That feeling was very strange, creeping up from the nape of her neck with a very confusing feeling, and the feeling was not at all uncomfortable.
"You mean I became Noah's wife?" Kiara said it right away. She forgot how exactly this happened. Her own behavior has made her trapped in the relationship.
"Yes, most likely, Lady Kiara. We never saw Duke really care about anyone, let alone a woman."
"The Duke has always ignored a woman. Whenever a woman tries to get close to the Duke, the Duke will leave them without saying anything. It's very different from the Duke's attitude towards you, Lady Kiara."
"It's not that it's an ordinary attitude towards guests?" Kiara refused everything said by Selma. She just wanted to live a quiet life. She had also told Noah to find a way so that she could return to her world. It is indeed luxurious here, but it is more comfortable in her own world because she feels at ease. Although there are full of sickening capitalists.
"The Duke is not that friendly, lady. Even you call duke's real name casually. No one calls the Duke by his own name."
Kiara directly held her lips, she felt that she had crossed the line because it was Noah who allowed to call his name. She didn't know and tried to relax when encountering this situation she didn't expect.
The more Selma opened her mouth, it made Kiara even more dizzy. Finally she raised his hand, stopping Selma's mouth from opening. It's better to calm down. She wants all that information to stop. She must maintain her sanity. Even though she thought that she was actually hallucinating, she was afraid that she had been caught in the madness she had made herself.
When she opened her eyes, she had suddenly been in a mental hospital. It was severe as hell.
"I want to rest, Selma."
Selma observed Kiara, the fire that lived in the fireplace was reflected from Selma's eyes, making those eyes seem to be burning and not wanting to let Kiara go. When a smile appeared on Selma's face, Kiara felt goose bumps all over.
"Alright. If you need anything, you can call me."
Selma lowered her head, showing her best respectful attitude towards Kiara, after she disappeared from behind a large dark brown wooden door—Kiara's bedroom door, Kiara could only breathe quite a sigh of relief.
"I became Noah's wife...? Not.. what about Arlo?"
Kiara talks to herself while remembering Arlo's face. She is the man she has been in a relationship with for these seven months. Noah is indeed handsome, so handsome that she feels scared by herself that this is not real. She didn't know Noah either. Her love for Arlo was still so obvious. And Kiara maintained that within her, as a restraint of her sanity.
Kiara looked out the window for only a few seconds, then she climbed onto her mattress, pulled the blanket and completely closed her eyes so she could rest comfortably.

The fire moved in the wind. The temperature that the fire created was very fitting for the woman who fell asleep on the mattress.
Either it had been several times that Selma had come in to see the flames. She didn't want the lady she served to get sick. It will get her into trouble. Kiara is also a wonderful lady, she enjoys serving Kiara.
As she walks out of Kiara's room, a man in a coat meets her. Selma lowered her head and just passed by.
Noah stood in front of the sleeping Kiara. He looked at Kiara's sweet face and smiled slightly. Garder, who was behind Noah, observed, she was one of the witnesses of the extraordinary incident.
If the woman is satisfactory enough for the master, then she will be very satisfied with it.
Noah bent his body, his black gloved fingertips touching Kiara's smooth cheeks.
"Get a good night's sleep, Kiara. Tomorrow we root meet again."
Kiara's eyes flickered at the moment. She saw Noah faintly, but the touch of Noah's finger on her eyelids had successfully closed her eyes back, making her fall asleep like a baby in her mother's cradle.

Srek! Srek!
The sound of the curtains opening very strongly. The morning sunlight had nodded Kiara's sleep. Kiara moved her eyes a few times and finally she woke up, realizing that the morning had come with the day as usual.
She saw Selma who brought her a basin of warm water to wash his face.
"Morning, Lady Kiara. Your wake-up face looks so sweet."
Kiara immediately saw an enormous mirror reflecting her reflection. Come on, she is like a rabbit stung by a bee company. She looks swollen everywhere, let alone her hair is messy. She is far from a sweet word.
The basin of water was under Selma nearby, with slightly forward lips. Kiara refused the praise given by Selma.
"Don't over-praise me, Selma. People can laugh because of it."
Daisy looked at Kiara, who was washing her face gently in the warm water she gave her.
"Who's going to laugh, lady? They must be blind."
[You're the blind one, Selma... this makes me embarrassed...]
Kiara ignored Selma. She took the small towel that Selma handed her over and wiped her face slowly. The warm water made her a little more comfortable, she felt that her face was not as crooked as before.
"Today you have to have breakfast alone, lady."
Daisy lifted the basin, moving to another place while clearing up the little mess that Kiara had just caused.
"Why?" usually Noah always had breakfast with him, or Noah would come to his room. Then they walked together, which made it clumsy.
"Duke has a sudden business. He's not here, lady."
[So, what I saw last night was a dream...? Yes, it must be a dream.]
Kiara finally stood up, holding her head. Sleeping made her energy good. When she looked at the window, it snowed slowly.
[Ah, if I'm sent to a world, at least send me to spring only.]
Kiara complained that the snow kept her confined to this place.
