Peter sat around the table and asked me, "So, what do you plan on doing in the city?" "I actually wanted to meet Usof Ladan. My Mom told me how he and my Father are good friends." Peter let out a small chuckle, so I asked, "What's so funny?" "I was with your Father when he first met Vel. If it wasn't for me, those two wouldn't be friends. Not to mention the fact that Livia is his sister. It's how we met. When Walter went off with Vel to talk, I was left with Livia, and we had an almost immediate connection. We stayed in touch, sending each other messages, meeting up every year or two, until finally, I decided to go for it and leave Kiddra with her." "Wait, you're married to Usof's sister? So that means Usof is a part of our family?" "Indirectly, but yes. If you like, I can introduce you to him. He lives not far from here." "I'd love that!" "Alright, I'll take you to meet him tomorrow morning." The next day, Peter woke us up early, and we left the house after getting ready. Aft
Over the next eight months, I got much closer to Terry. Apart from the time I spent with Peter and his family, I spent all my free time with Terry, visiting different locations in the elven territory. During these eight months, I got to also watch Larisa turn one. She grew incredibly fast during this time. When I first saw her, she had not long ago started eating baby food, and now she could stand with some assistance, and she was trying to talk. When I woke up this morning, I got ready and went to walk out of my room. When I stepped out my door, I was greeted by Terry waiting for me, "You took your time getting out of bed today." "I would have thought you'd be used to that by now. And you don't have to wait outside my door for me every morning." "Well, I can't wait in your room. So where else can I wait?" I sighed as I smiled, "I mean, you don't have to wait at all." "But I enjoy waiting for you in the morning." I shook my head as I walked over to Terry, kissed him on the cheek
I got up early the next day and got ready as I checked around my room to make sure I didn't forget anything. After a while, my room was cleared out, 'It's weird seeing this room back to how it was when I first arrived. I guess I really got comfortable here.' After one final look around my room, I picked up my bag, put it around my shoulder, and walked out of my room. When I walked out of my room, Terry was waiting outside for me as usual, so I asked him, "You finished packing?" "Yeah, I finished most of it yesterday before I went to sleep." "You must be eager to go. I could only bring myself to get just over half of my packing done yesterday." "So that's why you took longer than normal. Also, I'm not eager to leave, but we have to go back at some point, so there's no point in dragging it out." "I guess you're right. Let's go down and say goodbye to everyone then." Terry and I made our way downstairs and into the dining room. When I walked in, I looked over at Peter and said, "We'
After 16 days of travelling back, we finally arrived outside Kiddra capital. To make getting through the front gate easier, we landed and approached the gate in our full forms. When the guards saw a pink dragon approaching the gate, they immediately assumed I was either royalty or a noble and started opening the gate for Terry and me. Once we were through the gate, we took back to the sky and spent the next six hours flying back to my estate. Finally, we landed just outside the estate, returned to normal, and walked to the front door. When I knocked on the front door, Jasmin answered, "Yes?" I was surprised but happy to see her answer, "Jasmin!" I immediately hugged her. "Miss Sasha, you're back?!" "Of course I'm back. Did you think I'd be gone forever? Also, why are you answering the door? That's not your job." "I'm your personal maid, miss. If you're not here, then I have no work to do, so the Duke put me to work around the estate while you were away." I finally let go of Jas
Over the next week, I spent every day with Crimson making arrangements for the wedding. Unfortunately, during this week, we couldn't decide on a venue. Crimson and I sat down in my garden and shared a pot of tea as she talked about venues, "Sash, we need to pick a venue before we can set a date. What's wrong with having your wedding at the same place as Dan?" "There's nothing wrong with it, but I want that to be a special place for Dan. I want a nice venue that isn't the same as his." "Alright. What about trying to have it at one of the local wedding venues? There are many beautiful buildings just for weddings." "I'm not sure. I want it to be more special than any old venue." Crimson then had an idea, "Why don't you have the wedding here?" "You mean in the estate?" "Yes. We can use the other end of the garden and set everything up there. The entire garden is definitely big enough for a wedding." "That's actually a great idea. And I love our garden even if I spend most of my tim
A week later, Jasmin woke me up early in the morning and prepared me for the day. After she finished getting me ready, I went downstairs to the dining room. When I walked into the room, I was greeted by Crimson, who was already sitting around the table going through some of the wedding plans, "Good morning, Sash. Did you have a good night's sleep?" I sat around the table as I answered, "I did, but I still don't like waking up this early..." "This is the time you used to always get up at before you went on your trip, though." "I know, but I got used to being able to sleep in a little longer." "Before I forget, I was hoping you could go and visit your brother and Angela at their estate today and personally invite them to the wedding." "Dan and Angela got their own estate?" "Of course, they're a married couple now. They need their space. You'll likely want to move out after you marry Terry so you two can be alone together." "I guess you're right. Have you told Dan about the weddin
After the ceremony, Terry and I made our way down the gazebo steps and towards the area we set up for the reception. Once everyone was at the reception area, Terry and I made our way into the clearing of people as the music started, and we shared our first dance. After the song was over, Terry and I made our way into the crowd as couples took our place, ready for the next song to start. As we made our way through the crowd, we came face to face with Marquis Laseus, "Terry, I wanted to congratulate you on marrying such an outstanding young woman." "Thank you, Father." The Marquis then turned his attention to me, "So, how does it feel to be a Laseus now?" "I don't care what last name I have, all I care about is that I'm with Terry." The Marquis smiled at my answer, "I'm glad you genuinely care for my son. Have you two decided where you're having your honeymoon yet?" "No, I was too busy planning the wedding that we never talked about it." The Marquis shook his head in disappointme
The next day, I woke up in the middle of the day to my body feeling sore. When I looked at Terry's side of the bed, I saw it was empty, so I sat up while keeping the blanket covering me. As I looked around the room, I couldn't see Terry. Instead, I only saw the aftermath of last night with our clothes scattered across the room. While I looked at the trail of clothes, I saw my underdress was ripped and thrown at the side of the bed. I felt annoyed when I saw it completely destroyed, "Damn it, Terry! I told you I didn't bring anything you could rip!" After a minute, I climbed out of bed using the cover to wrap around myself while I went to put on new clothes. As I walked past the mirror, I saw my hair was in a frizzy mess, "Not my hair... that's going to take me an hour to brush at least..." After putting on a new underdress, I returned to the mirror with my hairbrush and started working. As I brushed my hair, Terry came into the room, "Sash, are you awake yet?" I stopped brushing m
