Geneva sighed defeatedly and dragged her chair into one corner of the room, sitting on it. "Rosetta, put up your barrier around me. Duke Vance will never believe me otherwise."
Rosetta glanced at Vance, asking for his permission. Vance nodded without missing a beat. Not even questioning his decision, Rosetta directly recited an incantation for building a magical barrier around Geneva. The other three witches who did not know what was happening patiently waited until either of them started to explain.
Even after the barrier was up, Vance walked over towards her and made sure the barrier was properly created before he asked them to continue. Rosetta turned to Melva and rolled her eyes, Melva holding back her laughter at Rosetta's exasperation. She could relate with Rosetta.
