Prince Terra doesn’t follow me inside when we return from dinner. He was silent on the way back. When I turn to watch him go, he’s already headed toward his home. I can’t help but smile. He will try all his might to avoid Eldar buying me, but Eldar’s offer is the best so far.
Mother Green closes the door behind me, and I’m face to face with Mother Siri and Mother Brown. Their sly smiles tell me everything I need to know. Especially when Bjørnar winks at me as I walk past him toward my bedroom. They all knew Eldar was my mate! Their smugness is almost unbearable. They knew I was in for a pleasant surprise today. And they made the day the best they could for me.
It warms my heart. I’ve received so much love and care from everyone in the household. It wasn’t just Lady Teniya who had planned
