Eden wasn't unflappable, she was just a good actress. Elliot knew his prim estate manager was terrified of him. Everyone was, but she was indebted to him and that made her loyal. He owned her the same way he owned everything else on the expansive land of the Wilder Duchy.
Usually her haughty airs and neutral expression entertained him, but today he found himself disproportionately annoyed with her. Green eyes made subtle saccades across her features, before they made a pointed and obvious drop to the child at her side that she was encouraging to speak. He watched the way her hand made gentle passes over the child's hair, and that was when he felt the first pang of jealousy. His frown deepened. He had only instructed her to keep the child alive. Elliot lifted his gaze to Eden once more and exhaled sharply through his nose. He looked at her in way that was both cruel and indifferent. She would be punished for what he viewed as her blatant insubordination.
Ellliot scoffed, his face twisting into a malicious sneer. "There is work to be done," he snapped at woman and child. "Consider that the next time you decide to take an unauthorized outing." He clawed fingers through dark and unruly hair. "Take the child to the dungeons."

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
