“I am curious about this new frame.” Almera tried to get some news from Mira about the new frame design but all she got was a mysterious smile and silence. “We need to go shopping” Almera reminded as they got back to her room. “Um” Mira nodded “Let’s go after Jack comes. He won’t be long now.” Mira looked at the clock needles pointing to 1:30. “Exchanged this for a gold sheet for me please…” Mira smiled sweetly. Almera twisted her lips into a lopsided grin as she exchanged the gold sheet. They gossiped till it was time for Jack to arrive. Almera told Mira the latest gossip she learned from court. Jason was introduced as a target for one of the Lord’s illegitimate daughters. “No… Jason is too proud to go along with that.” Mira knitted her brows, unconvinced. “Don’t get hung on her illegitimate status. She is more favored than the legitimate children.” Almera whispered. “Makes sense.” Mira nodded. “Do you want to …” Almera gestured to a sign that meant destroy the alliance. “No
Almera looked at the work Mira completed once they reached the shop. She was extremely satisfied. She decided the pattern of the dress with Mira before finalizing the model. She drew them on a parchment with her notes for the girls who were going to cut and make the dress. “Are you okay for this week? I can pay in advance.” Almera asked as she gave Mira the next 5 sets. “No need.” Mira smiled. While they were chatting, Tyle came in to announce the arrival of Hawks. Almera waved asking him to bring Hawks in. Hawks had come with two copies of the amended schedule of the contract with the two additional items they had discussed in the morning. Mira signed both copies after reading and handed them to Hawks who placed the Dulstons seal on both before returning one to Mira. Aldrin had already signed the copies. “Madam, young master said that the hanging frames have picked up rage and if you could deliver 2 of them with next week’s order.” “Um” Mira nodded with a smile. Once business w
“Don’t bother about figuring out arrangements. My wagon is not particularly tied up. I will send it later in the evening with my men to pick it up.” Aldrin waved “Let’s do like this for now. I will send someone to pick them up if there are orders and you have frames ready on Friday evening.” “Okay” Mira nodded before warning “The roses have not grown to this effect. The Trellis is bare. Have you warned your customer?” “Yes” Aldrin nodded. “Alright.” Mira nodded “What are you charging them?” “Same 100.” Aldrin chuckled “I told them aunt got the special price as she was the first person to buy it. The price of a piece similar to hers is 150 gold coins.” “Um” Mira pursed her lips into a smile. Aldrin paid another gold sheet and 13 gold coins for the Trellis stands. Mira returned to Almera's shop and asked to exchange 100 gold coins for a sheet. She had bought the 86 gold coins from the safe with her today. She told Almera about Aldrin agreeing to send the wagon to collect the Trel
Mira cleaned the 32 furs that they had just skinned and soaked them in the pickling solution as they had done previously. She noted that Jack was lost in thought since Almera left. She wondered if everything was alright with Thomas. “What’s wrong?” Mira asked as she snuggled in Jack’s embrace in space. Jack pursed his lips as he toyed with the idea of whether he should say something. “Love, I don’t want my image in your heart to be petty but I can’t help being petty. The more I get your love, the more I don't want to lose it. Initially, I thought even if it was a few days, I would cherish it and then happily let you go whenever you wanted ... but now.... I cannot...” Jack confessed as he buried his face in her neck. “Ha...aa….ha…” Mira giggled “Husband that tickles.” She wriggled as she turned to face him “I want you, to be you…” She traced her fingers down his face “If its petty then that’s what I like…. If it’s silly… then so be it…I chose to like you just the way you are.” “Hus
“Aunt, we’re here.” Jack announced as he stood at the door with the basket in one hand and his other arm wrapped around Mira’s waist. “Come… come…” Oden opened the door wider; Martin and John had already come back and was relaxing with their mug of ale. “Mira...” Anne-Marie came running from the outside as she heard their voices. She couldn’t go to visit them as second brother told them that the two of them were busy. “Um” Mira smiled as she held Anne-Marie’s hand and whispered in her ears “I bought someone to visit you.” Anne-Marie eyes widened as she looked around “Really?? Where???” “He missed you terribly and snuck in when he got whiff that we were coming here.” Mira giggled. Anne-Marie pouted as she saw the basket in Jack’s hand and the worse thought crossed her mind “You promised” “Ha…ha…ha…” Mira laughed as she saw Anne-Marie’s disappointed face. “Look here.” Mira moved the flap of the apron to reveal the little bunny popping out of her pocket as he heard Anne-Marie’s vo
Beth and John were waiting anxiously for their kids to return. But the heartless gluttons happily ate to their hearts content the delicious meal that Mira cooked. She packed some for Beth and John as she had a feeling that they wouldn’t have eaten anything. Jack didn’t stop her… He was truly feeling guilty now that he had calmed down. His aunt had always stood on his side and protected him wholeheartedly… she truly didn’t deserve his temper tantrum. Beth ran to the door as she heard them bickering noisily as they reached close to the house. Her anxious heart settled as she heard them, she knew that the grudge was forgotten. “Son, are they okay?” John asked with a guilty expression. It was his fault that he didn’t educate his daughter properly. “Um” Oden nodded “Jack asked us to tell you that he was sorry.” “More like Mira threatened him into apologizing.” Anne-Marie giggled as she told her parents what she overheard. “What is wrong with that job?” Beth asked curiously; she knew th
Mira cleaned the fat tissue and waste of the soaked furs along with Jack before soaking them again to pickle for the next 7 days. She waited patiently even though she was burning with curiosity till they finished supper and entered space before asking “What was that about?” “My sixth sense has never failed me.” Jack’s lips curled up smugly. “I was only being cautious when I told you there has to be an element of truth… but it saved us a lot of trouble.” “Huh?” “The person sent by the Dame followed us into the woods. He left only after he watched us putting the rabbits into the cage.” “I was just making sure he knew that the house was guarded.” Jack chuckled. “I … I am pretty sure he didn’t see me ducking in and out.” Mira narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips as she thought back. She was always cautious when she went in and out. Even if the woods were their private space… she made sure … “Don’t worry. I made sure he was engaged.” Jack smiled slyly “He didn’t have time to look at
Mira arrived at Almera’s shop as usual… the only difference was she was not wearing her normal dress but rather the pink gown. “I will wait for you here.” Jack kissed her goodbye before leaving for work. “You’re here.” Almera smiled. “Ready??” She raised her eyebrows challengingly, waving her hand towards the dresses that were completed and packed. “Um” Mira’s thoughts were no longer on the appointment with the queen. Her mind was reeling on how she could protect Almera. “You seem preoccupied??” Almera teased “Are you scared?” “Nope…” Mira giggled deciding to put her thoughts to the back of her mind “How can I be scared of gallows when I have such beautiful company?” “We will party all the way to afterlife.” Mira giggled, her imagination taking a rich charm. “Ha…. ha…. ha….” Almera laughed happily “That is a must.” The appointment with the queen was only at 10, there was plenty of time. Mira gave the completed work to Almera. “What do you want to charge?” Almera wanted to hea
