The Archduke's Songbird
***Completed*** Lady Jessamyn brought home a ten-year-old orphan when she was eight. He was handsome ^_~. She provided him with a place to stay and warm meals. As they grew up, she desired to marry him, despite their differing statuses. As war raged, he signed up for the military, promising to ask for her hand when he was worthy. Two years later, he became more than what he promised he would be. He became the Archduke of Ayberia. But he broke her heart by marrying her friend. Years rolled away; life happened. She married a man who loved her and fell madly in love with him. She didn't think of him again. But fate was cruel; she was widowed at the age of twenty-one. She lost everything. Seven years later, she met a mysterious wolf while she was out at work in the Archduke's fief. She had a fall. The next morning, she found herself on the Archduke's bed. Did fate bring them together again? Or something nefarious is at play? Is this a chance for a second love? Will she find out why he abandoned her in the past? Is it possible to rekindle their old love, or is it too late? ----- Join me in this journey. Your comments and votes are appreciated. Gift me to motivate me. Updates will be daily.
Isadora's Doubt
Isadora moved to the Aurelia Castle. The Grand Duke celebrated her arrival in Montrose as a festival. Jessamyn heard that the Grand Duke was beyond delighted to bring Isadora there.
Bernard, not so much.
At times, Jessamyn would see Bernard staring into the distance and sigh. One time, he didn't hear when Jerrick called him; he must be missing Isadora dearly.
Jessamyn too missed Isadora and she wrote to her to visit. The wedding was only three days away and almost all the preparations were done.
She still didn't find the nerve to face Jerrick but did her best to alleviate her guilt by doing whatever he wanted.
Jessamyn spent the entire morning with Isadora. She would have kept her with her the whole day, but since she pitied Bernard, she let her spend time with him in the afternoon.
