At Valcrez Castle
Mineah quickly brought Xenia up to the bedchamber assigned to her and Darius. Meanwhile, Darius had to go along with Nikolai to greet the Elders. As much as she wanted to go with her mate, she was aware of why he didn't bring her with him to greet the Elders. After all, the royal council of Valcrez had yet to acknowledge her as Darius's Queen.
"Will their discussion take long?" Xenia wondered as she walked up to the balcony of their shared bedchamber.
The sun had fully set, and the darkness of the night had finally set in, all except for the moonlight and the illuminating light sources coming from outside the castle. From where she was standing, she could hear the sound of running water. It was rather soothing, even if it was rather chilly at the moment.
"Come back inside, Sister. It's cold out here."
