Lillia walked over and looked at the two curiously wondering what had happened before sighing and snapping her fingers. Two men walked up both looking dazed but both holding shovels. "Valefar, you might want to move." she said softly since she knew in this state the men would be very clumsy.
|
Valefar blinked and looked over at the two men before quickly moving away. "Interesting Lillia...where did you get them? I don't know...but at least they'll get the job done." he explained and chuckled. Saring at the men, he knew they'd get the job done...he just hoped that they could get it done in time.
|
"These are two fo the guards that live at my home... I may be true to my husband now but I still find my hypnosis very useful." Lillia grinned before watching the two dig up the coffin before pulling it up and opening it. She was really surprised at how well the body had been preserved and just waved her hand over the coffin to make Eofe look like Vixen and made the smell go away as well. "Mkay is that all you need?" she asked with a smile.
|
"Ah two of your guards, I se. Yes it does come in handy I'm sure." he answered and smirked before nodding at her question. "Yes, that's all we need. Now we need to take it back to the castle and make sure no one disturbs Mela's friend as she works. We also need to get Mela's friend out of there before anyone notices Eofe's back." he explained as he looked at the body in the coffin before picking it up carefully in his arms. "No worries though, we don't want to keep your from your family, thanks for helping us though Lillia, really. Feel free to visit us at any time, you know you and your family are always welcomed in my home." he explained and grinned.
|
"Of course." Lillia smiled before she left with her guards after they filled the hole back up so no one would notice. Vixen then sighed and pulled out her wings. "I'll see you when you get home love." Vixen said softly before flying off and easily made her way to their room without being seen. She sat on the bed quietly and laid down before curling up on her side and closing her eyes.
|
The carriage arrive a few minutes after Lillia, and Vixen had left. Climbing in, he asked the guard to take him back home and smirked when the driver nodded and quickly began to take him back home. While he waited to arrive back home, he looked down at the body in his arms and held it close, being very careful with it as if it would turn to dust with one wrong move even though it was very well preserved. When they arrived back at home, he thanked the driver and quietly walked back into the house before sneeking into Eofe's room and placing the body down on the bed carefully. "Okay...here's the body as requested." he said softly.
|
Mair was waiting in the room having set out some candles and had a book with her when Valefar came in. She looked up and smiled. "Right on time, okay now I'll need you to leave and Mela said she's going to have Dutchess sit outside the door so no one comes in." she said softly before flipping a few pages in the book.
|
"That's fine really Mair." he answered and quietly left the room before looking around. "Where to go now?" he asked himself and decided to meditate out in the lake. Walking outside, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly before sitting in the lake and closing his eyes while his hands rested on his knees after crossing his legs...his tail swaying behind him in the murky water.
|
After a few hours Mela came outside with Mair leaning on her a bit for support. "I wasn't sure where Momma was Poppa but Mair needs to go home and Eofe needs her rest... but Mair said Momma should go and check on her and stay with her in a few minutes." Mela said softly as they walked up to Valefar.
|
Valefar opened his eyes and slowly stood up before looking at his daughter and her friend. "Understandable, I'll go tell your mother now. Mair, if you'd like, you can take a carriage home, and thank-you for what you did today." he whispered so that no one else would hear if they happened to walk outside. "Mela, help her to a carriage and tell the driver that I ordered them to take her home. No discussions, excuse me." he said and kissed the top of Mela's head before gently hugging them both and quickly walking over to his room, certain that Vixen would be inside. "Love?" he called softly as he opened the door and saw her laying in bed. Slowly, he walked over to her and ran his fingers through her hair. "Love...she's back. Miar said you should go check on her now..." he said lovingly.
|
Mair smiled tiredly and hugged Valefar back before going to the carriage with Mela and was taken home right away. Slowly Vixen rubbed her eyes and sat up with a bit of a sigh. She was happy that Eofe was back but she was still a bit upset about earlier... but she didn't really want to say anything to Valefar about it... he probably wouldn't want to talk about it right now anyway.
|
"Love..." started Valefar before he pulled her into his arms and looked into her eyes. "I love you and I hope you know that." he started before stroking her cheek. "I've hurt you...I know I have and I'm sorry. I just want you to be happy. I'm doing what you say because I know that if I do what you say it will make you happy and that's all I want, because when I see you happy, when you smile and laugh...it makes me very happy to see you like that." he explained softly. "Please be happy love..." he whispered before kissing her lips lovingly. Hesitantly, he pulled away and smiled sadly. "I'll let you go check on her now...excuse me." he commented before quietly. leaving the room and heading to the lake.
|
"But I never said that I didn't want you to show me affection... I love it when you kiss me and hug me and hold me, even when we're in public... I love you Valefar." Vixen said softly before sighing and nodding a bit before heading to Eofe's room and gave her a soft smile as she walked in. "Hi Eofe." she smiled easily as she walked over to her bed and wondered some if she was hungry or thirsty.
