Martin and Oden told their parents and everyone else that Jack’s barn needed fixing, and they were lending a hand. No one thought much about it. It was common in the countryside to help each other. Everyone knew that Jack had been sharing food with the family.

They worked hard from morning till dinner. For dinner, Mira made fish pie and a light soup. The men had been working hard. She made a fish each. They were a few more from Jack’s catch.

“Cousin, let me know if you want a free laborer. All I charge is food.” Martin laughed as he ate.

Jack rolled his eyes when Mira asked “How’s Anne-Marie? Why didn’t you bring her along?”

“She’s too small to know the danger.” Oden shook his head while Martin chuckled “Mom must be having a hard time with her.”

“We ran away before she woke up.”

By late afternoon, the sides of the hutch were successfully finished. All that was left was the top. Mira had weaved continuously for four days. She got after Jack slept and slid into space and kept weavi

  • Second chance at happiness   Did you three brothers do this all by yourself?

    Mira entered space with the bright cloth and started to work on her embroidery after Jack fell asleep. She decided to do a floral pattern with the hot pink as the vine and flowers with pink border and pearls inside. She embroidered such that the hot pink vine was closely followed by the dark green vine which was only slightly darker than the cloth and looked like a shadow of the hot pink vine. Just like the growth and breeding time of the animals in space were enhanced, Mira’s efficiency was also three times more. She worked for 4 hours and finished the whole cloth which would have taken her two full days. She stretched and slipped back into bed after taking a quick dip in the hot spring. Jack subconsciously snuggled closer as he smelt his wife’s beautiful smell and buried his head in her neck. Both of them woke up early and started the day with a lot of energy. Jack milked and cleaned the barn after skinning 8 rabbits for Mira. They were going to have a full house of people today.

  • Second chance at happiness   Oh ye, of little faith!

    Mira came out of space feeling fresh and full of life. She baked some bread experimenting with cheese and tomato on it. Some she baked with mushrooms and cheese…. She kept her fingers crossed hoping there came out all right. She made a thick creamy mushroom soup. Cream, butter and cheese were abundant with Daisy’s steady supply of milk and space to keep everything fresh. She also picked a fish from space, cleaned and kept the head and parts they didn’t eat for the dogs in space and left space. She smeared the fish with butter and spices and roasted till closer to 2 so that it would be hot and just right for Jack. Once Jack came back, they ate dinner together. Mira told him about the chicks and asked whether she should keep them in the outer shed or send them back to the coop while they were relaxing in each other’s company. Jack told her that he thought it was best they went back to the coop. Mira chattered about nonsensical things as they relaxed and then went back to work diligentl

  • Second chance at happiness   Money, we earned plenty, my dearest husband!

    Thomas was still waiting for Mira to return. Mira forgot about her previous grudge by the time she returned. “Mira” Thomas called out as she entered Almera’s room “I meant no offence before.” “Um” Mira pouted. “In my defense, I wasn’t even aware of your conversation.” Thomas continued “Ferran said the meat was fresh, tender and top quality. He was the one who told me I would be lucky to get one with this quality for 4 gold coins.” “Oh” Mira nodded but narrowed her eyes as she looked skeptically at the black hearted couple who had tricked her previously. “You don’t believe me?” Thomas asked as he noted her skepticism. “You two have tricked me before.” Mira pouted. “Me??” Thomas asked in shock. He had never tricked anyone especially not one he considered friend. “She is talking about the watches.” Almera giggled; She knew Thomas had long forgotten about it. “Oh!” Thomas scratched the back of his head “That was an elder sister’s affection. How can I interfere?” “Um” Mira pursed

  • Second chance at happiness   My silly sister has gotten wiser.

    Jack and Mira got up at the break of dawn. It was still dark outside when Jack went out to milk. Mira went to the hutch with the cages and under the cover of the dark, she entered space and called out to the rabbits. She picked 30 of the plumpest ones in each cage and walked out. She placed one cage on the ground and dragged the other to the place where Jack usually skinned them. Jack placed the milk on the kitchen table and came out wearing the apron that Mira had stitched for him earlier. The bell chimed just as Jack was about to sit to skin. Mira had placed the milk on the fire to boil. She walked over with Jack to open the door. Both Oden and Martin had arrived. Although Oden didn’t know how to skin, he could dislocate their necks. He wanted to help with whatever he could do. Soon they brothers started to work in synchrony. Oden dislocated the necks and handed the rabbits to Jack and Martin while they concentrated on skinning the rabbit neatly. Once the rabbits were skinned, Mir

  • Second chance at happiness   Didn't you want to find a younger man?

