How Strong the Tension Was

At Cordon Castle

It was another morning for Freya, but she couldn't help but anticipate yet another morning of what Lord Gideon had in store for her. 

She had intentionally challenged him by saying that he should make sure that she saw no other man but only him, and she could only imagine what he had in mind to keep his end of the bargain. Looking out, she smiled upon seeing the freesias in her chamberlain's hand as she approached her on the balcony of her chamber.

"From Lord Gideon, milady," the chamberlain relayed, handing Freya the flowers. "Also, he's outside waiting for you to get ready. He wants to walk you to the dining hall."

Freya could tell that her chamberlain was inwardly squealing for her, what with that teasing smile of hers.

Grabbing the freesia foliage, she took a small whiff while curling her lips into a beautiful smile.

"Did he intend to pluck all the freesia out from our garden this often?" Freya amusingly murmured.
