Clara, Claire, and Carina get embarrassed when they realized I'm sitting there and watch their excitement silently.
"Sorry Henry, we carried away and forget our job to clean up here"
"It's alright, girls, I also enjoy the views first when I visit the watchtower this morning. If you still want to see more, just go ahead. Look until your heart content, my father and late mother also used to see the scenery from here"
"No no…We've seen enough and now it's time to work"
"If you said so then let's work"
We start to clean up the room by removing the dust first from the furniture in the room. After that, Claire sweep the floor with the broom, while Clara and Carina clean the remaining dust from furniture with wet clothes. I noticed that Clara and Claire sometimes steal a glance at me when we do cleanup, which makes me curious. Is this something wrong with my clothes or is there something in my face?
"Clara…what's up?"
I ask her directly when I caught her take a glance at me again
"Nothing Henry…nothing"
She tries to avoid direct eye contact with me but with her face that becomes a little red make me believe there's must be something that maybe she too shy to tell me.
"Really?....really nothing? Nothing wrong with my clothes or maybe there's something in my face?"
I shift my position so I can see her eyes directly.
"Actually….."
"Yes?"
"I feel like we are like newlywed couples that move to their new home"
Ah…I understand now. There's a habit for a new couple that just married to move to their own house, separated from their parents. But this habit only did by the couple that able to afford to buy a house for their own. Some couples who financially weak, stay with their parent until they able to have a house for their own.
"Oh….but I will not move to a new house when I married thou. I must inherit this castle from my father and live with my wives here"
"I know Henry…I'm just imagining if we're only ordinary people and just married, move to our new house. And clean up the new house to make it comfortable to live with"
"Hmm…you can imagine, every morning you stand in the door still, wave to your husband who goes to work in the morning too"
"Mmm…but my future husband is not going out to work, instead he had people work for him"
I grinning widely when hearing what she said. There's nothing wrong with what she said because I will be the leader not the worker of any business that I made later.
"That is a far insight that you have, Clara. Then what you and your future husband will do in the morning?"
"Hmm…maybe we hug each other in the bed, having romantic time before going to bath. After taking a bath we go to the kitchen and we make something delicious for breakfast and eat breakfast together"
"It sounds nice. I hope you can have it in the future Clara"
"If Henry said so, I believe I can have it too"
Clara smile full of meaning because she knows that I can fulfill her wishes. Carina who overheard our conversation butt in
"Sister Clara…are you going to marry?"
"Every girl will marry one day…but I'm not married yet…not in this near future, Carina"
"Who do you will marry with? I never see you dating with a man before"
"It's a secret….you will know when I get married later"
"Ugh…sister Clara's stingy, why you don't share your secret with your sister?"
"Because a secret makes a woman, woman"
After saying that, Clara laughing because she succeeds to tease Carina. Since I feel it will be dangerous if I stay any longer in here, I excuse myself to leave the Watchtower first.
"Girls, I still have other matters to do, can I leave this place to you?"
"Sure, no problem Henry"
"If you finish with cleanup and want to leave, don't forget to close the windows"
"We will"
"And after dinner, I want to see the result of your singing and music practice"
"You will not disappoint Henry"
Since my business here is done, I can move to the next business, modify the underwear.
