Chapter 17 <— Ducal Couple — > (5)
“I have not learnt very much. There are many things I lack to fulfill my duties as the Duchess so I asked the Duke to tell me about you. After which, I asked him to ask you. I’ve heard you are a very busy person, but if there are any interruption in the schedule, I ask you to please understand. Ah, if my words or actions are not polite, please tell me.” [Lucia]
A smile appeared on Michelle’s tightly closed mouth.
“For manners, Madam doesn’t have more to learn. The essence of courtesy is consideration for the other party. To learn how to sincerely treat the other person, and learning how to express it, is manners. Madam already has those two things down, what else can I add?”
“You flatter me.”
Lucia’s face was tinged red. Michelle felt as though Lucia were her beautiful granddaughter and laughed heartily. She had thought that Lucia would be very arrogant since she was a princess.
She knew the duke was not really calling her for teaching but because Michelle was in a great position in the social circle, to let the Duchess get a head start.
Michelle had never thought of the Duke of Taran as a good person. She didn’t want her son or her grandchild having the Duke as a role model. A competent man but not a good person. The duke was arrogant, unyielding, and regarded interaction with people as trivial.
Still, she had to acknowledge his eyes for people was outstanding. But now she sees that his wife’s eyes were also impressive.
‘The Duke found a good wife’
Some thought that because of the Duke’s extravagant tastes in women in the past, he would marry a remarkable beauty but they didn’t know what they were saying. The Duke was a very cold man and would not move without benefit.
So for a wife, he probably thought to pick someone who was good at listening, hassle-free, and suited his level. Michelle thought that, one day when she gets to see the Duke, ignoring the consequences, she would definitely tell him.
‘Show affection to the Duchess’.
Even if it is not romantic love, at least, to not throw away his existing feelings. A woman who receives no affection would feel anxious about her place and becomes nervous (1). So with only their pride alive and they become full of thorns and increasingly picky.
Many people overlook the fact that if the mistress of the house is not comfortable, eventually the household will be shaken.
Michelle had to admit that her predictions were wrong. She had seen a lot of people and could tell at a glance what type of person they were. The Duchess was an innocent and clean person. She couldn’t see any anxiety or depression. It was the appearance of a woman who received plenty of affection.
“I believe you’ve been married for about two months.” [Countess]
“Yes.”
“Then, it is around the time to start activities outside. Starting with a light tea party would be good.”
“What size would be good?”
“Since it is the start, it is okay to start small. Invite around 10 people, mainly wives of Duke’s vassals. You can ask the head butler whom to invite. The Duke’s head butler is competent.”
Lucia nodded her head. Jerome was definitely competent.
“Actually, I have a lot of people to meet. Do I have to open something like a ball?” [Lucia]
“Just because you are the Duke’s wife does not mean you have to be a socialite. In fact, social activities and aptitude must match. You can’t not do it all, but it has to be done moderately. Around twice a month, throw a tea party or a garden party, inviting only women. It’s also good idea to sometimes increase the number from 10 to 30 people. ”
Countess Corzan’s way of teaching was to give good advice while conversing. In a conversation that spanned nearly two hours, Lucia learned what she did not know and got to understand interesting facts.
Lucia sincerely admired the Countess who spoke elegantly without getting boring and skillfully used the Chinese language. It was the same for Michelle whose heart was moved. The more they continued to talk, the more Michelle was attracted to Lucia’s mild and ill-will lacking personality (2).
It was pretty hard to find someone with such a character. Michelle was in a good mood because she had found a good friend, disregarding the age differences.
“If Madam needs someone to talk to, I would like to introduce you to my niece. Her conduct is not elegant, but her character is bright and not lavish. She will be a great help to the madam in finding enjoyment in your northern life. ” [Countess]
“I’m grateful but I am already adjusting well to my life here and I don’t need a friend who will be checking my mood.”
“Ho-ho. Madam is very honest. Kate is, ah, her name is Kate. Kate does not possess the courtesy to try and please her friends. If Kate does not like Madam, she will not become friends with you. ”
“I’m interested. I’m willing to meet her. She sounds like a charming lady. ”
“She is a person with many merits and demerits. When her friend’s fiancé cheated on her friend and deceived her, she did not hesitate to embarrass him. If someone tells me her name, my head hurts to know what incident she’s caused again. ”
“But you love your niece.” [Lucia]
Michelle smiled brightly. Her eyes were filled with affection for her niece.
