*Uneri*
An ebony-skinned youth reclined by the pool, while a woman with eyes of molten gold, clad in jade-hued garments, offered him grapes. Her fingers, delicate as the petals of a blooming lotus, held the bunch aloft, the succulent orbs glistening in the sun's radiant glow.
The sun-kissed young man was my older brother, Marchioness Eiichiro. The beautiful woman was my future-in-law, Duchess Nefertari.
Nefertari's lips, painted a deep crimson, curved into a gentle smile as she offered the grapes to my brother.
Brother extended a hand, his fingers brushing against Nefertari's as he plucked a grape from the bunch. He popped it into his mouth, the sweet juice exploding on his tongue. He closed his eyes, savoring the taste, a content sigh escaping his lips.
I couldn't help but snicker. Eiichiro liked luxuries, but it was the simple stuff that made him smile.
