His Wife ( Granger X Lesley )

2

Sunrays keeps on hitting on the same spot of her eyes, making Lesley uncomfortable. She wakes up. Harley was gone to school, maybe and her curtains and windows are all wide open. It's half past eight, still early.

A small size letter on her table bed caught her attention. Lesley picks it up.

Dear Lesley, I'm sorry for leaving you suddenly. I've been accepted to Ursula Academy of Magic! It's like a dream. Last night was our last day together. Don't worry, I'll be back later, after I received enough knowledge here. Thanks you sis!
- Yours, Harley.

Lesley was quite shocked. Her eyes are full of tears. She didn't even had the time to say goodbye. How cruel they keep this as a secret? Well, it should be. She could be irrational and emotional upon this trivia. She can visit him later, if she can.

Lesley wipes her tear. She combs her long magenta hair before braid it, making it shorter. Then, she takes a fresh bath. She then walks down to the kitchen, finding only mushroom soup and some breads left.

"Well, I guess it's better than nothing." Lesley chuckles. She can't cook. The maids must left already.

A few days ago, a letter which surprisingly from the princess received by Lesley. It stated that she was invited to be a sniper for the empire. How nice it is. She got a stable job, how wonderful.

Ah, perhaps I should go now.

That's what she thought. She take her jacket on and left the house locked.

"How many time that we've dicussed this shit?!" Granger nearly hit his butler with his guitar case. Just because only Saber kneel down, he was spared.

"But your highness, it's—"

"Talk again and I slashed you into two. I hate that wicked woman!" Granger sigh, before sits down. Saber was relieved, he was far from his angry master.

"Your higness, it's a demand from the princess. She thought that you looks lonely—"

"Fuck off, Saber!" His red eyes shine. It's a sign that Saber should leave the room, if he wants his precious life to be safe. He run, leaving his master alone.

Granger sigh. Why does that princess keeps asking him to get married? She's also single! Why she bothers another people's life?

"I'll give that damn woman a visit today. Huh." He undo his zip, leaving his upper body exposed. It was bandaged. Granger wrapped it as it cover his ugly scars from previous and various fight with the demon.

Then, it became a habit that he always bandage his body before wear clothes. Granger then called for Saber.

"Saber!"

"Yes, your highness." He was standing far at the door. Didn't have the courage to enter the room.

"Prepare my gift for the princess. We'll pay her a friendly visits now." Granger cracked his knuckle. Saber was sweating. Oh no, what is he thinking? But before, his master and the princess are friends. After the reclaim of the prince, everything seems pretty fine except for some demons that always tresspass here and there.

"Now? As you wish, your highness." Saber bow before close the door. Meanwhile, Granger sigh. He still had no clue about the curse that happened to him. He was born with red eyes. Many people assume that he was cursed. Yup, that's it.

He then stretch himself after stands up from his seat. Still, it was early in the morning. He decides to take a fresh bath again.

Meanwhile, Saber was in his own world.

Hm, white gem or purple gem? The princess would love white right? But, hmm. If I made a mistake again, your highness—

"Pick anything you like, Saber. Make it quick. Warm my bath now." Granger insist. He already grabs his towel. Saber feels clumsy. He wraps the white gem neatly before run to the bathroom. He fills the tab with warm water. Chamomile essent is a must for his warm headed master.

"I'm done, your highness." He bow before left the bathroom. Granger put his towel aside before lock the door. He submerged himself in the warm bath. So relaxing!

"Thanks." Lesley get down from the carriage. It's such a long way to be here. She was a bit late from what she expected, but it's okay. Better late than never.

She show the guard about her letter, and they give her permission to meet the princess. She was quite busy nowadays. During her walk, she bumped to someone.

"Harith?"

"Sister Lesley?"

Both of them were a bit shocked to find each other here.

"What are you doing here, sister? Where's Harley?" Harith asks. He was quite amuse to see Lesley was here, wearing her blue vest and high boots.

"I'm meeting the princess. Harley is not here. He's learning in academy." Lesley push her long hair backward. It was a bit distracting.

"Wow, Harley already go? How wonderful. Come, I'll get you to the princess." Harith take a few steps before Lesley follows.

How wonderful to meet his little brother's friend. Cute.

After a few minutes, they both arrived. It was a good looking field. Lesley could see the princess is praticing. She was good in her spear or we called it lance. Harith let Lesley to sit for a while before he make some coffee for her. Lesley just nods before sit down. She was focused on the princess.

A while, the princess seems a bit tired. She looked back and saw Lesley smiling at her. Hurried, she walks to her guest.

"Oh, I'm sorry miss Vance! I totally forgot that you are coming today. My bad!" She wipes her sweat with clean, small towel before sits in front of Lesley.

"It's okay, princess. Take your time." She smile.

"Hehe, okay. Can I get a quick bath? It's embarrasing to greet you. I'm all sweaty and smelly clothes." Silvanna put away her spear before waits for the answer.

"Sure, princess. We've got all day. I'm waiting." Upon hearing that, Silvanna grins. She then left the field, leaving Lesley alone there. Fortunately, it was not a hot day for Lesley and she was under a parasol.

But then, something unexpected occur. Lesley were all wet. Her hair was full of coffee.

"What the?!" She stands up before turns around.