“Because she’s a lovable child. But I am worried that there is no brave man that will marry her. Even though she hasn’t married, she attends to and counsels young girls who are in love. She can become a good counselor for the madam. ”
“But I’m already married.”
“Marriage is not the end, it is the beginning. Before marriage, had you been in a relationship for some time with his Grace?”
“Relationship…?”
When Lucia thought about it, there was no relationship reason for meeting with him. As soon as they met, she proposed. At the second meeting, they signed a contract. At the third meeting, she was doing laundry then she got caught and got told off on something similar. Then she signed the marriage certificate.
“Umm…before marriage, I met with his Grace, three times.”
Michelle’s hand that was holding the teacup paused for a moment and she put down the cup.
“Can you tell me how his Grace treats you in the house? Actually, for me to talk about this would be considerable risk. It might be taken as slander against your husband to you, the Hostess. But Madam seems to have married his Grace without knowing him very well, it’s a little sad.”
“Tell me please. I promise not to keep it in mind.” [Lucia] (3)
“Well, first of all, could Madam describe to me what kind of person his Grace, the duke is?”
“Honest…right?”
“Yes. Honestly.”
“Umm. He is… not fickle… but he acts as he pleases. Once he concludes and ends something. He turns his head and would never look back. He is an indifferent and cold person.”
“This. I said something pointless. Madam knows him very well.”
The Taran Duke’s outer shell alone was the best thing about him. His stunning looks and body were the manifestations of women’s fantasies.
In fact, there were no single northern girls who had actually seen the duke once and not fallen into a one sided love, even though the duke never hit on them.
Daring girls actually threw their bodies at the Duke. Usually, the duke responded to their temptation. Then, women fall into the illusion that he would soon fall for them. It didn’t take long for the illusion to break.
When the woman first gets hurt or falls for him and begins to want a little affection, the duke would throw them away with no hesitation. Many of the ladies Michelle had taught were so hurt and would cry in front of her.
Thanks to that, even though Michelle had never properly spoken to the Duke of Taran, she knew more than anyone else about the Duke’s bedroom matters.
Translator’s Corner:
(1). Her place as in her place as his wife. It literally said her ‘seat’ but I think place fit better.
(2). This sentence threw me off so much. It said she was “반했다” (banhaessda) which I thought translates to she was against it and I was like…whaa? So I went digging and found that it actually had TWO meanings. Learning new things everything. Also I was somewhat confusing it with “반대했다” (bandaehaessda) which is what means against. They sound too similar.
(3). I couldn’t make this flow well but basically, Lucia is telling the Duchess that she can speak her mind, and she wouldn’t take it to heart.
< — Ducal Couple — > (5)
TN: I think the raws I’m following are a bit different. There’s a division right at the start of ch 17 part 1 like this: < — 공작부부 — >
Which essentially means a new ducal couple part so… yea. Imma just follow it, sorry if the numbering throws you off. I did wonder why they weren’t as long. This must be why.
The Ducal couple had been married for about two months.
It was the time where one could not abandon dreams and expectations of a honeymoon. However, the Duchess seems to have accurately figured out his Grace. It was evidence that she had not completely fallen for her husband. Michelle was surprised and pleased about that.
“Excellent. your Grace is not forgetting about herself. A woman is a truly sad existence. When they give their hearts, they have the tendency to excessively depend on the recipient. When the person disappears, they cannot stand alone and collapse, abandoned.”
Lucia smiled awkwardly and nodded her head. She was being praised but did not feel happy about it. Lucia could not forget about herself because she had given up everything in the first place.
“But, you should not excessively keep your husband at a distance. Maintaining the right distance is very important.” [Countess]
“Maintaining the right distance…” [Lucia]
Lucia nodded her head.
“I’ll ask a rude question. How many times a week does his Grace visit your bedroom?”
“Yes? Ah…”
Lucia’s face went red. “He comes…everyday”
Michelle’s eyes grew slightly but assumed an air of indifference and replied, is that so. She had found out a very interesting fact. On the contrary, the one being left out was the Duke. If Michelle were alone, she would have burst out laughing. The Duchess who appeared innocent suddenly looked different.
Men always want what they cannot get and the Duchess was maintaining the perfect distance to make the Duke want more.
“Keeping the right distance… how do you do that?” [Lucia]
“I’ll tell you, little by little.”
