The waiter led us to the upper floor and pointed us each to the rooms, which were situated opposite each other. Before we entered, though, Sulin turned to me and spoke with that impassive look of hers.
"I think Cade and I should be in the same room."
Harter Hammerfeld turned and raised his brows.
"Wait, what? Why? How does that make any sense?"
Sulin nodded, and explained.
"You're a young Lord, of the great Hammerfeld's family, I think it is improper for you to stay with a woman much older than you and who has no family ties to you."
The Attendant glanced between me, Sulin and Harter Hammerfeld.
"Well, the young lady has a fair point."
"Who asked for your opinion?!"
The Attendant was taken aback, and quickly allowed himself an apologetic bow.
"Oh, I'm sorry if I overstepped."
He handed both keys to me and then walked away, leaving just us three in the hallway.
Now, this little guy was glaring at me with unhidden contempt.
'Boy, face the person that made the suggestion.'
