Villains also get Second chance

Chapter 89: Going to the market

The morning, it was the best time of the day of my life. Free from all the anger, politics and other gossips, I enjoyed myself.

"Your highness"

"Yes, Daisy."

"The bath is ready your highness"

"Alright"

I loved the way she messaged me while I took a bath. The best way to feel relaxed, I enjoyed the way she worked on my sore muscles.

"What kind of dress would you like to wear today, your highness"

"I want the blue dress my mother gifted me yesterday."

She looked surprised but nodded.

The blue dress was made of velvet in the upper part and silk down below with small diamond adorning sapphires in the middle, making small blue flowers. With that, I wore a simple diamond necklace and sapphire bangle. My hair was kept open and it flew like a waterfall as I had beautiful natural curls. 

"Kate, are the cards ready"

"Yes, your highness"

"Alright, the list is ready, ask Lina to write names on it, and learn from her too."

"Yes, your highness"

"Penny, get the carriage ready, I am going out today"

"Yes, your highness"

I walked towards the lord's chamber, and I could hear the galloping of horses from a distance. He must be having his horse riding lessons. I looked at my dress and sighed. Why did I always dress fancy when he was having these types of lessons? Oh my, I was always dressed fancily! I laughed at my own thoughts.

His eyes fell on me and he stopped the horse, I walked towards the warden, for whom I was here.

"Your highness" she bowed her head in respect or should I say, fake respect!

"I can see you still know I am the owner and master of this place and" I stopped waiting for her to raise her head, and then I stared in her eyes coldly, "and so as yours, and yet you dare to not follow the orders."

I could see her gulping and her pupils getting constricted. 

"I I apologise, your highness. I thought you were busy in this case, that was the reason I did not want to disturb you with useless things." she reasoned and I laughed.

"So now you would be the one to decide, whether a matter is significant to me or insignificant, huh?" I asked and she shook her head hard.

"I don't need your mum or apologetic face, I want Killian's education reports, timetables, and the list of rules and regulations, he needs to follow, in an hour in my chamber, or else I am sure the one to get punishment this time, won't be Killian" I added and she bowed.

"Yes, your highness" with that she walked in the chamber with hasty footsteps.

I walked towards the gazebo once I saw Killian coming towards me.

"Good morning, mother." He wished me as an officer wished to his boss. I wonder why he always tried to be so prim and proper! Nobles were also human.

I walked and kissed his forehead, "good morning, Killian. Did you sleep well?'' I asked and he smiled finally.

"I slept well mother, were you okay last night?" he asked and I furrowed my brows.

Ah! Then realisation endowed on me. He must be talking about the remarks Cassius gave me while leaving.

"That was nothing, my son. Your father and I are habitual of it, a long time ago." I said nonchalantly and he bit his lip.

"But it's only been a year, mother" he reasoned and I had no idea how I would explain to him that I had a long history with his father.

"That's right, it's been a long year. Anyways, I am going to the market. I have ordered most of the things, but I want to buy a few things personally." his face bloomed hearing my reply.

"So, you want me to come with you?" he asked and now I understood the reason for sudden happiness. Ah! Now I felt bad to deny him.

"I am sorry, Killian, but no. You are not coming with me. You had taken a holiday for the last party of her majesty, then when I was wounded, for my case and now you would take one for the weekend party, not to forget that mother would take you to the market with her and then your father's anniversary that is round the corner.

I think that is enough for this month. We will go to the market with my mother next week. Is that alright?" I asked and he nodded.

"Good, I am here to ask, have you decided about my proposal?" his eyes roamed around but did not meet mine.

And it felt like he was going to deny me.

"Killian"

"Mother, are you really not going to consider father, you, yourself said that it is a couple theme party, last night" I did? oh yes, I did.

"No, either you or I would do it alone," I replied making a pitiful face and he sighed.

"You know, you both are very stubborn," he remarked and I nodded.

"I would take the statement as a yes," I said and he nodded.

My face finally relaxed and I smiled. 

"Good, then continue your practice. I would join you next time" I replied and he looked surprised.

"Are you talking about horse riding?" he asked and I laughed. It was so easy to make him happy.

"Then how about we had a horse race, after your anniversary," he asked and I nodded.

"That would be a wonderful idea. But there should be something on the bet." he shook his head like an old man and I laughed.

It was difficult to decide who was the child here and who was the adult.

I saw the warden walking at a distance with a maid who had a bunch of books in her hands and I smiled.

"Alright then. I will see you in the evening, son" I kissed his forehead again and I walked from there to the carriage.

"Norma, go and collect all the papers and keep them safe until I return. Only Lina would go with me." 

"Yes, your highness." she bowed and walked away,

"Good morning, your highness"

"Good morning, sir Roselia"

We wished each other as we walked in the carriage. Just when the door closed I asked her,

"Have you told Dami to come and meet me in the market?" I asked and she nodded

"I did"
