Kayden did not change his attitude towards Seraphine despite all that he had heard, and Seraphine appreciated this part about him.
Just like she had said to him, he considered this to be a story and took everything with a grain of salt. Other than the important details, Seraphine did not think he would bother to keep the rest in his mind.
Seraphine yawned as she stretched her arms and went outside of the carriage. Everyone was resting currently at an Inn at Hedia, and later on, they could head towards the academy.
The thought of being able to surprise Sharon and Eugene caused Seraphine to feel enthusiastic.
As Seraphine went downstairs with Kayden to have breakfast, she questioned, "By the way, do you know any good places for meals around here?"
Kayden nodded and answered, "I asked earlier, and there is a restaurant nearby."
"As expected from you, Kayden, you
This response did not shock Seraphine since she was well aware on how slow Eugene was at sending letters.Unlike Sharon and her who shared letters frequently, she would receive letters from Eugene one after three to four months although she sent him at least two letters a month.And even those rarely sent letters had any content in them; only important details were mentioned. They were all concise and straight to the point, making Seraphine feel as if she was reading a report for a subject rather than a letter.That's why, such an answer might be considered to be a lame excuse when it came from someone else, but when it came to Eugene, she knew it was the truth.Seraphine was sure he wrote half of the letter and then forgot about the rest. Only after she pestered him enough would he be willing to finish the rest.Seraphine let out a deep breath."I can'
The entire time passed by with Seraphine and Scarlett trying to come up with multiple strategies. The more Seraphine heard Scarlett speak, more talented and confident she sounded.She didn't show any more nervousness towards Seraphine and openly brought forward her ideas. Seraphine appreciated that about her and happily listened to all that Scarlett had to say.As they were discussing this, time passed by easily for Seraphine without her having to notice anything. Seeing how it was already evening, Seraphine knew it was time for both of them to head home already.When they were about to part, Seraphine turned to face Scarlett and winked at her while expressing, "You know, Lady Scarlett, you can feel free to tell me if you want to stay over at my place any time. You see, I do enjoy bringing my friends home."Scarlett clearly understood what Seraphine was trying to imply through those words of hers, an
Today was the day Eugene returned from Hedia, and Seraphine was quite excited to meet him. The entire day she moved around the mansion, handling various affairs for her brother's return.Seraphine had his room prepared, and after learning from Sharon the names, Seraphine had all of his favorite food made.Then, she recalled his recent obsession with flowers, and as she had given him her word, she had them ordered once she heard from him his favourite flowers.Lyle didn't care much about the garden as long as it looked pretty. As for Clayton, he couldn't care less about flowers; he didn't think they suited his image regardless of how pretty they were.Seraphine, on the other hand, did find the flowers pretty and was fond of watching them. But that's just what it was. She didn't care about tending the flowers or having a variety of them.Seeing the large and beautiful garden in fro
Kayden noticed the intense reaction Seraphine displayed, and a frown appeared. Immediately, he moved closer to Seraphine and clutched on to her arms in order to calm herself down.However, Seraphine did not react to his touches. He started to then pat on her back and began to whisper how it would be alright.Kayden didn't understand whether or not was it his misconception, but it seemed that Seraphine had shown the reaction towards the beast's name.After a while, Seraphine managed to compose herself, and her rapid heartbeats began to slow down. Kayden used his handkerchief to wipe away the sweat from her forehead prior to questioning, "Are you alright?"Seraphine moved away from Kayden and nodded her head."I am sorry; I don't know what came over me. It's just that I heard the name of the bird, and I reacted this intensely," Seraphine explained."Name of the
"By the way, Lady Scarlett, you should take a break. You look seriously bad. I don't want to have the reputation of working my employees to death." Seraphine wasn't joking when she mentioned it. Scarlett had dark circles under her eyes, and her features were pale. It did seem as if she had lost a huge amount of weight during this period of time. This made Seraphine wonder whether or not she had put a huge burden on Scarlett's shoulder. As much as Seraphine wanted to lend her a hand, she was ashamed to mention that there was barely anything she was able to do. One thing that is prominent about Scarlett was that she was a perfectionist. Because of this nature of Scarlett, she worked more than the ordinary people. On top of that, since the shop was already become this popular within a short period of time did indicate the amount of effort she put in. Scarlett was indeed a
The two day hunting competition would be held after three days, and Seraphine was really excited about it because she would finally be able to attend.This hunting competition is held by the Royal Family, and only a selected few noble families are able to attend. There is an age limit.Because of this, Seraphine wasn't able to go in previous years, making this her first time.What Seraphine was enthusiastic about was to try hunting, and due to this, she polished her archery skills throughout this time. In the end, she had to admit that her skills for archery were not too shabby.However, at the very last moment, both her brothers were fervently against it. She was already prone to trouble as it is. What would happen if she went to hunt in the forest?Seraphine's brothers were too overprotective, and she wanted to argue with them on how she couldn't always be protected.&nb
The territory selected for hunting was quite far from the capital, and throughout the carriage ride, Seraphine stared out of the window enthusiastically.A bright smile was present on her face while she did it.A little while earlier she questioned Clayton on what all fun activities could be done during hunting, and seeing how he was starting to get irritated by her constant questioning, she was sensible enough to quieten down.It did make sense for her to be this elated. Thinking about it, in her previous life, it was impossible to get involved with such activities, and indeed, in the school, she had participated in tasks which made her hunt down animals.But the feeling wasn't similar to this."Brother Clayton, how long?" Seraphine asked for the nth time.Clayton sighed, running his hand through his hair. He really regretted getting on the same carriage. Ce
"That's because I want to remain inconspicuous," Seraphine responded, "Knowing you, you will be hunting down a large number of prey.I am sure you wouldn't want to choose any other Lady and make it problematic. That's why, isn't Scarlett the best choice?"It seemed that Clayton was still hesitant."Just agree to it," Seraphine urged, "In any case, Scarlett is the most important employee at my store, and you are my favourite brother. No harm is done in both of you getting closer."Clayton didn't understand how these two correlated, but seeing how Seraphine was persistent in this matter, he didn't have the heart to turn her down. Once again, he blamed himself for being so soft to her.A groan escaped from his mouth while he vocalised, "Whatever, fine, I will do that. This is annoying. I swear if any trouble pops up after this—"Seraphi
