Success

"Empress, I noticed how different your dress is, was it perhaps made by the famous mysterious designer?" Isabella asked Atghena as she looked at Athena's lovely dress that reached the ground

"Yes it was, it is a very special dress," Athena said as she smiled

"I see, I've also noticed that his Majasty's dressing has also changed, you both truly are my favourite couple," Isabella said and smiled at Athena who smiled back at her

"I'm happy that my husband and I have your attention, Duchess Grace," Athena said

"Oh please, call me Isabella, I would like to get closer to Her Majesty if you don't mind," Isabella said those words were all Athena wanted to hear, the tea party was a success after all

"I don't mind at all, you can call me Athena" Athena said as she smiled at Isabella

"Oh no, I would never, even my mother couldn't call the late empress by her name and they had been friends for decades, so how can I, I am happy calling you Empress Athena," Isabella said and Athena didn't push her any further. The Grace family was a family that was very respectful and once you earned their respect, a lot of things would be in favour, for example, they were the people in charge of supplying food, medicine and poison to everyone in the kingdom, that was the power that Athena wanted

"My love" Athena heard a voice call her and when she looked back it was her husband calling her as he walked towards her

"Deimos" Athena called and stood up as she faced him

Deimos held her by her waist and gave her a peck, he needed to calm down or else he was going to kill somebody

"I missed you," he said and held her hands in his

"I missed you too, but Deimos you are disturbing the tea party" Athena said and only then did Deimos notice that they weren't alone

"I'm sure the ladies won't mind giving the Emporer his wife early, will you ladies?" Deimos asked them without sparing them a glance, his eyes were intensely on his wife

"It would be rude if the Empress just left the party before the guests, she was the one who invited us after all your Majesty," Eva said without looking at Deimos for she knew one look from him would make her get down on her knees and take her words back. She was not going to let Athena leave

"If that is the case then please leave this place so my wife can come with me," Deimos said and Athena just stared at him, was he crazy?

"I truly am sorry for the lady's behaviour Emporer, Empress you should go with your husband, you two are still new weds, I will send you a letter to meet," Isabella said to Athena softly

"Thank you for understanding, everyone I truly do apologise for having to leave so early," Athena said and before she could hear the responses of the other ladies Deimos who was killing himself with the will to touch her everywhere picked her up in bridal style and walked off with her

Eva was not happy
