“We will leave the cage here.” Oden spoke after being silent for a while.

“Huh?” Mira looked at him in confusion.

“We will be troubling cousin as we will come and get one or two for supper or dinner every day.” Oden smiled.

“If we take the cage and one of the other tenants see them, we have to give it to the Sleghs if they come looking.” Oden explained seeing Mira’s confused gaze.

“Everything we have is a loan. We are servants of the Sleghs.” Oden had a helpless expression. “If we take this and we have to hand it over to the Sleghs, then we will be disrespecting cousins’ good intention.”

“This way, they can’t find fault with us.” Oden was prudent in his thoughts and actions.

“In that case, no problem. Come and take whenever you please.” Mira smiled as she leaned on Jack.

“We better get going or mom’s going to worry.”

“Um” Jack and Mira walked them to the edge of the road and waved goodbye.

Mira went stirred both sets of furs again before putting the pails in the outer shed and

    “Mom, make something you and dad like. We had a really big meal at cousins.” Martin had a satisfied smile as he spoke. “Mom, I think I should have a light soup.” Oden touched his paunch with a sheepish smile. They truly were pigs today. “Mom, they ate a whole rabbit all by themself.” Anne-Marie whispered in Beth’s ears before giggling “I tried too… but who asked my stomach to be small?” Beth shook her head helplessly “Oden’s father, what do you want?” “I want to roast it on fire…” John’s eyes showed a rare twinkle, but he soon suppressed it “But the neighbors will know for sure. Let’s just do something simple." “Tell ‘em to go to hell.” Martin was a rebel; he never cared what others thought. If he thought it was right, that was good enough for him. “I will set the fire.” He walked out arrogantly. “I will make sure he doesn’t burn this cottage down.” Oden chuckled as he followed his brother. For once, he agreed. He threw caution in the air and walked out to help Martin build the

    Mira woke up early with Jack the next morning. She didn’t feel tired at all. She wondered if it was a dream that she got up and worked at night? She went to her work room and checked before coming to the conclusion that it had something to do with her space. Jack milked the cow while Mira stirred all the pails before going in to get breakfast ready. She had baked fresh bread last night; Jack ate breakfast before setting off to deliver milk to his aunt. Mira sat back at the slate stand and worked on the design on the hand sleeves. Mira finished this work as Jack returned. She went and stirred the three pails again before settling in start the work the half-finished work from last week. She scribbled on the parchment 10 before starting. She worked for an hour and stopped. She went in to space and picked up the dead rabbit that she thrown in on Friday. The rabbit looked like it was only killed a few minutes ago; Even the body temperature was still warm. “Husband” She walked to Jack’s

    Jack was peacefully enjoying his meal when the doorbell rang. Mira had finished eating and was sitting back watching him eating with relish. “I will go.” Jack knew her shadow from the incident hadn’t diminished.” Martin and Anne-Marie stood at the door. “Come in.” Jack closed the door once they came in and walked back to the dining table. “Are you still eating?” Martin asked in surprise. They came this late giving them time to eat. “Have you eaten?” Mira smiled. Anne-Marie shook and then nodded. The smell wafting in her nose and tempting her to say ‘no’ but mom would kill her when she got back. “Ha…ha…ha…” Mira laughed looking at Anne-Marie’s cute expression “Would you like to eat some?” Anne-Marie nodded throwing a side glance at Martin, only to be surprised to see him nodding as well. She got them both plates and plated some similar to what she had done for Jack. “Cousin, do you want to adopt a cute and extremely obedient, well-behaved most desirable girl?” Anne-Marie blinke

