Both Aekeira and Emeriel paused, glancing toward the source. A female Urekai hurried toward them, and the troop parted to allow her through.

Aekeira raised an eyebrow. The soldiers had been ordered to block anyone from approaching them-friends or foes. She had seen them turn away Amie, Madam Livia, and others, but now they stepped aside with ease. The woman must be someone of importance. A mistress or a lady of considerable rank, judging by her attire and the presence of soldiers behind her. She was a bit on the thick side, her face strikingly pretty, with an air of confidence that demanded attention. Aekeira hadn't seen her before. "Emeriel?" The woman glanced at Aekeira before her gaze settled on Emeriel.

Em stepped forward. "I am Emeriel."

The woman's eyes lingered on Emeriel for a moment, studying her intently before she said. "I am Lady Morina."

Morina. Where had Aekeira heard that name before?

"The fourth ruler's bondmate." The female added..

Ah.

Aekeira inclined her head, and Emeriel followed suit. Grand Lord Ottai's bondmate had barely left the eastern wings in recent years.

Aekeira knew they lost their only son. Could that be why Lady Morina had secluded herself in their domain?

The lady reached for Emeriel's hand. "I know we were never acquainted, but I have heard so much about you-both of you. I wish we had more time to get to know each other. Unfortunately over the years, I have barely left Mabblewood." Her eyes turned sad. "I won't take up much of your time," Morina reached into the folds of her gown, retrieving three small bottles. "Take this, Emeriel." She pressed the bottles into Emeriel's hands.

Emeriel stared down at the bottles in confusion. "What...?"
