Snippet #1209187

Gideon didn't halt nor slow down on his way down the large expanse of hallway around him. Elisabeth was hot on his heels and soon enough striding so close to him that their bodies brushed against each other with every single stride. She leaned over and whispered something in his ear: "Gideon, will you at least be polite next time? Honestly." she rolled her eyes, erecting her spine and continuing to walk, though moving slower than him as not to lose sight of the new servant girls he'd chosen.

The prince ignored his comrade's words, lifting both his hands and easily pushing open the tall doors that led into his chambers. His room had been cleaned and the bed was neatly made, everything dusted and organized and in its correct place. He strode further inside and waited for everyone to enter before Elisabeth followed his lead and shut the doors, bolting them for now. Arms folded along her chest, she rested her weight on her left hip and watched everyone before her.

Gideon said nothing for a few moments, before finally turning around with a compressed-lips smile on his attractive features. "Welcome," he said, greeting the four girls and throwing a secondary glance at Beth, before turning his attention back to the new servants.
