The death of Myrcella's father had hit her family hard. But none so as much as it did her mother, Gwendolyn Bochanan. Even the house staff were sombre, some even going through a mourning of their own. The weather had been damp and stormy as though the very lands were crying over the loss as well. It was certainly a strange time at the Bochanan Estate.
Myrcella kept to her Mother's side when she was wanted, there to offer comforting hugs as well as sone company. She wondered about her own future. Would Titus Phane be sent to war once he became a Knight? Would he be slain and then she would become a widow like her Mother? Or would they live happily to a ripe old age with children and grandchildren to take care of their affairs soon after their passing? Of course Myrcella chose the latter. She'd prefer it.
But right now she had to try to push aside her own self for a change and worry about her Mother. So of course she came up with the perfect idea. A painting. Not one of flowers that Myrcella usually painted, but one of her Mother and Father's wedding bands on their hands with their fingers intertwined. It wasn't so easy to do by memory. So she used one of the maids and one of the footmen as models for her.
Tucking a brush behind her ear, Myrcella smudged a bit of the painted canvas with a bit of cloth to help blend the colours. "I hope she likes this. I really do." Her words were spoken more to herself than anything else and if Titus was there, he'd be giving her lots of encouragement. But he wasn't. At least not at the moment.
Titus was her first crush. He was the head butler for the Estate. And although her Mother wasn't happy with Myrcella's wishes to marry him soneday, she didn't exactly say no to it either. Titus had many hoops to jump through. He had to gain Knighthood first and then title to his own lands. The process could take years. Yet both were willing to do so.
Would her Mother remarry? And if so would her step-Father approve? Everything was up in the air now.
Oh why did her Father have to die?
