The light of the sun was blocked by the parasol in my hands. Like an attendant, I walked next to Lady Sophia while shading her from the sun in the garden of the Dienin Castle.
"Isn't it custom to greet the owner of the house first and last, Lord Eugene?"
"If he has any problems he'll come say it to our faces, lady Sophia."
"Ahaha, you don't grow any less bold." Sophia shifted her to see the flowers below. She lightly ducked and picked out a beautiful red flower, much like her hair. "It's a shame I couldn't eat the food you cook."
"I'll be coming to listen to your cello, I'll bring some over then."
"That's a promise then."
Lady Sophia smiled and covered her lips. I couldn't see her face, but I was sensitive to this girl after being around her for longer than a week.
Her movements were stiff, her muscles were tightened, her fists were clenched.
She saw me that day.
She saw me.
