Chapter 40: I love Alora
Magnus assisted his wife as they alighted from the carriage, Norman and Rhea already waiting to welcome them. With warm greetings exchanged, Magnus introduced his eldest brother to them.
"Please, come inside," Norman said politely, gesturing for them to follow. Together with Rhea, they led the way to the grand garden where the marriage ceremony would take place.
As they took their seats at the front, Rhea asked them what they would like to take. She even stopped a servant with a tray full of glasses of water.
"We both won’t take anything. However, Alora needs to drink water," Magnus stated.
Rhea handed the glass of water to her daughter. Once Alora finished drinking, she gave the glass back to her mother. "Do you wish to talk to Venus?" Rhea asked.
Magnus knew Alora would not refuse for it, but she did.
"Oh, why?" Rhea inquired.
"Venus may get upset to see me," Alora said in a low voice.
Rhea felt low to hear that, but in front of the princes, she didn’t speak. She had to excuse herself because Madam Aubrey called her and she went into the house.
"Why did Sister-in-law refuse to see his sister? Is it because she isn’t well accepted by her own sister?" Izaak’s curiosity prompted him to ask.
"Brother, it’s best to keep your curiosity to yourself," Magnus replied firmly.
