The summer had ended and the chill of autumn came instantly, sending shivers down to the skin. The temperature dropped easily on this hill, which was Aster's favorite time of the year. The leaves around the garden started showing yellow-greyish color and some of them started falling.
Some flowers wilted. Fortunately, the duchy had planted a few flowers in pots and placed it inside the mansion. Thus, Aster could still enjoy some of his favorite flowers even during autumn and winter.
It was around nine o'clock in the morning, Aster strolled around the garden as he waited for his mother to rest. She had to attend a tea party held by the Duchess of Silvore the night before. Since Grand Duchess was an honorable guest, she had the obligation to come. Or else, the Empress would scorn her by missing out on this tea party and she would refer to the Grand Duchess as an arrogant woman.
'I wonder, why does Aunty have enmity to my mother?'
