Chapter 147: Blooming Doubt (2)

NICHOLAE WOKE up that day feeling a little bit nervous, for whatever reason, and felt the need to think for a moment before doing his daily routine.

That day is the day he will visit the palace once again, after a long while of not doing so, and meeting Alesteria for the first time in four years or ever since he inherited the dukedom.

At the moment, Nicholae stood in front of the huge window in the duke's office, which is his now, as the door opened and entered a maid in black uniform pushing a trolley inside.

The trolley consists of just a teacup and teapot, a few small jars of honey, sugar, and coco sugar.

Nicholae didn't bother to turn around and face the maid as she did her job with a steady hand, but she was nervous on the inside due to Nicholae's overwhelming aura.

The maid did her best, at least, and placed a cup of a lukewarm tea in a clean place on the opposite side of the pile of documents in his table.

"Here is your tea, master." She said as she lowers her head after.
