"I am sure we will find a war, Rhistel." She calmly filled his plate again making sure that he ate well.
Rhistel looked at him with a smile. He could see how much Oriana had changed now that she did not need to fight for her position and did not need to worry that her husband would cheat on her and her position would be taken by another maid.
The security and peace around her hand made her a better person. Oriana noticed that he kept looking at her and raised a brow. She remained seated beside him to make sure that his every need was fulfilled.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked as she felt heat rising to her skin. Rhistel laughed and his gaze softened a lot.
"I just realized how beautiful my wife is!" she touched her soft cheeks. his gaze flickered on her candlelight dancing across her features.
The lines of fatigue on her face were more visible now, her eyes shadowed but clearer than before.
