Anonymous Presents (Aria)

[Yuki D'Avranches]

It was the day she was heading out to the family estate and she had wanted to leave a little present for Aria to make up for everything that she had put her through. She was currently sitting in her room staring at the tea set that she brought the day before while she was giving Gabriel a tour of Nova. It wasn't super fancy it was just a beautiful handcrafted amber tea set she and fallen in love with the design and brought it on a whim. After that, she had gotten someone to get a small box of Aria's favourite tea which she was thankful she learnt thanks to the unplanned trip to the hot springs.


Taking some paper she carefully warped each cup and saucer not wanting them to get damage when she got a servant to delivery for her. Once everything was wrapped she placed it all into a wooden box with another within it this one containing enough tea that should last a person about two weeks if they drank three cups a day. Getting the red wrapping paper she wrapped the box making sure to get the all the corners done nicely, next she wrapped the white ribbon around it tieing it off in a nice bow.


Staring at the present wondering if she should add a note to it. After much thought, she added a small note to the package:
 
'To Duchess Aria,



I pray that this finds you well.

I do hope that you like the present.'

Deciding not to sign her name she, grabbed the present placing the note under the ribbon. Until she reached the area that Aria resided in, she wasn't even sure if Aria was in her room. Walking up to the door she placed the present down then knocked on the door before taking off down the hallway not slowing down until she turned the corner and started walking back towards her room to finish her packing for her trip home.

It was much much later that Aria received the package. Seeing how she did not sleep within the castle since the burning and collapsing of the room directly above hers. A servant found the package in front of their rooms and read the note. Instead of keeping the package they decided to deliver it to the right owner. They tracked Aria down by the stables whom was very surprised to have reviewed an anonymous package.

Aria thanked the servant and read the note before opening the package. She was delighted to find a wondrous tea set and some of her favorite tea. Along with the new puzzle that the package brought. Only a few people knew of her favorite type of tea. Those people were those whom she told at the springs, Otosa, and Saden…Saden would have known where she currently resided so he was out. Otty she hadn’t heard from in a long while; not since the drama brought on by the execution. She figured he got as far from the city as he possibly could after that. So really it left it down to the people at the springs. Melda, Daimond, Lucinda, Yuki, Adrain, Or Ellie.

Aria placed her tea set and tea in a safe place in the stables; she would bring it to Garretts later that night and eventually to her own home.
