Only with Your Heart

Mistress of the castle (2)

On her way back to the room, Chizuru stopped by the castle hall.

Since it was nearly breakfast time, she could smell the rich and appetizing scent just by standing near the entrance.

Perhaps due to sending Lady Exia off this morning, the servants looked busier than usual.

Good morning, Chizuru-sama. The weather is much better today!

One of the female chefs noticed Chizuru and bowed her head respectfully while wiping her hands on her stained apron.

Following that incident, the rest of the knights and servants approached Chizuru one after another and offered their greeting while exchanging light conversations.

Chizuru tried to answer each andevery one of them properly.

Until now, the residents of this castle had never interacted with Chizuru.

It was probably because Lukrov kept his gaze on her at all times, but even so, she felt that the atmosphere was a little different this morning

She wondered if she was now because she was accepted as one of them rather than the treatment of theLords important guest.

Everyone is convinced that Chizuru would become the mistress of this castle now. That dress looks great on you too.

Arde smiled proudly, pointing at the dress that was tailored to match the Lukrovs flag.

Oh, I guess so

Although she was just praised for the dress, Chizuru was happier about being praised as the new mistress of the castle and started to blush.

From now on

From now on, Chizuru was really going to marry Lukrov.

Finally, after a year and a few months 14 years ago for Lukrov .

Although her heart was prepared for what was coming, she was overwhelmed by indescribable excitement.

If she entered the dining room now, she would be served hot breakfast right away, but she decided to wait for Lukrovs return in his room and have breakfast together with him.

It should not take long before he came back, and it would be lonely if she had to sit alone on the top seat. Additionally, Roan would not wake up for at least an hour.

In times of peace, such as now, Roan usually slept in. It was common for aristocrats such as himself.

Arde, you can go eat first. Im going back straight to my room.

Really? I would like to help

Its okay. You must be hungry as we woke up early in the morning, right? You can come after you finish eating.

As Chizuru smiled brightly, Arde sighed, bowed her head and went into the dining room. After seeing Ardes back, Chizuru took a deep breath.

At last, Lady Exia was on her way home.

From now on, it was time to begin the preparations for the wedding. She had to start preparing the dress, decorations for ceremonies and sort out the invitations.

Since her husband-to-be Lukrov had the status of a duke, as well as the lord of a castle, although they didnt intend to have a big ceremony, it also shouldnt be a small wedding with just the two of them.

I want to invite Roan, his wife, his children, and of course, the residents of the castle as well. I hope everyone will have fun.

Chizuru thought to herself while walking in the corridor, heading to her room.

Is there a flower shop in the castle town? I want to decorate the place where the ceremonys held with lots of flowers, preferably white flowers.

The dress will be simple and nice, but it should also look elegant. Should the people of the castle town participate as well? I wonder if the people at Roans welcome party would join as well ?

Chizuru was lost in her thoughts and was walking with her eyes cast on the floor.

When she finally reached the stairs to head up, she bumped into a big black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of her.

She was shocked and took a step back, then she raised her face, and her gaze went straight to the person in front of her.
