Planet Inay
Kingdom of Kaia
Maid Pia waited outside of the Gods' temple. Her mistress sat beneath Kaia statue in prayer. Every night seen Lady Lyra would bring her as she prayed to the Gods. She didn't know what her mistress prayed for, but she hopes it was a child.
Lady Lyra was the seventh wife of Lord Mano. They had been married for years with no show of a child. If this continue Lady Lyra's position, which is already poor, will be ominous. Power struggles with the wives were already bad. Now that all of them are either pregnant or have children, the fights will be more intense.
Maid Pia amused in her thoughts didn't see Lord Mano and her steward walking towards her.

Lord Mano just came back from a tiring meeting with the counsel. Times were changing, and they didn't look good. He wanted to seek in under everyone's noses. But when he pass by the clan's temple. He saw a maid in a daze. Seeing his Lord captured by this scene, his steward offered up an explanation.
"My Lord that is Lady Lyra's maid. Lady Lyra comes every night for prayer."
"She does?"
His steward nodded his head in the positive, knowing why this shocked his lord. The people of Inay Kingdom have long ago drop their sacred traditions, at most they would celebrate the festivals. Let alone his wives, who only think about gaining of control over the clan.
Walking over the Lord wanted to see if his steward's words were true or if it was just for show. Though he has not spent enough time with Lady Lyra in their bond as husband and wife, he didn't see her as one for theatrics.
*Cough* *Cough*
The steward cleared his throat when he saw the Lady's maid hasn't notice their presence yet.
Coming out of the stupor, Pia quickly drop to her knees on seeing Lord Mano. Bowing deep Pia tried to regain her composure.
"My Lord! I-"
"Shhh!" The steward rapidly hushed the maid for Lord Mano.
Mano walked into the temple, not paying attention to the maid outside. He silently watched as Lady Lyra, in her own world bowed her head over and over while mumbling her prayers to the Gods. Truthfully Mano himself hadn't been in this temple for years. Maybe if came more he can seek guidance in these hard times.
Learning from Lady Lyra devotion, he walked in front of Kaia statue. Bending down, his head touched the floor before picking it back to say his prayers.
Lady Lyra never thought someone would come in here at this time of night. That's why she made it a point to come at night. Who would have thought the first person to ever catch her here would be Mano.
Seeing he didn't want to be disturb Lady Lyra continued to finish her prayers, without says a word to him. When they both finished they left the temple quietly to not disrupt the serene feeling.
Standing outside Lady Lyra waited as Lord Mano made his way down the steps after closing the temple's doors.
Face to face with his wife, Mano had forgotten how beautiful Lyra was.
Her pointed ears holding soft curled hair that followed natural down her back. Eyes of golden molten lava, hazel skin, high cheek bones, full lips, and a button nose. With womanly curves Lord Mano felt entranced by just looking at Lady Lyra.
Noticing the Lord was looking at Lady Lyra favorably. Pia decided to stick her neck out for the betterment of her mistress.
"If it pleases the Lord, please join my Lady back at her courtyard. It's been so long since yo-"
"Pia! You over step." Lyra abolished. "My Lord please forgive Pia, she is still young. " Lyra tries to save her maid from getting punish by bowing deep.
But before she can fully bend down on the ground Lord Mano, grasped her arms holding her in place.
"Though she has over stepped her boundary, she is not wrong. I can't remember the last time I have spent time in your courtyard. Do you care to keep me company?" Lord Mano stood there smiling holding a blushing Lyra in his arms.
Lord Mano was still one of the top handsome men of their Kingdom, even after leaving his prime years. Tall with a medium built, though his skin wasn't as rich as Lady Lyra's hazel, he still had clear café au lait skin. His pointed ears held back his long black straight hair from falling onto his face. While his features caused a lot of fae to be jealous. Especially his teal eyes, which looked as if the ocean was captured within them.
Lady Lyra had always found him a feast for the eyes. How could she deny his attentions he was giving her. Walking back to her courtyard hand in hand, Lord Mano and Lady Lyra felt giddily mischievous this evening as if they were drunk on sweet wine.
This feeling followed them all the way to Lady Lyra's bedroom.
