The battle between Isabelle and Grandia was soon over and Isabelle was at the end of victory, Sabellius had gained unimaginable power on the battlefield to everyone dismay.

Which made the king and emperor furious, but Ariadna didn't care about that . She was glad to hear he was okay and God had answered her prayers. When she had received the news she cried tears of joy and was planning for his return. Everyone was having happy thoughts now every nook and cranny was clean and the place was just how he liked it, all the servants and household members waited at the gate for Sabellious's return. With Ariadna at the front who; could barely contain her joy as the calvary stopped at the gate, Ariadna looked at the black horse and the man in black armor then bowed.

"Welcome your highness" she said politely

Sabellius came down from the horse and removed his helmet armor, then raised her chin with his hand looking down at her. She also looked up at him and saw his eyes piercing down at her as if he could see right through her.

"Disappointed I have returned more livelier than before?" He asked

O'ryan rolled his eyes, annoyed that his highness still doesn't get it.

"No, I'm not" she said trying hard to contain her emotions

"Tsk"

'Tsk?' Ariadna thought

Aria was surprised, she looked at O'ryan and he just looked away. It seems that he had picked up a few habits on the battlefield, nevertheless. He was still her husband Sabellious looked around surprised.

"Is it the whole palace members here?" He inquired

"Yes, we were awaiting your return may I?"

She offered her hand out for the sword but he clutched on to it.

"No, I will keep it" he said nods coldly

She was delighted to know he got attached to the sword, she had hired a blacksmith personally and had to do some hard work herself that resulted in a burned scar on her arm. That she hides with the many long sleeves dresses she wears to hide the ugly thing from her husband, now seeing him like this towards the swords. Show that her hard work has paid off.

"Shall we go inside? The chef had prepared some food and your chambers were attended to. if you need some rest the bath is ready as well" she informed thoroughly

There was nothing she hadn't thought of, bath, work, food, bed every likely scenario Sabellius would choose, she was prepared for.

"Hah, it almost feels like you've been waiting for me. Well I'll go take a bath then" he said smirking coldly

She moved aside and let him pass; she smiled happily behind him. O'ryan walked up to her with a giant man. He had black hair and brown eyes. There is a scar at the side of his face. She held her chin and looked at him. He looked a bit intimidating.

"O'ryan" she said looking at the taller figure behind him

"Hello my lady, it's been quite a long time this sir behind me is Roy Lincoln. His one of his highness most trusted knight" he said assuring her

"That's good to know, Hello mr Lincoln"

"No need for the formality my lady, I am a mere commoner" he said

"So? I don't mind, everyone who's on his his highness's side deserve respect in my eyes" she stated calmly

She nod and turned returning to the palace

"That his highness's wife?" Roy asked

"Yes I know, they are polar opposite if she is human; his highness is inhumane"

Sabellius was well respected by O'ryan on many things, but matters relating marriage and women was a no no. Sabellius was heartless; he was handsome, very handsome but too cruel for him to ask on matters relating to the heart and yet he had such a wife.

Sabellius relaxed in the bath, it had been a long time since he can be eased like this. In the battle was hell he couldn't even eat without worrying about dying, and now relaxing in this bath made it worth living. The nice floral scent made him feel relaxed along with the steam opening his pores. The servants seems to know there job well and so after he achieve his goal he shall reward them handsomely for a perfect job well done. But now all he will do is relax and soak it all in he had spoke too soon he look at the door to see Adriadna, who was his wife at the door.

He tilts his head curiously what was she doing? He was confused.
