"It is not as you think," Selene told Agnes.
Getting undressed to bathe meant Agnes would be the first to see the mark Xavier created.
"I am not thinking about anything, Milady. I am only your servant so there is nothing for me to say. Do you like the rose petals? I asked the butler if I could pick a few for your bath and he agreed. I think he only agreed because it was you. The maids say he has cherished the roses since he grew them," said Agnes.
"I do like them but if it is something Harold enjoys then you shouldn't pick anymore. I can do without them or buy petals from around the market. Pick out a simple dress for me but don't let it cover the mark," Selene instructed Agnes.
Agnes stopped scrubbing Selene's arm. Selene wanted to show the mark Xavier made? It was strange but who was she to question it? "I have the perfect dress in mind for it. Should I do up your hair as well?"
