the rose is encased in a layer of frost. she laughs through her tears and thinks that perhaps it will bloom again in the spring — when she is long gone and this tragedy is nothing but a memory.

“ 𝐚h﹗please pardon my interruption. you see, my knight is busy, and i⠀...⠀” ⠀there's a moment of doubt, carried by embarrassment. shuli awkwardly scratches her cheek with a finger.⠀“ ...⠀can't seem to reach a book. ”

His pale blue irises had lifted from the document, and he rested his gaze on hers; he hadn't noticed there was anyone else in the library.

"Milady, do you need any help?" he asked calmly as he closed the folder.

⠀“ 𝐞xcuse me ... ” her voice is quiet, small. she somehow feels bad to interrupt him during such an important reading.

Reading some old documents from the archive in library.. even though his mind is elsewhere.

He hadn't noticed that the ( 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 ). was here.

to hear someone wanted to actually get to know her seemed like a dream. shuli smiled, nodding.

“ yes! me too. i'll send a carriage to pick you up at noon, i'll go back to the manor to prepare everything. ”

the comment caught her off-guard. shuli smiled, a somber aura over her. maybe the duke wasn't aware of her image since he wasn't one to meddle in nobility gossip. “ duke van omerta, you haven't gotten engaged yet, right? ” she asked. “ i'm a widow ... ” then added.

she's right,he doesn't know why he got so angry..his squires can get extra training as a punishment though because he hasn't forgiven them yet.

" you're correct,we are still young after all to be bothered ".

shuli took a look around. it was truly a beautiful sight, one that spoke of love. she nodded. “ i can tell a lot of care was put onto this greenhouse. ” the voice came soft, overlapping with the distant laughter of the children. “ i almost envy it! ” she then laughed.

doll-like face still carried a smile,she appreciated hearing such kind words as she placed her tea cup down on the table slowly.

" despite the cold climate here,it can be splendid sometimes especially with the greenhouse my cousin built here,for his wife "she replied gently.

that much she could see. the duke was a stiff man with a warm heart. “ i'm glad to know motherhood hasn't consumed me yet, then. ” she added with a fresh laugh, covering her mouth. “ let's not sulk after being called old, then! we're too young for that. ”

i appreciate your words milady,do forgive me if I might sound rusty but I believe the marchioness is pretty as well ( he's not used to complementing women 💧,well..perhaps his wife only ).
