Chapter 134 Another traitorous thing

Another night of rest followed by food was all Doris needed to feel okay again. Or, close enough to okay. She was required to take it easy for at least another day and she couldn’t complain about that. After the the days of riding and then immediately falling sick, her body needed her to take it easy before it collapsed entirely.

Desperately, she wanted to forget the dream that kept trying to come back to corrupt her mind whenever she closed her eyes. Blood coated the walls around her all over again as if she was still in the room. What did her dream mean? Was it some sort of warning, or just another ridiculous scene that came from her deepest fears as William said?

It wouldn’t make sense for it to be a warning, William would never give up the crown for her and she wouldn’t want him to. She didn’t see herself as a bride any time soon and Beth would have thrown a parade if she knew that Doris was marrying a prince

-so what did it all mean?

Perhaps there was something deeper and darker inside her that had its own concerns.

Doris got up from her disastrous bed and changed out of her sweaty clothes. She wasn’t sure where William had gone, but she was relieved to have a moment alone especially gayer the dream of him.

Cleaned up and somewhat fresh, she crept down the hall and peeked in on the room next to her own. Enzo laid in a deep sleep with a bit of sweat gleaming on his forehead. She heard him screaming in the middle of the night, she wondered if he had already passed through his wretched dreams or if he was still in the middle of one. William had said he was much sicker than she was, perhaps he would be out another day because of it. Silently, she closed the door again.

The stairs creaked under her feet as she carefully made her way down the stairs. The house was quiet with sleep and sickness, she wondered if anyone else had fallen ill while she was out. Were his guards okay?

William sat at the kitchen table with his head bent over a book of some sort. His eyes snapped up to her the second she stepped further into the room. They were completely alone, surprisingly. It wasn’t even night out yet. “You shouldn’t be up.” He said and closed what he was reading. Doris moved to sit across from him.