|
Valefar sat in the lake again and sighed softly before closing his eyes and meditating once again. Eofe yawned softly as she lay in bed and smiled when she saw Vixen. "Hello dear." she started and frowned. "What's wrong dear? I sense something bad happened." she commented and motioned for her to sit. "Would you like to tell me what happened?" she asked softly.
|
Vixen paused before sighing a bit heavily. "Would you like anything before I tell you? It's kinda a long story." she said softly and kingly before glancing around the room and frowned. She really should have came in here and cleaned before they brought Eofe back.
|
Eofe smiled and nodded at what she said. "Well, something to eat and to drink would be nice." she admitted. "You can get yourself something too." she quickly added before noticing Vixen looking around her room. "Oh, don't worry dear...this room can be cleaned another day it's fine." Eofe assured softly.
|
"Okay... well I'll be right back I promise, but I am going to lock the door so neither the king or queen can get in." Vixen said softly before she left the room and locked the door then headed down and started cooking some of Eofe's favorite soup and also fixing some tea that they both enjoyed. She hadn't made either for a very long time and neither had anyone else in the house.
|
Cresil had walked out of the library and was walking over to his Study when he caught a scent. The scent of soup and tea, something that no one made here anymore. Walking into the kitchen, he raised an eyebrow when he saw Vixen there making the soup and tea. "Hello, making yourself some tea and soup I take it?" he asked curiously. "No one had ever really made this tea or soup here in a very long time...so I'm surprised to see it being made again." he explained.
|
Vixen was surprised when she heard Cresil but continued stirring the soup trying not to let it show that she was worried about anything. "Well I'm surprised... they are both very tasty recipes, why would no one want to make them?" she asked softly as she would normally speak. She knew why no one made the two anymore... they were Eofe's favorites and it upset everyone too much to spell the wonderful aroma filling the halls that had at least once a week while Eofe was alive.
|
"Vexine, I think you know very well why no one makes them anymore. That's why I'm surprised that they're being made suddenly." he answered before sighing softly. "Just make sure Valefar doesn't notice the smell...I don't think he'd handle it very well you know." he commented with a sad smile. "I'm happy to know that someone else likes them though...maybe it can be a way to keep her memory alive." he explained and shrugged. "I must get back to work, excuse me Vixen." he said quietly before retreating into his study quietly.
|
Vixen let out a sigh of relief as Cresil left and smiled slightly before getting two bowels and two cups on a tray. She then set the kettle on the tray and poured the soup into the two bowels before covering the tray and taking it up to Eofe's room making dure that no one saw her as she moved into the room and shut the door behind her. "Here's we are, hope it's good it's been awhile since I've made it." she smiled easily as she set the tray in front of Eofe then moved the Kettle and the second bowel to a small table before pouring them both a cup of tea and taking hers softly.
|
Eofe smiled when Vixen returned with the food and drinks. "Thank-you dear, I'm just happy to know that you still remember how to make this." she said and gently blew at her tea before taking a small sip and grinning. "The tea tastes lovely." she complimented and tasted teh soup before chuckling happily. "The soup is also lovely, thank-you again dear. It's nice to know someone remembered my favorite food." she commented and grinned before turning serious again and placing a hand on Vixen's shoulder. "Now tell me dear, what's bothering you?" she asked before eating quietly.
|
"Well of course." Vixen smiled then slowly drank her tea and took a few sips from her soup before sighing and looking down as she sat her tea down. "Well... recently Valefar's seemed very distant and taking things to heart it seems... Mela just turned 14 a week or so ago... I think this happens every year around this time... I think it might have something to do with Cresil and Usha but I'm not sure... but I'm also worried that it has to do with me... I know Valefar loves me, and I love him, but sometimes I think that he might not be telling me everything that's on his mind." she sighed and shook her head a bit. "But you really shouldn't worry about it Eofe, you should be relaxing, I mean I'm sure there must be a million more things you'd rather be focused on right now." she said with a slight weak smile at the end.
|
"Vixen dear, have you told any of this to Valefar?" she asked as she sipped her tea. "Dear, if you feel this way, you need to let him know. Valefar is a sweetheart, but I know he can be rather difficult at times. He doesn't know it though, so we have to let him know. He doesn't know that you're feeling this way but I'm sure if you told him, he'd understand and tell you all he hasn't been telling you." she suggested with a soft smile. "Oh no dear, you shouldn't feel bad about telling me this, I'm always happy to help you in any way I can." Eofe assured as she ate her soup happily. "As I said, I do think you should let Valefar know about this. You two are married and need to be able to tell each other everything, good or bad." Eofe added softly.
|
"Well I have told him a bit of it but he seems to take it the wrong way... or he doesn't seem to understand what I mean." Vixen sighed softly before she went back to eating her soup and took a sip of her tea quietly.
