Meyda slowly opened her eyes, it was early in the morning. The sun was just beginning to rise, the birds in the garden were not even awake yet. She lifted her head and saw that she had fallen asleep upon Ginat’s chest. Her mind just went back what happened last night, he was so mindful and careful last night. He kept reminding her that she was in control, even when he was entering her and shot of pain went through her body. But they needed to consummate this marriage, and after the shot of pain, she had entered the sea with waves of pleasure. Something she hadn’t suspected that it would feel this good. She looked for the second day in a row at the sleeping face of the Black Wolf, he was rather handsome. And the rhythmic sound of his heartbeat and the slow rising and falling of his chest brought her back to sleep.

The next time she opened her eyes, Ginat was staring at her. With a huge smile on his face, she gave him a smile in return.
“Good morning, did you sleep well?” He asked his voice was still thick of sleep, his iron gray eyes were a bit foggy as well. She nodded as a reply to his answer, his bare chest was a very good pillow. “So we are free today, no meetings, dress fittings, lessons. What do you want to do today?” She played with her mouth for a few seconds, that was a very good question. There were so many things she wanted to do, laying like this for the whole day was among them. But that could be viewed as lazy, and that was a word that didn’t fit her.
“I think breakfast on the balcony, then you help me with my bath and a stroll through the garden.” She replied, his grin widened a little.
“A stroll?” he asked, playfully. “Alright that sounds like plan, lets do it.” He pushed of the sheets and grabbed his pants that lay besides the bed. Quickly put it on, before he left the bedroom he turned around to say. ”I am going to warn the servants.” In other words get dressed, before they enter. She chuckled softly put on a robe, and opened the door to the balcony. A couple of Goldcrests, a small bird with a yellow golden cap on top of their heads, were sitting on the banner. Not paying any attention towards her, while singing their love song in the golden rays of the sun. She sat down as softly as she could and listened. Ginat knocked before he set foot on the balcony, quickly she placed her finger in front of her mouth and pointed towards the birds. He nodded with a smile and also sat down, they stayed silent until the servants scared the birds by setting foot on the balcony, with loud voices. “Do not worry, Goldcrests are very common inside this garden and they nest here often. You will see them, again. Or another couple of the same species.” She nodded slowly, while Aleen placed the breakfast tray on the small round table. It was the same type of food as the previous days, which she didn’t mind. Everything was better then plain old bread every two days. Only Ginat was not amused by this, “I know she need to eat well to gain some more weight and strength, but what happened to a variable diet?” Aleen bowed.
“I do not know, my Lord. I asked the cook the same question, and he said that this were the good doctors orders. But he is willing to change it up a little, have the eggs baked instead of cooked, another type of broth.” Aleen said.
“It is fine Ginat, and Aleen thank the cook for me. His food is the best food I have ever eaten.” Meyda said, which didn’t say much, but she hoped that the man would take the compliment. “Ginat and I are going to stroll through the garden later today. Can you arrange some tea and snacks in one of the pavilions?” She glanced over to Ginat who started to gleam with pride, not knowing why, but she was willing to take it.
“Yes, my Lady. Do you have one of the pavilions in mind?” Aleen replied and she shook her head. She has never being in the garden, so she wouldn''t know which pavilion to choice. “Oh, what a stupid question. Never mind, I will inform my Lord which one is ready for use. I am going to confirm this with the gardeners first.” Ginat nodded, didn’t he have a preference? Maybe not, otherwise he would have voiced it. She was sure about that. She picked up her spoon and started to eat her breakfast, the … came back and started to sing right away. Meyda placed some breadcrumbs on the palm of her hand, which were picked off rather quickly.
“That is your breakfast,” Ginat joked. “You will never grow up, if you give it all away.” She chuckled softly.
“I am not going to die, if I give that little bit away,” she said and he nodded.