    “Love, how did you know they were married? How did you get that parchment?” Jack asked curiously after walking far away from vicious couple. “Almera gave it to me.” Mira gave him a sly look “It was more of a hunch once I knew Jason got his entry into the selection at court through Alina’s mom.” “Her mom is …” Mira paused “Let’s just say very shrewd.” When they came across a shop that had carpentry stuff, Jack got a box of nails for 1 gold coin. Mira got 2 leather gloves that were up to their elbows for 2 gold coin each. They strolled around for a while longer and decided to go back to the shop and wait for Almera. Mira saw a shop that had similar items to the supply shop and decided to take a look. Both of them realized that the prize for some things were much cheaper here than Joe’s shop. For instance, the lavender soaps were much bigger in size and for 50 silver pieces, they could get 5; alum cost only 5 silver pieces. They decided to get their regular stuff from this shop on th

  • Second chance at happiness   She won't be able to escape the net we drew out for her.

    Back in the shop, they sat and gossiped while Jack and Thomas discussed business and economic issues. Jack was well-read. His job at the Sleghs gave him access to update and maintain his world view. Thomas soon realized that Jack was not like your average educated free man. He had a sharp brain and clarity of thought that was perhaps even superior to his… He enjoyed the conversation and even discussed issues of his estate that he was hesitating on. Jack was open and frank with his opinion as he too liked Thomas’s straight forward personality and he didn’t want his wife to be angry. Mira told Almera about their encounter with Alina and Jason. “Shameless bitch!” Almera so angry, she really wanted to hit someone. “Do you think they will give up?” Mira looked at Almera with knitted brows. “Don’t worry about the bitch” Almera smiled “She won’t be able to escape the net we drew out for her.” “Um” “That fellow is a puzzle.” Almera pursed her lips. Jack and Thomas’s attention was drawn t

  • Second chance at happiness   Of course I am so adorable; how can she not miss me?

    Mira got up after Jack fell into a deep sleep and entered space taking the oil she had bought for conditioning the furs. She worked the oil meticulously on each fur before leaving them to dry in the shade. She left space and snuggled in her husband’s warmth and fell asleep; a blissful smile hung on both their faces. Mira and Jack spent the early part of the morning cleaning the barn. They swept under the hutch and piled the rabbit droppings in one place and the manure of cow, sheep and pig in separate piles. The radishes, turnips and spinach were ready to harvest. Jack got the spade and Mira carried the empty baskets. Jack and Mira were pulling out the radishes and turnips when the bell chimed at the end. “I will go.” Jack headed to the side door. Mira continued collecting the turnips. Martin, Oden and Anne-Marie were waiting near the side door. They somehow knew the couple would be outside. “Come … come…” Jack smiled at Anne-Marie “Mira has been asking after you.” “Really?” Anne

    In Alina’s cottage- “What did you find out?” Jason asked anxiously. “Jack leaves the house around 5 in the morning and only comes back after 2 in the afternoon. Mira stays in the house all day.” Alina spoke in a bored tone. “Um” Jason nodded as he calculated in his head. Alina thought of Mira’s last words and wondered if they should let go of these stupid schemes and live their lives happily. She was no more in between them. Was there a need for these schemes? “Jas, why don’t we let go and live our lives? She will no longer come between us.” Alina asked hesitantly. Hope filling her heart. ‘Maybe they could …’ “What do you mean?” Jason narrowed his eyes in anger “You don’t understand, do you?” “Do you want to live like this?” Jason snarled “Waiting for handouts from your mom and that …. That… man?” “Is this even a life??” Jason sneered, his eyes rolling with disgust. “Jas, don’t be angry…. I ….I…” Alina bit her lower lip “Forget I said anything.” “Alina, dearest…” Jason sat ne

    “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

  • Second chance at happiness   We are never doing this again.

    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

  • Second chance at happiness   Don’t think about what is not yours.

    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

  • Second chance at happiness   Why should I hear my thoughts out loud?

    “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

  • Second chance at happiness   What do you suggest?

    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
