Myra was completely indulged in reading the book, that she didn't notice someone knocking her room door. After a while, the door opened itself revealing Alvin.
"Milady?" he called out, startling Myra.
"Huh?", she turned to look at the butler, placing the book on her lap.
"His Lord is expecting you downstairs for dinner".
Myra nodded, before placing a bookmark on the current page she was reading and put both her legs down on the floor. She had lost count of time as she had been reading the history book for past two hours now and didn't notice that it was almost half past eight in the evening.
Getting up from the armchair, she walked towards the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror, to check if her hair had turned messy. Once satisfied with her appearance, she followed the butler out.
It had been three days since she last saw the Lord and Myra was feeling slightly nervous about it.
Reaching the dining room, Myra saw four people occupying the large rectangular table. Lord Theodore was seated at the head of the table. The brown haired man to the Lord's right and the blonde man to the left. While the woman was seated next to the Blonde guy.
Alvin announced Myra's arrival and that had all the four heads turn towards her, making her cheeks turn pink.
She slightly curtsied at the Lord and smiled at the rest of the members present there. Alvin pulled out a chair next to the brown haired man and helped her sit.
Myra internally sighed, if only she had known that his Lord's guests would still be there, then she would have insisted on having her dinner up in the room.
"Hello" said the blonde man sweetly with a wide smile, looking at her.
Before she could respond to the blonde man the brown haired guy turned in his seat slightly to look at her with curiosity.
"Who are you?" he asked, analysing her.
Myra looked at the Lord and he smiled at her. Licking her lips nervously, "umm.. I-I am Myra" she said.
The short haired woman sitting opposite to her, smiled encouragingly. "Hello Myra, I am George" she said, extending her hands towards Amyra.
Myra lifted her butt a bit, leaning forward she took her hands and shook it. "Nice to meet you Myra" said the blonde man next to the women, "I am Devon"
She mumbled a 'hello' back to him.
The guy next to her sat quietly without introducing himself. "He is Noah, by the way" said the man named Devon instead. Amyra just nodded with a polite smile.
Myra couldn't help admiring the elegant dinning room setting. On the center of the table, there was a big flower arrangement and candle holders were placed with lit candles.
The first course arrived. The footmen, finely dressed in their uniforms of navy blue and white carried trays full of delicacies into the dinning room. One man neatly arranged the plates and spoons in front of Myra and placed the food items on her plate one by one from the trays.
Picking up a piece of roasted lamb with a fork, Myra put it in her mouth and momentarily closed her eyes savoring the favor.
"Is the food to your liking?", asked Devon. Myra opened her eyes to look at Devon and nodded, "Yes, Thank you".
"If I had known that you have a beautiful guest at home, I would have returned back a week earlier leaving Noah and George to deal with things there", Devon said, looking at the Lord.
Theodore rolled his eyes at his younger cousin and continued eating his food, without a comment.
"Where are you from, Myra?" asked George, her red eyes looking at Amyra.
Georgina was a pure-blooded vampire and Theodore's close friend and advisor. While Noah was a trueborn demon and the lord's right hand man.
All the three of them lived together with Theodore in the Warburton Mansion as a family, ever since he rose to the position of the Arcardian Lord.
"Fidora", answered Myra.
That had the two men exchange looks. "Weren't you in Fidora, two weeks ago?" Noah questioned Theodore.
Theodore lifted his wine glass and took a sip of the red colored liquid from it. He placed the glass back and leaned back on his chair. "Yes" he replied.
"Did you both meet there, by any chance?" Devon asked looking back and forth at both Myra and the Arcardian Lord with curiosity.
Myra pressed her lips in a thin line, remembering the rainy day when she had seen the Lord kill three people, right in front of her.
"Yes", Theo answered popping a forkful of baked potatoes into his mouth.
Devon and Noah glanced at each other, as if confirming their previous suspicions. George just did a 'I see' kind of face, nodding her head.
The rest of the dinner went on smoothly. The four of them were discussing some political issues, and then the topic changed to the Snowflakes ball that was supposed to be held in Wendyln.
Devon rubbed his palm eagerly saying, "Can't wait to see our Georgina in a gown, acting all ladylike" teasingly, putting more emphasis on her name Georgina.
George scowled, as she hated anyone addressing her by her full name. She just preferred George instead.
Noah laughed out, looking at George's face, "Yep, It's not very often that we get to see our Georgy posing as a proper woman with jewelry, gowns and all".
The scowl on George's face darkened. "Once a year to be exact", added Theodore looking at Georgina, letting out an amused chuckle.
George rolled her eyes and continued stuffing her food inside her mouth with a angry huff. While Myra just sat quietly listening to their interactions with a smile. All the four of them seemed to be very close and she felt like an intruder sitting there.
"Myra, You should have been to the last years snowflakes ball", started Devon, dragging her into their conversation. "It was soo much fun".
Myra just smiled, her eyes moving to meet the Lord's.
"Ah, she will be attending this year's annual ball", Theodore said fixing his eyes on hers. Noah on the other hand didn't miss to notice a glint of mischief in Theo's eyes, as he said this.
"Oh! That's great then", she heard Devon say excitedly. .
After she finished her food, Myra excused herself and retired to her room early.
Once myra was gone, Noah turned to face Lord Theodore asking, "Is she the one?".
Theodore nodded, a wide smile creeping on his face, "Yes".
George leaned forward eagerly, "Does she know?"
Theo took a deep breath before shaking his head.
Silence filled in the dining room for a few minutes and Theodore decided to break it.
"Devon", He started. "Are you planing on visiting Leonard tomorrow?"
Devon tilted his head sideways, "Yes, Why?"
"Take Amyra with you".
All the three of them looked at Theodore with a confused expression.
"Why?", asked George.
"Yeah, why?" added Noah.
"She will be staying there from now on", Theodore answered with a shrug.
