Sober

Marino still had a few unanswered questions that he really wanted to talk to Juri about so he decided to have a word with her before dinner. 

He stopped by their room but only Eileen was in and still sleeping soundly.

It had been a pretty tumultuous time for Juri, so he could understand her need for alone time and thought she probably went for a walk.

 He decided to check the garden, and just as he thought Juri was on her knees doing pruning in the garden, nevermind that she was pregnant but it also just seemed out of character for her.

She really had changed over the last couple of years and if he was honest with himself he was looking forward to getting to know this other side of Juri that she kept private.

She was with another man, Adoph, Prince Juval's manservant and leader of the harem, when the prince had been alive.
