Mini Sunset
Bel found herself inside the main castle before she realized she hadn't returned the orb to Davien. She looked up and glared at the light orb glowing ever so brightly. How did she forget? It was like walking around with a mini sunset. It was beautiful, she would be the first to admit.
As if sensing her gaze, the light orb dropped a little lower, did a little spin, and returned to just floating overhead. Bel's face broke into a smile despite how she was feeling.
She couldn't go back to return it now. She would take the magic out of it and probably tell a guard to do that. She didn't want to interrupt whatever that conversation was about. She thought she was rude, but she would need a lesson or two from Alexander. She was hating this marriage more and more.
How convenient for Davien that he showed up at the right time? She hadn't been curious; she was almost certain that no matter what his reasons were, she still wouldn't want to marry him.
