Next, they stopped at Aldrin’s shop. Mira needed a lot of materials. She got herself a few large rolls of silk threads of different colors, a few different shades of green, red, grey golden, silver, pink, 10 marks of yellow beads, 5 marks of two shades of orange 5 marks each of reflective metal bits that were line shaped in green, brown, red, different shades of blue, white, orange and yellow color and 10 marks of small white pearls. They were also smaller rolls of various colors. “Did we rob the treasury?” Aldrin looked in shock at the generous amount of things Mira took. Mira rolled her eyes. Almera and Thomas didn’t come, they were sitting in the carriage debating whether Almera should wear what Mira suggested. Thomas was brave to fight a losing battle… He still hung up his sword with dignity, not feeling embarrassed in the slightest at losing. “Seriously… do you know how much this is going to cost you?” Aldrin still couldn’t believe it. “Are you not going to tell me?” Mira aske
Mira didn’t know how long she slept for; the bell rang outside waking her from the peaceful sleep. She opened her eyes to stare into two pools of passion. “How are you feeling?” “Better” “Um” Mira nodded noting that he was looking much better “Sleep a little longer.” She tucked the blanket around him before leaving the room. “Who is it?” “Mira, it’s aunt and uncle.” Beth’s voice came from the outside. Mira opened the door happily “Come… come….” Beth decided to come with the boys and to leave Joan and Emma to fend for themselves. The two girls had angered her to death yesterday. The morning sunk into a flurry of activity with John milking the cow and cleaning the barn; Oden and Martin watering the land. Last week’s plan was to plant the seedlings today… but Jack was unwell. They decided to water the land so that it was well irrigated. Beth and Mira cooked breakfast. Beth made bread while Mira heated up the soup from yesterday and made some scrambled eggs. Matthew and Harry arri
Everyone went home early with Jack almost back to normal. John still told Jack that he would come in the morning to milk the cow and to rest another day and recover. Martin promised to bring the chains that he normally delivered on Monday. Beth had cooked a pottage soup for the two to drink for dinner while Ursula and Agnes baked the bread before leaving. Mira slipped into space and picked the flowers for Jack once everyone left. Jack locked the doors and returned to the bedroom. “Eat.” Mira gave him the flowers as she came out of space. Jack obediently ate the honey. They sat for a while… this time it took longer for Jack to sweat, and he wasn’t as flushed. This time, he bathed on his own, but Mira had to watch… she wanted to see for herself… of course Jack didn’t have any problem with his wife watching him… the smug man purposefully slowed his actions flexing his muscles. Sadly, for Jack, Mira didn’t notice… her attention was solely on the color of the foam. She smiled happily as
“Alina… Alina… my dear child, wake up…” Muriel called out in fear. Alina stirred and opened her eyes in a dull manner. “What is it?” “Someone left a bouquet for you…. it….it…” Muriel stuttered in fear. She handed the bouquet and the message still trembling in fear. Alina opened the small scroll not knowing what to think…. She still felt a little spaced out due to the drink from yesterday… The message read “I had warned you… I keep my promises…” “Who gave this?” “One of the maids found it by the door…” Muriel shrugged. “Mom, help me dress up.” Alina sat up in a hurry “I know how to fix this.” She told Muriel all about her previous visit to Mira’s place with Jason and how they met a lady there who seemed to be high born and of her threat. “My dear girl…” Muriel shook her head in disappointment “Why have you gone through so much trouble? Weren’t you friends?? Did she hurt you?? Haven’t you got Jason already?” “Isn’t it all because of you...” Alina looked at her mother hatefully
Caster felt depressed that he couldn’t achieve his goal. He looked at the pretty girl sitting in front of him smiling like a flower. She would do for now although she wasn’t as beautiful as Mira, at least she was a virgin. He had been thinking of her since they met yesterday, more correctly, the soft sensation of her bosom rubbing against him. He had the urge to taste them... but he resisted. He placed his hand on her knees “Did I cause you trouble?” “No… no…” Joan smiled with her head lowered, raising her eyes to look at him bashfully. “My little brother is ill-tempered. He has been spoiled by my parents.” She put on a wronged expression “I am used to them … it doesn’t matter when it is for someone you like.” Caster’s lips curled up. His narcissist ego had received a boost “Don’t worry. You are my person…” He pulled her to sit on his lap. Joan feigned a struggling expression. “My lord…” She called out softly making a gesture to hold on to her chastity. “Um” Caster hummed as he pu
Back at Mira’s place, Mira continued her work unaware of the storms blowing and brewing outside. She only came out when Jack called out to say that their parents were leaving. “We will come early tomorrow and help Jack with planting the seedlings. You concentrate on your work” Ursula told Mira their plan. Mira nodded happily as she waved goodbye. Jack was back to himself and started working on his stands as Mira did her work. Jack decided to make a stand similar to the one Mira had… not similar… an exact replica as he remembered the content from her chattering before. “Love, keep this in your work room.” Jack said as he massaged her shoulders. He had just finished making it. “Huh?” Mira raised her head in confusion to look at Jack; her gaze became even more confused as she looked at the stand that was exactly the same as hers… even the inscription. Jack hugged his wife and kissed her passionately… his wife was too cute and enticing when she looked at him with her innocent big eyes
“You are well?” Aldrin had heard about the situation from Almera; His men had gone to pick up the stands last week and there was no one there. “Yes.” Jack looked apologetically at Aldrin “We apologize for taking payment and not delivering the frames. How about….” “No… nothing to it.” Aldrin waved. It would be a lie if he said he wasn’t impressed once he heard about the whole incident; Any other man would have given in, and it would be an acceptable crime. “But you must have gotten in trouble…” Jack felt uncomfortable. “I have a rubber neck…” Aldrin laughed in good humor “I never hang.” “There are four, ready for pick-up and we have ones that has started to bloom as a compensation for the people who were meant to get last week’s order.” “Good... good…” Aldrin nodded as he handed 2 gold sheets and 25 gold coins to Jack “I will send the lads to pick it up this evening.” He turned back to his ledgers. He didn't want to talk to the man who was his imaginary love rival.... what if he
Almera left the trunk with Mira telling her not to waste money on the trunk since it was for a temporary arrangement and to use the one she bought with them. They could return it when it was no longer required as it was currently not being used. It fit the bill as it was a strong trunk used to store expensive cloths at the dressmakers. “Then, I will owe you one more.” Mira giggled in good nature. “Nonsense.” Almera waved as she rode away. Mira and Jack locked the house and rode to Aunt Beth’s on the cart with the trunk as it was still early. No one was home yet…. Only Oden, Aunt Beth and Anne-Marie. “Aunt, we are home.” Jack announced at the door. “Come… come….” Oden opened the door. “Big brother, help me carry something inside.” Jack asked before stepping in. Mira stood by the side giving the men way to carry the trunk inside. “Keep this in Uncle’s room.” Jack instructed as they walked in. They left the trunk in the men’s room and came out. “Aunt, this is the key for the trunk
