"Watch where you are going, peasant!" I roared at another one of those pesky human servants who had bumped into me.
They undoubtedly had their head so full of thoughts that they didn't notice their superior walking by
"Oh, you must forgive me, my lady," a blond vampire I hadn't seen before said while picking up some books he had dropped on the floor "I believe we haven't had the pleasure of meeting each other yet, mistress. My name is Carlisle Cullen but everyone calls me Stregoni benefici"
Stregoni benefici? The beneficent wizard? What's so beneficent about him?
He looks a normal man to me
"My name is Sulpicia," I say extending a hand for him to kiss
"I'm here because of Aros' grace. I'm a physician and a scientist of sorts"
I hadn't asked.
But I had to admit that the mention of my husband intrigued me. Why would Aro ask to have a doctor in our home?
"Why did my husband ask you here,?" I questioned as I began walking
"Well, I'm a vegetarian, that means I do not feast on human blood but instead the blood of livestock and other wild animals," The physician said as he hurried after me
I made a disgusted grimace "So you're a masochist?"
"I would say I'm quite the opposite, madame. I do it to save as many people as possible and honestly to save my conscience from being stained by the constant guilt of killing"
Once again I looked at him with a confused and half-repulsed expression
"To be one hundred percent clear, my husband asked you here because you are an... abnormality"
"Yes I suppose that is right, my lady" The blond stranger chuckled "But... I thought the ladies of the Voltori were to stay in their towers..." he continued
Does this man know no bounds? I had had quite a lovely day up till this point. An important lady like me had a long list of things that needed tending to, and answering an odd man's questions all day wasn't one of them. But luckily for this youngling, I was feeling quite generous
"We are allowed to go wherever we please, we simply choose not to, whiffet"
"Of course madame," he said nodding his head vigorously
"Your husband is a generous man, you must love each other dearly" he started again before I held up a hand to silence him
"If you wish to continue to tell me things I already know, Mr Cullen we might as well make an appointment out of it, perhaps you can tell me my name next, or maybe the number of people that live in this castle," I said grinning as my answer dripped in sarcasm.
While this man seemed to have trouble containing his curiosities, he had no trouble knowing his place as the second the overly cynical answer had left my mouth he promptly shut his.
Lord, he was like a little puppy, a pet, and a sad one at that.
"We didn't marry because of love, it was out of convenience" I sighed restarting the conversation
"How horribly sad"
"And why is that?" I spat back
I knew it was a horrendous idea to resume this exchange. Why is this Neanias telling me his unnecessary opinion about my marriage? I rolled my eyes, soon, Sulpicia he will be gone I mentally told myself. Just a few more steps and then you will be able to shake this pet off
"You deserve a marriage full of love and adoration, my lady," he said, and as if finally deciding to take the multitude of hints I had been giving him he bowed his head out of respect and walked away.
"That's what has gotten you so perturbed, adelphé?" Athenadora asked unbothered as she paced and cleaned the common room
"Yes! I mean how dare that commoner speak to me in such a manner, my husband loves me! And that man, he has nothing to do with the state of my wedlock" I said, banging a fist on the table in front of me, causing Athenadora to roll her eyes
"If you know that then why are you so worked up? It sounds like this man has gotten your undergarments in quite the bunch"
My undergarments? That man has no impact on any part of me in any shape or form, let alone my underclothes
"That's what you always think" I hissed
"Tis not so bad, Sulpicia. I do not believe he meant it in a malicious way" Corin now spoke up
"What do you know of marriage? And, Tis not so bad? He disrespected me, Corin. I could have killed him where he stood for his input on my life"
"Well, what did he actually say?" Athenadora questioned, raising an eyebrow
"He told me I deserved a marriage full of love and adoration," I said giving the same disgusted grimace I had given him two hours earlier
"What a wretched man, Isn't he, Corin?" My sister-in-law declared
"Completely, what a scoundrel"
I growled
"I do not need your, or anyone's opinions. I am the lady of this castle and I will do as I damn well please. As a matter of fact, I will be giving him a piece of my mind. Right. Now"
My announcement was answered by a chorus of 'do not' and 'Sulpicia, stop' but I was not going to let this slide. I would have my husband and the guards execute him for this.
I marched down the halls, my hair and golden dress flowing. I couldn't think of anything other than my anger for that man. How dare he? Insinuate, no, tell me my marriage was loveless ... I slowed down for a minute
That's what he had said, right?
By saying I deserved better he was practically telling me that my current situation was completely loveless
Yes, that was it. Anger once again streamed through my veins. Every candle and painting rushed by as I regained my speed.
I could not let the stregoni benefici, Carlisle Cullen, win.
After not a lot of time had passed, I had reached the physician's chamber. No time to waste, I thought as I raised a hand and aggressively knocked on the door.
"Yes?" Carlisle said, opening the door. His hair disheveled and his linen shirt drenched, exposing his chiseled stomach and all its muscles
"I-"
A/N: Hi! So what do we think after the first chapter? I have already written all 4 chapters and I'm just waiting for the right time to publish them. This will feature a lot of character development for Sulpicia ( including giving her a personality ) and I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
