I groaned, opening my eyes, and hearing the door barge open.
"Good morning my lady" I heard Olivia say, she zapped open the curtains.
I groaned as the sunlight got to my eyes.
"Is it morning already?" I whined like a child lying back down, my body still hurt from all the horse riding lessons Mother made engage so that I would be perfect.
"Yes my Lady and today is the event, I should get you ready before Madam scolds "
I growled covering my face with the covers.

Bathed, I was now in my dressing room, getting my riding habit on, Fayette has really done such a beautiful job, I could see why she was famous.
My riding habit consists of a dark yellow tailored jacket with a long skirt, the color looked almost honey and I loved it, along with a necktie, white.
A hat also, a small portable one, the sa color as my dress, my silver hair packed in a bun, but surely my bangs fell on my forehead hair like it usually does.
Low-heeled boots, black, and gloves.
"You look beautiful my lady," Olivia said with a dashing smile.
I smiled, but then it faded when I rembered Cedric would not be attending, I sighed.
"Let’s go Olivia, or we will be late," I said in a hurry, not wanting to think about him.

"Again you won’t be coming?"
"Yes my lady"
I sighed in frustration, why were maids always left out of such events?
"It’s not fair" I growled, I hated that she wouldn’t co, I wanted company at least, even though I had Mother coming.
"It’s the laws my Lady, maids are not allowed in such an event, please understand my lady" she explained as we got to the doors that were opened with the help of the guards, more sunlight coming in.
I sighed.
"I really wished you would co"
She smiled.
" too my lady, you go now, Madam must be waiting outside"
I forced a smile nodding as I turned walking away, I turned, and she smiled waving at , and I waved back turning back to the entrance.
An entire day spent horse riding with Mother and other wives of sorcery, how bad could it be? I thought back to society, ha great now there were talks about my husband ascending the throne, society will thereby be watching my every move like a hawk, just GREAT.
I sauntered down the stairs, lifting my skirt a bit. I just have to be careful not to draw attention to the public, could I even sneeze? I just couldn’t wait for this event to be over, I was always shy and when it ca to the public, I was beginning to wonder if I would survive this.

Deep breaths Sylvia, deep breaths. I chant to myself I just have to stay strong, always be strong and brave just my papa always told , this will just be a walk in the park.
I was done descending the stairs, lowering my skirt down, arranging myself probably, the stairs to the entrance of the Castle so long.
I heard a footstep approach.
"Sorry for being late, Mother," I said, raising my head as I was done adjusting the skirt, and then I paused as I t with green orbs.
My body instantly flushed with heat as I stared eye to eye with Cedric, those green orbs of his that always got spelled, and his ever-handso face I haven’t seen for almost two weeks.
My lips went apart in shock, was he really here, standing before and looking at like I was the only being on earth? Dear gods, he looked even more dashing right now, his midnight hair was gelled backward and moist making eager to run my hands through it.
Dressed like he was the only handso man on earth, with a black tailored knee-length coat, a gilded black brocade waistcoat embodied with a golden design, an inner black shirt with his usual collar up like he always does, black trousers, and black riding boots.
I had no idea I was ogling him all the way as my eyes traveled back to his green orbs, they were dark but not completely back like the day he kissed , dear goddess, I couldn’t stop staring.
"Wife?"
I snapped out of my trance by his sonorousness.
"Mm," I just made a sound like I was dumbfounded, seriously how long I was staring?
A side smirk that took my breath away ford on his lips, oh my god he was more dashing when he smiled, even though it was brief.
"I said you look beautiful, wife"
Did he say that before? I didn’t hear him, I was too drowned in his looks.
"As do you husband"
He raised an eyebrow at my words.
OH MY! Did I just say that? That he looked beautiful? Dear goddess this was so embarrassing, I quickly looked away as a deep blush found my cheeks.
"I-I-I an...", let the ground just swallow right now, that was so stupid.
"Sylvia my dear atlas you’re here"
My head snaps in the direction of Mother’s voice. She already mounted her white horse dressed elegantly in her riding habit, the sa color as mine but different design.
"Cedric honey I’m so happy you have returned and to join us"
I turned back to Cedric who still had his eyes on , yes he was gone but he ca back. For the event? But why? I thought his going away was more important.
Suddenly rembering he was gone, I frowned, I was still hurt.
"Husband," I said with a bow walking past him to my white horse.
What good does it do that he was here, he was probably here because of the event, I’m sure he cares about missing it because of society, he could leave his wife alone for weeks, but co running back to an event? Ugh, that is so like you, Lord Cedric.
With the help of the footstool laid out by the chauffeur, I mounted my horse, not even sparing Cedric a glance. I had no intention of doing so until this event was over, this was payback for leaving without telling .
