Neera frowned as she stared at him; "The maid you sent to call me. Why are you acting surprised?"
She was getting angry. If all this was a ploy to get her to spend more time with his not working.
"No, I did no such thing. Who called you?"
Okay, now she had had enough; "Alright, since you didn't ask for me, I'll be on my way;"
Neera tried to stand up but Axel stood up almost immediately to stop her from leaving and he mistakenly kicked the wine up in her hand and it splashed on her dress.
"Shit!"
Neera cursed as she stared at her white dress that was stained red with wine.
How would she return to the king's chambers looking like this? If the king saw her, how would she explain herself?
Axel dropped his wine cup on the table and turned to her;
"I'm so sorry. Let me help you clean it;" he said, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, he tried to wipe the stain.
