Chapter 381: A Rebellion
The tea house was like something out of a dream: a glass greenhouse nestled in the heart of the castle gardens, where nature and elegance met in perfect harmony.
Sunlight filtered gently through the arched glass ceiling, casting golden patterns across the tiled floor. Vines curled around the metal beams overhead, soft green tendrils hanging low, while flowering plants in shades of lavender, soft yellow, and blush pink lined the walkways.
The scent of blooming roses and warm jasmine filled the air, blending gently with the faint aroma of freshly brewed tea.
Tiny birds flitted past the glass walls, their wings flashing as they darted between branches.
Abrielle walked slowly beside Duchess Fiona, her hands gently clasped in front of her as they followed a stone path that curved around the tea house. Between them, the conversation flowed in soft, hushed tones.
Their eyes moved with ease, taking in the beauty around them, but their minds were clearly elsewhere. Originally this was solved after Fiona became friends with the smart Callista, but Abrielle didn’t have the patience to wait that long. She was going to give Fiona a push in the right direction.
Evelyn watched them from a distance. She had a feeling her master was up to tricks again. She hoped it was not another foolish escape plan. "Even Rudeus does the same. It gives them a sense of control." Fiona snorted, causing Abrielle to laugh.
"Honestly, I don’t have an issue with Cedric’s abilities in bed. He is overqualified, I just wanted someone to talk to." Abrielle added
Fiona’s eyes narrowed. There was something more. She wore a long, pale lavender gown that swept the floor behind her, her every step graceful and calm. Beside her, Abrielle’s simpler cream dress fluttered lightly in the breeze, her ginger hair pinned in soft waves that caught the sunlight as they walked.
