A harmless party invitation is sent to every respected families with sky high reputations. The party is held at night so families can have time to prepare at the palace as each one is given has different villa near the palace and if they don't have one they can stay in the palace.
The Solon has a villa near by but the Agriche doesn't. So the Agriche family will be staying in the palace. Yet, for morning once all the families arrive they must come to the palace for a short party since it serves as an attendance and families use it to brag their daughters/ son, their reputation, their achievements, and et cetera just so they can flex that they are better and gain some information that can help it.
It is all fun and games as the carriages of the families are parked in front of the palace, the scene made such a commotion from the outside thus why the commoners made money just from writing a newspaper about it. The streets are decorated neatly and lively. It is still broad daylight thus why no obvious manipulation and fake smiles are yet to be seen, that is simply save for night time where the real event starts.
Since it is still day time, there isn't really anything to be done that is why I took a short walk around the palace corridor and there I saw a pretty woman- no, a fairy with golden wavy hair that extends past her waist and a slim figure dressed in a revealing clothing- pink silk that matches the color of her gorgeous eyes, golden jewels covering her body and a pink pendant on her forehead. She parted her cherry lips and speak.
"Good morning, my lady".
I was memorized by her beauty. She suddenly bowed at me and smiled and I just greeted her back.
"Good morning to you too, miss?".
I raise my one eyebrow as I look at her wanting to know her name.
"Ah, I am Diana".
"Diana?"
I said her name again, I don't remember hearing a woman named 'Diana'. She isn't royalty nor a nobel just from what she wore. My silence must have let her know that her name alone wreaked my brain as she smiled at me and speak.
"I am a dancer from Siodonna".
"Ah-".
No wonder she wasn't familiar. I have familiarize every aristocrat and royalties. Her face and her way of clothing heated my brain in thinking as her physics doesn't match her status. She is like a fairy of a forest and she is the one who rules nature yet her status is that she is a mere commoner and a dancer.
My silence became awkward so I just pardon myself and making an excuse that I have some business, she understood my statement- not as I mean that I wanna get away from her but that I am busy and she is too. I pass by her and she kept her smile.
'Weird'.
I thought, I never knew that there would be a dancer in this party.
I kept walking to where my feet wants to go. The palace corridor is highly decorated with gold, paintings, and expensive wallpapers. The garden is filled with various colors and sizes of flowers.
'Pretty'.
I thought and went to the garden as just admiring its beauty from the window inside the halls won't satisfy my hunger for actually feeling and smelling the flowers. Just when I exit I saw a familiar smile, eyes, hair, and an aura- in sinpleir terms, a familiar person named Deon.
My mind is at ease seeing him enjoy the nature. Who would have thought that seeing a bloodlust man is being soft and enjoying the flowers. He looks like he knows the flowers like the back of his hand seeing him jubilant just from seeing it. The corners of his mouth stretch gently across his face as he slowly touch the petals, he didn't dare to pluck it up, he just gently touch it like he his hands is handling a sleeping baby all cozy in a warm blanket as the kid snores, with his face he looks like the baby is his and not from his siblings. Funny.
He must have noticed me because his face blush in humiliation and he started to stutter. I enjoy every moment of it as I never saw him all that flashe with the color red.
"Me- Medea??? What? No wait...why are here? No I didn't mean it that way, I just mean...that uh..um...uuggh".
He just gave up and groan as he lost what he was thinking, I chuckle.
"I didn't know that you have a liking for flowers".
I casually tone out and sit next to him.
"It just happened".
Deon smiled and took a flower out of his coat. It is an origami rose, the paper used is an old book sheet with highlighted words that are "my darling", "my love", "my sun", and so on. It's just basically words that Deon doesn't have the courage to say.
I blush and seeing at how it made him even more humiliated as he avoided my gaze and turn his head around as to not see my reaction melted my heart.
I smile and hug him.
"Thank you".
I took the crafted flower and temporarily tuck it on my ear.
"I never knew you were good at crafting".
"I just happen to learn it in my free time".
Those are lies coming out from Deon's mouth. He practiced all the time as he wants it to be perfect and gorgeous just like the person he will give this too, he practiced how to be patient and gentle with the folding process and learn how to trust the process. He had made 20 failed origami flowers- he counted and was disappointed yet he didn't lose hope as he thought of how it will put a smile on Medea.
He doesn't know when they will see each other again so he needs to make the person he cherish happy.
All is worth it in the end as Deon got what he wanted.
I placed a small kiss on his check.
"I love it".
My lips curved up, it wasn't forced like how I showed in the public, it is genuine.
Deon felt warmth as Medea smile on him, he felt like he need to protect that smile- no it wasn't a feeling, he knows he will protect it at any cost.
The warmth of the two suns shines on Deon causing him to blush and not think of anything else but to enjoy the sensation. He doesn't want this to change nor to pass, he wanted to see this everyday heck if possible every second of it.
As the two continue to enjoy each other's smiles and joys, a jealous third party sees it from afar causing that third party to bit his lower lips and wanting Deon to disappear.
"Medea is mine, not his".
Eros noted to himself as he only sees green as jealousy filled his eyes and red as rage swim on his blood.
"Deon Agriche, I'll make you pay".
He swears on his breath as he walks towards his room. A sly smirk marked on his face.
"And it'll be a treasure I'll remember".
Just thinking of Deon crying and begging for Medea as She clings on Eros is what he only wants. He only wants Medea and no one else can have her other than Eros himself.
He would gladly do anything to make her his, even as to looking her on cage so Medea can only see him.
