POV ???.:
A long wooden table in the middle of a large chamber was brimming with food and drinks.
The room was brightly lit, with crystals growing on the chandelier hanging from a tall vaulted ceiling and the light passing through large vitrage windows.
All of the seats were vacant except for two. A tall blonde man in a silver embroidered doublet was sitting in one chair, loudly slurping from a chalice, the wine flowing down his chin.
He put down the chalice and grinned towards the second occupant, "Why do I feel like you don't want to see me? I travelled for weeks just to visit you."
A young woman with long black hair wearing an eye-catchy red dress with golden flowers embroidered on it glared back at him and spoke with palpable disdain, "I know it is your work! So don't try to look so innocent!"
"My?! Don't be ridiculous. Why would I want to hurt you, Tanya? I love you."
"I already told you I don't want you!"
