Chapter 69

She glanced at the clothes the muald had brought when she came to inform her regarding breakfast. She had wanted to ask Jake to bring her some from her room at the Academy, but the maid insisted she choose from the ones she brought.

Without another option, she changed into a maxi knitted long dress which had a v neckline and was of mude color. It was the most comfortable of the clothes and it would look not too formal, but not too casual as well. She was not at the Academy where she would usually wear her uniform, and this dress was perfect, as it was not tight around her abdomen where 3 of the gunshot wounds were. What was weird was that they did not bring shoes to her, but a pair of fluffy indoor slippers.

She did not say anything about them, but the maid explained that it was necessary for her to be comfortable. It would not be a problem if she wore them.

Once she was ready, the maid knocked on the door and asked for permission to enter.

“Are you sure you are alright enough to go and eat in the dining room Miss Blair? His highness said to ask you again. Please do not force yourself, we can bring the food to your room. The petite beautiful maid asked with a small smile, she was enchanted by the beautiful tall woman in front of her.

The clothes that his highness had picked himself personally from a catalogue fitted her well. Perhaps they could finally have a Luna, she sincerely hoped. His highness had never had a female stay inside. the palace before, much less take care of one personally like he had been doing with miss Blair. Every day she had been unconscious, he would visit and inquire about her wellbeing.

They even caught him touching her forehead or her cheek, and looking at her once or twice when they entered her room. He also repeatedly instructed them to take proper care of her and keep the room warm enough, and even made the doctor come and check up on her several times during each

day.

It was no wonder he had been beside her when she finally woke up. For the three days she had been moved from the hospital to the palace, every moment that he did not spend working was spent near her. He had even brought some documents that he needed to read in her room and worked from

there when he could.

She and the other maids already knew of the existence of the female alpha since Celia took the admittance test, and had admired her strength. With the opportunity to care for her and see her up close they now admired also her beauty and called her

retly the sleeping beauty and wondered what she would be like awake. They were also curious if only for the fact that his highness showed so much care towards her.

When they came and delivered dinner, after they were notified she had woken up, Celia had completely charmed them. She did not sunile much, but she was also not arrogant and she spoke softly to them despite the power she possessed. Her mild personality, even though she had a poker face and the aura of an alpha, was soothing. She had even tried to clean the table herself, but of course they would not let her. She was a guest and also a patient they informed her and said it was their duty.

No stories available.

Unbeknownst to Celia, she had a growing fan club and the maids from the palace, were avid

members.

After assuring the maid that she indeed was well enough to eat in the dining room, she was led through the hallways, until she reached a double door. The dining room was closer to the guest room than she had previously thought, as they only made a couple of turns before reaching it. She studied about the castle at school in e past as it had a 500 years old history, and knew it was immense so she expected the walk would take a longer period of time.

"We are here Miss Celia!" The maid informed her smiling.

Celia had tried to make the maid call her by her first name, but she only succeeded in making her say her first name preceded by "miss".

His highness expressly chose your room to be closer to his personal quarters and thus closer to the dining room, so you will not have to walk a lot.” She continued saying cheerful.

Celia nodded to show she was listening. Her face was as expressionless as always, but her heart unwillingly skipped a beat.

She shyly walked in the room and took a seat on the chair the maid had indicated. It looked like she was the first one there and, glancing at the table, unfortunately 2 tableware sets were arranged.

She could not even sigh, as the maid stood a little further in the rear waiting.

She did not start eating, it would not have been polite to do so without the host, and just placed her hands on her lap and patiently waited.

Soon the double door opened and in came Salas. He was not dressed in a black suit like all the time she saw him before, including yesterday, but in comfortable home clothes which consisted of a nude v neck sweater, black pants and black casual shoes.