    Joan turned her head arrogantly ‘There was nothing wrong with what she said. They didn’t lock rooms when the bastard stayed with them!’ Mira held Jack’s hand to calm him and smiled reassuringly gesturing to him to remain silent. “That is my work room.” Mira spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing tone “The clothes in there belong to the lords and their wives. I am afraid that I cannot afford to pay if I damage the clothes, so I never leave the door open even if there is no one in the house.” “There is no need to explain.” Beth apologized “It is my fault I didn’t teach well.” “Says who?” Mira laughed “Didn’t you bring Anne-Marie up? She is an angel.” “Gluttonous angel” Martin chuckled as they came out of the kitchen. Jack closed the kitchen door behind them, and everyone chose to forget Joan’s snide remark. “Mom, look this is the cage cousin made for us.” Anne-Marie showed the cages that the rabbits were kept. “Cousin did you give them food again?” Anne-Marie asked in shock.

  • Second chance at happiness   Have you offended anyone recently?

    Beth was laughing her head out listening to Martin and Anne-Marie’s bicker. She had never had time to sit like this. She was truly grateful to Mira for this experience. She looked up and saw the couple walking together in blissful harmony. Jack was holding the tray and walking beside Mira, nodding and smiling, this was a rare sight; Jack didn’t smile or rather they thought he didn’t smile. This was a side of him reserved only for Mira. Mira was walking beside him holding the pail and chattering non-stop. “Oden’s father, the children are going to be alright, right?” She looked at John for confirmation. John nodded. “Where did you two go?” Martin raised his eyebrows teasingly. “Let’s gather some firewood.” Jack made an expression that read ‘get married if you want to know’ look as he suggested to the others. “Alright.” Anne-Marie jumped up. Joan sat unusually quiet. She wanted to say something mean and disrespectful, but she had just eaten a plateful of really tasty food. She decid

  • Second chance at happiness   He is a free man like you.

    Jack and Mira woke up early as their norm. Jack milked the cow while Mira got breakfast ready. She went out to check on the rabbits in the cage and coop. She fed them with the kitchen scraps after sending Jack off to work. She led the cow and sheep for grazing and locked their paddock. She opened the outside door for the piglets to run amok in the mud pit and left the two dogs in charge of each area. She stirred the furs and picked up the spade as she remembered the fish she had left in space. She carried it with her into the house. She locked at the doors due to the scare from last time. She was not going to open till Jack came back. She entered space with the spade and decided on a spot she wanted to keep the fish. She started digging till she had dug knee deep; she copied Jack’s basin measurement one person long and three persons wide. “Now for some water.” Mira thought out loud as she turned to take the pail with the fish and water. She looked down as she felt a cold sensation o

    “You want me to go alone?” Mira frowned as she walked out with a bowl of mushroom soup. “No… no…no…” Jack shook his head like a rattle. He didn’t… god knows he didn’t… he just… Mira lifted her eyebrows skeptically as she sized Jack’s guilty face “You did not…” She narrowed her eyes “think that I was going to that …...” “No … no…no…” Jack shook his head denying with all his might, but his red face and lowered eyes were a big giveaway. “Hmph” Mira humped as she placed the soup in front of him and turned to return to the kitchen, but Jack pulled her back into his embrace and hugged her tightly “Love forgive me…please.” He buried his head in her neck acting like a spoilt child. Mira wriggled as she felt ticklish. Jack held her more tightly as he thought she was angry with him and trying to get away. “Love, I am sorry. I ….” Jack spoke in a low voice “You have said it yourself, you have loved him for more than 7 years… you said that you have lived and breathed with a dream of being hi

    Mira and Jack walked towards the rendezvous spot. Jack half expected her leave his hand as they neared but she didn’t. Alina and Jason were sitting canoodling each other under the tree. They didn’t expect Mira to come early. “Cough… cough…” Mira cleared her mouth to make her presence known. Alina and Jason repelled away from each other as they though had been stung. “Mira, dear…” Jason called out in shock. He didn’t expect to come seeing what she did. Mira took a step back, holding on to Jack’s hand tightly. “Mira, we …” Alina feigned a sorrowful expression “I was only pacifying him.” “Mira, why is he here?” Jason asked restraining his anger, his eyes looked at her accusingly. It didn’t matter that he was canoodling Alina a minute ago… that was all well and above board. But Mira to be holding another man’s hand was unacceptable. “Why can’t he be here?” Mira asked with an innocent expression before sighing “He is my legal husband after all.” “Mira ..you…” Jason pointed in anger

  • Second chance at happiness   Do you know where my second master is?

