Three days later.
As the Grand Duchess's car once again entered the grounds of the Count's residence, she spotted the three beautifully decorated Christmas trees in the yard through the car window.
She had rushed here as there was a meeting scheduled for the afternoon. Now, it was growing late into the evening.
Looking at the beautifully lit Christmas tree and the newly decorated castle, the Grand Duchess almost felt like she was in the wrong place.
"It's so beautiful!"
Judy remarked, her face filled with admiration.
Able to regain composure from the surprise, the Grand Duchess stepped out of the car and slowly looked around.
She rested her gaze on the twinkling lights for a good while, and a subtle brightness could be seen in her deep blue eyes.
After a while, she took a deep breath and turned to climb the steps.
When she stepped into the light of the living room, the expression on the Grand Duchess's face had already returned to its usual seriousness.
