Esme's POV
"You two!" Uncle yelled from the outside.
He groaned tiredly. It made me chuckle. I must've grown more insufferable than he remembered.
"Fine. I'll use it a bit." He compromised. "But you better take care of that scar on your head since you don't want to truthfully tell me how it came about."
I looked sideways. I had assumed that the Duke had met with my uncle before, but it seemed he hadn't.
"I will. I'd be off to send a letter to Levine then."
I held onto Ritch and we left the room, just before Uncle gave a rather negative approval.
Ritch and I reappeared under a palmgrove. That was really close to the delivery office. How did he know this place? "You have been moving around recently, haven't you? Knowing places and all."
"I have always known this place. I have been watching over you, Mistress."
Right. I didn't ask how long since Ruby had claimed it was recently. "Wait here then. I'd send a quick letter to Levine and we'd return to the Haven."