Michelle murmured inwardly, ‘It doesn’t seems like there’s anything more to teach the Madam. ‘
It was obvious to her as more time passes between ducal couple, the emphasis in the relationship would gradually shift towards the Duchess. This was a speculation from Michelle who had consulted and personally watched over many men and women relationships.
But there was one mystery that Michelle could not solve.
‘Just what charm of this person shook the Duke?’ The Duchess, of course, had no way to know that the Duke had completely fallen for his wife’s body. It was to the extent that he couldn’t get it out of his mind.
Countess Corzan, afterwards, decided to visit them regularly. And, after about a week, Lucia decided to throw her first tea party.
“Mistress.” A maid with a flushed expression spoke carefully “By any chance…is it possible that you are pregnant?”
“Pregnant?”
Lucia knitted her brows at those ridiculous words.
“You have not had your period for more than two months. There is no way to know so how do you feel about having a checkup?” [Maid]
The most important work of the maidservants was looking after the health of their masters. It wasn’t until after two months had passed that they discovered something was seriously strange with their mistress’ body and needed to be looked into.
If a specific maid continuously attended to Lucia, then it would have been noticed faster. However, the maids took turns over several days to serve her and kept assuming a different maid had waited on Lucia when she had her period.
Even then, they naturally did not forget to perform their jobs and when they got together and conversed, they realized none of them had seen Lucia menstruating.
At that moment, all the maid were frightened. The first thing they were suspicious of was pregnancy. There was no one in Roam that didn’t know that the ducal couple’s relationship was passionate.
“No. It’s nothing like that so don’t worry about it.”
Lucia, with her eyes showing no excitement, replied coldly.
“But Mistress. Still, seeing a doctor…”
“It is nothing like that. I know my own body very well.” [Lucia]
“…Yes. Mistress.”
The maid withdrew but did not give up. If be any chance, the Mistress was pregnant and in that state, she was unaware and something went wrong with the baby, the maids would be firmly dealt with.
She could not stop being anxious and quickly went to inform Jerome.
“Mistress. I listened to the maids and there seems to be a problem with your health.”
The moment Jerome arrived and began to speak, annoyance lightly flitted across Lucia’s face then it passed. Her eyes stopped for a moment on the maid that was standing behind Jerome. It was not a menacing glare but the maid couldn’t help but shrink.
Somehow, since it was Jerome’s first time seeing the mistress like this, he became nervous and started cautiously.
“Mistress, has the doctor ever made you feel uncomfortable?”
“It’s not like that. I’ll say this again, I’m not pregnant nor do I have any health problems. This is something his Grace already knows.”
Jerome fell silent for a moment, considering what to say.
“But Mistress, if by any chance a problem is found with you, we will not be able to avoid responsibility for it. May I confirm again with his Grace about this fact?”
From the beginning, she had already said she couldn’t get pregnant. He had only asked if she could prove it and afterwards showed no interest. It would be too surprising if he were to say that she was lying all this time and the truth was she could become pregnant.
“My words are not lies however I will tell him again.”
“May I confirm afterwards that Mistress has told him?”
These days, Jerome had been pretty meek around Lucia, but he was never an easy person. If he was only a good person, there was no way he could be the head butler at such a young age.
“…I’ll inform him when you are there. Is that good enough?”
“Yes, Mistress. I’m sorry for making you uncomfortable.”
“You are just doing your job as the head butler. But that child.”
Lucia’s gaze once again fixed onto the maid.
“I was definitely clear on what I said yet you ran to the butler without asking me twice. I don’t want to have someone who is keeping tabs on my movement by my side. Please send her out today.”
“Yes…Mistress.”
The maid’s face went black and she dropped her head while Jerome bowed his head with an earnest expression. He had thought she was a simple and nice person, but she knew just when to start and when to end that she seems a bit cold.
It seemed like the two of them were matches made in heaven. The butler who felt satisfied and full just seeing this new part of master was one step closer to being master-lover.
-------------------------------------------
Chapter 18 < — Ducal Couple — > (6)
A few days passed by and Jerome continuously hung around Lucia.
“Your Grace, I don’t about other things but about whether you are pregnant or not, it’s be good to be sure.”
Eventually, Lucia agreed to receive treatment from Anna.
“It is not pregnancy.”
In contrast to Lucia who accept it naturally when Anna raised her head and said this, Jerome had a slightly disappointed expression. But before Lucia could raise her head and see this, he quickly hid it. He didn’t want to take the chance of let his disappointment hurt her.
