Elowen fell silent.

It struck her then how different women could be

Some learned to hold onto a husband’s affection navigating every hidden rivalry within a household.

Others never needed to.

They had enough standing to choose for themselves.

The thought eased her unease.

Back in her room, Cassian noticed the lingering fatigue in her expression and smiled faintly.

“Don’t dwell on it. You’ve done enough today. Get some rest. The instructor will arrive tomorrow. Spend a couple of days learning properly, then we’ll leave for the estate.”

Elowen paused. “We’re really going?”

She had thought it was only an excuse. Cassian nodded. “Hugh says the springs there will help with my recovery.”

Elowen let out a soft sound. If it was for that, she couldn’t refuse.

“Alright. Then we’ll go.”

But something still puzzled her. “If it helps, why not leave tomorrow? Why wait for the instructor?”

Cassian looked at her, his gaze deep in the candlelight. “Because this trip isn’t just about the springs.”

Elowen blinked. “Then what else?” A faint smile touched his lips.

“You’ll see.”

He brushed her cheek gently. “For now, focus on your lessons.”

“Alright.”

Exhaustion caught up with her quickly that night. The moment her head touched the pillow, she drifted into sleep.

The next morning, she woke to Mira’s soft voice

Cassian was already gone.

“Your Grace, wake up. The instructor has arrived”

Elowen rubbed her eyes, her thoughts slowly clearing.

“Have Cora settle her in first. Place her in the guest room near our wing. I’ll see her shortly.”

After washing and dressing, she had someone summon Sylvia as well, then called for the

instructor.

They met in the study.

Sylvia arrived first. After she had taken her seat, a well-dressed matron entered not long after, following Cora inside.

She paused at a respectful distance, then inclined her head in a composed, courtly manner.

“My name is Cecilia,” she said evenly. “I was invited here by His Grace to instruct you both.”

Elowen sat upright at the table, a small notebook and quill already in hand. She listened with full attention, then carefully wrote the name down on the first page in neat, deliberate strokes.

Cecilia caught the motion from the corner of her eye, a faint smile touching her expression. She’s unexpectedly earnest.

Once the water was set, the lesson began.

Cecilia did not hesitate.

“What I teach concerns the private duties between husband and wife,” she said, her tone steady and composed. “How to maintain harmony within marriage, how to fulfill one’s role, and how to ensure the continuation of the family line.”

Elowen lowered her head at once, writing everything down with careful precision.

Beside her, Sylvia sat stiffly, her composure slipping. A soft flush spread across her face, climbing from her cheeks to the tips of her ears and down along her neck.

Cecilia observed them both, then gave a calm, reassuring smile.

“There is no shame in this,” she continued. “These matters are essential to the stability of a household and the continuation of a noble line. They are guided by both nature and order. There is no need for embarrassment.”

Elowen leaned forward slightly, intent on recording every word.

Cecilia let out a quiet, amused breath.

“You needn’t write everything down. It’s enough to understand.”

Elowen paused mid-note, glancing up with a hint of confusion.

Cecilia continued, her tone turning more instructive.

“Moderation is the first principle. Excess brings harm. One must consider timing, condition, and balance, and never act to the point of exhaustion.”

She paused briefly, her expression growing more serious.

“There are also boundaries. During violent storms, illness, fatigue, or certain physical conditions, it is best to refrain. One must respect both the body and the order of nature.”

Elowen considered this, then nodded slowly.

Cecilia gestured lightly toward the notebook.

“These, you may write.”
