After Cian departed, Seren and Drayce returned to their chamber.
"Today, Oriana returned to the Griven guest mansion," Seren remarked.
"I was the one who suggested she return," Drayce informed her.
Seren was surprised. "Didn't we keep her because her scent was driving Prince Arlan crazy? She's still bleeding, won't it affect the Prince?"
"Let him be troubled and get used to it. It's not like he can send her away every time she bleeds," Drayce replied as he settled Seren in bed. "Don't worry about them. Arlan can handle it."
Seren nodded, then noticed the corner of Drayce's lips. "What happened? How did you get hurt?"
"Just a friendly fight between me and Arlan," Drayce shrugged.
"Did he hit you?" Seren's displeasure was evident.
Drayce nodded.
Seren's expression turned even more disapproving. "How could he...?"
