“Come… come…” Matthew and Harry invited in unison with a wide grin. “By god, man…” Jane laughed “You two still alive?” “Ha… ha…ha…” Harry laughed and smirked “Did you think you suddenly got the ability to converse with ghosts?” “If I did” Jane hooked her eyebrows “I know there will be other ghosts I want to meet first.” “This is my daughter’s house.” Matthew started politely “It might not…” “Good lord, Matt…. When did you become so long winded?” Jane rolled her eyes as she walked forward like the empress. Samuel chuckled as he followed. Jane and Thomas didn’t need any introductions. Matthew introduced John, Beth, Oden, Martin and Anne-Marie while Harry introduced Agnes, Ursula, Jack and Mira. Thomas introduced Aldrin and Ferran; Almera didn’t need any introductions. Jane introduced Samuel to everyone. Once introductions were out of the way, everyone mingled without reservations. Mira slipped away while everyone was chatting and went to the cellar. She took the items she had prev

“She is useless anyway.” Joan smirked as she pulled Caster’s hand. “Leave this house today and the two of you are dead to us.” John warned as Emma was about to walk out the door with Joan. “Makes no difference.” Joan shrugged her shoulders as she walked out. Silence filled the room. No one spoke… only Anne-Marie’s tiny sobs could be heard. Oden hugged her comfortingly. “Mom hasn’t woken up…” Anne-Marie sobbed bringing everyone’s attention back to Beth who had fainted. “I will take her to the healer. You lot stay here.” John stood up; his step faltered although he put a tough front. “Dad, you stay here with Anne-Marie.” Oden supported his father “I will take mom along with Martin.” “Um” John nodded as he rubbed his chest and walked over to his bed. Anne-Marie watched both her parents miserable state and didn’t know what to do… Her father was putting a tough appearance… but she wasn’t so sure… She did the only thing she knew… She waited for her father to lie down and left the hous

Both Beth and John were back to normal after a day’s worth of good rest. Ursula went back home with Matthew when he came in the afternoon, after preparing both dinner and supper. She didn’t wait for Oden and Martin to come back as Beth was already feeling better after eating the porridge with the medicinal herbs that Mira gave. Mira and Jack didn’t have any other distractions. They both worked hard fully concentrating on their work. They even ate in space as the food was already cooked and placed there. They only came out to water the crops, let the animals out to graze in the morning and lock the barns at night. Martin couldn’t deliver the crown clasp on Monday as promised but Jack and Mira didn’t care. Jack paid a visit to the smithery on Mira advice and told Simeon to deliver on Wednesday as they had some inconvenience. Simeon just laughed in good humor. How could he not understand? Martin bought the short chain and crown clasp on Wednesday as promised and the long chain on Thurs

“Aunt, I am home.” Jack called out standing at the doorway. Beth hurriedly wiped her hands on the apron rushed to open the door, but Anne-Marie beat her to it. “Cousin...” Anne-Marie jumped into Jack’s embrace before looking behind him and asking with a sad pout “Where is cousin’s wife?” “She is working … she sends her love.” Jack ruffled her hair as he walked in. “Jack, son what is it?” Beth asked anxiously. Jack wouldn’t come on his own if there was nothing wrong. “Shouldn’t you be telling me what’s wrong?” Jack complained unhappily. “Me?? Wrong???” Beth knitted her brows before laughing “It’s all better… thanks to your medicine.” “Aunt, do you even consider me as your son?” Jack frowned seeing that his aunt had no intention of speaking the truth. “My boy… what are you saying?” Beth sighed but before Beth could open her mouth, John and Oden entered in a hurry. “Jack… son…” John called out in a fluster before calming down. “Are you here to check on the blankets?” Oden asked

The next day was the same. Both husband and wife only took a break from their work to take a dip in the hot spring to relax their tired muscles and to sleep at night or dawn when Jack made a ruckus. Sunday morning had a slight twist with Ursula and Agnes arriving to cook. Both frowned as they saw the fireplace that had not been lit for days. Jack took a break from his work and entertained Matthew and Harry. They decided to plant the saplings that were waiting to be planted in the morning. Mira had to stop work and come out as Ursula and Agnes would not hear about any excuse. She was no match for her two moms. She could only compromise, come out gobble everything they put on her plate and run back. Jack chuckled looking at his wife bulging cheeks as he saw her stuffing all the food in her mouth like a hamster. She looked really cute. “Ddd..oo….n.n.m…ll….mmmee” Mira pouted as she chewed her food fast… Jack “???” “Don’t laugh at me.” Mira repeated with a pout as she swallowed her fo

