The horses came to a stop by a set of blue-green colored glass
doors. The way the light shined off them, they almost looked like seawater. The
gardens here were the most incredible I’ve ever seen. Flowers from all the
seasons bloomed and thrived together. I slid off my horse, still marveling at
the beauty around me. As tired as I was, I just wanted to stay right here and
admire the view.
Randle came around to my side of the horses, a knowing grin on
his face. I could hear the others climbing out of the carriage as I looked
around wistfully one more time.
“Your quarters are ready for you. You will have two rooms. They
are adjoining. So you may meet and settle without worry of others,” Randle said
as he approached me. He placed his hands on both of my shoulders and leaned in
to kiss my cheek, a high honor from a fairy of royal blood. “Do not drink the
wine,” he whispered, barely audible, against my skin.”
“Thank you again for everything you’ve done,” I said with a
smile and a slight nod. Everyone made their way over to us.
“It is my honor, Vanessa. Now, I have business to tend to. Dex
will escort you from here.”
