Leroy pulled an unwilling Katie to a side along with another guard, tying the rope around her body to the chair. She felt the rope dig into her skin, to prick her uncomfortably. She felt her open her mouth, her eyes anxiously looking at Alexander while his gaze had shifted to look at the wall in front of him.
When the council members had left, saying they would be back tomorrow again, the Lady spoke,
"Aren't you happy dear, to finally be united with the man you love?" She asked with a hint of mock in it.
Neither Katie nor did Lord Alexander uttered a word, choosing to stay quiet. They heard footsteps heading towards the room and Lord Norman appeared at the door.
"Lord Alexander," Lord Norman greeted him cheerfully, "I hope you will find our services to your taste. I have asked my people to take special care of you," a smile quirked upon Lord Alexander's lips.
"Thank you, Lord Norman. I appreciate your hospitality but you don't have to trouble yourself. I'll be fine without it."