“Husband, I want to go to that cloth merchant’s shop.” Mira tugged Jack’s hand acting like a spoilt child. “I just remembered something…. Please…” Mira pouted and blinked with a pleading gaze. “Um” “Let’s go now.” Mira ran to the room to change and take the money. They hired the cart from their usual cart person. He was about to go home disappointedly since he didn’t get a single ride when Jack and Mira rushed up to him. Jack rode fast as Mira kept urging him; He had no idea what she wanted to do, but he was happy to comply. He could see the excitement in her eyes. “You’re back.” Stranton smiled before teasing “4 weeks are up… only 4 more weeks for our bet.” “Yes” Mira smiled mysteriously as she walked into the section for fine linen. She chose one pista-green and sky-blue. She turned to Jack “Brown or grey?” “For whom?” Jack raised his eyebrows with a knowing smirk. “Brown or grey?” Mira asked with a pout. “Brown for big bro and Martin, Grey for uncle.” Jack chuckled. “How

Martin came in the evening as usual. He bought the chains as always. Mira came out as she heard Martin’s voice. “Cousin’s wife.” Martin raised his head as he saw Mira “Cousin just told me about what happened in the morning.” Mira shrugged. “Is all your work spoiled?” Martin asked anxiously. Mira stared from Martin to Jack with a blank gaze before realizing that Jack didn’t tell him about the back-up “I need your help with something.” Mira decided to change the topic; She didn’t want to lie to family. She didn’t know how Jack managed to pull wool over his head, but she knew Jack wouldn’t lie. “What is it?” Martin asked eagerly. “It might require you to do something bad.” Mira pouted with a conflicted expression. “Like??” “Stealing...” Mira pursed her lips. Martin took a deep breath as he made up his mind “I will do it… what should I steal?” “Are you tired?” Mira quirked her eyebrows “I need it today.” “Okay” Martin stood up. “Can you steal a dress of your mom’s and Anne-Ma

Jack and Mira woke up together. Mira got breakfast ready while Jack milked the cows and let the animals out. He ate breakfast before going to get the cart. Today was the day they used the cart for free, but Jack insisted on paying a full day’s wage as he needed it for the whole day. He told the cart owner that he would use the free ride next week. Mira pushed the stands from space into the front room as she got ready for Jack to return with the cart. Jack loaded all the stands and took the milk to deliver at his uncle’s place. Mira handed him a small cloth with measurements for her mother and godmother, the sample dresses of Beth and Anne-Marie along with the embroidered cloth for each one and reminded Jack repeatedly which one was for whom. Still not satisfied, she wrote the color for each person on the small cloth “Deliver this to Almera on the way back. Tell her we will pick it up in the evening. I will finish Thomas’s cloth by then.” “Um” Jack kissed Mira goodbye and locked the

“Good heavens” Beth, Ursula and Agnes shrieked at the same time as they saw their jewelry sets. They had opened theirs in curiosity as they saw Anne-Marie’s set but never in their wildest dream did any of them expect this.“Do you like it?” Mira raised her eyebrows playfully feeling pleased inside as she saw their joy.“This…. this … this is more expensive than anything I have ever touched.” Beth’s eyes were wide in shock “My dear girl…. This… this I can’t …. You keep it.” She anxiously tried to push the set back to Mira.“Aunt, this is what we bought for you.” Mira pouted feigning a wronged expression “You can’t despise us.”“Despise??? Good lord….” Beth shook her head frantically “This is like the stars in heavens… how can I despise it?” She stuttered “It’s…. it’s just …. Just that I am not worthy.”“Not worthy?” Mira made a furious expression “Says who?” She looked at Oden, Martin and Anne-Marie with a menacing eye daring them to speak.None of the had recovered from the shock of t

Jack and Mira set off early in the morning along with Lazarus and two of men. She made Almera promise that she wouldn’t look at the dress before it was time for her to wear it tomorrow and handed the basket that was tightly wrapped.She collected the completed suits for the men before settling into gossip. Jack sat by without interrupting as Thomas couldn’t make it to give him company. With just one day to the coronation and being sworn brothers with the crown prince, Thomas would be lucky if he had time to relieve himself.Almera told Mira all about Lotta’s fate. Mira couldn’t help but sigh with sympathy although she would never forgive her for putting Jack in such a miserable state. Along with all the gossip, she also told Mira how well-behaved Danielle had been since the competition.Hats for men were bought from men’s fashion emporium that Almera had recommended. They were the latest in-fashion for court wear; Navy blue felt in cavalier style with embroidery in golden threads and

Oden never knew that a man of business’s life was so busy. The pace at Slegh’s that he was used to, was relaxed and leisurely in a polite language…. if one was perfectly honest, then they would call it sloppy. His admiration for Carl grew as he watched and learned. Even though he was swept off his feet, Oden didn’t slack even for a second. He knew his cousin was destined for bigger things and he couldn’t drag him down. Even with the limited resources he had, his cousin and wife managed to build what they had today, what would happen in future now that they had the resources of dukedom? He was their big cousin; he had to shield them in his own way… and the only way was to grow stronger.Martin was busy with winding up all his tasks at the smithery and also his new hobby that he hadn’t disclosed to anyone…. this was his little secret. Luckily, everyone was run of their feet, and no one noticed. Beth wasn’t idle either. She was busy supervising the maids with the meals for everyone. It w

