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
Sharon did feel guilty for her actions.It's not that she wanted to deliberately ignore Seraphine; it's just that things end up being like this although she tries to pay attention to Seraphine."I am sorry," Sharon voiced out, extending her hand towards Seraphine and pulling her into a hug.Seraphine scoffed. "Is there any use in being sorry when you are going to repeat these actions in the future?"Seraphine clicked her tongue.Seraphine sighed. Was being with that silent Eugene better than her? The two of them literally grew up together yet they were too sticky.Truly, Seraphine didn't understand how the brain process of the couples worked."I will try my best to improve; I assure you that," Sharon vocalised."I get it, I get it," Seraphine replied, "If I continue with this, I will look like the
This did make Seraphine happy, considering how Sharon in the novel had no one to rely on.There was certainly fear inside Seraphine that slowly she will be drifting away from Sharon, but she was aware that was foolish. The bond she had with Sharon was beyond friendship.As they went outside, Seraphine noticed how the ladies gathered under the shade. While having some snacks, they discussed on recent affairs while gazing at their surrounding at times.Seraphine moved over with Scarlett and Sharon to take a seat there. While Sharon got into a conversation— even Scarlett had small talks here and there— Seraphine wore a pout on her face while she stared at the men.They were indeed lucky.If only her gender was different, she wouldn't have to sit here, bored and envious. Seraphine bit on the biscuit in her hand while she thought that.Just when
