Coup d'état (3)

The next morning after leaving Cohnal's residence, Lady Delju made her way home to freshen up before going to go see Mano.

Nervous at how she could convince him to spend the night at her home, Delju took extra hour to work up the nerves to go see him.

In his office, Mano was looking over documents concerning the clan when knocking was heard at the door.

"Come in."

Delju shyly poked her head in the office before walking fully into the room.

Examining Mano's face she saw that he wasn't an angry or foul mood this morning, thankful, she quickly hurried over to get the task over with.

Remembering the last time she saw him was when Prince Ailwin was breaking her fingers, she discreetly hid them away from his sight. She was afraid that he might remember her and Sienna's scheme if he saw them again, which wouldn't help with her plan.
