After the peace treaty banquet I headed back into my office where the others where waiting and then my eyes fell on Ethan who was pacing up and down in the room like a mad man while the others looked at him bewildered.
" What has gotten into you Ethan " I asked as I took my seat .
Yes what's wrong with you this was the first time I saw you loose your compursure for a lady" said Joseph
" Or is she one of your lovers " he smirked .
Suddenly Ethan punched the wall silencing everyone then he turned to look at us darkly and then walked up to Trevor and then grabbed him by the collar.
" Do you know who she was, how dare that filthy being put his paws on her she belongs to me " he shouted " she's mine, only mine ".
" Hey man call. Down what's going on with you" Trevor pushed him away and then his face lightened up a little then he sat on the chair beside him.
After a moment he sighed then looked up at us his derranged look gone " sorry man I didn't mean that I just lost it a little, this whole situation has put me un edge "
Offering him a drink veer then asked " so what's your deal with that lady Phoebe is she someone you once knew"
" Far from that she is my lover Celestia"
I paused and looked at him while the others too turned to look at him with bewilderment.
" What the " Trevor said as if reading all of our minds
" That's good for you right you can take her back home right" I said
" That's exactly my problem she --- she hates me like really do and I don't know what caused it but I know she left because of my mother because she asked me to pass a message to her I don't know what to do to get her out of the empress palace and back to my side where she can be pampered and loved like what she deserves"
I stood up with the word the empress palace " she works in the empress palace like how "
" Mm yes I met her when she accompanied your wife for the council meeting but no matter how I coax her she refuses to leave and has even threatened to kill me "
" You have such a tough life " said veer
Then a thought passed through my head ' if Celestia was that lady Phoebe and she works in the empress palace then the banishment of Kier was caused by no other than my little wife Dehlia. This is good she has already started forming her contacts she learns quickly for a child locked away her hole life .
" So what are you going to do you are to go back to the north soon " I asked
Sighing he looked up to the ceiling " don't know but if worst comes to worst I will need to take her by force I can't let her go after I found her after two years although she can easily kill me "
" Huh how " asked Joseph as he organized some paperwork
" Have you ever heard about the Vipress"
" Who hasn't in the assassin world the assassin who is as fast as lightening who kills anyone which was ordered by her client no one knows where she is right now " explains Trevor who was also an assassin
" Well that assassin is celestia lyric my lover"
At that moment you could hear a pin drop we all look at Ethan as if he grew another head Trevor's mouth was literally agape from shock.
" So you want to tell me a professional assassin lives with my wife and you didn't tell me, what if she hurts my baby daughter" I shouted
" Nah she wouldn't she has apparently sworn loyalty to her that's why she refuses to live from there so there's no risk"
" Holy shit I need to see this legend in person heck I even need an autograph, even I am not skilled like her"
" Please don't do that she will kill me and even hate me more for doing that and for the record it won't help my case with her " Ethan remarked
Running his hand through his hair he sighed looking at the window with a pained expression" I don't know what to do anymore, I love her so much more than you guys can imagine and I want nothing but to give her everything I own even my life but to her it's as if I was dead and all she feel for me is hatred what I wouldn't give to have her love back "
I stared at my usually cold but cheerful friend with an odd look I had never loved someone not romantically at most but I can't imagine how it hurts him now to see the object of his love reject him .
I then thought of my relationship with Dehlia she was just there to bear me heirs and don't need more emotions in it as in my opinion putting in your feelings for someone will only cause you problems.
A month after the foreign envoy left a document was brought to me by Joseph about a new guild which got operational their dessert shop was making people grow mad in the capital.
" They say that some of their pasteries let you experience a magical attribute which lasts for a short while is very sought after by non magical creatures " he said
An idea struck me and with a smile I said" is that so send a letter ordering them to make me their best pastries and send a letter to the empress I want to invite her and Emmy for a picnic "
