She didn't really see what choice she'd have. If she declined he'd probably put her on the horse or toss her over his shoulder like a sack of flour. She nodded in agreement and walked over to the horse, getting on its back without any help needed. She held onto part of the reins with one hand so she didn't fall off, the majority of the reins in Dorian's hand. Her other hand held the flower basket in her lap. She might have been stubborn but she didn't want to make the prince mad, especially since she was his wife and had to sleep in the same room and bed as him. ﹄╔══════════════╗ If you love someone tellxx them because heartsxxx are often left broken byxx words left unspokenxxx ╚══════════════╝

Dorian watched her get on and it made him more amused but he didn't say anything as he lead the horse out of the forest through a certain path. Soon they were in the stables where he took her basket so she could get down on her own without any trouble since she did have on a dress. Once she was down he handed her the basket and lead his horse inside and patted the creature on his head before walking back out. Dorian wasn't sure where she would go after this but he headed to the room to change since his clothes were stained with grass and he knew his father and mother would be irritated by his dirt appearance.

All I know is xxevery time I think of you, xall I wanna do it be with you╚═══════════════╝ ﹃x Estelle got off the horse once Dorian took the flower basket from her. She thanked him and took the basket, heading into the castle. She went into the room that could be considered the mud room of the castle where the laundry was done. She washed off her hands then went into her and her husband's room, filled the vase with water and put the flowers in it. She went back into the mud room and washed her hands once again.
After Estelle was done with all that she started walking around the castle once again. She wasn't sure what part of the castle she was in but it seemed to be older and abandoned. There was no one in any of the rooms and the maids and butlers seemed to bypass it like it wasn't there. She eventually found a large room with a small sitting area with a couch and a few cushioned chairs, a coffee table in the middle, a couple bookshelves against the walls and some beautiful paintings. The room was a golden brown color, all the other colors like rich reds, browns, yellows and golds complemented the walls and drapes. But the only thing that Estelle really noticed was the sleek black grand piano. She sat down at it and played a few keys, hearing it was perfectly in tune. One weakness of hers was music, especially piano. She started to play Fur Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven, never missing a beat, keeping a perfect tempo and never messed up. ﹄╔══════════════╗ If you love someone tellxx them because heartsxxx are often left broken byxx words left unspokenxxx ╚══════════════╝

Dorian changed his clothes and walked back out of his room and also walked around the castle. He went into the library she had gone into earlier and sat down at a table and looked through some papers he had told a butler to give him. After a couple minutes he gave them back to the man and headed toward another room but paused when he heard the piano being played. He made his way over to the room and walked in to see Estelle sitting there playing. Without making a noise he sat over on the couch and listened. A maid came in bringing the tea he had asked her to bring before he had walked into the room.

Estelle was just so fixated on the song she was playing and not hitting the wrong keys. When she finished the song she sighed and smiled a little, glad she had played the whole song without one mess up. Now, if only her father had heard that maybe he wouldn't think of her as such a failure. She frowned at the thought, staring blankly at the white keys of the piano. ﹄╔══════════════╗ If you love someone tellxx them because heartsxxx are often left broken byxx words left unspokenxxx ╚══════════════╝

Dorian nodded to the maid as a way of thanking her when she had brought the tea and set it down. His glanced went from the elderly woman to his wife who sat at the piano still unaware of his presence and the fact that the maid had walked in with the tray of dishes that clanked together with every step she had made. A small smile spread on his face showing how amused he was again. Dorian stood up and strode over to his piano which had his named engraved on it but it was on the lid that covered the keys and since that was propped up she was unable to see it. Slowly he sat beside her and gently pushed her so that she was slightly on the edge of the bench but no where near falling over. He now sat in the middle and began to play a song. After a couple seconds of playing he spoke but still played the song, "Ludwig van Beethoven...such a great composer but know who else is?" He smiled and figured she'd know who he was talking about considering the fact that he was playing a song by Mozart.

She blinked a few times before looked at Dorian, turning a bit pink when she realized that he must have been listening. "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart..." She answered as she watched him play. She noticed he was smiling as he played and smiled as well as if it was contagious. "How long had you been listening?" She asked looking from his fingers to his face as he played. She hoped he only walked in when she was halfway through the song and not while she was testing the piano. ﹄╔══════════════╗ If you love someone tellxx them because heartsxxx are often left broken byxx words left unspokenxxx ╚══════════════╝

About half way through the song she asked how long he had been there. He chuckled lightly and continued to play flawlessly, "For a while, before you started to play the song. Though I'm glad you have taken a liking to my piano. I rarely get to play now-a-days and figured it was getting lonely. So feel free to play when ever you wish, just don't get it dirty, spill anything on it, scratch it, or break it. I'll be very upset." He glanced at her with his cold serious expression before smiling warmly at her. He continued to play until the end.

She found it a bit embarrassing that he had been listening to her play for that long. She gulped slightly at the look he gave her before he smiled at her warmly. She nodded, a gentle smile on her lips. "I'd never do anything like that to a piano." She assured Dorian. She especially wouldn't ruin something that he owned, not wanting to see the wrath of the prince. After he finished playing she clapped her hands together lightly. Even though the claps echoed through the room they were still soft and not too loud. ﹄╔══════════════╗ If you love someone tellxx them because heartsxxx are often left broken byxx words left unspokenxxx ╚══════════════╝

He glanced and nodded, "Good to hear that, and I forgot to compliment your skills as a pianist, you were very good, flawless. May I ask where you learned to play the piano?" He sat there staring a conversation, in fact he was asking questions that would get to know her better which was a good thing since they were now married and at least they had the love for piano in common. Though, he truly was curious as to how she learned how to play.

She said, "I taught myself how to play then my mother would tell me what notes I was playing and I learned that way. Did you take lessons?" She asked, knowing he probably had. ﹄╔══════════════╗ If you love someone tellxx them because heartsxxx are often left broken byxx words left unspokenxxx ╚══════════════╝
