Chapter 31: Knowledge is power

Briefly, after our ridiculous 'good morning' exchange, the maidservants knocked and checked if I was awake. After that, they helped me bathe and get dressed to look fancy.

From just across the door where Samael went in, there was another door leading to a small room. Now that it was morning, I could see everything clearly.

Once I'm done and again staring at the stranger I've been seeing last night in the mirror, one of the maidservants said politely,

"The Duke summons you to join him for breakfast, My Lady."

"Uh… alright." I nodded, and they led the way.

When we arrived at the grand dining hall, they already served various dishes on the table. Maidservants, along with Fabian, were standing not far away from the table.

I pursed my lips upon setting my eyes on the man sitting at the end of the long, rectangular table: Samael. I saw him smile as he slowly stood from his seat.
