Cedric at the center of the space had multiple books levitating around him, each page flipping, but his gaze wasn't on them, but up at a very giant round ball, gold in color, spinning slowly, was that a globe? it was so big, I have heard about them but I have never actually seen one before, it was beautiful.

"Can I help you, wife?" Cedric said without turning to me.

How did he know I was here? I was sure I was hidden but seems like he caught me.

"Do you not know its wrong to spy, especially if it's your husband" he adds turning swiftly, hands behind his back.

Why does he even have to look so dashing at this moment?

He raised an eyebrow.

I should say something.

"Forgive me husband I was just..." I paused, not knowing what to say. I bit my lip.

"Come here".

The sudden command gave me shivers, it wasn't coercive or anything but sounded luscious, something I couldn't ignore.

His intense green eyes fixed on me, once again I felt myself drown in them, unable to help myself I walked towards him, at a slow pace, our gazes still locked until I finally got to him.

I observed the books still floating and flipping pages.

"Colinus, see to these books," Cedric said as with a flick of his fingers the books shut close, moving to Colinus at a corner.

"Yes Lord Cedric" he replied with a bow walking out of the room, the books following behind him.

"He's a warlock if you're curious"

At Cedric's words, I turned to him.

"A low class one"

"What is this place... its" I didn't know the right word to describe it because it stunned me so, my gaze fell on the golden globe.

"...Magical," I said with a breath.

"My study room... also how I see the world"

My gaze shifts to him.

"The world? You mean you can see it in this very room?"

"With the globe, yes"

"That's amazing, I have always wanted to see the world," I said in wonder.

"Explore it really", a frown found my features.

"But I couldn't... because of what I am, I had to... hide from the world" I faced him.

"But there isn't hiding from the Empire is there"

He made a hmm sound.

"Silver-haired are bound by fate, some see it as a blessing to be what you are, some a curse"

"What word to call it other than a curse" I took a step further.

"To be taken after from your family as a baby, and brood to be the perfect wife and married off to men you know nothing about... tell me, who would see that as a blessing other than a curse", I turned to him with angry eyes but not directed at him but at the topic, we spoke.

"And of course, I'm the only Silver-haired who think such"

"Your fate lies with goddess Yelena"

"Yes the ever-beautiful goddess who gifted us," I said with a forced smile that didn't reach my heart.

"I never asked for this life non did I intend it" I looked away from his gaze, my heart heavy.

"I wish I could..." I turned to the globe.

"...See the world"

"Shall I show you"

I faced him the moment I heard his words, he took a swift pace towards me.

"...The world" he add as he stood right in front of me.

My head tilts backward just to meet his gaze, did he really say those words? Did he mean it? As I stared deep into his green orbs I knew he meant it, I don't know how I could tell but I just did.

"Stratham"

His eyebrows flick together.

"My hometown, I would like to see my papa," I said as I was suddenly filled with the memory of him. Yes, I would love to see the world but I missed my papa dearly.

But then I looked away when I remembered when Cedric spoke ill of him at our wedding banquet, just because I spoke up, his words towards my papa still pierced my heart.

"Forget I said that" I began sternly facing him.

"You never did respect my papa, given how you spoke of him, you don't feel sorry, you don't need to show me" I state.

I shouldn't expect much from him, I shouldn't expect anything from him.

"I should go"

"What If I'm"

I froze at his words.

"What?"

Before I could register what he has said, he took me by my waist, our bodies brush at the sudden action, I gasp as a deep shiver run through my body.

"I will show you" he states as then suddenly we started spinning in a slow rhythm, I felt my feet off the ground, my gaze fell to the floor.

I gasp holding onto Cedric tightly, we were now 15 feet off the marble floor.

Cedric held me firm against my waist.

"What... what are you doing" I demand.

"I said I would show you," he said in a simple tone as he used his free hand to wave the globe we were now in front of.

It rotates, I just silently watch the action, awaiting.

"Stratham," he said as then suddenly the globe came to a pause.

I gasped as I gaze upon the image that played on it seeing my hometown, it was like we were there but not at the same time, I couldn't explain it.

My eyes went teary seeing the view, I felt nostalgic, the cottage houses around, the horses, the clear trees and grasses, the lovely people of Stratham, it wasn't much but it was home.

"My house is just after the waterfalls," I said holding in my tears.

And then the view moved and I met with my house, I closed my mouth with my pale when I saw it, it was just like I remembered, the cottage house made of clean brown wood, the grasses that laid before it.

At the entrance on his favorite chair he always sat on, I saw my papa.
