He was lying on the bed, covered up to his chest. Most of the curtains were thrown open to usher in the sunlight, nearly blinding her with the brightness.
The sounds of the activities being carried out below sifted into the room through the open windows.
After letting her eyes take in his large and magnificent room, she finally looked at him. Really looked at him.
"Your Grace. I see you're recovering well." He was still smiling - he had been smiling long before she came in, it seemed. A lazy smiled that drew yet unnerved her.
"Andon just told me the most interesting thing." He said in a silky drawl, his eyes twinkling.
Andon lowered his face to hide his sheepish grin as he backed towards the door in case he needed to flee.
Curious, she sat at the edge of the bed and folded her hand in her lap, aware of the soft creak it made each time she adjusted her position.
"What did he tell you?" She sounded playful as well, her voice mimicking his in allure.
