"Lady Sylvia you look beautiful as always," Fayette Blanchet said for the 11th time today as she fixed the testing fabric around me, I just stood still as a statue, as she did her bidding.

"Is there perhaps any gold color? I want her to stand out tomorrow" Mother said observing the design, not feeling satisfied

"Oui Madame, I will try that right now," Fayette said rushing to another pile of fabric, Mother was really torturing the poor french woman, she has been like this just because I needed to look my best for the ball tomorrow evening, everything was upside down due to the numerous change of fabrics.

It has been 5 days since what happened between Cedric and me, we haven't seen. According to Mother he has various meetings to attend to but I knew all too well what was really going on. I did as Mother told me, give him time and space, the rest of the days were lectures from Mother on how to act, dance, and present myself in society and according to mother society will be very present tomorrow evening, I mean it was the palace we are talking about... the palace, I have never been to a palace before but I knew what to expect was most likely the best I have ever since in society and I will be the meeting the Emperor.

"Mother I can't stand anymore," I said, my legs feeling tired from all the standing since all tons of fabric were tested on me and still none was able to meet up with mother's expectations, ugh!

"Endure my dear... we must find the perfect outfit for you... Olivia, how are the jewelry coming along?"

"They will be arriving this evening Madam" Olivia replied coursing, poor Olivia was stressed also with all the preparations, she probably hasn't slept from all the errands Mother made her run.

I sighed, today was gonna be one hectic day... but I didn't mind as long it would take my mind off Cedric for a while and get ready for this evening... yes this evening THIS every evening, I was going to get all the answers I need no matter what, whether I like it or not.

"How about this?" Fayette asked.

"Marvelous, it's a beauty"

Finally! Time to wrap this up and onto the next.

The clamorous thunder struck heavily at night, the rain pouring, the skies pitch black with lighting moving like rope within it, the rain so heavy and coming along with the tremendous breeze, my windows were shut tightly, I could barely hear the sound of it, seems like we were in the season because it has been nothing but rain all these days like some god was depressed or miserable, My papa always told me a funny story that if gods were angry or sad it sometimes showed in the weather, a funny story like I said, it didn't seem right to me.

I lit the candles, Olivia dropped the chicken and some other side dishes on the table, a big smile I noticed she had been wearing since this evening even though she was all stressed out and needed some sleep, I wondered.

"Is that all my Lady?" she asked.

"Mm," I just made a sound eyeing her with suspicion, something was going on in her head, but that would have to wait, right now it was business.

I took a deep breath before I called him. "Mint" at the mention of his name he appeared before us in shiny lights, I could never get used to it as my eyes widened at his sudden appearance. He stood before me.

"My lady," he said with a deep bow, his eyes peeped the food at the table, I swore I saw him drool.

"Hello Mint... it been a while"

He stood fully. "Yes my lady, I trust you have been well", I forced a white with a nod. His gaze moved to Olivia and so did hers, her face was all red and she remained still as the wind, with widened eyes, like a deer staring at a torch.

"H-Hello" she stammered, Olivia stammered? That was new.

"Hello," Mint said with a smile. "Olivia right?"

She gasped as she nodded. I couldn't help a giggle that found me, her expression was that of a lovesick puppy. I finally understand why she has been in such a good mood this evening, because of Mint.

"Ahem! Olivia?"

"Yes, my lady," she replied with a flinch. "Oh yes I should leave," she said nervously getting my look, she blushed once more she dashed out of the room, Mint's eyes remained on her in a daze, I wish I would have had her stay but I needed to talk with Mint privately.

"Ahem!"he instantly turned to me.

"Forgive me My lady for she's quite strange"

"Mm," I said, shifting my gaze to the food as an approval. A big smile found his lips as he settled down and launched the food. I still wasn't used to the fact that he didn't eat anything in the in-between, he must be really hungry.

Wait! Is he done? My eyes were wide as saucers, the plates were completely empty, his appetite was that of a wolf.

He chugged on the water, taking a deep breath. "Thank you, my lady," he said feeling satisfied, with a smile against his lips.

"S-Sure... like I said I will treat you as best as I can... but forgive me, for this, is a trade"

"A trade? Is there something you want my lady?" he asked perplexed.

"Yes, Mint".

"Whatever you want I will provide you do not need to trade my lady, for I'm your familiar"

"Good, then we don't have a problem"

"Depends," he quickly added.

"Too late you already agreed," I said leaving no room for question. He gulped rubbing the back of his head.

"What would you like to know about my lady?" he asked hesitantly.

"Tell me everything you know about Magnus"
