Eviternity

Unexpected Commotion

Back in the brood's territory, Eleanor had woken up due to the sunlight that was coming through the big window in the guest room she resides in.

A few consecutive knocks got her attention.

"Milady, this is Amelia. I have brought your breakfast."

When the door opens, Amelia entered the room while holding the tray of food she brought for Eleanor's breakfast.

"Have you had a good night's sleep, Miss?" Amelia asked as she sets the table located at the left part of the room.

"I did. I think I slept too well even though I was in unfamiliar place." Eleanor got up from bed and went to the table to eat.

After finishing her breakfast, Lady Amelia and Lady Matilda helped her take a bath. Today is the day that she will be fitting into her wedding dress.

"Are you nervous, Miss?" Lady Matilda asked Eleanor as she watched Lady Amelia combed her hair.

Eleanor sighed.

Even if this is a union that was taking place due to some treaty, she can't help but be nervous since it's still about her wedding.

"Of couse. To be precise, I feel jittery."
The conversation was interrupted when someone knocked on her chamber doors again.

Lady Matilda stood up and open the door.

They are all shocked to see Arius standing outside the room while holding a fresh bouquet of red roses.

They don't know if it's just their eyes playing tricks on them but the Eldest Master of the Brood looks twice as dashing today than usual.

Arius scanned the whole room until his gaze darted on Eleanor.

"Good morning, Did I interrupted you?" His deep, magnetic voice echoed inside the room.

Eleanor stood up and welcomed him in.

"No, we we're just talking about something."

"I see. The flowers are in bloom now, so I figured you might like it. Ahem," Arius stated as he faked his cough and gave the bouquet to Eleanor.

"Thank you, they looked wonderful."

Eleanor gave the flowers to Lady Amelia so she could put it in the vase.

While Eleanor and Arius proceed to their appointment for the day.

They are in the middle of their travel when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Arius asked the coachman.

"It seems that there is a riot, Eldest Master."

Eleanor looked outside the window and saw a woman getting badly beat up by a big, bulky man. There are a lot of people who are watching but none are willing to help the woman.

Without second thoughts, Eleanor got down from the carriage and went towards the commotion.

Arius was caught off-guard and immediately followed her. He couldn't use his powers here since there are too many people.

"Ellie!" Arius called for her but Eleanor was already blocking the fist of the man and left him groaning by a kick on his private area.

The woman continuously bowed her head to thank Eleanor for saving her and then run away.

Arius shielded Eleanor when the man recovered and was about to hit her too.

"Bastard, who do you think you are trying to hit my wife?"
