Heidi and the Lord

Chapter 116: Sibling and cousin- Part 3

In the West empire of Bonelake, Heidi sat on the hay filled ground to pet the lamb that she had found tied near the pole with the rest of the flock of sheep. It was the youngest out of the whole lot.

“Milady,” it was the butler who had come to fetch her on his master’s orders, “Lord Nicholas requests your presence in the study room. Mr. Lawson and Lady Venetia have arrived few moments ago,” at the names Heidi stopped petting the lamb and retrieved back her hand.

“Okay. Thank you for letting me know,” Heidi thanked him and saw him looking at the lamb, “Stanley? Everything alright?” she asked him.

“Yes, milady. Shall we?” he asked her and they both walked into the mansion, towards the study room.

When Heidi arrived, Venetia, Warren and Nicholas were sitting on the couch without a word in silence. She didn’t know Venetia was going to visit the Rune mansion along with Warren. Now that she wasn’t going to marry Warren due to the soul bond with Nicholas, there was no reason for her to worry about her future with the vampiress but thewoman still made her uncomfortable with her presence with her narrowed eyes that were concentrated on her now.

And then there was Warren. After Mr. Rufus had revealed to her about Warren knowing about Nicholas and her, she didn’t know what to say. Taking the spare seat which was next to him, she sat down wondering why she had been called.

“Heidi,” and she turned to the vampiress to listen to her, “The council’s hands are full with the current conflict that is going in the Empire. But that doesn’t mean we have the time to slack when it comes to yours and Warrens wedding. In less than a month you and Warren will be married. I have already asked my tailor to come and visit you here so that we can begin to start stitching out the dresses you will need for that day. And please do not alter anything. All you will have to do is stand and let the man do his work.”

“Yes, Lady Venetia,” Heidi obliged, pressing her lips after she replied to see Warren look elsewhere while Nicholas sat there with a small smile. It seemed that apart from the three of them, Venetia had no idea as to what was going on behind the scenes.

The remaining time Heidi spent her time listening to Venetia as the woman wanted to have a traditional marriage for her son, Warren. Getting wed to a vampire felt more tedious than a normal human as it seemed to have several different proceedings before the actual matrimony took place. She wondered if Nicholas and her would have something similar to it.

After spending a good amount of hour in educating Heidi on what and what not to do by Venetia, Lady Lawson went ahead with Nicholas to talk about the council while leaving both Warren and Heidi by themselves. The room was way to quiet, so quiet that she could hear the sound of clock which was on the other side of the room.

“How’s your studies going with the butler?” Heidi heard Warren ask her.

“It’s been going well,” she replied before silence fell over them, “He taught me most of the things I could learn in this short time. I have started to study by myself now. I wouldn’t want to bother him after all he has the mansion duties.”

“If you want me to assign you a governess I will be happy to do that,” she shook her head at his words.

“That’s alright. I don’t think I am fond of governess. I will be fine by myself,” in an effort to continue the conversation, Heidi wondered if she spoke more than necessary as the previous governess was recommended by his mother.

“There’s a soiree, two days from now . Would you like to come with me?”
