Chapter 56- Addie – Things Seem Better (VOLUME 3)

**ADDIE'S POV**

"Addie, where have you been?" Sassy asked as soon as I walked into the dorm. "Oh." She looked at who I had entered with.

"Hello, Sassy." I greeted her. "I studied with Princess Irina in the library today, and then I helped Hollis with something. He decided to walk me back." I looked to the side at Hunter and Uncle Orson, who had been there with me and followed us back, he hadn't needed to walk with me, but he had done it because he wanted to.

"Yes, she helped me with something that I was struggling with."

"WHAT!?" There was another familiar voice, this one yelling toward us from across the common room. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, HOLLIS!? WHY ARE YOU WITH HER?"

"Stop screaming, Larissa." Hollis glared at her and spoke with a note of command in his voice. "I owe you no explanations. Still, it's not like I am going to hide it. Princess Addison has been helping me with some work that I have to do. She is quite knowledgeable."
