Much as Therion assumed, Xyliah had never considered the prospect of marrying anyone but a man her father picked out for her. She had watched her elder siblings being paired off and married when they were in their mid-teens, much like she had found herself to be. Of course, being the youngest daughter of a Minor Lord, Xyliah had never considered she might be matched with the son of a Major Hold, even if he was the youngest son! She was a little bit enchanted with the fact that she’d outrank her elder siblings once the wedding was finalised!
“She’s a truly wonderful friend,” Xyliah replied, smiling brightly. She was pleased that Kaylira had spoken well of her; it was always nice to know that one was treasured by their friends, and while Xyliah hadn’t been raised in the cut-throat community of a major hold, she did know what it was like to have backstabbing ‘friends’. It was nice to have someone who was genuine! Sometimes Xyliah wasn’t even sure her own maid – who had been with her since they were both children – actually liked her! (She did know she loved her, though, so there was that. But love hardly equated to liking. That was okay though – sometimes she didn’t like her maid, either.)
Xyliah pouted slightly when Therion informed her that Kaylira wasn’t actually at the hold presently, but then she smiled easily when he continued. “Thank you, I will.” With that decided, Xyliah smiled and promised herself that she would not only find the woman in question to ask about Kaylira, but also to snoop through the redecorating. “May I be excused, my lord?” Xyliah asked quietly after a polite pause. It had been a long day, and she was more than ready to find out just how comfortable the large bed in her assigned rooms would be!
