Y/n's pov: I was in the garden again, after waking up at a much later time, Ramon said that he'd be busy with paperwork, so he had one of the Verdugo wearing a red cloak look after me, the Verdugo had brought me my breakfast, an omelet with hot sauce and cilantro sprinkled over the top, and afterwards brought me some chamomile tea, after I'd finished my meal I'd asked the Verdugo to stay with me, it agreed rather easily, I sat in an open clearing, apart of the garden that was a meadow with a large willow tree, there were Queen Anne's Lace flowers, Oxeye Daisies, and Bulbous Buttercups… I started gently picking some of the wild flowers and started tying them together, making a flower crown big enough for the Verdugo…..
Y/n's pov: "here… this is for you… do you have a name….?"
Y/n's pov: I then heard a voice echo in my head, almost as if it was speaking to me telepathically…
Verdugo: "High priestess, lady
y/n… I do not know my name. It was lost to me when I was created… As Verdugo, we are meant to be yours, master salazar, and master saddlers guards…"
Y/n's pov: "Well, now that I know you can communicate with me, I've got to give you a name, how about Antonio…?
Verdugo: "Very well then, lady y/n, if you wish to address me as Antonio, then I will accept this title. Thank you for your kindness and generosity…."
Y/n's pov: I placed the flower crown on Antonio's head. It was covered by his hood already, so I adjusted the flower crown till it sat comfortably on his head…
Antonio: "Thank you, lady y/n…"
Y/n: "we're friends now, you can just call me y/n, at least when we're by ourselves like this…."
Y/n's pov: Antonio stood up, protective instincts kicking in at the sound of a twig being stepped on, the culprit being none other than Ramon…
Y/n's pov: "Ramon…? I thought you were busy with work, did you finish your work for the day already…?"
Ramon's pov: "Sí(yes), I just got here, I trust that my right hand has been taking care of you, my love…"
Y/n's pov: Antonio relaxes and sits back down beside me, his tail wraps around my waist in a possessive manner…
Y/n's pov: "Yeah, Antonio's my new friend…!"
Ramon's pov: "...Antonio…?"
Y/n's pov: "I gave him a name, did you know that he can talk telepathically…?!!!"
Ramon's pov: "wait… he can talk. He's never spoken to me before….?"
Antonio's pov in y/n's mind: "only you can hear and understand me and the others, you are the high priestess, in other words you are the queen bee, we live to serve you, while we take orders from your father and lord salazar, their power over us compared to yours is nothing…."
Y/n's pov: "Antonio says that you can’t hear him because you aren't the queen bee. Basically, what he said was that I have a stronger connection to them than you…."
Ramon's pov: "So all this time we've been giving them orders, and you're telling me that they only listened because of our connection with you…?!!!"
Y/n's pov: "... apparently, anyway, never mind that, come sit with us, I'm making flower crowns…!!! "
Y/n's pov: Ramon walked over and sat by me on the opposite side of Antonio and placed his hat on the ground, Ramon then laid down and rested his head on my lap, he then let out a deep contented sigh as I began to weave the flowers together into a crown… when I'd finished I placed it gently on Ramon's head, when I looked down at him I hadn't noticed he'd fallen asleep, not wanting to risk waking him up I didn't dare to move…. Antonio had also fallen asleep and his tail was still curled around my waist like a snake, I looked up at the sky and the sun was setting down, the garden was full of fireflies and there was a few chirps from some crickets that were hiding, the fireflies lit up the garden like little lanterns, the effects of the tea began to set in as I slowly started drifting off to sleep, leaning on Antonio as I held Ramon close…. I'd never trade this moment for anything…
