Elara sat at the edge of her bed with a neutral expression as she gave instructions to one of the servants. The scent of daisies filled the air, creating a relaxing effect on whoever inhaled it.
"You may leave," she instructed.
The female servant bowed deeply and left the room without lifting her head.
Elara's expression broke from its neutral state the moment the door clicked shut. She fell onto her bed with a bounce and let out a groan.
She had spent the rest of the day pressuring Kaelen to tell her what exactly had happened in the town, but he had been strangely secretive about the whole thing.
After much insistence, she had only managed to get a description of the physical features, limited to his general build and the mask he wore.
That was enough for her. Besides, she couldn't bear to look at his face for a second longer, so she dismissed him to the other rooms in the large house.
