The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 185

{Book 2} Chapter 24 – Launch And More ~Amelia~

We arrived at the dining room, and I felt a bit shy. It was hard to feel comfortable amid the rich and powerful. Seeing everyone at the table made me feel I was aiming too high regarding Leo.

Leo led me to a seat, and we both sat down.

I did not know what to say or do that would not make me come across as rude, so I kept my head down and looked at the empty plate in front of me.

“I love your dress, Amelia,” I heard Queen Tamia’s voice say, and I looked in her direction.

It was tough loosening up there because I did not know if it were right that I stared into her eyes.

“You should relax; we are all friends here; the formalities end at the king’s hall,” She said, and everyone laughed.

They were not mocking me; I could see that much, which made me relax.

“Your eyes are like the moon. They look gorgeous,” Lady Linda said, smiling at me, making me relax completely.

“She is a keeper, Leo,” Queen Tamia said, and I knew I was blushing at that moment.

The women helped me to relax. Food was served, and we ate in high spirits.

They had conversations that made me laugh, and Leo kept his hand on my thigh under the table.

It wasn’t as dreadful as I thought, and I was grateful the women made it easy.

“I will be heading back to Mountain tonight because of security matters,” Leo finally announced, and everyone was silent.

“You just got here, Leo,” Lord Marcel said, and Leo nodded.

“Yes, I know, but I have pending issues in the east. I will return when I have solved it,” Leo said.

“We were just getting to know Amelia. Hope you return sooner,” Queen Tamia said eagerly, and Leo shook his head.

“I will be leaving her here, based on our discussion. I will return,” Leo said, and I wondered what he had discussed with Queen Tamia. The woman stopped smiling and looked at me.