“Did her Grace have any symptoms that made you suspect pregnancy?”
Since Anna was suddenly called to verify if Lucia was pregnant, she was a bit suspicious. If Lucia was truly suspected of pregnancy and Anna couldn’t verify it, she would be slightly worried about her ability as her primary doctor.
Jerome made a promise with Lucia. After they verified if it was pregnancy or not, he wouldn’t mention things about the state of her body and the task of informing the duke about the situation would be left to Lucia.
“No, Anna. Her Grace seemed more tired these days so…”
“In my opinion as a doctor, there’s a different reason as to why her Grace is tiring easily. A woman’s body is not steel. Head Butler, let me speak to his Grace once. Anytime is fine. Her Grace is already needing restorative medicine at such a young and energetic age. After I finish working, I take a break from work. This is just the same thing.”
Anna was only giving her opinions as a doctor, however the more she spoke, the stranger the mood became. Jerome stared at the air uncomfortably while Lucia looked down.
“Isn’t your Grace having a hard time? Please pass my words onto the Duke.”
It wasn’t like she was having a hard time but Lucia’s face was currently dyed red and she couldn’t say it. Especially not with the current mood in the room.
‘I like him coming to my room everyday’
She couldn’t say it at all.
“If it is hard for the head butler to say then, I can tell him myself” [Anna]
“Ah, no. I…will tell him. So…to what extent..?”
“Five days. And with a day of rest.”
“…Yes.”
Even though Anna could sense the embarrassment in the air, she remained brazen. If a doctor was talking about a patient’s condition and got embarrassed, they wouldn’t be able to treat them properly.
After they all left and Lucia was alone, she went to the bedroom, opened the big windows and went onto the balcony. A tender breeze gently passed by her.
Just for an instant, when Anna announced that she wasn’t pregnant, Jerome’s voice lost its energy.
Lucia felt a bit bad. In her dreams, she was 15 when she started menstruating. No one was around to teach her that those were the signs of becoming a woman. Usually, the inns taught those things but in the palace there were no inns and the palace maids did not care if it was not their business.
The orphan-like young princess, to the palace maids, was not a master that they had to serve but a burden they had to take care of. Whenever she had menstrual blood on the bed, the maids would have increasingly annoyed expressions as they changed the bed sheets.
After entering the palace, Lucia had lost almost all of her youthful cheerfulness. She became more timid and spoke fewer words. The young Lucia of that time did not learn how to call the people under her or act majestic and with dignity.
‘I might die soon’
The fact that she was continually losing blood from her body was horrifying to her. She became extremely obsessed with her fears.
‘I have to stop the blood. Then…medicine. I have to take medicine…’
Drug that stops bleeding. At that time, an herb accurately appeared in her mind. It was an herb called mugwort. Mugwort was a very common herb with three leaves. It could be seen growing here and there, and even in the palace it could be seen growing around.
When mugwort was boiled hard, dried, ground and then sprinkled onto the wound, it would have a hemostatic effect. It was an emergency medicine that the common people used for first aid when they could not find or afford a doctor. Its effect was incomparable to a doctor’s work but it sufficed.
Lucia had learnt first-hand that it had the ability to stop bleeding. In the past, she, with the village children had run around the neighborhood, digging up grass here and there. She had fallen and scrapped her knee and it was sprinkled on her injury. At that time she had thought it was fascinating the way the blood had stopped flowing after a while.
Hence, Lucia started taking the mugwort herb from the garden. She didn’t know how to make it for eating so she just ate it raw. She simply thought that because the blood was flowing from her body, it made sense to eat it.
Surprisingly, the effect was immediate. Her period did not come.
So, the next month when she bled again, she took it and in that way, continuously for half a year, after which she completely stopped bleeding. At the time, she had no idea what had happened to her. She didn’t even know the word infertility itself.
Later, while she was married to Count Martin, she found out the truth of her body.
‘Thank goodness.’
That was the first thought that came to her. The moment she learnt that was no chance of her giving birth to a child for the Count, she felt as though she had stopped walking towards the edge of a cliff and her heart felt completely at ease.
After the marriage with the count ended and Lucia became free again, she started to look at her body. Apart from her abnormal infertility, there was nothing wrong with her body.
But for a woman, she knew it was a fatal problem to have hence, she started to look for a cure. Every doctor that visited her shook their head. They all said that mugwort was poisonous herb that should have never been eaten.
