Endurance- Part 1

When Heidi went down for lunch to the dining room, she was told by Stanley that she would be the only one having food as the lord had gone out and wouldn't be back until the time of evening. She felt a little relieved hearing it as she didn't know how to react and behave around the lord after seeing him kill a man with little to no remorse. As dinner approached, she visited the dining room to see the head of the chair empty which meant the lord wasn't joining her for dinner either. At noon she had been somewhat thankful but right now she felt a little empty and out of space. The maid walked through the double doors with a tray to place it in front of her. She stirred the food with her fork, lost in her own thoughts.

"What is the matter, Lady Heidi? You hardly touched your food since you arrived at the table," Stanley noted, who stood on the other side of the table.
