The Lux Estate
"How is she?" Victoria asked one of the maids who had been standing outside of Dorothy's room. She glanced at the plate in the maid's hand.

Victoria met Jeames's eyes. He had been standing by the door without saying a word.

Almost immediately the smell of something burning assaulted her senses. She frowned.
"What— Dorothy?" she looked at the woman kneeling, muttering words that she could not understand. "Dorothy?"
"Someone! Jeames go ahead and call the physician and the knights!"
This time, Jeames followed her orders. He disappeared and came back with the knights.
"Take her to bathe…" Victoria said.
"No!" Dorothy's voice sounded so low it almost sounded as if it was the voice of a man. "Do not dare touch me!"
