As I scoured the estate, I tried to remember if my fiancé had told me where he would be. Over the last week, he had spent most of his time with Prince Cade and Viorica. I hadn't seen him yet this morning, but that was due to the fact that it was still so early. My best guess was that he was still in one of the guest bedrooms. It was improper for me to visit his room, but I didn't care. I needed to speak with him before my mother interfered.
I passed by a room when I thought I heard voices coming from inside. The tearoom. But no one should have been inside. There was still several hours until tea. None of the servants would have dared to sneak off while they were at work, so it had to be one of the guests. Stepping back, I reached for the door. Then, I clearly heard the conversation.
