chapter 3

The celebration of the birthday of the young future-queen Rose was all over the area. Love, harmony, satisfaction, and happiness were filling the house of the Earl but it seems not everyone seemed to enjoy the event at all.

"I won't stand this ridiculous situation he placed me in!" said a woman with an Asian accent, she wears short black hair, and smudged makeup, especially the eyeliner she looks very scary, and a malicious aura emitted from her black eyes. She was throwing plates, cups, wine bottles anything that she can break in her open kitchen, cellar, and living room.

"It Was I who made him successful. I AM SUPPOSED TO BE THERE! My Baby is supposed to be the star, not hers."

She grasped her belly and tried to wipe her tears but instead broke down in tears again. "I will make you pay for the damages... Scarlett, your kid won't be happy for long, I will torture her, break her, make her dream of dying ending her misery."

Back to the Blissed couple Scarlett and rose were sleeping as newborns find difficulty in the first few days adjusting to their new harsh environment, so it takes a couple of days, weeks, and some months to fix sleeping problems and feeding time.

This is the case of little rose here, she made the parents and wet nurse sleep deprived. Finally, the mother and daughter were sleeping peacefully, and the father ran out of the room so fast and silent making sure not to disturb.

He went directly to the kitchen, "oh John I need aspirin and coffee. I can't take the pain in my head like this." Rex messaging his temple.

"Right away my lord, regular coffee? Or lady Scarlett's special one?" John opened the cabinet door and look at his master for an answer.

"Ah, man. Anything that can stop my headache."

The butler immediately started preparing the coffee blend and gave him a cup of water and white chalk-like color pills, two pieces of it, "here sire, take the aspirin while I finish the coffee"

The baron ingested the medicine, his face looks like a vampire, pale with black bags under his red-shredded eyes nonetheless.

"Sire, I suggest you take some fresh air outside. I will follow you with coffee and a small breakfast."

"Thanks, John. I don't want the newsletter, I want head messages" he grasped his head with a smile, "I know being parents is hard but it's worth it."

A few minutes later, John walked outside holding the special blend for the baron on the terrace. The terrace is open a small running water lake system, from the east the sunflower beds and old Victorian greenhouse and west side vegetable garden with fruit trees. As it's July the summer season just started, many trees were covered with ripen fruits and the view is mouth-watering. "I need to go fishing." the baron takes long deep breaths staring at the pond.

"Your coffee my lord," John announced.

"Prepare me the boat and my fishing equipment. I am planning to go fishing tomorrow. The fish there is very good, may I can bring my beloved wife some mountain herbs and vegetables." He sipped his coffee with a smile, "Ahh, this coffee blend is so good, my wife is a genius."

"As you order my lord, I shall prepare your necessities for tomorrow's journey, how long as you planning to stay?"

"I am a good fisherman, I think 1 day and night are enough, I can't run away from my duties and parenting. Scarlett will kill me, you know her well off my friend."

John nodded politely, "want a message sire?"

"yes, gently." he laid back on his chair and closed his eyes.

Fast forward to the afternoon, the phone rang, Liza the first lady-in-waiting of the lady Scarlett answered, "Hello, I am countess Nancy, lady Scarlett's aunt."

"Hello, your highness I shall link you to her phone -"

"don't, I don't want to wake the baby up. Tell her I want to visit her tomorrow and stay a night with her."

"yes, I shall tell the Lady and as granted by my masters welcome any time you wish to visit."

After the call ended, Liza ran to the Baron and the Lady to inform them of the visit.

"How delightful, my aunt coming means my mother must be coming too. I am excited to see her, I have not seen her for 6 months ago"

"My oh my! I am a lucky boy, I planned fishing in the blue lake." he grasped his wife's hand.

"fish there is premium. Good timing dear. We can have a nice dinner with aunt Nancy."

"nursing you back to health after birth is my priority and the reason why I am planning on fishing. I read about fish is very good for women after giving birth, especially since you're my darling sweetheart breastfeeding our baby with the wet nurse."

"you are right. How long are you planning on staying there?" she asked with flirty eyes.

He giggled and melted with a kiss, "if I leave now I can stay this night there and fish by morning and return by afternoon like this fish will be fresh as possible and we can have dinner with our beloved aunt Nancy and whiten our faces in front of our guests." He kissed her hands and smiled.

" you are smart. Rex my king" she kissed him on the lips.

"you bad boy, leaving me alone for tonight." flirting with him.

"If not for your goodness I would never dare to do so my Queen of Rouge"

John knocked on the door, "sire the car is ready to leave."

"coming" he stood up as his wife did and hug her tightly, they kissed passionately for a whole minute then broke the kiss, "call me when you get in there" she placed her arms on his well-defined chest.

"of course, love will call you as often as I can." they hug again. Rex and Scarlett walked together reaching the car. He got in the car and threw a kiss in the air for his wife, and drove off.
