When it was time to open presents, Elisabeth was surprised to see one for her from Argus. She wasn't Surprised however to discover it was just a lump of coal. Luckily Father Winter gifts her a brand-new chess set.
Winterfest is finally here! Elisabeth decided to take up the task of making dinner. While her father is supportive, Argus doesn't understand why she's being difficult and not letting that staff do their jobs. Dinner ends up excellent though so Argus can't do anything but sit and smile.
Elisabeth's only happiness right now is Ladybug, the ranch hand that helps out with her isn't bad either, Elisabeth hasn't had anyone other than her parents to talk to lately, so his advances are a welcome surprise.
and an invisible fire too. the worst kind.
I literally just loaded into my game and there's a fire
Elisabeth can't believe that just trying to tell her husband about her day has turned into him yelling about her not being pregnant yet, when she tried to defend herself, Argus shut the conversation down and it was at that moment she decided to never speak to her husband unless absolutely necessary
That night Argus was actually home for dinner, so Elisabeth tried to tell him about her day and Ladybug. Almost immediately Argus Stopped her and told her he doesn't want to hear about the mundane things she does and that her only focus should be providing him an heir.
It seems Elisabeth's father felt worse than she thought, he sent some men over to build a stable and gifted her a horse named Ladybug. After a cautious first ride, Elisabeth knew Ladybug was going to be her best friend.
