Taking the pendant in my hands, I walked out of my room. The girl followed from behind with a glimr in her eyes. Watching the happy face of her friend, Kate wanted to ask questions but she kept her mouth shut, afraid of making angry.
As if I care anymore! I had seen enough of the politics in my 15 years of marriage from Cassius. Their small tricks were a mouse play for .
Walking back towards the garden I sat there and looked at the sun. It was blazing as it was already the peak of sumr but I still felt better here. After spending a month in the dark prison, my affinity to the sun has increased. And there was a gazebo for royal people to sit. Then why not enjoy it.
Walking leisurely towards the gazebo, I admired the roses, when one rose caught my eyes. It was a blue rose like I have always seen, but it's corner petals were dark enough to be called black.
But just when I was about to pluck it, I heard the voice I was listening to since morning.
"Your highness, his highness, had denied plucking blue roses from the garden." interjected the head maid walking towards .
I raised a brow at her. 'Is she keeping an eye on now? Or had she always kept an eye on ' as the thought crossed my mind, I felt infuriated?
"And who are you to order like that?" I asked with a smile which made her tongue-tied.
"Apologies your highness, but his highness." She tried to reply by bowing her head, but I raised my hand to stop her from speaking further.
"This is the garden allotted to , the present Duchess of Forchestiere Empire. Not to it's Duke, and if he wants to protect these roses so much, ask him to change the chamber with ." I replied in a colder voice than I had thought.
'If he wants to protect even the re rose of his beloved wife and wouldn't care to see last ti even when I was dying, then why would I waste my ti on a man like him'
I looked at all the stunned faces and moved from there. Just standing at a place where his na is taken is making suffocating.
But then an idea struck to and I smirked, turning again I called, "Kate"
"Yes, your highness," she asked, stepping forward.
"I have a gift for you." with that I handed her the ruby pendant of Duke Cassius. With the corner of my eye, I noticed the widened eyes of the head maid, and his agape mouth and my smile broadened.
"Thank you for the generosity of your highness, this subject is grateful to you," she replied bowing again and again with shimring eyes.
But the one who was happiest with this situation was .
I knew my staff wouldn't recognise the ruby set but she would definitely recognise it in a glimpse. As she was the one who had brought this wedding gift for from Duke's chamber. He didn't have the ti to give my wedding gift himself. I knew the information would now reach his ears.
'Revenge is the dish best served cold. Looks like a villain is always a villain
Finally satisfied with the result I started walking towards the gazebo. Sitting on the luxurious chair, I looked at a sumptuous al in front of .
Taking bites of my food, I looked around at the beautiful scenery. That's the life I would live from now on.
Then my eyes fell on the bright and shiny face of Norma and Kate if they didn't have to follow the protocol I was sure they could have danced then and there.
But my eyes furrowed looking at the girl whom I actually wanted to make happy. 'Why is Lina looking so worried? Did she also want rubies?'
Nodding at my contemplation, I decided to find a ruby set for her later. Since I had a heavy breakfast in the morning because I was too excited to see good food, I couldn't each much.
'Oh my tasty food, looks like I have to part with you here' i kept my fork down and sighed.
The maids moved and cleared my table. " I would like to have tea for good digestion," I asked the maid, taking my plate and she bowed.
Within minutes the tea was served and I took a whiff of my favourite rose tea. But the mont I took a sip of it. It felt like I had eaten sothing sour.
Not that its taste has sothing wrong. It was brewed perfectly just as I like. I felt bitter because of the man walking towards .
'Could he not understand human language anymore. Didn't I send the ssage that I don't want to et him? Then why is he wasting his precious ti here?
