Chapter 22: The Eternal Garden {2}
"Lady Sylvia," she grinned, coming close to .
"Lady Camille"
Both took our hands, giving a slight bow, a tradition Mother told
about.
"Say Cedric, have you by chance seen Dalton? He should be here," Jas said, looking around for a bit.
"We’re right here".
A voice ca in as Dalton approached us, Danette beside him, dressed in a sheath gown also but red, her cloak black, embodied with red designs, her hair pack in a bun but hidden underneath her hood.
"The road under reconstruction caused a delay" he adds.
We exchanged formalities as I did with Jas and Camille, once again Danette gave
a warm smile I couldn’t resist.
"Well, Lady Sylvia it’s good to see you again," Dalton said with a smug look.
I forced a smile.
"Lady Sylvia, it’s traditional you wear your hood up before the picnic, it’s necessary," Camille said in amusent.
Dear Lord! I can’t believe I forgot that Mother told
it was very important.
"My apologies," I said quickly putting on my hood. She would have just said so earlier, why wait till everyone was here? And then it dawned on
seeing her smug look, she did it on purpose.
"It appears there’s so much your wife hasn’t learned, is she taking her lessons seriously," Dalton said smirking.
I gulped.
"My mother took the liberty of doing so," Cedric said in a simple tone, once again he turned a blind eye to what was stirring just like he did during the banquet, as expected of Cedric Hartford.
"Well I do hope it’s enough to put her in her place," Dalton said.
I gasp at his rude words.
"Now everyone, the purpose of this picnic is to be away from all the work, as ambassadors, we’re quite full of them so let us just enjoy what we ca for," Albert said.
"Now shall we" he adds walking ahead.
The n walked ahead engaging in so sort of talk, Camille was up ahead also enjoying the scenery.
"I apologize for my husband’s behavior," Danette said walking beside .
I just forced a smile.
"He can be a bit overboard sotis, a man fixed on the Empire laws can do that, he doesn’t like when soone questions them" she adds.
"You think I question them..."
"No no not at all, you’re not just used to them" she explained.
I smiled.
"I’m not angry Danette, and I do question their laws... it’s too much" I reasoned, sighing.
She giggled.
"I do not understand too much you’re speaking of because I have been here since I was a baby, it’s like our everyday lifestyle, you will get used to it," she said.
I just nod, my eyes traveled to the gentlen.
"How long have you been married to Lord Dalton," I asked curiously.
"A year now, sa with the Albert’s, we wedded the sa day".
"Oh" I made a sound. That was quite uncomfortable. I wondered what it would have been like if we were all married the sa day, I shivered at the thought.
"I have known Camille for years, we schooled the sa and trained, she is what you may call the perfect silver-haired as they nicknad her over the years"
"Tell
about it," I said with an eye roll earning a chuckle from Danette.
"You really are sothing aren’t you"
I smiled.
"Sothing yes... manners no" Camille said as we got to her.
"Co on Cami, give her so space, it’s not her fault she’s not into our customs, we can help her by showing her" Danette offered.
She huffed.
"I suppose we can if she can learn," she said, eyeing
up to down like I didn’t fit in and that made
angry.
"Seems like flawless isn’t your only angelic features but that attitude of yours that keeps exploding," I said smirking.
She faced
with an angry look and a sudden stop.
"Ladies please, let’s not draw attention to ourselves," Danette said looking back and forth between the two of us.
I looked away from Camille, coming in view of the newfound environnt.
I gasped seeing the wide garden, how magnificent it looks, so what I saw earlier was just a glimpse of it, this view was absolutely stunning and enchanting.
And it seems we won’t just be the only one here, other couples were too, enjoying their picnics on the evergreen grass and a tent set, it looked so royal, I was sure they all belonged to a different house of sorcery, and more there weren’t silver-haired beside their husbands just normal ladies?
"Like what you see?" Danette asked beside .
"Yes," I said breathlessly, still engrossed by the view.
