Chapter 408: Live For Yourself, Be Happy
Lyria's POV
I frowned at his question, searching my memory for the particular evening he meant.
"I-I am not certain..." I began.
Then I stopped.
"I d-do," I said with wide eyes. "I r-remember."
A gentle smile touched his lips.
And, for reasons I could not quite explain, it made me suddenly conscious of how near he was.
He turned towards Bridget and Brayden.
"Would you be so kind as to indulge us with a few moments of privacy?"
Bridget's eyes narrowed immediately.
"Privacy, Your Grace?" She was extremely suspicious. "What precisely do you intend to accomplish with these few moments?"
Brayden reached for her cloak before she could continue.
"Come, Bridget."
She turned towards him in disbelief.
"Come where?"
"Anywhere that is not here."
He gave her a look which plainly suggested that he had no intention of entertaining further questions.
"We shall grant His Grace the privacy he has so courteously requested."
