“How about Miss Violet?” alana asked in silence for a moment.
Tia sipped her warm tea, she had briefly thought what answer made the most sense, “She was fine, we got close after her arrival to the residence,”
“Thank God, you must have known, if Miss Violet was a prospective fiancee Adeis,”
“Duh, you are this!” Ivona nudged her elbows, she whispered softly, “It's been a long time, fearing this talk makes her uncomfortable,”
“It's okay, I already know that. Thankfully, Miss Violet is still on good terms with Adeis, I also heard stories from Miss Violet, that they have been friends since childhood,”
“Gosh, you are so kind,” Alana smiled kindly to Tia, “The rumors of the people before the news of your marriage with Adeis spread, very evil and inversely proportional to what you just see now. Looks like, the three of us will become familiar after this,”
“True,” says Ivona.
“I hope so too.”
After they had a small talk, Tia decided to go home, saying goodbye to Ivona and Alana. Not to forget, they both thanked Tia again because she had given Calia plant seeds. Ivona says that in order for Tia to often accept invitations from other noble ladies, Tia can only agree with her words.
On the horse carriage, while on the way, Tia said something to the horse coachman, that she and Aria would take a short walk in the downtown market. Surely, Aria had prepared a robe for herself as well as Tia. Because they have to disguise themselves as ordinary people. Tia did not want to be too conspicuous in front of others.
“We only took about thirty minutes to get here,” said Aria helped Tia to put on her robe. “Please wait a moment yes sir coachman, we will be back soon,”
“Good.”
Tia walked after Aria, from a distance they could already see the hawker stands, and heavy food. Tia suddenly remembered the time she lived in the modern world. He often spends time on his weekends hunting food with his best friend. It was a very happy moment, as well as a fun one.
“Nona, I want to see the milk cake there yes, you just look around first,” whispered Aria to Tia, to which Tia answered with a nod.
Tia turned her head towards the stand standing beside her, there was a meat satay that was being burned by one of the sellers. He gulped his saliva, “I want to buy his meat satay, and.. hmmm, please pack ten skewers, yes,” he finally so buy it.
“Alright, wait a minute lady,” said the seller.
While his eyes glanced at another stand, he suddenly remembered what a good gift to give Adeis. When he saw a stand that sold trinkets. His attention was drawn to the thick red shirt brooch that was displayed on a box. Tia decided to go there and take a closer look.
“There can I help you, lady?” said the trinket seller.
“How many brooches in this red?” Tia pointed to one of the white boxes. There is a round shirt brooch with a diamond lotus flower in the middle. Tia so remembered the color of the brooch with the eye color Adeis, deep red color.
“It's very expensive lady, I got the diamond while I was working in mine with my friend. After that, I took the initiative to carve and make it into a brooch, are you sure to buy it?”
“Wah, from diamonds? I didn't think it was made of ruby. I will buy it,” replied Tia.
“Then I sell it forty thousand gulden only for you,”
“Good, please packed well, because I will gift it to someone,”
The seller raised both eyebrows simultaneously, “So right? you want to give it to your lover. Take it easy lady, I am sure she will be happy and immediately hug the lady right then and there,”
Tia chuckles, “You could,” of course Adeis will not behave like that. After the seller had packed the goods purchased by Tia, the woman finally returned to the meat satay stand to take her shopping there.
“What do you buy?” Aria came at the same time, “I bought a snack of milk cake for you, we can enjoy it in the afternoon in the park. By the way I also bought milk cake for my sister,”
“Oh yes? I just bought a brooch for Duke. And I, too, buy you meat satay, if you want, I can buy it for your sister,”
“Alright... Then, do you want to go for a walk in a moment?”
“Wahhh, come miss.. I will invite you to watch a little opera there, if not wrong today the theme of the story is about Lady Shenia, it's a very beautiful and romantic story!” Aria is happy not to play, she immediately pulls Tia's wrist to go where she wants.
It's really fun. Because for Tia, being happy is that simple.
...***...
“Rudell?”
“Nona Tia?” Rudell was suddenly shocked by Tia's presence at the sword-shaded training ground.
“Where is lord Duke?” tia asked without further ado, she clasped the small dark blue box in her hand.
“He is resting, miss. but, he no longer seems to be in the study,” Rudell said, the man scratching his neck which is not itchy at all, he was currently practicing sword training alone.
“Alright, then thank you, zest for her training,” Tia finally passed away. He had been looking for Adeis in the park and training ground, usually the person was always there in the afternoon. But, the trunk of his nose was not even visible.
Finally he decided to visit Adeis' bedroom, well, although according to Tia this is not polite, but his heart was pounding. Therefore, the first time she set foot in her husband's room. Tia did not even know why, her mind could directly tell her to just put it in her room. And fortunately, Tia already knew exactly Adeis' bedroom in Aqashia's palace.
“Excuse me,” said Tia slowly, she knocked on the door several times, but there was no answer at all. In front of Adeis's bedroom there were no guards or knights to guard, because who would want to kill the infamous Duke, who was so powerful on the battlefield? “Yang majesty... I entered yes,” Tia said so, he opened the door knob of the room, and looked around the room Adeis.
“Where the hell, she?” inwardly Tia, she let out a rough sigh, the woman finally put the dark blue box on the nightstand that was close to the mattress.
THE CLUCK!
“Oh?”
“...?”
“AAA -AKHHH MY EYES!” Tia screamed in her heart, when she saw someone who had just walked out of a room. A man wearing a bathrobe, showing half the shape of his stomach is very, very sixpack. This sight was so dazzling to her eyes, Tia could faint if she kept seeing this.
“You nosebleed?”
“Hah?” Tia touched the philtrum with her index finger. Suddenly, he immediately raised his head up, why is he nosebleed again now? is it because of seeing Adeis who just came out of the bathroom, and showed his body shape?
Adeis who saw Tia who was confused, then immediately gave a handkerchief to Tia who had folded neatly on the table. “What are you doing here?”
“I, deliver something, anu.. a gift,” said Tia, she rubbed the handkerchief gently on her nose.
“Gift? why?”
“Because you allowed the document, I thank you,” Tia was annoyed to hear a casual reply from Adeis.
“Hmmm..” Adeis muttered, the man glanced at the dark blue box above his nightstand, after Tia pointed at him.
“If you don't like it's okay, but if you like it, I'm happy too. Although I know maybe it is for you very mediocre, but I am very interested in the color,” Tia restarted her acting in front of Adeis, the woman rubbed her nose while smiling sumringah, she said, “I remember you, when I saw the gift,”
“Why..”.
