We were back in my chamber. Elara started to prepare the for dinner. I watched her reflection in the mirror and noticed that she seemed bothered. "Is everything all right, Elara?" I curiously asked.

She was startled, as if she had been suddenly brought back to reality. "I'm fine, my lady" she answered before flashing a forced smile on her face. "Is something bothering you?" I continued..

I can't afford for anyone to know what happened between Lord. Titus and me.

"He's among the few who welcomed me into the palace when I arrived," I briefly explained. I didn't try to add more details in order for me not to give away more than I should. "And you know him as?"
