Eros immediately went to Meet Lady Frostbite.
he knocked on her door.
"Go away! I don't want to see anyone at the moment." She responded from the other side.
"Does that include me?" Eros asked.
Immediately she heard his voice, Eros heard the lock of the door open and she pulled him into the room.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ "Lady Frostbite I'm sure you have heard about your husband coming for you. If you don't mind I would like you to..."
"NO!!!" She refused even before he finished talking. She had a strong frown on her face.
"I don't want to go back. i want to stay here. You promised that i could stay here and that you would spend time with me, but ever since that day, you travelled to the black sea and then when you came back, all you have did was...was..." she paused. her mouth unable to say the words. However, her growing red tomato face betrayed her of the words she wanted to say.
"....it ... with all those women. You did not even give me time with you, and I..."
Before she finished talking, Eros had stepped forward to embrace her, "do you mean attention like this!?"
His brave move took her by surprise, and for a few seconds, she enjoyed it, before she remembered that she was a married woman and should not engage in such acts with another man.
She immediately pulled out of his embrace.
Eros had a wide smile, "okay! even if you don't want to go back, will you at least come with me to the border? Just to let your husband know that you are alright!?"
He stepped forward and took her hand. He placed a gentle kiss on it. As he did, his eyes remained glued to hers. His mannerism was gentle and it had a sort of charm that dragged out the feminine woman in her.
She nodded, "But I'm not going back. At least not now."
Eros nodded, "Of course!"
A few moments later, A carriage was ready and the both of them got in. Jimmy as expected was the rider. He left things in Dan's hands and followed along.
Eros's estate was not so big to begin with.
In a few minutes, they were already at the border.
It was customary for nobles to not enter another's territory with one's troops.
Entering another's noble's territory with troops was seen as an act of disrespect and a sign of impending violence.
The only reason Lady frostbite had entered Eros's territory before without invitation or permission, was because of the debt issue. Also, the lord of the land was proclaimed dead.
Also, she had no choice but to use force to get what she wanted.
For this short journey to the border, Lady frostbite dressed in comfortable wear without her armour on. However, she still had her sword by her side.
Throughout the trip, Her eyes were focused on Eros. Meanwhile, the Baron had his eyes out the window.
As much as she was fascinated by him, he was at the moment more interested in his territory.
It was true that the merchants had arrived and work around the place had already begun. However, it was going to be a while before anything of true significance could be done.
Eros sighed at the state of his territory. A man's home defined the kind of person he was. He had already made up his mind to convert this place into a territory that even the king would envy.
"We are here sir!" Jimmy's voice went out.
Jimmy opened the carriage door and Eros proceeded down the stairs gently.
In front of him, was open land. However, this open land had guests on it. altogether, there were about fifty men with armour and weapons on soul horse beast back.
these soul beasts were called Frozen horse Beasts. They were a signature beast of the Frostbite family. The Family reared them exclusively for battles. Rumours had it that they had the ability to increase the fighting abilities of their riders while increasing the fatigue of the enemy.
There looked like normal horses except that their mane and tails were sky blue and looked like snowflakes on their bodies than they did hair.
Also, they had bright beautiful blue eyes that matched the color of their Mane.
Rumours had it that these horses had a bloodline connection to the Frostbite family.
These men did not put on helmets and from the size of the horse in the middle and the different armour its rider wore, Eros instantly knew that this person was Lady Frostbite's husband. If he remembered currently, and he did, his name was Andrew.
Eros had only looked once, and then he turned his head away.
This was an arrogant move that Andrew noticed and it made him frown.
Unlike Lady frostbite, Andrew was not at all a young man in her age bracket. Although he was still young, he had at least seven or eight years of age on Lady Frostbite.
He was a young man in the prime of his age and even his appearance was dashing. One that would move the hearts of young maidens, and his armor even helped to make his appearance more significant.
Andrew was known to be a bold man. He was not of the Frostbite bloodline but rather a noble of another family. He was a bit of a brute and since the frostbite family was an aggressive one in the first place, it made sense for him to be the right candidate.
The marriage between him and Lady frostbite was one of benefit for both families.
It was also a decision that Lady frostbite had no say in it as the decision was made many years ago by her father.
In this age and time, being betrothed for familiar benefits was a normal everyday occurrence.
In fact, most marriages involving nobles were like this.
People made partners based on benefits and not love or emotional connection.
Eros did not give a second look to Andrew. Rather, he placed he's walking stick on his forearm, turned to Lady frostbite inside the Carriage and helped her down gently.
His mannerism displayed his many years of etiquette. It was fined well and even his posture as he did this, was without fault.
This only served to further feed his anger and annoyance.
Eros led Lady frostbite before the troops of soldiers.
Andrew came down his ride.
"Lord Eros, I had heard news of your passing. it is great to see that you are well and the rumors were a lie."
Eros nodded at him, "thank you very much for your good words master Andrew. It is good to also see you."
Eros gave a smile. However, Andrew frowned.
It was just a greeting. But Andrew had referred to Eros as Lord, while Eros had refered to Andrew as Master.
Of course, these were the right terms on both sides. However, the current meaning in relation to the situation was different.
That was because Eros was lord of his Estate. Whether it was big or not, he was still recognized as a baron. Meanwhile, Andrew was not.
He was but the husband of one. In other words, he was of a lower calibre than Eros and had no right to be talking when Eros opened his mouth.
This was essentially putting him in his place even before the true conversation started.
Lady frostbite took several steps forward. She looked at Andrew, and then she frowned, "Husband! what are you doing here? Did I ask you to fetch me?"
Of course, this was not the tone a wife was expected to have on her husband. However, Lady frostbite was not talking to him as her husband, but rather as his Baron.
"Did I tell you to come get me!?" She asked with a stern expression on her face.
Andrew's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Eros could tell that the man was very angry. Without a doubt, he was a prideful man. However, Lady frostbite was displaying her aggressiveness at him.
However, Andrew held it in and spoke in an amicable tone, "dear wife, I only thought about your safety and came all this way because I missed you. After all, you still have marital duties that you have to perform."
Those words took Lady frostbite by surprise. She perfectly understood what he meant. After all, they had not yet consummated their marriage. But this was something that no other person knew except of course, Eros.
She frowned her brows tightly. She knew that for this reason alone, she was supposed to go back with him.
However, since she came to the Tate Estate, a lot of interesting things had been happening, and in truth, she still wanted to spend sometime with Eros. She had no intention at the moment to leave this place.
Also, she was very stubborn, She really did not like people telling her what to do. There was also the fact that she had been willing to submit to Andrew after their marriage, but he had not shown fealty to her as his wife, and from the rumors she heard, he had been having other women outside.
One could say that she was just being a spoilt brat at the moment. However, this was just the way she did things.
For her, her arrogance came directly from deep within her veins.
"I will return to the fiefdom when I want to. I have not finished collecting the money that Lord Eros owes me and I will not leave this place until i get what I am owed."
There was brief silence. And then Andrew's eyes suddenly brightened, "good!" he nodded, "is that your final answer?"
Turning her back to go back to the carriage, she answered him, "yes it is!"
However, something unexpected happened that took her by surprise.
*POW!*
A gun shot went in the air.
She turned her head and she could not believe her eyes.
"LORD EROS!!!" she screamed as she rushed to Eros falling to the ground.
