"I like the finest silk to be made for my gown." I told the Baronin who's a designer. She nod as she writes in her notes. "In that design." I said and pointed the most beautiful design in her brochure.
"But we're lacking time Lady Arthia." I glared at her.
"Why did you design this if you can't even provide it?" I asked.
"It's not the we can't do it, it's--"
"Then you should start making now." We all look at Levi in my doorway. "Hello." He wave his gloved hands to me, my face automatically turn into face palm.
"May the peace of Guibàsh bless you." The Baron bowed. "T-then I shall excuse myself." She said, her assistant follow her.
"Make it in color purple." Levi said when the two is passing besides him.
"What brings you here?" I asked when they left, Levi went in after closing the door.
"I'm just roaming around my Uncle's house." He said.
"Then you should continue." I said.
"Are you busy?" He asked and sit on the couch infront of me.
"Yes I am." I said then open the book.
"Let's go in the marketplace." I raise my brow. "There's a simple festiva--"
"That's a commoner's festival, I don't plan to engage." I said determined.
"How about Viscount's tea party?"
"Who?" I asked.
"Viscount Lienòs."
"I don't like that family."
"Then I shall remove them to the list of nobles."
"Don't you have work?" I irritatedly look at him.
"I do." He said.
"Then finished your work."
"Then we can go to the festival?" He asked, I look at him, I thought he sounded excited but I can't still read his expressions.
"Ask your fianceè." I said. He laugh.
"Saying, what do you think of her?"
"She's bubbly." I said plainly.
I do answer all his questions and sentence but he won't run out of it.
"Do you think the Empress position will suit her?" He asked again.
"Ofcourse not." I said and totally close the book I'm trying to read. "When will we go to the marketplace?" I asked, my patient is running out.
A bubbly lady as Empress? Does Levi want to be a laughing stock?
He smiled.
"Why is she not suitable to be my Empress?" He asked as if he's trying to provoke me because he can read me easily.
"I said, let's go to the marketplace." I said irritatedly.
"Alright, alright." He said chuckling. We both stood up.
"Let me change clothes."
"You're always presentable, let's just go." He said and pull me through my hands.
"Slow down, I'm afraid to fall." I said, Den followed us.
"I'll catch you if you do." My heart unknowingly beat fast.
Annoying.
"Ready the kalesa." He ordered a servant, when we reach the outside a kalesa stops infront of us. He carefully put me inside.
Den and the other servant took another kalesa and followed us.
I look at Levi infront of me.
"What's is that festival for?" I asked.
"A festival for good harvest." He said. I nod.
What's to celebrate? They always have a good harvest because they are suppose to.
When we reach the nosy marketplace, Levi is still supporting me as if I'm a fragile thing.
The place is nosy, people looks like they are in joy, they have stalls of fruit and more. We stand out as we wear a expensive clothes unlike the people in the marketplace, I see some nobles like us, but it's uncommon.
"What's to see here?" I asked Levi, I saw Den and Caesar behind us.
"Nothing much." He said. "I just want to show you how normal people celebrate."
"What?" I asked. "I'm not a normal person to you?" He chuckled and pointed my nose.
"How come you look so cute when you are irritated."
I did jot speak and just look at the most crowded place in the marketplace.
What's in there?
"And you're always irritated." I did not answer him and start walking away.
I thought he was the one who held my hand but I was mistaken.
"Let go." I said to the old dirty lady who dared to touch me.
Levi pulled me away. Caesar's sword was immediately pointed to the old lady's neck.
"Who are you?" She asked with her eyes wide open. "Your soul is suppose to be burning in hell by now."
"What?" I asked.
"Speak nonsense and your dead." Levi said.
"Why are you here?" She asked again looking in my eyes as if she can see something that people don't. "You're body is already rejecting your ugly soul, what did you do?"
My head started to crumble as she say those words.
"You choose death." Levi said, I saw Caesar swing his sword but before I can see what happended next, I collapse.
