The Confrontation

Jessamyn stood confounded by the door seeing Duke Lagergren sitting on the sofa chatting happily with Jerrick.

Noticing her, the two men stood up as it was the custom of the aristocrats to stand up for a lady. Duke Lagergren bowed his head for her and she did a curtsey in return.

His eyes were tired and although he had cleaned up, there were traces of weariness and distress on his face. He smiled at her, but she felt the chill in the room.

Jessamyn walked in with a smile and Bernard closed the door behind her.

Although she smiled, her heart was pounding. She knew she had to face the nobles sooner or later, but this sudden meet shook her core. Also, this man might not be here with peace. Although he was smiling at her, he would be holding grudges for losing control over Ravensworth.

She also didn't have a good relationship with anyone associated with the Crown Prince.
