Bren, Adriana and Eric Lorenno had been taken to separate quarters to be tended to by different servants. The king's personal eunuch had made sure that they were very well cared for. Almost too well, Adriana thought.
It had been a while since she'd seen Bren, and she was beginning to long for him. The serving girls kept on coming up with new ways to make her ‘comfortable’ with each passing minute. She wondered why they didn't understand, despite the many times she'd told them she was fine.
As soon as she saw her chance, Adriana had escaped from the quarters she'd been assigned to, and she set off to find Bren at once. During her search she had bumped into Eric Lorenno, and to her surprise, he was doing the exact same thing she was. Looking for Bren. Hence, they continued the search for him together.
