Perdita's face was quick to flush as a pink hue appeared on her cheeks. She tried hard to bite back the blush threatening to spill from her lips which she woefully failed to do.
"Ahh," Sthena dramatically exclaimed. He brought his hand to his face as if to shield himself from the invisible brightness coming from Perdita. He remarked, "You emit so much brightness, My Lady, that I feel as though it would consume me whole."
The small blush on Perdita's cheeks as she turned more embarrassed than she was already because of the way Sthena was behaving towards her widened, and not to add, in the presence of Emily.
Emily on the other hand dared not raise her head to see what was happening. If it was possible, she would have stopped her ears from listening to the conversation between the King and her new Mistress.
"Seems like someone woke up on the right side of the bed today," Perdita remarked in an attempt to evade Sthena's cheekiness.
