Chapter 203
“Sorry? Why are you sorry?”
“I didn’t even think about being up in your personal space or if that would even bother you, I’m
sorry.”
“Umm, Midge, you saved us from falling, don’t ever be sorry for that. And no one who has looked at
you or been around you would ever be mad about you crawling all over them, brand or not.” He
winks at me.
“I just didn’t even think about anyone not being comfortable with being that close to someone else.
My friends and I back home were just really tight like that. Just tell me if I do something that bothers
you, alright?”
“Uh, you helped us win, even with the rest of our team completely distracted and not being helpful
at all, we won. You could tell me to wear a dress and I probably would if you could guarantee that
we achieve our goal.” Wyatt laughs and we all join in.
“You like to wear dresses huh? Just another piece of information to store away for later.” Lillian
wiggles her eyebrows at him.
“Shut up.” He tries looking angrily at her, but it doesn’t last and we all end up laughing at him.
We are wrapping up when a very official looking guy walks into the canteen and everyone goes
quiet. The three piece gray suit is very out of place here with everyone in training gear. He looks
stern, like he’s on a mission and takes everything way too seriously. I wonder who’s in trouble now.
“I need to speak with Skylar.” He looks around the room, clearly not knowing who he’s looking for. “I
have a message from Luna Queen Anne.” He continues to look around.
I stand up slowly and move towards him. What could the Luna Queen have for me? I’ve only been
here two days. I make it to him by the door, hoping that he will walk out into the hallway to talk to
me. No such luck, figures.
“I’m Skylar, sir.” I shift a little closer to the door to hint at wanting to step out, but he basically blocks
my way with his large frame.
“Luna Queen Anne would like you to be at the Royal packhouse Saturday morning at 6am for your
fitting. Someone will be here to pick you up at 5:30 and you will have breakfast with the Luna Queen
before. She also wanted me to give you this.” He hands me a very fancy looking thick envelope.
“We will see you this weekend Miss Skylar.” With that he turns and leaves me just standing there a
little stunned.
I walk back to the table with my friends. “What did he want?” Lillian doesn’t hesitate to ask.
“To give me a message from Luna Queen Anne.” I flash the envelope at them.
“Well?” She looks at me expectantly.
“Well, what?”
“Oh, for Goddess sake, what does it say? The suspense is killing me. The Luna Queen really
doesn’t have much to do with warriors in training.”
“Oh, uh, I haven’t opened the envelope yet, but I have to go to the Royal packhouse Saturday
morning to meet with her.”
“Seriously, open the damn thing!”
I smile at her excitement and open the steel gray envelope and pull out a thick card folded in two. It
has the royal seal embossed on the front and the edges have a fancy frey making it look
handmade. Actually, it probably is come to think of it. When I open it the first thing I notice is the
scrolling elegant handwriting. This woman obviously puts a lot of thought and effort into her notes.
