219 Chapter 201: The Marquess

The Centre. 

"Sire..." Audwin starts hesitantly. I know what he wants to say too, and he knows my reaction to it.

"Quiet Audwin, the time for conversation has long passed, I must do this."

And though I say this to he and myself, I strong wish, more than anything for someone to come and spare me from this embarrassment.

He sighs and nods, tightening his gloves. "I understand." he leaves my side and walks up to the men standing guard by the large hall doors that lead to my last life line, at least, the last I'm willing to grab onto.

He clears his throat and announces, "The Lord Serue of House Ire would like and audience with the Marquess!"

I bite unto my lip, barely restraining myself from jumping at the door to simple bulldoze my way through, but I know that will only land me in even more scandal. And I cannot handle anymore mud in my face.
