" That was really a close call," said Adrian as he helped Lord Harlow onto the bed and covered his legs with a blanket before turning to look at Ginny and Leilani who were sitting on the couch with their heads leaning against their knuckles, after the procession from the Imperial family and the Duke left, neither of them was able to get hold of themselves, it was to the point where Ginny still needed something to hold on to for her to stand straight.
" I was really scared you know," said Leilani with a blank look on her face as she stared at the burning brazier that was sitting at the centre of the lodge and shook her head. " I thought we were going to be executed then and there, you have no idea just how much the crown prince wants to get hold of a powerful siren like the princess, if you were found out then he would have fought a war to get you on your side."
