Annoyance

Hermione sat together with her family at the dining. Since they had moved away from the manor under the command of the Queen mother, she hadn't been herself.

Lulu had come with her while Oliver stayed behind, watching over the manor.

It was a bright day to observe the faces of everyone and learn about them but she cared the least.

Her head hung low as she gently drank the broth in her bowl.

Only she knew of her desire to leave their midst. To retreat to the new chamber and lay on the bed doing nothing.

Her mind was currently occupied by Sinclair Walter and what the woman had done. She wasn't going to forgive the woman for killing her fish.

She shouldn't be whining over a fish, but she was because it meant a lot to her.

It was her first catch together with Lloyd.

Hermione was annoyed with herself that she was unable to protect it.

She had to keep Pearl safe, she thought inwardly.
