Chapter Four

It has been a few days since the knight walked into the white abyss. The Lady O'Sirius found that her dreams kept bringing him back. But on this morning she was rudely awaken. She threw on a robe and went down stairs to find that the Lord O'Sirius had returned and had hundreds of guests. He walked over to her.

"Ah, you finally decided to grace us with your presence." He walked over to her. "And not even properly dressed for my guests." He said with a harsh tone dragging her back up to her chamber.

As they walked in he quickly started going through all her clothes. "My lord I didn't expect that you would be here this soon."

He walked over to her with a dress in his arms. "You are to wear this."

She looked into his eyes and saw them full of anger. "Yes my lord." Salean said with a tremble in her voice.

Maria came in. "Maria make sure she is decent for my guests. I do not want to be embarrassed again today." He stormed out of her chamber.

Maria tipped her head as he walked by her. Then looked at Lady O'Sirius with a smile. "What on heavens earth were you thinking? Going down there in noting but your robe and nightdress."

Maria helped Salean lace up her corset. "I did not expect them all to be here." She took a breath in as Maria pulled the straps tighter. "Do you think he terribly upset with me?"

Maria turned her around. "I can not say my lady. You are but new to this. You are doing only what you know." She turned her back around to finish lacing up her corset. "I think you are doing fine. Honestly, I shouldn't say but, I don't think he deserves someone like you." She walked over to get her dress. "You're too sweet for him my lady." She helped Salean get her dress on and then do her hair. "Now let's see you." Salean twirled around. "You look lovely my lady. And he better not have anything to complain about either. I'm sick of hearing him nag and he just got back."

Maria started to walk out of her chamber when she ran over to her and gave her a hug. "Thank you Maria." Then she let her go.

Salean walked over to her window and opened the long satin curtains. The sun was out for the first time in days and made all the snow shimmer. The frozen trees seemed to shimmer too. These were her ice covered lands and she admired them for their beauty.

Then Lord O'Sirius came rushing in. "There you are. Come, I have guests waiting." He looked angry with her.

While they were walking she got to thinking. "My Lord?" She said with a soft voice nervously.

"What is it?" He was a demanding man, and nothing mattered but himself.

She stopped in the middle of the hall. He turned to her and she looked up at him. "Are you upset with me?"

He looked at her for a moment with a blank stair. She could not tell if he was or wasn't. His eyes said nothing to her. "We are wasting time. My guests are waiting." He put out his arm and waited for her.

She walked over to him with her head down and went to greet his guests. She didn't like his cold heart. This man was conceded and selfish. There was no way she was destined to be this bad excuse of a man. Her life seemed so emotionless.

They walked into the grand hall where all his guests were standing around sipping wine and chatting with each other. Both of the stood at the head of the room and the Lord started to speak to the crowd.

"My Friends! My Family, I would like to introduce you all to my wife. The Lady O'Sirius." Everyone held up their glasses and toasted. "Tonight, I invite you all to come to my masquerade party. In week from today I would like to see you all here and dressed in your best. Now drink and enjoy yourselves!"
