Chapter 40 Dinner with his stepmother
CA SSANDRA
Erika was preparing to leave for the evening when we heard a knock at the door. It was the end of the day, so I was surprised by the sound.
Who was there at this hour?
“I’ll get it,” Erika said in a helpful tone, and before I could stop her and do it myself, the maid went to the chamber door. On the other side stood-a se rvant dressed in the royal family’s colors.
“Hello,” I addressed him, and I took a step forward. “Can I help you?”
“Lady Adalyn and Mistress Margaret sent me to deliver a message,” the se rvant said politely. “They wish to invite you to dinner, Miss Ca ssandra, as a token of their gratitude for curing the Alpha King and Prince Marco.”

Adalyn and Margaret wanted something from me, that much was certain, and I knew they were both capable of going to great lengths to get their way, sol needed to cooperate.
“Can you watch Finnick for just a while longer?” I requested and Erika nodded wholeheartedly.
“Of course, Miss Ca ssandra,” she said, and then she gestured forward. “Now, go along. It’s best not to keep your company waiting.”
