I turned towards the direction of the flowers outside, beside the concrete floor.

I walked towards it staring at them with trembling eyes, there were a lot of things I still didn't understand about Cedric and I found myself wanting to know more than staying away from him, ugh!!! Will this ever end?

"Lady Sylvia"

I whirled at the sound of my name.

"Lord Lawrence!" I said elated as the dashingly handsome man walks towards me.

In his smart attire, seeing his blond hair in the sunlight gave a kind of gold color, suiting him perfectly.

"It's been a while lady Sylvia," he said with a dashing smile that always graced his lips.

"Likewise Lord Lawrence," I said with a bow.

"Hmm, I see, learning our customs," he said in amusement.

"Can't avoid now can I?"

He chuckled slightly at my words.

"Might I ask I didn't see you at the Eternal Garden?"

"What's the use of going there... I'm unmarried, going will seem like I don't fit don't you think?"

"Oh" I made a sound.

"Forgive me"

"No need for the long face" he states.

"Hmm?"

"You should smile more Sylvia it suits you"

My cheeks flushed at his kind words, he was the first person to give me a welcoming smile after all.

"Spotted you here with a frown I couldn't help but wonder, is something bothering you?"

"No... no, I'm fine just..." I sighed heavily.

His eyes narrowed.

"In a daze"

"Well I hope Cedric is treating you well, I hope you don't have any troubles," he asked worriedly.

I smiled.

"You're so kind Lord Lawrence, but I'm fine" I turned to the flowers.

"It's been a month I have been in the Empire, it takes some time to get used to it"

"How have you been adjusting?" he asked standing beside me.

He was yet again the first person to ask that question and it sort of warmed my heart.

"It's..." I drawled.

He raised an eyebrow as if daring him not to lie, I sighed in defeat.

"Hard"

"Well it isn't expected to fit in so soon, I know its hard especially for you lot"

I blinked puzzled.

"The Silver-haired, it's hard that you are taken away from your fathers and brought into the Empire at a young age, but for your case you were brought in older, you had a life outside the Empire before...", he looked around for a brief second.

"All this. It only neutral that you feel unfit and hard to adjust, I could only imagine"

A warm smile pressed against my lips.

"Thank you Lord Lawrence... for asking about my feelings, it warms my heart," I said in a sincere tone, I was really grateful, and talking to him sorta made me feel better a bit.

A smile curled up his lips.

"Of course as long as I see that smile... enough to brighten my day" he winked.

I blushed, shyly looking away.

He chuckled at my actions, he then plucked a rose from the flowers before us.

"Tell me Lady Sylvia what's your favorite color?"

"Green?"

He chuckled at the look I had when I said green as if it wasn't too cliche.

"I see, a fine color, a wonderful taste you have," he said as with a wave of his hand on the flower he held, the red rose turned green, I gasped.

"Or would you prefer all of them?" he add waving his hand once again, the rest of the roses turned green also.

It was a beautiful sight, seeing the completely green colors, but I should know better.

"I'm not sure mother would be very pleased".

"Yeah this doesn't seem like a good idea," he said waving his hand, they were instantly back to their normal colors.

Lawrence was really good with his magic, he seemed like a natural master in his own way.

"Just one then" he states handling me the green rose, I took it with both hands.

"Thank you, Lord Lawrence"

"Please just Lawrence"

"I don't think that a good idea, the laws"

"Right... Laws, whatever makes you happy" he smiled.

"Lawrence!"

A voice came behind, we turned to it, I froze when I saw Cedric.

"Ha, Cedric there you are," Lawrence said with a geeky smile.

I frowned when I saw Cedric's expression, yes it was his usual cold looks but it seemed colder than usual, his features paler.

¤●¤

"Ha, Cedric there you are," Lawrence said.

Cedric didn't spare him a glance but rather his gaze was on Sylvia who frowned at his mere presence, her flushed cheeks were making him begin to wonder what they were talking about, his gaze lands on the rose she held, his green eyes darken, obviously, she was having quite the time with Lawrence, the mere thought of that made his jaw tightened.

"Husband," she said giving a bow.

"I should leave you two, thank you Lord Lawrence for the rose it's so sweet of you," she said with a warm smile she never directed at him and for some odd reason, Cedric didn't like it, especially the look she gave Lawrence like he just brightened her day.

Was it odd that that doesn't sit well with him?

Lawrence was always a cheerful person and he loved making everyone around him feel special, Cedric has known him to be so for a very long time but right now that affection directed to his wife made something within him spark, he couldn't make sense of it.

She walked past him without even sparing a glance.

Cedric turned slightly as just his corner of his eyes watch her exit the hall with her maid by her side.

"You didn't come to the ambassador's meeting this morning, I was worried so I came".

Cedric turned to Lawrence.

"Wasn't feeling well" he said in a simple tone walking ahead, Lawrence walked beside him.

"Hmm you seem fine or were you by chance avoiding"

"What's there not to avoid, drinks, talks of fetish things".

"Ha, I knew you never did like some of the things we talk about... Surprisingly enough though, Dalton didn't attend, I wonder why" Lawrence said, Dalton never missed a meeting, he pondered what his reason might be, it was unlike him.

"Tell me, Lawrence, why are you here other than to change the color of roses"
