✧RETURNING TO GERMANY✧

◊━━━━━✥━━━━━◊

***

Rhea had owled those she needed to the following morning, claiming that she would be away in Germany for the next few days and wouldn't be easily reached. But upon entering the manor once more, it had been such a reviving feeling that Alphard had nearly laughed at his wife's expression.

"I'll be sure to take as many opportunities to come here as we can."
"That's alright, your brother can handle it just as well as you. And he has a reason for the excuse."
"Ah yes, he did have a few creative words for me when I was gone for that jump of time. But it turned out for the better, did it not?"
"If it weren't for your work I'd say you would be long-married and that would leave me without you, so yes...It turned out for the better." He moved forward to place another kiss to both her cheek and lips.

"I'd better check in. Will you be alright on your own for a bit? I believe it'll only take a few hours every day, out and otherwise."
"Yes yes, just don't forget to feed me twice a day and give me constant sunlight." He chuckled at her ability to subject herself as being as low maintenance as a plant.

"While you blush like a beautiful rose, I must reframe—My nickname of little goddess is the first I ever called you. And I was correct."
"Actually, Rhea is the mother of Zeus and the rest. So that would make me a Titian goddess." She said with a wink before nudging him.

"Makes sure all is well, I can't imagine how those families are feeling after having lost a chunk of their income. Please make it right?" Alphard had felt on top of the world seeing how Rhea was looking towards him as though he was a fair king, and he certainly did just as she instructed.

To make things right, while Rhea had a last-minute thought.

"Betty? Could you speak to the German elves?" She questioned, and her adorable little servant nodded. "Good, I think it's best we prepare for guests to come, just in case Alphard has an epiphany to send out invitations." With an ordered place to secure food for a few people, Rhea had been rest assured she had managed to do something right.

Thinking ahead at the possibility, even if it didn't come to turn into a reality it was still an option.

As of yet, however, she was touching up on the final details of her current work. The very one that Alphard had asked countless times as to why it was taking so long, as she managed to have his birthday present within two weeks—And here this one is taking more than a month.

It was her mistake, venturing into the realm of realistic persons once again. But she couldn't complain, her method was getting better and she was sure this would pass well with her husband.

Granted, there wasn't a really set place to put this—Their bedroom?

Rhea's only request would be to not have it in the view of anyone to see.

"Rhea? Oh thank goodness, I thought you had stepped out again." It was true, after the first two days, Rhea had decided to head to the town and purchase a few paints that she had run out of...And thus decided to shop for both her study and art room.

But now she was all set, and she looked up to her husband with a blissful smile. Even if his hair was disheveled. "I don't think I need to step out at all, unless we could get some take-out from the little restaurant you took me to last time?" She questioned, and once against the guilt had settled deeply onto his face.

"Rhea...I hate to ask this of you but—I need to meet with a few people."
"Hm? So you're asking because...?"
"Because a few couples will be coming over tomorrow night. For dinner." He waited for the backlash, and she placed down her brush and thought for a moment.
