Where did that voice come from?
Lionel quickly looked around the room. His eyes landed on the bird that was flying wildly around the tent, trying to avoid Diana's hands. As it chirped, he heard the same voice again.
For a second, Lionel froze, and slowly his eyes widened.
Oh… shit.
"Diana, stop!" Lionel suddenly pushed himself up from the bed. His voice came out rushed as he raised a hand.
Diana immediately halted when Lionel shouted. She was startled by his tone. She quickly turned back to him.
"My lord!" she rushed to his side. "Are you alright? You shouldn't be moving so suddenly!" Her hands hovered near him, unsure where to check first. "I didn't know how a bird got inside. I was j-just… No… stay still, I will chase it out—"
"Stop, Diana." Lionel quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Diana paused because of that.
"My lord? What do you mean?" she turned to him again, confused.
"It's fine," Lionel let out a sigh. "You don't have to chase it."
"What?"