    Once the king and the supreme rulers had taken the seats in the chamber of secrets, the chiefs of each governing body in the country entered for their private meeting with the king once their names were called out by the royal messenger. This solemn ceremony was the rite of passage where the new king is entrusted as the keeper of ancient secrets of the country from its inception, things that were for the king’s ears only. The other curious thing was no two chiefs entered at the same time. Each had only knowledge of the matter they were entrusted with. The only living person in the entire kingdom who had knowledge of all the secrets was the king and the supreme rulers.The rite passage ceremony went on till late through the night. No matter how anxious Cornelius was to get to his godson and blast the hell out of the household of Southamberston, he had to wait for the next day.The next day, Jack called everyone to the study very early in the morning. No one thought much of it till they

    “What wrong?” Jack asked as he smoothed the frown adorning his wife’s beautiful face as they sat in the carriage on their way back to the Southamberston estate.Mira shook her head to indicate it was nothing although the confusion on her face didn’t disappear.“What is it that troubles my wife?” Jack tilted her chin to face him “Something is bothering you from the time of the crowning ceremony.”Mira raised her eyebrows in surprise. She never expected Jack to notice. She thought he was distracted by everything around them and that she had covered it well.“Nothing can distract me from you.” Jack chuckled looking at his wife’s silly expression.“Smooth talker.” Mira pouted as she rested back in his embrace although her heart felt it was dipped in honey. It was a blissful feeling to know that the person you loved also had only you in their eyes.“What is it?” Jack wasn’t going to give up without an answer.“Nothing… it’s just…” Mira bit her lips hesitating whether to speak but decided to

    Thomas and Jack looked at their wives who were giggling foolishly and shook their heads helplessly. Thomas introduced Jack to the other gentry helping him build connections while the ladies gossiped. The hot topic for the ladies was of course, the fabulous gown that Mira and Almera were wearing. Everyone wanted to know where the materials were purchased and how long it would take to get them made.Matthew and Harry mingled with old acquaintances introducing their wives and John. Martin and Oden stood politely by their side. Both felt extremely awkward and overwhelmed as they had never attended such an affair in their lifetime although Oden kept a calm façade given his training at Slegh’s.Joan stood in the periphery of the hall with Emma staring viciously at their family that was dressed like the nobles, enjoying everyone’s admiration. Joan couldn’t understand why she had to stand in a corner forgotten even though she carefully planned for herself to rise to prominence. She couldn’t st

    Cornelius’s eyes narrowed as he spotted Harrison behind Jack before sighing in a whisper “Kids! Didn’t we tell them to keep it quiet?”He turned to signal Parker as he realized that there was only Harrison following Jack. Of course, he knew Harrison represented the Hariebot’s and thereby Jack’s maternal home.“Wasn’t the edict awarding the dukedom passed on to Southamberston?”“Yes, your royal supreme majesty.” Parker bowed respectfully.“Then why isn’t the butler here to receive and guide the lord?” Cornelius’s temper rose “I need an explanation for this arrogance. I will visit the duchy after the feast. I want to see who dares?”“There…. There….” Aglaya gently tapped on Cornelius hand “Let’s deal with it later. Don’t spoil the festivities with your temper.”“Haiiii” Cornelius sighed before sitting back.Orseus hooked his eyebrows towards Bernard as he noted the change in his parents’ expression. Bernard shrugged before turning to look at his father for an explanation. Parker blinked

