The Aconitum Flower

ALORA EMBRY

"My Lord, have I kept you waiting for a long time?"

"No." the hall today is full they probably want to see Damien?

"Sir Frederick the roses you gave me last time was really beautiful, where did you buy the flowers?"

"Oh, at the Capital, may I ask why?"

"I want to buy and send some to Lady Dinah."

"You're so kind, you must really miss her." I smiled at him and shake my head; you didn't know this, but I am the one who killed her. Tsk. He said the store where he did buy the flowers and I thank him.

"Your ring it's... It's beautiful." and after that, he stayed silent as we eat.

"Thank you for escorting me here."

"I enjoy eating with you. Good night, Lady Alora."

"Good night."

I thought Damien will go to my room that night but he didn't come and I still didn't see even his shadow this morning and because he knows how to use wield magic, he will also be joining our class but he didn't attend the class. When my class was already done, I ask permission to go to the capital and they allow me so I did bring Leah with me.

"Do you know this store?" I told him the name of the store and he nodded.

"Yes, My Lady."

"Bring me there."

"Yes, My Lady."

"Leah, do you always go to the capital?"

"Sometimes, when I'm still serving at the Viscounty. I used to run errands for the Viscount."

"How old are you?"

"Oh, I'm turning sixteen next month." She must start working at such a young age.

"You are only a year younger than me. What about your family?"

"My mother is sick and I have two younger siblings, that is why I am glad to work at the academy."

"Let's visit your house later."

"Ah my Lady, why-"

"Hmm, you help me last time so it's time to repay it."

"Yes."

"My Lady, we're already here." he opened the door and I was amazed to see different flowers.

"Red roses please and these lilies."

"Wait for a moment, My Lady. I will prepare it now."

"It's beautiful." I smiled at her and she bow her head.

"Thank you, My Lady." After I pay for it and we go next to the next store and buy medicines.

"You sure that's all the medicine your mother needs?"

"Yes, Thank you, My Lady."

"Let's go to the next store and buy food."

"Ah yes."

"Hmm, I'd like to buy ten pieces of bread, and those colorful balls." I point to the jar and he nod. "Cookies and this candy make it three jars each."

"As you wish My Lady."

"Leah choose a cake you like."

"Chocolate."

"And a whole chocolate cake, make it two please."

"Yes. Thank you, My Lady!" after that we head straight to Leah's house. It was near to the woods and when the people saw our carriage they started to gather around.
