Livia merely rolled her eyes and picked up her skirts and continued on her path. Serena increased her steps and mirrored the stern expression on Livia's face and huffed.
"We need to have Darius in the right spirits with absolutely no distractions, including you," Livia replied in an irritated tone.
Serena stumbled and kept her pace with Livia, it rubbed her off in a weird way that she was considered a distraction to Darius. Did they think she practiced malicious magic or something of that sort?
"I see," Serena said to chase away the silence between them.
Their boots echoed in the awkward silence, Serena was deep in her thoughts and Livia on the other hand was reviewing the course of action that she and a few of the other council members had gone over the day before.
