His Goddess
Her smile
A room adorned with silence, the quiet whispers of wind only heard.
Two women sat there a mother and her girl silent after daily chores in quiet solemn until one chose to break it.
Lilith
Mother, why don't our lady smile?
Nini
If all of our soul is ripped through betrayal how could we ever?
She said with a pang of gulit.
Lilith was silent taking in her mother's words.
Lilith
Mother,was there a time all of this was different?
Nini
Yes it was all different.
Lilith sat there ears perked to earn from her mother, the story.
Nini
Long ago when I was only fourteen I was given to Sir Melvin by my mother.Not because she didn't love me but because she couldn't afford to.
Nini
Sir Melvin,Madam Lavienn's father was kind enough to take me in and there I started working as a maid.
Nini
Sir Melvin was a cold man. Distant and strange to people.
Nini
It was a festive season when he got married to Madam Lena.
Nini
They had three children.Eldest Madam Lavienn then Lady Lerise and Sir Lucian.
Nini
Lavienn was as distant as her father.Always in her own world,confident and clever.
Nini
But she loved me very much as much like an older sister to her. The same reason why I'm still beside her.
Nini
Everything was fine until Lavienn ran away with Smitha Ren,a knight.
Nini
That bastard changed her life. No,changed everyone's life.
She said visibly angry.With disgust.
Lilith
How mother? How did she fell in love with a knight?
Lavienn Glossen
No matter how hard we try to stay sane sometimes fate plays against us sweetheart.
In her beautiful night dress that in no way lessening her beauty and power she walked towards the pair.
Nini
Madam Lavienn. Forgive me.
Lavienn Glossen
For what Nini?
Lavienn Glossen
How long will you all keep everything under rugs as to not hurt my feelings?
Lavienn Glossen
Lilith would be curious.Before it kills the cat she should be made aware.
She spoke in a tone too neutral to gasp her intentions.
Lavienn Glossen
I made some mistakes' sweetheart. Something I wish wasn't as painful as it is.
Lavienn Glossen
I had a lover. A man I claim I've only loved.I trusted him entirely. The world could come against me but I wanted to stay by his side.
Lavienn Glossen
But he betrayed me. Not only he everyone. Even your mother.
She raised her hand signalling her to not interfere.
Lavienn Glossen
There is nothing in my life that should ever peak your interest.
Lavienn Glossen
I hope this will put and end to this conversation.
Lavienn Glossen
You can go to sleep Lilith. Tag your mother along.
Lilith looked at her mother and Lavienn an uncomfortable feeling creeping inside her.
Nini held her head low not daring enough to look at Lavienn.
Both of them curtsied and departed leaving Lavienn alone in that big room.
Lavienn Glossen
Why don't I smile?
She scoffed at the idea slowly walking back to her chamber unaware of a pair of eyes watching her with an unreadable expression.
Information
Butler Ramnov
Madam, you have a tea party in the afternoon at Lady Mayan's house.
Butler Ramnov
After that you are invited by Sir Melvin.Madam Lena has extended the wish to meet you.
Lavienn Glossen
I'll look into meeting them Ramnov.
Lavienn Glossen
Send a letter to Kristey about my arrival by the evening.
Butler Ramnov
As you say madam.
Kristey Kendin
Welcome, Welcome , my dear friend.
Lavienn approached. No change in demeanor. Nothing. A cold indifference.
Lavienn Glossen
Kristey I need you to hasten up the search
Kristey Kendin
Oh,straight to the point as always.
Kristey Kendin
But I'm disappointed that you ain't here for meeting me.
Lavienn just stared and said nothing.
But her face gave away what she hid.
She was afraid. Afraid to trust. Afraid to heal. Because it would all fell down. She would feel miserable. Again.
Kristey Kendin
Lavi, I'm afraid. Stop shutting yourself like this. Please.
Lavienn Glossen
You're the only person who didn't make a fool out of me.
Lavienn Glossen
And when I say that you should understand the gravity of it. I had a palace of people whom I thought as mine.
Lavienn Glossen
Only to realise it was a palace of cards. One wind and all down.
Kristey started at her friend which sharp determination.
What she is doing maybe wrong to others.But for her friend she will do it how so ever people gonna hate it.
Lavienn Glossen
I'll be off then Kristey. Have to attend a family "show".
Kristey Kendin
Please stay calm. You can retort back someother day.
Lavienn Glossen
I'll look into it. Also never send letters. Convey it if only that important through a very trusted medium.
Kristey Kendin
Ok. Also something very important.I've recieved a message from north.
Kristey Kendin
About your knight
Lavienn stiffened. A quiet tremble,not noticeable left her lips.
Lavienn Glossen
What is it?
Kristey looked at her friend.A smile which hasn't reached her eyes adorned her face. She is not planning a happy reunion but maybe some answers.
Lavienn Glossen
Stop analysing my face and speak.
Kristey Kendin
He is supposedly in someone's custody or protection.
Lavienn Glossen
Very vague information.
She clicked her tongue. Showing her disappointment.
Kristey Kendin
Don't be disappointed Lavi. In my information it is someone from south.
Kristey Kendin
Yes. It could be your father,your uncle,or most importantly your husband?
Lavienn Glossen
Mr Arsen.Not my husband.
Kristey Kendin
Not accepting it wouldn't change the truth.
Lavienn Glossen
Marriage is the promise between two souls.My soul hasn't given him any promise.
Kristey Kendin
I'm no one to meddle in your buisness. But don't offend him.
Lavienn Glossen
Are you questioning my power?
She asked visibly offended.
Kristey Kendin
No I'm just warning you.
My dove
Lavienn Glossen
Good evening everyone.
All eyes looked up to the sound. The sound they all were expecting. More like longing.
Melvin Glossen
You're late young lady.
Lavienn Glossen
Accept my apologies Sir Glossen. I had some things to deal with.
Lerise Glossen
Father,sister,Father.
She whispered under her breath enough for Lavienn to hear but she chose to ignore.
Lavienn's eyes only remained on her brother, Lucian whom she only blessed with her attention.
Lavienn Glossen
How are your plans for the academy progressing? Need my help?
Lucian Glossen
Good. But gladly I'll take any of your advices.
She smiled sweetly at him. A smile which made everyone at the table envious of him.
Lena Glossen
Where is Mr Arsen dear?
Lavienn's eyes went back to it's usual coldness. Distant. Unapproachable.
Lavienn Glossen
Busy, Lady Glossen.
Lena Glossen
I don't like you calling me that.
Lavienn Glossen
Any other endearments should be earned my lady.
Lena gasped. Tears slowly welling up to her daughter's indifference.
Melvin Glossen
You don't get to speak that way young lady.
Lavienn Glossen
You should have thought about that before the invitation.
Lavienn Glossen
I can't change the way I'm just because of circumstances unlike..
She said emphasizing on the last part of her making sure to taunt them.
Lerise Glossen
Sister, I'm sorry to interrupt but I would really love it if you..
The sentence was left incomplete by the presence of a man, too domineering, walking in.
Zencov Arsen
Greetings Mr Glossen.
He said slowly settling down to the chair beside Lavienn.
She turned to his side to acknowledge his presence.
He slowly and gently took her hand in which he pressed a soft kiss, too pure, too gentle masked as curtsey.
Zencov Arsen
Missed me my dove?
She smiled, a tight-lipped smile. Not an answer. Not enough.
