"I heard from Mrs. Hartford that someone's birthday is close," Lawrence said as we both strolled the hall.

"Ugh did she tell you?"

"Not exactly she kept murmuring about how you didn't want to throw a ball or something, she was really looking forward to it"

"I know but it doesn't feel right by me, I mean it's the day I lost my mother, it's not a celebration period for me"

"I understand... but I'm sure she would want you to be happy on your birthdays for it's the day she gave birth to you, brought you into this world, don't you think?"

I just made a hmm sound. "Maybe" I shrugged.

"You are really free, unlike the rest of the silver-haired, they always act so formally," he said in wonder.

"Well you do too, everyone is formal in Empire"

"Not entirely through, as an ambassador, we're meant to attend a lot of events but I have skipped so many than I can count, it's unusual for someone such myself, maybe that's why I'm unmarried"

"That's not true... any woman would want to marry you given your personality"

He halts, facing me in amusement. "Is that so?"

I blushed. "Y-Yes I mean you're nice, funny, different from your pioneers, I'm certain if a silver-haired is seen, you like be grasped away before sunset"

His smirk broadens. "That's a nice and lovely thing to say... but I doubt I will marry"

"What? Why?" I asked, stunned.

"It seems you're the last silver-haired for this generation, and it's as the law states that ambassadors are to marry silver-haired to secure the pureblood warlocks" he explained.

His words took me by surprise, I was the last?

"But that doesn't mean you will remain unmarried forever, I mean that's uncalled for"

He shrugs. "I guess it's how my destiny will play out, I mean with this I will be free to travel the world as I have always wanted"

My eyes were sad, I was glad he at least had a purpose even though he was yet to marry but being alone for the rest of his life because of some stupid law?

"It's not fair" I state.

"Do not be sad for my sake Sylvia I have already come to terms with it, years ago there were cases like this so I'm not the first,"

My eyes trembled at his words, his eyes were sad even though he smiled, to be alone for the rest of his life, I knew marriage was a union and a purpose, it was also the way of nature, the way a man could explore other ways of life, to have a partner and be with someone, anyone would crave to have that.

I took his hand with mine in a tight hold, his eyes went wide which means I took him by surprise by my actions.

"Laws shouldn't make a man be alone for the rest of his life, if you are opportune and you find someone, go for it, your happiness matters more than laws" I state, I didn't have free will to choose or demand what I want, but Lawrence was a man, and men in society are usually given some privilege, I wanted him to be free, even though I can't obtain it myself, it was truly what I wished for him.

A smile found his lips, he placed his other hand on our joined ones. "I have never met someone like you... you feel for someone like it is your own, like a goddess".

My heart skipped a beat at his words, why do I feel funny when he says those words?

"Lady Sylvia?"

At my name we both turned as my body went stiff when I saw Cedric, the color in his eyes was drained, his features were colder than usual, he looked angry?

Alice stared at us strangely before her gaze landed on our locked hands, she raised an eyebrow.

Sensing her looks, Lawrence pulled his hand away from mine.

"Cedric you're back," he said nervously.

We weren't doing anything wrong, just hands, was that enough to judge well it seems like it, if not Lawrence would have remained calm, maybe I shouldn't have taken his hand but I was only trying to comfort him, was that wrong?

Cedric's cold glance remained on Lawrence, I felt him shake beside me, his orbs moved from him to me, well he shouldn't look at me like that, he was the who went on a romantic getaway with the princess, he shouldn't look at me like I was guilty here, HE WAS.

"You must be Lord Lawrence" Alice finally broke the intense silence, she bowed.

"Princess Alice" Lawrence said with a nod, she smiled.

"May I ask why you're here?" She asked.

Was she supposed to ask that?

"Oh I came to see Cedric but Mrs. Hartford told me both of you were out"

"Yes we were, sorry if we missed your arrival," she said amused. "For we were out on a picnic" she added.

The way she spoke and acted like she was a wife already made my heart ache. I do not want to be caught in this position that served as a painful reminder that she would one day be.

"It was nice speaking to you Lawrence," I said with a smile. "I should go now," I said bowing.

"Of course"

I turned to Cedric. "Husband," I said with clenched teeth before striding away not bothering to look back, why was he angry, I was the one who was meant to be angry at him, he had no right to be, he can be so frustrating sometimes. Ugh!

Olivia had taken the liberty to attend to some matters, I just angrily sauntered the halls alone, my shoes making loud noises. So it was true then, he was out on a picnic with Alice, for a moment I hoped it wasn't true but turns out it was.

I was right then.... Cedric was getting fond of her as he did me, it was only a matter of time before she stole his heart.
