After going to the cordwainer, they got back to the palace just in time before dinner. Serena went to her room to take a bath and change her clothes. After changing, there was a knock on her door.
Serena frowned. Who could it be? she asked herself. Then her mind drifted to the king. He had said he would be back, so maybe it was him. She walked toward the door and opened it, only to come face to face with a palace guard.
"Sorry to disturb you, Lady Serena. Sir Derick requests an audience with you. You have a visitor," he relayed.
Serena frowned. I have a visitor? Who could it be? I don't know anyone here except—
She paused suddenly, her heart skipping a beat.
She nodded and stepped out of her room, following the guard closely. They soon arrived at the library. Serena took a deep breath before opening the door and stepping inside. Her eyes immediately met Arthur and Derick.
"Lord Arthur, Sir Derick, who came to visit me?" she asked.
