(POV: Lumiere)
We stood in the hallway, engrossed in our conversation, the sound of footsteps interrupted our discussion. I turned to see Lucilia, the elegant blonde maiden of the Delia Viscounty, walking towards us. A warm smile adorned her face as she greeted us, "Oh, there you are! I've been looking for you."
Returning her smile, I replied, "Good morning, Lucilia. I just woke up a little while ago."
Of course, after waking up I needed to have a little fun with Serena.
Lucilia sighed, her eyes filled with concern, before brushing a lock of her golden hair behind her ear. "You really need to take better care of yourself, Lumiere," she advised, her voice gentle but firm.
Take care of myself? I thought.
Wasn't that what I'd been doing all this time?
Honestly...
"But for now, let's focus on starting the development of the Viscounty as soon as possible."
I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
