Chapter 7 - The Letter

POV DIANA ROSS

Weeks passed, and I could not understand this feeling within me. I tried my best to finish the schedule early enough for me to avoid Lord Frederick.

"It's not a big deal, it's not as if something occurred between us besides, it's just a hug and we are all matured", I thought trying to console myself.

"Diana,fetch me some towels please". Lord Fredrick said jerking me back to reality.

"Ok, My Lord". I responded

Main while, his relatives were gone except for grandma and grandpa who were checking on the family business to make sure everything was going well before leaving.

On my way to the laundry room, Lucky ran to me wagging it's tail cheerfully. Poor dog I thought, he must have missed our usual walk.

"Am sorry Lucky, I've been busy lately. I promise to give you a walk tomorrow and we would spend time together in the field and in the garden. At least, I will pay back for the time I've not taking you for a walk" I said parting his head playfully.

Lucky continued wagging it's tail excited by what I said. He then ran out of the room .

I at once recalled that I was sent, I hurriedly fetched the towels and went to give him.

"My Lord, I've brought the towels. Can I come in?" I asked after knocking at his door.

"Yes, you may come in", he responded.

Gently, I opened the door and went inside. The room was sort of dark and I wasn't able to really able to see him, I tried to locate the bed. As soon as I located the bed, I immediately kept the towels on the bed and with hasten steps, left the room.

When I got out of the room, I could finally breath at last. With heavy strides, I went downstairs to get Lunch for Lord Frederick. I got to the kitchen, and was about dishing out his usual potion before his grandma stepped in.

"Go tell my child we will be having Lunch together,he should come downstairs", She said to me.

"I will relay your message to him My Lady", I replied her with a slight bow before I left.

Main while, Lord Frederick was out for his usual horse riding exercise with Louis. I went upstairs to his room but could not find him, at once I recalled, he's scheduled for that time.

Hurriedly, I went to the field although I was scared of the previous accident. I stood from a distance and for a second was lost in admiration of Lord Fredericks body for yet another time. I immediately recalled why I was here in the first place.

"My Lord, Her Lady request you be in attendance for lunch", I screamed at the top of my voice, so he could hear me despite the noise from the galloping of the horse.

Although I had to repeat myself twice before he could notice my presence, as soon as I was done passing the message, I immediately left for the castle. I got to my room and was bored.

Thought of the countryside started to flash before my eyes, I wept bitterly at the thoughts of missing my mother. I stood up from the bed, decided to take Lucky for a walk in the garden so I can be able to clear my mind and also write a letter to my mother as I had promised to do.

On getting to the garden, I found my usual place and sat down while Lucky also sat down at my feet. I took out the paper and pen I brought with me to write the letter, as I wrote, tears kept on dropping from my eyes.

Where do I start from I asked myself? As I was confused about what to write since many things had occurred. Dear Mum I began....

"it's been a while, am sorry I have not been able to write to you since I got here. I hope you've been fine and you're also taking your meds? I've actually been doing well. You know how I've always loved to have a dog, actually I won't say I've got one but it's more like it. Lucky it is "my dog". His lively and he always keeps me company. My master is treating me well, and everyone in the castle love and treat me well. There isn't any much difference between the castle and the countryside. They've got a garden just like my "nature blest", and a field. When I can, I do spend my time at the field and the garden with Lucky. I could go on and on mum, I love you mom, and I hope to hear from you soon. With love, Diana".

As soon as I was done, I stood up it was almost dusk and I've got a lot to do. We raced back to the castle, after which I took dinner for Lord Frederick.

As soon as I was done, I hurriedly took the letter to the servant in charge of mailing the letters leaving the castle.

"It's not due for the servants to mail there letters, you will have to wait till next week" he said with all seriousness.

I was disappointed and because I've spent two months and three weeks without checking on my mom. I immediately felt like a bad daughter, if I am to wait for a week again, it will be three months.

"You can mail her's before the usual date", A familiar muscular voice said. I immediately turned around to check who came to my rescue...
