Lady Inayah's Past

After their little tussle on the bed, and Alexander's light nap, he woke at night, though he could not say at what time.

The sky was still blanketed by heavy clouds, and the outside was pitch black, making any such deduction impossible.

Not that Alexander was very concerned about it as currently he was feeling famished.

It seemed he had definitely skipped lunch and likely dinner too.

And as he let Lady Inayah know about this, the mature lady let out a gentle, motherly smile, informing him, "Mmnn, I guessed you might be. So I had Kesha set aside some food for you. Let me get it for you. Dinner is long over you see."

Kesha was Lady Inayah's personal maid, and as the noble lady said this, she quickly called a short, petite girl and asked her to bring the food over, while in the meantime Alexander washed his face and refreshed himself using the indoor basin, his body relaxing by the warmth of the roaring fireplace lit inside.

And by the time he was ready, the food had arrived.
