Chapter 93: A Letter To You My Dearest Papa

¤●¤

I groaned, smiled, I felt light, I felt... peaceful, I can't remember when last I had such sleep, it was almost like I was floating on soft clouds, and the air gushing against my face gave me a pleasant feeling, I wish I could sleep forever.

I yawned, stretching as I opened my eyes to my slightly dimmed room, it was morning but the sunlight wasn't quite up yet, I must have woken up early. I felt my forehead, I didn't know why but there was an impression there like something warm was placed there, I pondered what it was, what could it be? And it felt familiar, I continuously rubbed my forehead, wanting to have the feeling more, like I longed for it.

My dreams were peaceful, best I have ever had, I dreamed I was floating on the cloud, a weird dream but it was nice. It was better than dreaming of Cedric getting married to Alice, I rolled my eyes getting off my bed, no time to spoil my mood, today was the day. I hurried to my chair, taking a seat as I grabbed a paper and a quill. Today was the day I would be finally able to speak to my papa, even though it was letters, it was everything.

A smile remained on my lips as I began writing.

☆

Dearest Papa,

How're you fairing? Your beautiful daughter finally gets to write to you, I can't express how glad I'm to finally write to you for it is now allowed, all thanks to Mother. Before you drift to any thoughts, I'm talking about my mother-in-law. The truth is, she's like a mother to me, I never thought I could actually feel that way about her. I wish you could meet her one day because she is very nice.

Do not worry my dearest Papa for I'm alright and well fed, I was married to a nice household, I'm sure you are alright too... I really miss you, Papa, I miss you so much, each day is thoughts of you, mostly today I think of mama, I miss the stories you told me about her for they are the only memory I have of her, I wish I got to know her as you did, I wish for a lot of things right now. Today may be one of my saddest but it's also the happiest for both of us. I got to meet you, I got to be your daughter and you get to be my Papa.

I send this letter to you bearing Mama's favorite flowers, a gift for her grave, I wish I could be there.

Yours Truly

Sylvia

I sighed putting away the quill, I folded the letter, packed it and proceed to stamp it, this will do, from now on I will be able to write to him and he will too, I couldn't wait to get his reply, I was beaming at this moment just by thinking of it.

The doors barge open as Olivia walks in with a smile. "Good morning my Lady and happy birthday".

"Thank you, Olivia," I said sweetly.

☆☆☆

"Mother, is this truly necessary?" I said looking at the number of dresses that swamp in, her gift. The multiple maids walked back and forth as they placed them in my dress room.

"Of course, since you want no Ball well you can't stop me from spoiling my daughter-in-law," she said with a huff.

I smiled while taking her hand. "And I'm glad you do, thank you Mother for I will wear them with pride"

She looked like she was having fun. "You seem bright and happy today, it's been a while since I have seen you like this," she said.

"I woke up as light as feather, it truly was a wonderful feeling"

"I'm glad"

"My lady," Olivia said, carrying about 10 big books.

"For god's sake be careful with that," I said startled, she smiled dropping the books on the table, she took heavy breaths.

"This is..." she sighed, I waited for her to speak and so did Mother. "A gift from Lord Lawrence" she finally said.

"Oh" I made a sound, at our talks the day before yesterday I told him of my interest in books. I smiled, this was a sweet gift from him.

"So big," I said in awe.

"And first edition ones, these are quite rare," Mother said.

"I will send my thanks to him," I said amused.

"Another one," Olivia said, carrying a box. "From Lord James" she opened it.

"Hmm as expected from our chubby ambassador," Mother said.

"Yes indeed," I said, eyeing the box of chocolate.

"This is made from the finest chefs in the Empire," Olivia said squealing, the maids did too.

"Mother?"

"I will pass on the sugar, dear"

"I will just take one, the rest of you, and have it," I said.

"Really?". I nodded.

The other maids squealed in delight. "Thank you, my lady," they said in unison, I just smiled, they must really love these Chef's delicacies.

"And another, from Lord Dalton and Lady Danette," Olivia said bringing another box but this was golden in color, she opened it.

I gasped, they were jewelry, surely this was only the work of Danette, Lord Dalton must have just added his name not to feel left out.

"Amazing craftsmanship, but yours are quite expensive" Mother chirped in.

"Mother!"

She shrugs. I rolled my eyes, I had forgotten Mother was good at expensive things. "I will send my thanks to them and to Lord James, please is that all?"

She nods.

A knock came at my door, we turned to it, Alice stride in with a smile against her lips.

"Happy Birthday Lady Sylvia, more years to celebrate," she said.

"T-Thank you," I said with a smile, truth is I didn't expect her to come, but she did.

"I do not know much about gifts here, but in our homeland, we gift ladies a warrior's weapon," she said signaling her guard as he sauntered in with a white long box.

"A warrior weapon?" I said, puzzled. Mother just made a hmm sound, seeming interested.

"Relax, you're not meant to go to war with it, it is an antique," she explained, opening the box revealing a white bow.