    Similar to the sacred hall, everyone gathered in the grand hall according to their status. However, unlike the ceremony in the sacred hall not everyone attended. It was attended only by those who had an invitation among the freemen and servants.Jack and his entourage walked into the hall under the lead of Harrison and Lazarus to the section reserved for the Southamberston. Joan and Emma watched as they saw their family walking through the crowd unhindered under the protection of the Southamberston guards first with wide open mouths and then slowly gritted their teeth in resentment as they thought of their plight where they were waiting in the crowd.Emma clenched her fists as she threw a resentful glare at Joan whom she decided was the cause of all her misery; if it were not for Joan, she would be the one wearing that beautiful gown and walking through the crowd with her head held high, attracting the envy of the crowd. Joan did not notice the resentment in Emma’s gaze as she wasn’t i

    “By this holy oil and the power bestowed on me by the ancestors and your Royal father, I anoint you as king of Hal from this moment forth” The chief of the elder priests poured the holy oil using the ceremonial spoon on Orseus’s head.The elders of each adorned him with golden spurs and armills. The grand dukes along with Knight commander Parker Hemmington knelt on the ground raising the four swords above the heads pledging their allegiance once the Elders finished and stepped aside. Each of the elders, blessed the sword and passed it finally to the chief elder; each time the chief elder would raise the sword and present it to Orseus who was seated on the high throne proclaiming-“With the swords of righteousness, do justice, protect the faith of the ancestors, help and defend widows and orphans, restore the things that are perishing due to our negligence, maintain that which have been restored by the life force of your ancestors, punish and reform what is unjust all the while upholdin

    Jack and his team made their way to their position in the procession. Everyone was excited. This was their first time participating in the procession. Anne-Marie could help but keep looking at the bear within the sun printed on the smock. This was the only differentiating factor in the smocks. Every smock had the insignia of the duchy printed within the country flag which was painted on the front and back of the smock. Not even Matthew and Harry had attended one of these events.The previous king didn’t have a coronation, he upsurged the throne in anger. The coronation before that was more than 50 years ago and the ones who could remember the event could be counted on fingers as the event was not open to everyone. In the past, the coronation was only attended by the nobility. This was one of Cornelius’s reforms even though he never had a coronation; Everyone citizen, noble, freeman or slave could attend the coronation.In line with the past traditions, the bells at the clock tower rang

    The arrangement for the coronation ceremony was slightly different from previous years to increase efficiency. In the previous years, the elite of the society met in the palace hall and joined the procession after breakfast. This year, the palace guards formed 20 parking stations and associated tents for the nobility and 20 parking stations with tents for commoners although the facilities in the tent were not comparable to that of nobility; Each carriage that would park at any one of these stations where the palace guards would provide the smocks in the color identifying their social status.The concept of wearing this head-to-toe smock was to represent the flag which was the rising sun. The royal family and their household would be wearing golden smocks; similarly, the grand dukes and their household would be wearing orange, the dukes and their household would be amber, the lords would be yellow mixed with amber, nobles, scholars, merchants of high status in bright yellow, commoners i

    “I am afraid I have to disappoint you.” Thomas’s lips curled up as he remembered his banter with Mira. “Your Grace is being modest.” Ecky shook his head in denial as he thought ‘No one would be able to match his master’. Thomas chuckled as he let Ecky help him dress. Although he was no longer in a panic to rush to Almera’s side, he still got ready hurriedly. He had figured out the reason for her scream, now it was more out of curiosity… curious what shock Mira had given his wife. Almera had just finished dressing and walked into the main lounge when she saw Thomas staring at her in a daze like a fool. “Who stole my husband’s soul?” Almera giggled as she walked up to him. Who didn’t like to see undisguised admiration and infatuation in their lover’s eye? “The enchantress is before me…” Thomas whispered as he hugged Almera’s waist claiming sovereignty “But I will be gladly held captive by her for all eternity.” “Someone’s got their mouth in the honey jar...
