She who was supposed to be helping in the kitchen couldn't help but hang around the drawing room in fear of Lord Nicholas tattling on what she had done to the prisoners to Leonard. As good as their Lord was, Vivian had been worried that he would tell it to Leonard as they had a good relationship between them.
Until the time of night where she was serving Leonard dinner, she felt the anxiety building until she realized her master hadn't brought anything remotely close to the topic she had been anticipating in dread.
"Did you eat?"
Vivian, who had been standing not far behind Leonard in the dining room saw him looking at her with his hands holding a knife and a fork.
"I will be eating later-"
"Jan," he called the housekeeper who was in the room too.
"Yes, master Leonard," Jan appeared next to him.
