"Lilia you don't have to follow me everywhere you know" I stated as I looked at the flower arrangements "malleus is not here to guard you so I have to take his place orelse I'll never hear the end of it" Lilia replied as he rolled his eyes. I just shook my head and continued with adjusting the arrangements. 'Lilia looks more down than usual today, more tense..' I thought. I saw that too. "Is there something you're worried about Lilia" I asked as I looked at him. He said nothing "...you can lend me your thoughts. If you wish to.." I add fuel to the awkward atmosphere. Normally lilia would tell some joke by now. Different times I guess. "How do you truly feel about this arrangement" Lilia asked "...by this point. I'm still uncertain. Yes, i grew to care for malleus as i do a husband but this all seems too...quick" i replied "covenant. I fear you humans still have your own agenda. Now I asked, what do you want from Malleus?" Lilia asked, "I...I don't know" I replied as tension rose, "I never thought of it" I quickly added. Lilia scans my eyes for some form of deception but fails. He sighs "perhaps I'm too paranoid.I only wish for the best for malleus." lilia turns to look at me once more " be careful of the days ahead. Only the heavens will know what happens next"

lilia's suspicion was right.... I wish I could've proved him wrong

Midnight fell and I encountered a sleepless night.. 'Humans still have their own agenda'. Perhaps this marriage isn't all what it seems.. I shook my head 'no don't think that'. I sat up from my bed anxious. Worried. I needed some air. I walked out of my room down the darken halls, and into the garden. The cold air was refreshing on my hot skin. As I sighed and began my late night stroll.."what are you doing up so late" a voice spoke from behind scaring me. It was lilia "...just taking a stroll...I couldn't sleep" I replied as Lilia sighs "how troublesome...follow me" Lilia said as he turned away. We walked deeper into the forest until we encountered a dome.we entered the structure in which i was greeted by bats. I squealed and ducked as a swarm flew out into the night. A laugh was heard by the end of it "how pathetic, you really though they're gonna hurt you" Lilia laughs and i huffed "well yes how can i not" lilia ignored me and turned to the few bats that were still there "what is this place" I asked "a bat sanctuary. This used to be our sanctuary for our messenger birds but it got removed so, bats decided to use this as a cave" Lilia explains "you take care of them" I asked and he hums holding one of the bats which hangs upside down. The atmosphere was peaceful underneath the moonlit night. Almost like the sound of the wind is luring me to sleep. Before I knew it, i was already In Lilia's arms as he carried me back to my chambers as my tired body shuts down. "Good night y/n..." Lilia said

Good night and I'm sorry...

So sorry....
