"I'm Malcolm Fisworth, it's good to see you again, lady Eloise Ophelia," he said
I just look at his hands and said, "It's pleasure to meet you" and smiled at him
"So, what book would you like to purchase? Don't worry, my lady, it's on me, you don't have to pay."
"How peculiar, you just introduce yourself to me and now you're giving me free stuff from this place. Thank you but no thanks. There's nothing wrong with it but you must've forgotten my status as a noble lady in the ducal's place. I brought coins with me, I can pay." I ignored him and paid for the books I bought
Everyone likes free stuff but I can't accept those from a stranger.
"These books are too many, lady Eloise, but I'm sure your brother's kids will love them!" Stella said
I smiled, "C'mon, we're heading home."
We went home and saw the kids playing in the garden, their butler and other servant is with them to keep an eye on them
"she's here!"
Shan and Celeste came running towards me, I told Stella to put the books in their rooms
"I can't wait to read em', thank you so much!" Celeste hugged me
"These kids love you, my lady," one of the butlers said
I just smiled, "Anyway, tell the head chef to get ready for dinner, my father will arrive from his business trip later,"
"Will do, my lady" he bowed down and guide the kids inside
Veronica prepared a tea for me in the garden, I sat down and drank it while mesmerized by the view
"The garden grew so beautiful in the past years, lady Eloise," she said
"They look lovely," I responded
As soon as I finished the tea, I went to my room and sat on my bed, everything is just too perfect and I'm not comfortable with it.
