Present
My Lady , the tea is ready ..
Thanks Mary . I took a sip of the tea and enjoyed it's taste while thinking about my life .
I left my step mother and step sister to meet a physco like Levina . I would be a fool to not know that she will be a very big threat in my life and marriage .
I have dealt with my step mother and sister's antics all my life so someone being at my throat is nothing new to me .
It seems like Levina loves Damon a lot and is seeing her as a threat.
This life was truly unfair . Everyone was against her and she had no one to lean on .
No family, no friends. Just her alone.
She was now married but she didn't know her husband well enough to think of him as a leaning shoulder .
So far he has treated her nicely but she cannnot guarantee that he will continue being nice. This marriage was forced by the king on to them and she did not think this marriage would be bring happiness to her.
She just wants to live a peaceful life and if Damon loves Levina and wants to take her as a second wife she won't mind because she knows he doesn't love at least he will be happy.
I just want to live free from nonsense. Hmmm . The fresh air was calming her nerves down.
She didn't think she has ever been this peaceful even in her own home.
My Lady , the weather is changing we should probably head inside before you fall sick . Deby said .
Yes let's go . But wait
Didn't Da...The duke go out,. Will he be able to travel in this bad weather.
She worried for her husband just like any other wife would .
Ohh l just hope he makes it safely . Mary said .
When he returns inform me immediately Mary .
Yes my Lady..
After twenty minutes
My Lady the duke is back and he is wet since he went on horse back.
I jumped from my seat to go and welcome my husband. The least I could do was to act as a normal wife .
I left the bedroom with the towel l got from the maids to help him dry his hair but when l took the last turn to the corridor leading to the entrance l froze.
To say that something deep inside me stirred was understandable.
Levina was in front of my husband intimately drying his hair. The way she was standing close to him made me annoyed . She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at what she was seeing but since Damon didn't push her away maybe he also liked her back .
Disappointment written all over my face as l turned around to go back to my room . I sighed as l walked away leaving the two souls to themselves
At some point l really thought these marriage would not be so bad but now l regret the thought .
It is indeed true that hope can be disastrous to oneself.
My Lady , is everything alright. My maids said . Probably because they pitied me a newly wed seeing her husband so close to another woman .
My Lady it's not what you think. Lady Levina has always been trying to get the Duke's attention but he doesn't like her the way your thinking. Mary said.
Trying to defend her master. But why was l disappointed.
I was forced into a marriage I didn't want and now l expect the man not to have another woman .
Ofcourse that was impossible.
But l know l will get accustomed to it .
I learnt from my parents that marriage is not about love . My father claimed to love my mother but he still brought another woman to her martial home .
Let me go and rest in my room before dinner . You can call when if it's time for dinner. I said to my maids and closed the door behind me .
Sigh ....
