After an hour of going around looking whether everything was perfectly done and completed apart from the kitchen, Rhiannon sighed in relief and looked at everything with a smile on her face feeling an accomplishment for what she had done.
“Can some of you take the breakfast to their rooms?” Rhiannon asked as she walked back to the kitchen.
“That can also do so that they can start to get ready after eating instead of waiting for them to freshen up and come to eat breakfast then freshen up once more when they get ready while they can still first eat then freshen up as they get ready immediately,” Bancy said as she checked her watch feeling that they didn’t have a lot of time on their side.
“Yeah,” Rhiannon replied to her as that were her thoughts when she was instructed for breakfast to be taken to their rooms.
Her brother-in-law had also arrived late at night as they had to be the host and couldn’t afford to be late.
The others followed her instructions and took the breakfast to their rooms while Rhiannon also went to hers so that she could eat the breakfast with Octavius knowing that he might continue sleeping claiming that men didn’t need a lot of time preparing themselves.
“At least am relieved to see that you are awake,” Rhiannon said when she opened the door and saw Octavius seated.
Octavius chuckled when he heard her words and shook his head. “I was asleep and they are the ones who woke me up.”
Rhiannon was stunned and wondered why his voice sounded sexy but after realizing it was due to him just waking up, she wondered why she had not noticed it in the morning when they were speaking after remembering how eager and restless she had been to leave, she shook her head and blamed herself.
“Attracted to me this morning? I don’t mind if we go to sleep,” Octavius said making Rhiannon glare at him.
“It's already 9:20, we have forty minutes to have breakfast then we start preparing ourselves. We don’t want your other family members to find us not ready, right?” she said making Octavius roll his eyes but took her hand and made her sit on his lap.
“Octavius, I am serious. We shouldn’t waste time,” Rhiannon said anxiously.
The fact that high-up people were coming to the banquet didn’t help although some of them were her servants. To her, although they were her servants, she had to show respect and welcome them as they were supposed as the public didn’t know that she was their young miss.
She was afraid that she might miss something and ruin her mother-in-law's big day and she didn’t want that.
“Everything is going to be fine and you don’t need to worry yourself too much and you know that,” Octavius said as he kissed her hoping to reassure her as he could feel her panic.
She was stunned and looked at Octavius and she didn’t expect that he could see her nervousness.
What she didn’t know was that the others were also anxious as with Rhiannon’s face known to the public, the war with the enemy would be as good as started as her mother’s enemies were alerted.
“Thank you,” she said as she pecked his lips before escaping from his embrace making Octavius laugh.
“Okay, we can eat then we get ready,” he said as he didn’t want to push his luck and make her angry once more.
They ate as they talked about who was expected to come and what their families do as Rhiannon needed to know some of those wealthy families so as not to make a fool of herself.
They later had a knock on the door making them frown as they wondered who that was.
“You guys are eating your breakfast as if you are eating seafood,” Anabelle said as she opened the door walking in without waiting to be welcomed inside.
“You didn’t for us to reply whether you can get in.,” Octavius said as he looked at his sister coldly.
“I just knocked to inform you that I was coming in so that if you are about to do anything dirty, you can stop,” Anabelle said as he walked to them not feeling guilty for disrupting them as the servants had also disrupted them as she knew that it was Rhiannon’s order.
“It's already 10:20 yet you guys are eating as if the time has paused and is waiting for you,” Anabelle said shocking the two they had not realized that time had passed too quickly but after thinking of how they were eating while talking, they remained silent as they knew it was better not to speak in front of Anabelle.
“Octavius, why don’t you freshen up as I bring your suit up here? After you are done, Anabelle and I will get ready here thus we need you to hurry up and leave,” Rhiannon said.
Although they could have used Anabelle’s room, she didn’t want that as she had her heirlooms with her and she didn’t trust other people apart from Octavius although he also had never gotten a chance to see everything in the box.
“Okay,” Octavius said as he understood her very well even if she didn’t say much.
Annabelle looked at the two as she wondered what was on their minds. Although she was curious, she didn’t dare ask anything afraid that she might know something that she wasn’t supposed to and could trauma her for a long time.
“Annabelle, is your husband getting ready?” Rhiannon asked her as she dragged her out of the room.
Although Anabelle was still wearing her pajamas, she didn’t feel awkward walking in them as there were no customers.
“Yeah,” she replied shortly.
“Okay, let’s go and get their suits as they are in the styling room,” Rhiannon said shocking Anabelle.
“Wait, you prepared outfits for us?”
