No Longer The Marquess' Wife
Episode 4 : Savior
Talia
Then I gladly accept your offer! Thank you so much Miss Bernie!
Bernie
Aww geez, there you go again!
Bernie
I told you to drop the honorifics already!
Bernie
You can start living here today if you wish, I will prepare your room.
Talia
Thank you but I will have to pack up the things I have brought before coming over, so could I come tomorrow?
Bernie
If that's what you wish then alright.
Bernie
What do you think of...
Bernie
Live-in work? In this tavern.
Bernie smiled and sighed.
Bernie
This tavern is actually my house as well after all I am the owner, while most of the employees are not staying in. I figured you might want to do live in work...
Bernie
Well, how do I put it... It will make things more convenient for you I suppose?
Bernie
But that's just me, it's still up for you to decide. I just thought the streets might get dangerous at night.
Talia reached out for Bernie's hand and smiled.
Talia
Thank you so much Miss Bernie!
It was all like a blessing to Talia.
It's as if she is getting repaid for patiently taking care of the man that still occupies her heart to this day.
Leiana
...that's what each and every one of you has to do.
Evelyn
Understood my lady.
Leiana
I will come and visit everyday to check up on the Marquess, make sure all of you does your job well.
Leiana turned away to leave.
Leiana
My business here is done, make sure to be at your best behavior. I shall take my leave.
Charlotte
Goodbye Lady Leiana...
Therese
Have a safe trip Lady Leiana.
Without looking back, Leiana walked over to her carriage as the estate staff watched her leave.
Surely with just one visit from her, everything changed.
The estate that seemed to fall apart was saved.
The store's chime was heard all throughout the dimly lit room.
There was a long moment of silence in the room as the Noah; the mage and owner of the booth stood frozen in his position as if he had seen a ghost.
Talia was not able to speak for a short while either as the man gazed upon her.
The man seemed a bit disoriented for a while and was fumbling with his words.
Noah
What brings you here lady?
Talia
I was told by one of the booth owners in this alley that this place has a mage...
Talia fiddled with her fingers and hesitated for a while.
Noah said as he walked over the counter and sat down.
Talia who stood before the entrance came near.
With a sigh, Talia laid her intentions bare.
Talia
Would you buy my eyes?