Jason regretted letting go of Mira. The moment he saw her receiving the title of duchess, he realized how foolish he was to listen to Alina and cast the diamond in his hands away for trash. The moment he heard Mira ask in open court for the title to be bestowed equally on her and Jack, he felt that someone had forcefully snatched something that belonged to him. Regret played somersaults inside his head as his mind relayed the scenes of Mira shining like a star during the awards ceremony.Soon his mind started devising plans to reclaim what was originally his. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t snatch Mira away from that poor simpleton. He didn’t put Jack in his eyes at all…. He forgot that Jack’s identity was no longer that of a simpleton.He was after all her first love, and she had even tried to take her own life to be with him… He conveniently forgot how she had scorned him on the last few encounters. Even if he remembered, his ego would have put it down to her being angry and woul

After returning from the city, Mira got busy with completing her embroideries. First, she completed the work on Matthew’s coat and breeches. The breeches were simple with an inch wide embroidery on the knee bands. She did the same pattern for John and Harry using the same thread combination- silver and royal blue metallic threads to embroider a floral vine pattern along the front line, vents, collar, cuffs pockets and flaps of the navy-blue material and knee bands for the breeches. The same pattern was done for the three cravats on the portion of the cravat that would adorn the front of the knot.The silver blue material for the three waist coats was entirely covered by a small pattern called droguet using royal blue and aqua blue metallic threads.The only twist between the three sets were the flowers; this was the same as their female counterparts- Harry’s had magnolia flowers while Matthew’s were Fuchsia flowers; John’s were tulips.The pattern for Oden and Martin was the replica of

Martha and Sierra were next to enter, brightening Mira’s mood. She forgot all about the unpleasant lady. She started the conversation with the normal pleasantries while Jack sat back to give her space.“Can I ask if you know a Mr Baldos?” Mira asked feigning anxiety before hurriedly apologizing “I apologize if I offended you… but I can’t help asking since your name is Martha.”“You….. you….” Martha stuttered as she looked suspiciously with fear.“I mean no harm” Mira feigned regret “Baldos is a friend and I promised him to take care of his lady friend, but all I know of her is that her name is Martha.”“I have been asking this question to every Martha I meet since Baldos passed away.” Mira sighed.“No…. no… I … I didn’t…” Martha shook her head. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t want to offend anyone, especially if it was Baldos friend.“It’s okay.” Mira sighed regretfully “I will keep searching.”“No… no… I … I mean I am …” Martha explained looking uncomfortable. She didn’t know

“Since she like serving men poisoned with potions of seduction and lust, I think she should experience it at least once.” Mira pursed her lips and clenched her fists.“We will do as you say.” Jack agreed with a doting smile.“I think she should do it for a lifetime since she likes it so much.” Almera rolled her eyes.Thomas’s lips curled in an admiring arc. This was exactly what he wanted to do. They discussed what to do next before splitting up.Mira and Jack followed their original plan and went to the apartment area. Carl and Oden were waiting dutifully after the purchase was completed. They got on the carriage as they rode on to the apartment. Carl informed Jack of the owner’s interest in selling the remaining apartments. He also provided his view of business prospects and waited for Jack’s decision.“Cost?” Jack pursed his lips as he deliberated.“The current apartment was bought for 50 nuggets. The surrounding 4 apartments are also priced at the same value however if we are able

Mira entered space after everyone left for their day’s work. Today she had to finish the work for her mother and godmother. She didn’t have to think long for her mom and godmother’s pattern. For her mom’s cloth the pattern was the floral pattern of fuchsia flowers that were bright red with shades of a dark red and a shade of pink darker than the rosewood color for the inside bulb with hovering hummingbirds, the Fiery-throated hummingbird and the Crowned Woodnymph variety which were her mom’s favorite among all the hummingbirds.Mira finished the work on her mother’s cloth and stretched before leaving space. She didn’t want to worry Jack. She had learned her lesson yesterday. Harrison was dutifully waiting for her in the dining room wondering whether he should call her. A smile appeared on his face as she appeared as if his dilemma was resolved.Mira had a quick lunch after Harrison informed her that both her aunt and uncle had asked her not to wait for them at dinner as they would stop

“She must be working.” Jack shook his head helplessly and explained as he saw that the worry written all over Harrison’s face was genuine “She tends to forget time when she concentrates.”“Wife...” Jack called out as he knocked on the door.Mira had just completed Aunt Beth’s pattern when she heard Jack’s voice. She came out of space and opened the door happily only to see Jack frowning and Harrison’s anxious face. Seeing the light outside had faded, Mira blinked with a silly mischievous grin as realization hit her…. An entire day had passed!Jack really wanted to scold Mira, but he couldn’t say a word of reprimand as he saw her silly grin.“You are not allowed to do this.” Jack shook his head helplessly and spoke in a gentle tone as he pulled her into his embrace.“Um” Mira readily nodded.“Next time...” Jack tilted his head to look at Mira with a serious gaze; Mira didn’t let him continue. She jumped to cover his mouth and shook her head hurriedly “No next time….”“I … I will get the
