Chapter 72: MESSAGE.
The morning sun cast a warm, golden glow over the castle grounds, bathing everything in a soft, ethereal light. Birds sang melodious tunes, and the gentle rustling of leaves provided a serene soundtrack to the start of the day. The air was crisp and refreshing, carrying the scent of blooming flowers from the nearby gardens.
Shay walked with purposeful steps towards David's chamber, her heart fluttering with a mix of anticipation and curiosity. The earl's sudden command for the maids to direct David to his office as soon as he returned had sparked a storm of questions in her mind. What could be so urgent? Why was the earl so insistent?
As she approached David's door, her thoughts wandered to the man who had captivated her heart. David, with his piercing blue eyes and enigmatic presence, had become more than just her master. There was a tenderness in the way he spoke to her, a gentleness in his touch that made her feel cherished and protected.
