Alexander's POV

In Alexander's Room

" My lord the gaurd comitted suicide. We should bring this to the notice of your grandfather your highness" said Patrick.

" I know who did this and don't let anyone know that the garden is fine. Increase the number of guards. I don't want any mistakes. We don't have any evidence even the garden looks lush without any signs of damage so don't bother him for the time being." I said. I can literally see a question mark on his face. I know he wanted to ask about the magic behind the garden recovery but was hesitant waether to ask about it or not.

" Your highness about...." When he summoned up his courage to ask about it I interrupted saying "complete the work for today and you can take your leave". Hearing this he understood that I don't want to discuss about it.

" I will get it completed your highness " saying this he left the room.

I was standing near the window in my room which gives a clear view of the garden. The reason behind the lushness of this garden A small smile made its way thinking about the reason behind his smile,__Lina. Yes, she is the reason behind my smile.

I always hear about her from my mother about Lina. She is the girl that can bring a smile on the most cold-faced Duke Lucius. She can bring out the gentleside side in him which no one has ever seen except his wife aunt Elena.

I still remember the day I saw in the garden that day.

Flashback ( The day Alexander and Lina met)

I just finished my training and was resting under the tree with my eyes closed. I heard the sound of footsteps and frowned cause no one can enter this garden except for my mom and Aunt Elena. This sound doesn't belong to both of them the footsteps sound soft and harmless. I then stood up and followed the sound. I entered the rose bed area where the footsteps seem to stop. I looked around only to a small child of 4 or 5 years surrounded by butterflies. She has voluminous blond hair that shines under the sun. I started walking towards her as I couldn't see her face. She has her back towards me the butterflies flew away sensing me but only one remained she stretched her her small hand to touch it. The butterfly then landed on her small palm she then dropped it on the rose next to her. I was standing at an arm distance but still she didn't acknowledge my presence.

It was then I asked her " do you like them???" Looks like I startled her. She turned around and looked at me with her green eyes. She has a rare emerald green eyes. Her eyes are vibrant with a little bluish and a greater shade of green which looks beautiful and it is the most desired colour of emerald. Only person has such eyes in the whole empire. Looking at her hair vaguely guessed that she might be his daughter but her eyes confirmed my guess. She just looked at me shocked. Her already big eyes widened, she has a small face, and a fair porcelain skin. She has naturally pink lips. She is just too beautiful.

She didn't say anything so I said" if you like them you can take them" in my usual voice. Her face paled looking at me and she took a step back was about to fall but soon balanced herself. She looked like a white rabbit which faced a big bad wolf.
This reaction of her made me frown. Do I look so scary??? I wondered.

"N..n..no..o" she said shuttering. She has a sweet voice.

"You don't like flowers???" I asked her.

" No, it's not that I don't like them. Its just that I love them so I don't want to pluck them." She said.

"Why ???" I asked not understanding her view.

"If you like a rose you will pluck it which leads to seperation and early death of the rose but if you love a rose you will water the plant and prey for its longevity. Since I love them I don't want to cause any harm or damage to them. I don't have any idea of plucking them, I just want to admire them" she explained. Her words didn't suit her age. She sounds like a mature person who had lot of experience in life which amused me. My lips twitched into a small smile but soon turned expressionless thinking how this little girl made me change my expression effortlessly.
