"Milady, a letter from Miss Adele sent a letter for you," George said as soon as we t each other in the front yard.
This was the second ti that he told that I have letters. One was earlier in my room where Gwen apparently invited to co and visit her. After that, I had changed into a new dress and now I am about to leave.
"Hmm?"
'From Adele?'
"A courier ca earlier and had only just left," he added.
"Let see," I said and took the letter from him. With a quick look, I already get the gist of the letter. Though it's not like it's long either, it's actually quite brief and concise.
Basically, she's asking if I have so new designs, and if I want to publicize them. If not for the customary complintary, I'll bet my everything that Adele can put everything in one sentence. Just straight up ask without sugar-coating it, you know that kind of stuff.
Also, when I read her letter, it dawned on that I do have sothing else to do after all. Now that I think of it, I could have been productive and created tons of dress designs so I can be richer than now. Why did I forget about my job?
I guess I'll just have to do them later.
"Alright," I mumbled and gave the envelope to Amy who already knows what to do with it.
Uno then helped climb inside with Kuro imdiately getting in after . He obviously shrank his size down so he can fit because we all know how humongous this fox is.
"Have a safe trip, milady," George and the others said as they all bowed while our carriage rolled out.
"I wonder how that woman is faring right now."
I couldn't help but mumble, staring at the scenery outside the window that I had already familiarized with for all these years. This ti though, I am currently going to the Ethalion residence, where I have never been to so it will be an entirely new scenery. Am I looking forward to it? Hmmm… maybe a little bit?
Well, okay. I am actually more curious than the gossip I'll hear between them than seeing the mansion. I an… The two have been an item for far longer than I can rember and during those days, both of them were strange. They don't talk much, nor interact much, even though I could see that sothing is going on there.
And now that Gwen is living with him in the sa house, they must be fine now, right? There must be improvents! I swear to the heavens, I'm more digested in their love life than my own, which is nonexistent, thank you very much.
It was a long ride, and as expected, I was bored all through it. I have nothing to do other than sit there and look outside. It would be hella better if there's such a great view but all I see are empty lands and tall trees which are nothing short of ordinary to my eyes. After all, there's a literal forest just on the borders of our territory where we sotis hunt.
I was feeling sleepy the whole ride and if not for Kuro with , I probably did fall asleep.
"We have reached the Ethalion property, milady," Uno inford through the small window.
"Oh, thank Luminus…" I mumbled and started stretching my poor back.
Sitting in a carriage for hours is not really a fun ride, even if I have the softest cushion out there.
I looked outside and stared at the looming mansion in the distance, and that's when I started feeling excited. I'm basically stepping on new land and just from seeing the huge mansion personally, my curiosity is practically jumping up and down.
A group of maidservants was waiting for us at the front as our carriage rolled closer. We halted to a stop, Uno got down and opened the door for to climb down. A tall man in his mid-forties, wearing a suit, stepped forward, a hand on his torso, and smiled.
"Lady Nadia. The lady is waiting for you inside," he said.
He must be the butler…
"Lead the way," I retorted with a warm smile on my own.
I followed after him, with Uno, of course. I was so used to not bringing a maid these days that I forgot to bring Erin to accompany . Oh, well… It's not like it's mandatory to have one all the ti.
The butler led us towards the west part of the house and stopped at a door. He then knocked twice and after a short mont, it was opened by a maid. Upon seeing who we are, she imdiately stepped aside to let us in. The butler didn't co with us and had remained outside.
"Nadia," Gwen was already standing when we ca in and with a welcoming smile to boot.
"Hey," I greeted her and took a seat in front of her.
As soon as we're face to face with only a table between us, Gwen started making tea like it's natural. It made blink in surprise but I didn't dare say a comnt on it. It's just that, Gwen doesn't really do these kinds of things and just leaves it to people around her. Like when we hung out in the Riviere household, her personal maid would be the one serving us.
'Hohh…'
"Thank you," I mumbled as I accepted the cup she sent to .
As I drank the tea, I was silently observing her, taking note of all the things that I find new and different. Yeah, because she really is different. Even her movents are noticeably graceful now more than before. Her overall aura also has changed, it's more-- how do I describe it… quiet? Calm?
And what a shock it was for . I an, Gwen? Calm? The friend I had known for three long years is loud and very bubbly. She's acting a little similar to Bea now and I couldn't believe my eyes.
How long has it been since we last saw each other? Not that long, am I right? How can a person change so much in a short span of ti?
'I see… Her training must have been really strict or sothing…'
Gwen glanced at the maid behind her, it was Hilda, her personal attendant. So she brought her maid along when she ca here for a couple of months.
Afterward, she then let out one big sigh that was so her.
"Aaaahhh… I'm so glad you ca, Nadia!" she squealed while looking at with sparkling eyes.
'This… this is the Gwen I know…'
"Hmm? What? You missed that much?" I remarked with a playful grin on my lips.
"I didn't. I'm just glad that I can now finally have a breather," she grumbled while elegantly drinking her tea.
I did say that it's the sa woman that I know, right? But for serious though, she really did change. Even after acting like a pouting child right now, she actually does exude grace. There's still a calm air around her and she seed to bloom like a grown woman now.
Wow… I'm kinda jealous.