“I’m not sure if the infertility is rooted…oh, you ate it? Just why would you do such a thing…”
Even then, usually, the doctors couldn’t understand Lucia’s symptoms. Therefore, she was rather amazed when she found out a new fact.
It was rare but there were competent doctors who had seen symptoms similar to Lucia’s before.
“I have seen a woman who stopped menstruating because she ate something unknown during menstruation, however this is the first time I have seen someone in a long term infertile state from eating something…but have you gotten married?
Pregnancy can happen even if your period is irregular. It may not be infertility.”
But her period was not irregular; it never occurred. However, she had never tried to have a child before so couldn’t answer with certainty as to whether or not she was pregnant.
Then a more knowledgeable doctor came along and gave Lucia new information.
“A long time ago, when we lost the war and women were caught by the enemies, there was a story that they would eat mugwort on purpose to avoid having children for the enemy. It seems that they thought that if the menstrual cycle was stopped then naturally, it would serve as a form of birth control but it has been proven that mugwort has no effect on contraception.”
The doctor’s answer was pretty ambiguous. Lucia did not give up and in her spare time asked about any skilled doctors then visited them. But time had continued on and she was growing older.
She was about to give up. She was old enough and there was no discomfort in her life without her fertility so she was going to act like nothing had happened. Then one day, a wandering doctor chanced upon the town she lived in.
At first, none of the villagers believed the dirty old man’s claims that he was a doctor. However, as the doctor remained in the village and gave treatment, more people began to see the positive effect and were swayed to believing him.
Lucia went to visit the doctor since she had nothing to lose. The doctor was temporarily staying at a room that someone in the village had left, and just like when he first arrived, he was dressed shabbily.
However as they conversed, an image different from his outward appearance was revealed. His expression and manner of speaking were gentle and somewhat dignified.
“Did you really eat the mugwort herb? And then your menstruation stopped?”
When she told other doctors about her symptoms, they would look at her as some kind of rare animal which made her embarrassed but this doctor was different. He was both surprised and intrigued.
“Why? When? And to what extent did you eat it?”
Because he had a different reaction from all the doctors she had met till now, she grabbed onto one last hope and answered all his questions diligently.
“From my first menstruation onwards…” [Lucia]
Right after she said that, the doctor’s eyes strangely lit up.
“By any chance, are you a virgin?”
“No. I’ve been married before so I’m not a young maiden.”
Truthfully, she was pretty much like a virgin but she didn’t want to tell the doctor things to that extent.
The doctor was somewhat disappointed and gave a bitter laugh.
“In my eyes, you are a very young lady.”
“Is my condition infertility?”
“Yes.”
It was the same answer that all the previous doctors had given her but she was desperate.
“Can it…be treated?”
The doctor chuckled and guaranteed her treatment that no one else had been able to do.
“You are lucky person. This is a treatment method passed down in only my family.”
So he gave her a prescription containing various drugs to be mixed together. She didn’t write it down but took a book out of her bag, tore a page from it and gave it to him.
“Since it is a secret method passed down in your family, is it ok to give me this?”
“In any case, it’s not something I need anymore.”
The doctor’s expression as he said this seemed a little sad.
“I…Can I really get better? They all said mugwort herb is a poison.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe the doctor’s prescription but that she had gone through hardship to get it treated and yet here he was, giving her a simple solution. The situation itself was a bit unbelievable.
“Poison…yes, it is known as such. This is an exclusive but I’ll tell you something special. Mugwort has a surprising effect. It doesn’t just do something simple like stopping blood flow. If you eat it, it completely purifies the body. That is the reason why menstruation stops. But the human body itself is a mass of impurity, there is nothing good to forcibly purify. The effect of the herb is just that strong that such side effects occur but it does not harm your body. And apart from not having your period, you haven’t gotten sick anywhere else, right?”
“Yes.”
“And truthfully, to become infertile from eating mugwort, you have to have been eating it for a long time, like from your first period onwards. Just like you. If you haven’t been taking it for that long, even if your menstruation stops for a while, there are no other symptoms.
And infertility definitely will not happen. But, people treat it as a poison because of its only symptom, which is to stop menstrual flow. Anyways, because it is not poison, if you weaken the effect of the herb, your body will return to its original state. If you regularly take your medicine, it will surely get better. I hope for you to have a pretty child and become a happy parent. ”
Not too long after, the doctor left the village. Unlike when the doctor first came to the village, the villagers were truly sorry to see him go.
