Deceived
“So you’ve finally seen fit to join the living, have you?”
Benedict rolled his eyes. “I believe I’ve told you before not to
speak to me until I give you leave.”
“Which would be never if you had your way, hence why I ignore
you every time you say it,” Rae snapped. “Which in turn would
make me a terrible secretary.”
“You’re in fine form this morning,” Benedict replied, matching
Rae’s acidic tone. “What, did you get turned down by a whorehouse?
I suppose even money will only go so far.”
Rae slowly set down the sheaf of papers in his hand. “We were
supposed to start going over over these contracts at eight o’clock; it
is now a quarter past nine.” His carefully polite tone abruptly
dropped. “Have a hard time kicking the strumpets out of your bed?”
“No strumpets this time,” Benedict said with a yawn. “I was
reading an excellent book, actually.”
Rae ignored him in favor of helping himself to the contents of a
lavish tea tray that had been quietly brought in once the servants
realized Prince Benedict was finally awake. The sugar tongs clicked
faintly as he dropped two cubes into his tea. “Find a book of explicit
pictures in the library?”
Benedict laughed. “I wish—my father would have an apoplexy.
No, it was a history book, actually. Spare me further snide
comments.”
Instead of replying, Rae retrieved his papers and all but threw
them across the table. “If you managed to read a history book, which
I highly doubt, then you should have no trouble going over those
contracts. There is also a guest list from your mother; she requests
you look it over and ensure that you have no problems with the
names therein.”
“I see,” Benedict said. He glanced briefly at the papers from his
mother, ignoring the well-worn churning of his stomach and the
weariness that gnawed at him.
Quick as anything, Benedict leaned over the table, snatched up
three more sugar cubes, and dropped them into Rae’s pale blue
china teacup. Siing back, he idly poured cream into his own cup as
Rae stalked back toward him. He made a show of reading over the
first of what must have been nearly fifty pages of names. “Why am I
looking over this again?”
“The guest list? Your mother is thorough, you know that. She
wants to know you’re pleased with it, and if there is anyone missing
you’d like added. The end of year is an important time of year, you
might recall,” Rae said, pushing his spectacles up his nose—a gesture
that said he was rapidly losing patience. “Or did you meant the
contracts? It’s not my problem if some of your personal investments
fail because you can’t read over a few bits of paper, but I thought
that might be something you could actually be bothered to care
about. Highness. Oh, I was also to inform you that your parents
wanted to speak to you about the Masque.”
