A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

As they both were discussing things a knock rang on the door.

Knock Knock

"Who is it?" Severus who was sipping the tea spoke up.

"It's me"

A lady having a sweet voice greeted Severus.

Severus frowned in annoyance when he heard Melannie voice in the morning. He was just discussing something important and here she comes, to foil everything.

"Oh!"

"May I enter"

Severus quickly stood up and went forward to open the door for her and greet her personally. Unlike yesterday his face wasn't expressionless and had a warm smile however an intense chill was present inside his eyes which he very securely covered it.

"Sure Miss Song. We don't dare to stop you in your own palace"

Melanie who for the first time heard his voice was stumped. It has been so long since she heard him and a feeling of nostalgia hit her however the way Severus spoke to her, she felt it odd but didn't pay heed to it.

"Arent you funny Savy"

"It's Severus Miss"

"Uh, yeah Mr Severus." 

Desella who was inside the room tried her hard to stop her giggles. Melanie's expression was too funny. Her cheek started paining and her eyes turned wet from all the struggle due to which a nice red blush appeared on her face.

Severus made way for Melanie and stood aside.

Melanie who was looking absolutely fabulous from top to bottom entered inside his room with a very lady-like manner and stood together with Severus, however on noticing that they were standing parallel, Severus actually shifted to sideways. Melanie and Desella's keen eyes noticed this action and both had different expressions. On one side it was Desella who was amused by such antics and on another, there was Melanie whose smile dimmed when she observed such reaction from Severus.

Melanie and Desella were both women and it was very easy for them to understand the situation. Both of the ladies had strong instincts and thus they more or less understood each other's intentions. Today Melanie was dressed up beautifully and it was very obvious. She was looking like a pompous trophy that everyone eyed. No one would wear such a attire casually. Although she looked very beautiful but for Severus, she looked no less than like a pastry. She looked beautiful like pastry until she was inside the glass box of a baker. Once it is outside, it looked no more appetizing. 

On the other hand, Melanie too judged Desella accurately. Although she wasn't sure about the whole situation and thing may change but one thing was confirmed, that was, she hated Desella. She wasn't aware of the reason but then again, do idiots nobels ever need a reason for hatred. Desella's beauty was enough for Melanie to hate her. Hate her from the core. It was no doubt that today Desella was too dressed up for Severus but between their conditions, there was a difference. Desella can dress up for Severus openly however same can't be said for Melanie.

Withing seconds Melanie was consumed with the rage. Severus interactions which was very close to Desella and it made Melanie uncomfortable. On top of that, Desella was a real beauty and today she was looking exceptional too, just like a wine glass. Fresh and juicy. Her anger was on the verge to get unleashed when she saw a red cross on Desella's neck. Thanks to her good memory, she remembered that this cross actually belonged to this person who was named as Severus and now, Desella was waring it. No matter from which angle she thought, she smelled ambiguousness in their relationship and anxiety started taking a toll on her. Thanks to her tremendous training of restraining her emotions nothing much leaked out but being a woman Desella felt the hostility from Melanie.

"Miss Song, have a seat", Severus who was standing on the side spoke. Earlier he waited quite some time for Melanie to speak but when he noticed that she wasn't speaking he took the lead.

A calm smile rippled on her face as she turned and faced Severus.

"Nothing much Mr Severus. I actually came here to invite you for breakfast. I heard from the maid that you denied breakfast and asked someone to bring it to your room so I just thought to give you company but I guess it's not needed any more. Nevermind, Ah yes there is another thing to add on. The crown prince is rather very busy with the work of the main palace. I hope you can understand, it's not an easy feast to run such a big empire and then to add on it there is the damage of yesterday too. He had sent his regards and asked you for dinner. Hope you will be free around that time."

"Ah, I see. Of course I understand Miss Song how difficult it is to run such a big empire. Yea sure we accept crown prince proposal."

"Nice to hear it." Melanie noticed that Severus and Desella were having breakfast together. The rage which was damped with much difficulties lit up again. 

"Are you free Mr Severus?"

"Pardon Miss Song?"

"Oh I mean, if you are free and getting bored then I can assign few maids for you. They will give a detour of this palace to you and you can spend time in beautiful gardens and lawns of the palace. Oh, we have a very beautiful garden known as the garden of seven seasons. It is extremely beautiful and all the flowers there are vibrant and fresh. I dare to say that you will surely like them." Melanie spoke excitedly and towards the end, her eyes were practically shining from anticipation.

Severus who was quiet was bewildered after listening to Melanie thoughts however like Melanie he too didn't show his bewildered expression on his face.

"Oh, we are very grateful for this generosity Miss Song. However, we do have some work in the city. I beg for pardon Miss Song but maybe some another day"

Melanie's face fell he she heard refusal from Severus and somewhere in her heart a dull pain came again. It was the first time Severus had ever refused him and this refusal actually hit her hard."Oh, you have some work. Nevermind then, I actually suggested it so that you don't get bored here. You can take royal carriage Severus"

However, Severus just shook his head. "We don't want to gather a lot of attention Miss Song. I don't think a royal carriage is necessary. You are making us indebted to you in your favours"

"I insist Severus. You are our honourable guest so it's common for us to provide you royal carriage."

"Miss Song, if you insist then but please can we switch to local carriage from royal carriage. The thing is that we are local peoples and will surely garner a lot of attention if we will use a royal carriage. I hope you can understand our difficulties"

Melannie tuned sour while facing one refusal after another. With a stifled smile, she uttered," Do as you please then. Flera"

"Yes, miss" one of the maids answered her back.

"Tend to their necessities"

"Yes Miss"

Melanie left with her entourage. 

Severus who near the door quickly closed the door when he saw them all leaving.

HAHAHAHA.

O MY GOD!

HAHAH!

"She sure is one of a kind aka one of kind Royal bitch!"

"......."

Severus"........"

"Why do you laugh so much?" Severus massaged his temples as he tiredly sat on the couch.

Desella who was laughing hysterically laughing stoped for once and with her big her eyes stared at Severus." Don't tell me you didn't notice?"

"Noticed what?"

"Ughh. She was jealous and pissed at the same time"

"Ehh! She was? I don't think so. I mean why will she be jealous?"

"Duh, she has feeling for you so of course, she is going to be jealous if she will see you with another woman. Haven't you observed how glamorously she was dressed up today? Wasn't she looking very pretty?"

"Pretty you say? Well, she is pretty. As for her attire, I didn't notice it. Wasn't it just clothes? Does it matter what design or what embroidery it has? At least not for me."

Desella lit a candle inside her heart for poor Melanie. Too bad, Severus didn't even notice her efforts."

"Let's not talk about her. We have several things to settle so gulp it down fast."

"Aye Aye Severus"

With that a certain glutton ate everything that was placed on table.

"Finished?"

'"Yes milord"

Severus laughed when he saw how silly Desella was behaving.contemporary romance

"Lets go then"

Flera helped Severus and Desella and helped them issuing a local carriage.

"Mister anything else?"

"No everything is fine."

"Mr Severus , Miss Song has asked to send some guards with you too."

"I see. Sure but I don't want more than two guards. I hope you can tell Miss Song about it and if possible asked the guards to not wear royal uniforme instead dress up like commoners.

"Will do"
