Marianne pov contd..

Thank goodness when I lied, Jamie had signaled his knight to inform mother about it. So when we reached the palace meeting room. She was already there and servants had already filled the table with all types of assortments.

She was visibly surprised when she was Cassius. But she coughed uncontrollably when her eyes fell on his darkened gaze. She glared at Jamie who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Why don't you sit down first brother?" I said as I helped him by sitting on the sofa putting extra pillows for his comfort.

Mother eyes me with thousands of questions but does not ask anything.

"Welcome to our humble abode, your highness" she bowed her head a bit and then looked at Killian and signaled her to come closer.

She hugged him and rubbed patted his shoulders, "how are you dear?" 

"I am fine, grandmother. I am very happy to see you." he said with a bright smile and mother chuckled.