Lucia went ahead and bought herbs that had been prescribed by the doctor.
“Why are buying these two herbs together? Surely, you aren’t planning on mixing them together? If you eat them together, you’ll have a huge problem!”
The prescription combinations that the doctor gave her didn’t seem to be one that complied with commonsense. However, Lucia didn’t think she could get worse and she was curious anyways so she followed his directions and started to make the medicine.
As long as no abnormality happens, once a month, steadily take the medicine until menstruation starts again; how to eat and how frequent was easy to know. She did wonder if it would actually work but then she shook her head and chose to believe it.
A lot of time passed and suddenly one day, her menstruation restarted.
***
Now the Lucia who had seen all this in a dream was not embarrassed like her 15 year old self from the dream. She already knew that she wasn’t sick and was not going to die.
However the 15 year old Lucia was mentally unstable for a reason different from the one in the dream. She had thought that she could change anything in the present since she knew the future however there was nothing that a young princess, locked up in a palace room could do.
It felt like a prophecy that the coming future would be exactly like the dream. The thought of getting married to the count at 21 again was extremely sickening and she couldn’t bear it. Her fears reached its climax as soon as her menstruation started.
‘I do not want to give birth to that bastard’s child.’
She already knew that getting pregnant was surprisingly not very easy. There were many married couples that had no children. Moreover, considering Count Matin’s sexual capability there was almost no possibility of her getting pregnant. However, she didn’t want to let the slightest possibility remain.
So, she chose to make herself infertile. The doctor she met in the dream had told her that the mugwort herb was not poisonous and the treatment method that she had received remained in her memory.
Since she could treat at any time with the medicine, there was not really any worry if she was currently infertile.
Lucia could cure her infertility at any moment but she had already told Hugo that she could not get pregnant and would not suddenly tell him that she could.
‘At that time… I had thought I would get divorced…’
When she proposed marriage, she had thought that they would live together for a few years then he would ask for a divorce or after a reasonable amount of time, she would ask herself. However,
‘I won’t do something like divorce.’
Even if he did not mention the family tradition, he was the kind of person that would not proceed with the divorce process because it was annoying. She didn’t know if there was another woman who loved him to death and wanted to marry him by all means but it didn’t look like that was possible.
‘I already said I wouldn’t regret this…I made up my mind to endure.’
There was going to be no child in her life. The moment she signed the marriage certificate, she was already prepared.
[I hope for you to have a pretty child and become a happy parent.]
It would seem that whether it was the dream or the present, the doctor’s wish would not be fulfilled. Lucia dug into her memories for the doctor’s name.
“Philip.”
Right. That was his name.
***
It was afternoon and as usual, Jerome brought tea and quietly entered the Duke’s office. Because it was obvious who was coming in, Hugo didn’t take his eyes of his documents. But as Jerome didn’t go back and kept standing by the desk, Hugo raised his head.
When the Duke’s eyes left the documents and faced him, Jerome opened his mouth.
“Your Grace, Madam is planning to have a tea party tomorrow.”
“Yes. I’ve heard.”
“Since it is her Grace’s first time, what do you think of sending a congratulatory gift?”
“Gift?”
He gave a low ‘hmm’ and mumbled, lowering his pen and sitting more comfortably in his chair.
“A gift, huh.” [Hugo]
“Yes. Her Grace will be extremely pleased.”
Now that he thought about it, he didn’t have anything to give her. He was not the type to easily know when to give gifts but if he was told to get this and that, he could. But she didn’t tell him what to get and he didn’t know what she would like and couldn’t think of what to give her.
Is it enough to make the budget plentiful?
She didn’t ask him to give her anything but as it was her first time debuting in the northern social circles, it was enough reason. If she receives a gift that she could never imagine, would she like it?
When he thought of her sparkling eyes as she expressed her thanks, his mood somehow grew merrier.
What would be good? Jewelry? Or maybe…jewelry? If that didn’t work…then jewelry? Jewelry was the only thing that he could think of. He was sure that women like jewelry however strangely, he wasn’t too sure that Lucia liked them.
While his worries were deepening, Jerome was patiently waiting for his master’s answer. Jerome’s ear picked up the sound of a soft knock at the door. In order not to disrupt his master’s thought, Jerome left quietly then came back after a while.
“Your Grace, Sir Philip has arrived and is outside. He said he hasn’t returned in Roam in a long time and wants to give his greetings to your Grace.”
