âDoris!â
âYour Highâhng!â@@novelbin@@
I turned toward the door, then immediately ducked my head.
Tristan had burst out of his room without even buttoning up his shirt properly.
No, worseâjudging from the water droplets still clinging to his chest, he had run out in the middle of washing upâ¦
That was it. That was all I saw before I slammed my gaze downward.
âYour Highness, perhaps you should⦠finish dressing properly first? Did I come at an inconvenient time?â
âThere is no such thing as an inconvenient time for you to visit me! I was merely in the middle of disinfecting my wounds.â
ââ¦Excuse me?â
If thatâs not an inconvenient time, then what is?
What, were you playing a board game while treating your wounds like some legendary general?
âThere was no need for you to interrupt your treatment!â
âIt was just a simple disinfection. I didnât want to make my guest wait⦠especially the one who came to visit me.â
Wow. How touching.
This coming from the same man who had left me waiting for ages after the hunting tournament? The irony was astounding.
