84 Bond- The Intimate Form Of Union

When Leeora and Cornelia returned to the King's chamber, the silver-haired elf was still guarding the door, though he did look bored, leaning against the wall. Seeing the two women, he understood the King had permitted them to see the human girl. 

He greeted them with a light nod and opened the door for them to enter the King's chamber.

Cornelia and Leeora were welcomed by darkness as soon as they stepped inside the chamber as all the windows were closed and the thick dark-colored curtains were drawn close, stopping the sunlight from entering the chamber.  Their eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness even after the door behind them shut close.
