei twisted her lips trying to think how to best approach the topic. "Uhhmm, I have seen not much, but the baths please. They are lovely." "And the people?" He smiled and sipped some of...
Many thanks to Todger65 for his help in editing and Nthusiastic for beta reading and asking good questions! ***** Isonei woke to the unpleasant sound of Krouth arguing quietly with Burgath in her bedroom. Whining, she buried her head under the pillow. She whined again as Krouth began tapping on the hand she'd left on top. "Your Grace, you have a guest."...
My thanks to Nthusiastic for her help with editing, beta reading, and making good suggestions! ***** "How can she sleep in the carriage?" Isonei was roused from her sleep by Oberath's grousing, but only barely cracked her eyes open. "Let my sister sleep. She'll entertain you again when she wakes, she's had a hard journey." Ivorith murmured and adjust...
As always, my thanks to Todger65 for help in editing and Nthusiastic for beta reading and asking good questions! ***** When they arrived at her rooms Isonei gave Krouth a pleading look and he deftly managed to send Kresh away allowing her to retreat into the bedroom alone. As she was undressing and wishing she could bathe he knocked on the door and infor...
