105 Foxs den- Part 1 (2/2)
”If I hadn't seen the soul bond I would have pegged him to be leading you on,” Lettice confessed frankly. She had heard from her husband on how the lord had killed plenty of women in the bed and Heidi was a dear friend of hers. She didn't want the lord killing her, ”What are you going to do about the mark?”
”I'll probably have to ask Nicholas about it. He said it wouldn't appear at least until the conflicts in the south simmers but it has and I don't know the reason. Does soul bond affect differently for each individual?” Heidi asked her.
”Maybe it does. We cannot say anything for certain as no one has researched things in depth. The universe is a black pitless hole. No matter how much one tries to attain knowledge there will still be things we don't understand. I am sure Lord Nicholas will have answers for it. I am happy that you finally got soul bonded with the man whom you fell in love with,” Lettice gave an encouraging smile to Heidi.
”Thank you for understanding,” Heidi smiled back before looking at the priest who bowed at them as he walked past them.
”Do you visit church often?”
”Sometimes. I like the sounds of the bells. It gives me hope.”
”You do know that running away isn't an option anymore,” Lettice spoke in a low voice to see Heidi sigh. Lettice had heard a fair share of what Heidi had gone through with her family directly from her and also the fact that she had once tried running away from her family which turned out to be unsuccessful.
”I know that,” Heidi answered with a small smile. She didn't plan to run away at least not since she had been bonded with the lord. She had found love, a place to belong to but she was scared about the future.
”What are you hoping for then?” Lettice questioned, looking at Heidi who had closed her eyes to listen to the bells ring.
”Acceptance,” Heidi breathed out the words, ”Everytime I build my courage to go tell him, something always interrupts us and I don't end up telling him.”
”It will be fine,” Lettice promised her. The blonde woman didn't exactly know what kind of acceptance Heidi was looking for but nonetheless she supported her, ”Have confidence, Heidi. I am sure everything will work out just fine.”
”Yes,” Heidi nodded her head.
