The Archduke's Songbird
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.
A Nostalgic Soup
Isadora watched as Jerrick sent away the maids and they left happily as if they were eagerly waiting to get dismissed. Isadora could see by the bewilderment on their faces that Jerrick was not someone who frequented the kitchen.
Jerrick thrashed around the kitchen to find a particular size pot and then he clumsily looked for water.
He could have asked me, Isadora thought but didn't dare to voice her thought.
Isadora was happy the fire was already burning in the stove, otherwise, he probably would have burned the whole castle.
Just as the water started to boil, Bernard walked in with the "jar" Jerrick mentioned earlier. Isadora's face twitched with shock. The "jar" was not a simple jar. It was a big box that contained many small containers—medicine containers.
