“Shhh. Quiet. I don’t need the whole castle knowing, you old bat,” Abigail says looking around.

“Like they are going to miss that,” she says, flicking Abbie’s hair off her shoulder revealing the fresh mark on her neck. I burst out laughing at Abigail’s burning face.

“Like you’re any better, you think I couldn’t hear you four in the room all night, you’re just as bad as her. The entire kingdom could hear what you were doing in that room. Didn’t get a wink of sleep last night,” Marian states.

Now my face turns red with embarrassment.

“You younglings these days,” Marian says.

“Says the old bird who found the only sex shop in the city. How many batteries you go through a week?” Abigail blurts, covering her mouth, snickering.

Marian smacks her shoulder with the tea towel she was holding. Laughter makes us turn toward the kitchen entry, where we find Dakari leaning against the doorframe, watching us with a silly grin on his face.

“I bet old Marian was a real goer back in the day,” he adds.

She points a finger at him threateningly, and he takes off laughing.

Abigail and I chase after him to escape Marian as she screams threats at us.

No doubt she could probably kick all our asses. That woman is fierce.
