~{DEBORAH'S POV}~
*
As they began setting the dining table the way I wanted, I was informed that Bernard and his sister had arrived.
I may be enemies with the king but not with the world, therefore in order to start winning this game, I had to be hospitable like I have always been.
This is where my wifely duties come in.
Henrietta was still in her room so I hadn't checked in on her yet and I didn't care how Peculiar was faring.
Who knows, she could be in the king's arms right now, kissing him to stupor.
At the thought of that, I shook my head. I didn't even know how to get mad at that. I couldn't even get mad because I didn't care anymore.
As I walked to the meeting room with Peace behind me and two other guards, I came across Thomas.
Seeing him brought a smile to my face because no matter what I had faced in the past, this man still tried to help the best way he could by trying to advise the king rightly.
But since Lauren was lost, he couldn't be advised anymore.
