"What was it that you were discussing with Williams?" Edward asked as he closed the door after Mr Brown had walked in."We were just discussing about Her Grace's health, Your Grace," Mr Brown lied. He knew there was no way he could reveal to His Grace all that Williams had told him. If he did, then he would not be able to find out what he really had planned and it would destroy the relationship that his master had with his brother, something that he did not want to happen."Are you sure?" Edward asked, a frown on his face. From the way he sounded, Mr Brown knew that he did not buy his lie. "I might not have heard all that you two spoke about but from the way you spoke and the way that he reacted to each word that you said, I knew that something was up.""I assure you, Your Grace, nothing is up," Mr Brown lied. "We were just discussing about Her Grace, talking about her health." Edward rested his hands on the railings of the staircase and stared at his butler."What did he say about he

"Emily," Edward said as he stepped a foot out of his room, causing just half of his face to be visible in the faint light that was coming from the kit candles downstairs. "You can come sleep with me."Emily, who looked like she was pretty shaken up by his call, turned and said, "you heard all that we said, My Grace.""I did," Edward replied with a sigh as he pulled his hat over his face before digging his hands into his pockets. "I really do not mind all that you said. You were only speaking your mind and the truth but at the moment, you don't have anywhere to sleep.""But, Your Grace--" Emily began but Edward quickly cut her off. "I insist," he said before walking back into his room. He removed his hat and dropped it on the lamp table beside his bed before climbing his bed and waiting patiently for his wife to come in.After a few seconds of waiting, he finally saw her smooth feminine silhouette walk into the room. She stood by the door, staring at the bed and Edward need not read h

Edward and Emily slept in after the awkward encounter that they both had. The next day, none of them spoke to the other, only giving each other slight nods, Edward with his mask on throughout and Emily with a frown imprinted on her face, as they walked past each other to acknowledge their presence. Edward, on one hand, was not angry at Emily but was sad and felt it was too early to speak with her at the moment. Emily on the other hand was angry at her new husband for acting that way towards her. The servants, Mr Brown excluded as he was the only one that did not find it awkward as he had already seen the whole thing coming, were surprised at the strong aura that was coming from their master and mistress. Since their new mistress came to the manor, they noticed that the relationship between their master and mistress was not one that one could write home about. Edward decided to find a way to find a way to get his mind off the reality that was happening around him. He decided to mee

"You have been mumbling words in your sleep, Edward," Williams said as he stretched his hands towards his brother. "Are you sure you're not down with fever?"Edward stared at his brothers outstretched hand and sighed. He was about grabbing it when he remembered something very important. Harold's head was still laying beside him."I actually would love to stay here alone for a few minutes," Edward said as he slapped his brothers hands away. "I have been feeling unwell lately so maybe I am sick.""And laying on hay is going to make you any better?" Williams mumbled with a small chuckle. "You might not even get better if you do this to yourself." Edward rolled his eyes. Since when did his brother begin to care about his health?"Forget about me for now," he muttered, adjusting himself on the haystack so that the bloodied head would not be seen by his brother. "I actually have a lot of questions to ask you.""I am guessing some of them are concerning what Brown told you about me," William

Emily shivered as she stared at her door. The room had suddenly become cold and she could see her breadth. Everywhere began to spin as Emily suddenly lost feeling of her whole body.She was about screaming for help when the door opened."Your Grace." Emily looked up and saw Hannah walking towards her with a smile on her face and a tray filled with a small jug and a teacup in her hands. "I brought you some tea."Hannah laid the tray on Emily's bed and began pouring her a cup. She was busy chattering about how bad she felt when Emily left the dining table and she wanted to bring tea to her to cheer her up but Emily's attention wasn't with Hannah. She was barely even listening to the words that were pouring out of the housekeeper's mouth."Were you the one calling my name?" Emily blurted out and Hannah immediately stopped talking. She turned to look at her mistress and was surprised to see that she was shaking with sweat pouring down her face. "Are you okay, Your Grace?" she asked after
