Arranged Marriage To The Princess Of The Red Scorpions

Lena was happy after she had gotten her cake, but rather sticking around after they had eaten, she had left saying there were still things to do before she slept, but that Samuel should sleep since the next day was going to be busy for him.

He honestly would've rather gone with her to the office regardless of what it was that she needed to be able to focus on rather than being stuck at home, even if it was for extra training. He liked the change in his schedule.

Perhaps though if this was how it was going to be, he would try and take the chance to talk with Zane about what the option for him to go to college in a few years would be. Samuel still had goals that he wanted to succeed at after all and he didn't think that marrying and becoming a member of the Red Scorpions would conflict with them.

What bothered him more the next morning was the fact that the princess wasn't even there for breakfast. She had already apparently had to leave according the kitchen. He had been hoping that they would at least get the chance to have breakfast together as there was somethings that he wanted to ask her about, but now they would have to wait until later.

Zane had decided to join them for breakfast that morning, but Samuel didn't try to start a conversation with him because he didn't quite seem like he would be in mood for it. He seemed rather focused and tired that morning as though there was something weighing on him. Though, he then noticed that Julian seemed to behaving in a similar manner. Lisa and Zoe were either choosing to ignore or were used to the atmosphere at the table because they were talking between themselves as though there wasn't anything off going on. Zoe would occasionally glance at Samuel when she didn't think that he was looking. He wasn't quite sure what that was about, but he wasn't going to ask her unless she decided to speak to him.

After breakfast was over, he knew that there would be a bit of time before Clarice would be coming over. It was still early in the morning and he knew that she wouldn't work with him right after he ate because their training wasn't the right kind of exercise to help out his digestion.

He didn't want to talk with Zane just yet either since the other seemed like he wouldn't be in the mood for such trivial things. Thus, Samuel decided instead that he would go and spend some time outside. It might've been a touch warm that day, but it felt to him like it would be a waste to not go outside and enjoy at least a little bit of the morning sun. His schedule had him realizing that he didn't spend as much time outside anymore as he used to back when he was living with him family. There was always something to do outside when he came back home from school.

Plus, he knew that there was still a large amount of the property that he hadn't explored yet, but was interested to learn more about what was located where. Lena had explained to him before after had asked that although most of the family did eat their meals together, they didn't all live in the estate together. Julian and his family lived elsewhere on the property. As did other members of the family. It was convenient for everyone to live so close in the case that something happened, but they also liked to keep their own space since they were married and had kids.

Samuel felt in a way that it was a waste for everyone to not live under the same roof since they evidently had the space for it in the estate that Lena, Leo and Zane occupied and he was fairly certain that most of other rooms were empty despite the staff and other members that lived there with them. It felt like a waste to him that the space wouldn't be used for that.

It did make him wonder how it would work out when he and Lena got married. Would they still be living together with Leo and her father in that estate or would they be moved else where to their own place once they were married? He wasn't sure that he would be able to handle living in such a large empty house with it only being the two of them and a few members of staff. He thought that it would be too large and lonely like that.  Even if they had kids, he didn't imagine that they would have enough to fill all the rooms if where they lived was similar in size to where he was currently staying.

His mind was taking away from these thoughts when he came over to the stable area where the horses were. He hadn't been back around them since the first time he left. He hadn't really had the time even though he had wanted to come and visit them again. What surprised him though was that Leo was in riding with the horses. He wasn't sure which horse he was on, he just knew that it was Abyss or Goldie. This one appeared to be a painted horse. One that was perhaps on the younger side based upon it's size.

He seemed to be quite enjoying himself, though he wasn't going out as far as Lena had gone the time that they rode. He seemed to prefer to stay in the closer part of the pen. Samuel wondered if it was due to the fact that the horse he was riding seemed to be a bit rowdy. They didn't seem to be attempting to buck Leo off, but there was some sudden movements they were making that seemed to not be by Leo's directing.

Samuel had been watching him for a few minutes before Leo actually noticed that he was there. When he did though, he flashed him a smile and after a moment he brought the horse back closer in.
