Aria bowed before the man who was in front her with grace and elegance, this was her husband to be despite most marriages being unhappy at first. She was happy with the man right now in front of her, even if he was hated by everyone. It was only right for a wife to love her husband no matter what and though she spent the first night alone she did not complain. It was her husband, the man whom she will share the rest of her life with.
"Why are you here? Do you need something?" he asked in an arrogantly cold tone
"No I'm okay" she said calmly giving a polite smile
She did not show her sadness because she did not want to be a burden to her husband even if she was upset about not spending the first night.
"Then why are you here?" he asked calmly
"I shall leave then" she nods then turns, knowing that it wasn't much of a question.
The man was obviously displeased by her presence and she could not blame him; she was meant as a mockery towards him; who was not favored by anyone.
"Here, this will lighten his mood and remember to do it discreetly; he does not like being disturbed" she reminded the servant thoroughly.
Even after 3 months of being married Sabellious's anger did not cool down. But that did not discourage her from learning more about her husband, she lowered her head and swiped her lock of hair behind her ear to smell the freshly primed rose to see if they were well mended. She doesn't want this place to be unattended, the roses were in good condition.
"Yes, it is alright. Good job" she said
The gardeners smiled at their madame. Usually no one pays such keen attention to their work and even when they did a tacky job they didn't care, but now that madam was here they felt appreciated as she paid attention to every little bit of detail and praised them if a job was well done. But reprimand them if not and would be punished accordingly. It was good to have her here.
Aria walked along the way checking the scenery. It was good but she could try and do better to make it lighter and more enjoyable for her husband but sadly she must start from here.
"My lady" a voice in the distant called forth
She turned her head to see O'ryan, the assistant of her husband; he slightly bowed in respect and she gave a gesture for him to stand up.
"I see your checking the place again" he said as he could smell the freshly trimmed grasses
"Yes" she paused for a moment. "it seemed as though I'm not doing a good job, I just need to try harder then" she touched her cheek her chin as if to think
From his point of view she was doing an excellent job and he wasn't a man who was easily pleased. The place looked more livelier and fresh so much that Sabellius, who didn't want to admit it, found it refreshing.
"How is his highness? if I may ask?" she asked eagerly but with some hesitation
He was wondering when she was going to bring him up, she always inquired about him though he never asked about her even though he understands why. He was still angry about the matter. There was no need to hold on to a long time grudge, what's done is done, they are married now nothing can be done. It was a pity really Aria was such a good wife it didn't feel like a loss but in reality it was.
"His highness fine" he answered blankly but polite
"O'ryan please don't make his highness work too much, if he sticks to the papers like that he will have upcoming headache which only results in bad temper" she said
Even if that was not the case his temper was naturally bad. O'ryan has never seen that man he called master smile once even a slight flinch. It was either he was either angry or just cold as stone, sometimes he wondered if that's the only 2 emotions he knew.
"I'll try my best my lady"
"If he gets headaches just make some lemon tea he has a taste for things with strong bitter or sour flavors" she adds
Sometimes he wonders how she knows these things when she is not around him that much. And he barely shows any emotions and to top it off no one could tell what he was thinking. Was she a secret magician? though the things she recommends helps and none of the servants hesitates at her orders .
"Well I must be on my way my lady" he said taking a bow
"Yes and tell his highness good afternoon" she said
The aid nod and now then leave.
