[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: BEETHOVEN - MOONLIGHT SONATA ~ FULL BY KASSIA]
After a few weeks of Axilla and Cortez's wedding, Venantius let Cortez stay back in the merchant village with the hope he would be coming to visit Badukeh regularly.
The newlywed couple had enjoyed their wedding alone and received blessings and gifts from their loved ones. Cortez made Axilla in charge of the inn while he handled the outside trade.
"Lady Axilla, what should I do about the goods that just arrived?" one of the merchants asked, with his head bowed.
Axilla scanned through the ledger, "Make sure none of them are sold until my husband returns," she replied, prompting the assistant to bow and leave the place.
Kayla walked inside the storeroom, "Lady Axilla, someone is here to see you," she announced.
Axilla dropped what she was doing and followed Kayla to the room where her guest was waiting.
"Lady Jenna!" Axilla said with a big smile.
