Chapter 46. Reuben Morrison Is Here

On her way to the dining room, while walking beside Peter, Roxanne did not know what she was to expect. She had been told how to address each and every member of the royal house, and to be on her best behavior. Yet, she found it hard to shake off the nerve wracking feeling in her stomach.

No matter how confident she tried to appear, she couldn’t deny the fact that she was nervous.

As they approached the door of the dinning room, Peter walked ahead of her. The large mahogany doors were spread apart from each other, ushering them into the exquisite and luxurious room with a long rectangular table standing still in the middle.

Roxanne’s eyes drank in the sight of the place. From the antique chandeliers on the roof, to the brown silk draperies, portraits and iron sculptures, everything about the room screamed English aristocracy.

Peter turned to her, and took one step forward into the room. Roxanne felt her heart pound against her chest, threatening to burst out.
