2 days later after the fire incident.
Dariush reputation start to rise slowly, but still there is some people who still hate him.
But especially in farzad estate. People there start to love him more, respecting him and trusting dariush more. And in this short time, Shira who had a great reputation between the people helped too. After that incident people of the farzad estate started to do thier job better and faster.
In short word, their productivity raised up very noticeably.

Currently it's daytime. Outside of the dariush mansion it's still cold outside. But it's common in farzad estate. The wind is blowing today but aggressively.
Inside the mansion, Dariush is in his office. A fire crackles in the fireplace. Behind Dariush, who is currently sitting at his desk, a large window allows low sunlight to cast across the room.
In the office there is eira too, who is currently is sitting on a couch. In front of her there is a low table. On table there is a tea cup. He grabbed the tea cup and sip from it.
Dariush is looking at some papers.
Dariush thought:productivity of the estate is on max now. And it's very good. People are really changing their mind about me. (He smirked slightly)
And fortunately my memories, or let say I am starting to remember more of this body memories. But slower than I thought.
After a few moments later Kian knock the door gently and came in office with a letter in his hand, and said with slight worry: Mr dariush... I think we have a problem...
Dariush put papers that were in his hands away. And take the letter. It's has a eagle mark on it. Dariush thought to himself: from... Royal family..?
Dariush turned his head to Kian: this is from your dad or someone else?
Kian avoided eye contact for a moment and said: yes, it's from my dad.
Dariush and eira bodies both Tensed up. Dariush take a deep breath and said: I just hope it's a good thing.
Dariush slowly opened the letter. Unfolded it and Started to reading it. As he starts to reading his expression started to get more irritated and darkened.
Kian and eira realized something bad is going to happen.
Kian asked with hesitation: dariush... I mean, Mr dariush, are you ok?
Dariush shaked his head and said with frustration in his voice: no, not a chance. I feel so bad and angry. Now take this a read it aloud, I can't do it myself. (He give the letter to Kian and he takes it with hesitation)
Dariush lean in desk, clasped his hands together tightly and put it in front of his face while his elbows were on desk. This show how much he is holding back and resisting to snap.
Kian a eira heart already pounding.
Kian started to reading the letter aloud: this is from the emperor of nari to 'Duke of Autumn', the Mr dariush. For a diplomatic reason and Preventing war, we... Or let say I, arranged a marriage... Dad did what!? (Kian shocked but take a deep breath to continue)
He continued but his voice was slightly shaky: I arranged a marriage between you and a 'elf prince' from a elf empire. And... You can't... Say no. Whenever you were ready, you can marry with him. From the empire of Nari.
Office fall in silence. A very uncomfortable and deafening silence.
Eira shivered Visibily. Then dariush take a deep breath and said with bearly controlled anger: fuck my luck—he gritted his teeth— he didn't even give me option to say no. He knows I have a wife... But he doesn't care.
Kian folded the letter and placed the letter on desk. His is clearly irritated, but he is holding back:you don't have to worry too much Mr dariush, having a harm or marrying your same gender is common in world, especially in Nari.
Dariush growled. The vains on his forehead popping up. Both eira and Kian shuddered.
Dariush take another deep breath to calm himself down: that's not the case. I don't even care. But the fact that he is using me as a tool is making me upset. Not only that, he is clearly trying to destroy the relationship between me and eira.
Dariush lean back on his chair. His head falling back. He put his left arm on his eyes and he sigh deeply.
Eira stand up and moved to dariush behind and started to massaging his shoulder gently. And said calmly despite the tense atmosphere: dariush, my dear husband. I love you so much. And even if you marry with anyone who you want, I will always love you. My love won't never, ever change from something like this. Beside, I don't mind to have a little rivalry. (She looked down at dariush with adoring gaze. She smiled softly)
Dariush put his arms on his lap and looked up at her with loving gaze: thank you for everything my dear.
Eira smile widened and she warped her arms around his neck and pressed herself to dariush back. And whispered: no problem my love.
Kian just chuckled from this moment with closed mouth and clearly amused.
Dariush smirk and snapped at him playfully: oi! Don't laugh! This isn't funny! It's cute.
Kian and eira both can't holding back started laughing heartily.
And soon after dariush joined them too.
