Butler Kris and I arrived in front of a big door, which I presume is a door leading to my older brother's personal garden
It's pretty funny when I think about it, a man, has a personal garden. I know I'm being stereotypical but when I think of the situation, in this era, it's pretty unusual. But still, it's fine to me, if that's what my brother wants then I won't be having any kind of opinion about it. I'm just wondering as to what kind of opinions does my brother's friends have on this.
maids, stewards and junior butlers stood right at the sides of the door. all of them gave me strange and wondering looks, it's not unexpected since, I look a lot like my brother, at least from when I have last seen him.. I'm not so sure now since it's been a lot of years since we last saw each other
I wonder if he'd act awkwardly if he sees me again... we were pretty close when we were children.
now that I did the math, I think it's been around 9 years or so, that's a pretty long time, if I say so.
we were about to enter the door when a shout from a girl's voice stopped us in our tracks
"hold on...!!"
butler Kris and I turned to look at where the voice was coming from
I saw a blonde haired girl wearing a very frilly dress that you would only see a in a young child
I almost facepalmed in front of all these people after seeing her demeanor, oh dear, where is this lady's attendant? and who the heck chose her dress? are they trying to make her look like a Christmas tree?
"lady Coldwell" butler Kris greeted and bowed a bit
the so called lady Coldwell nodded and turned to glare at me
what? what did I do?? why is this lady glaring at me?
I turned to look at butler Kris and signed my hand that I wanted him to lean down a bit, and so he did, I whispered to him "do I bow to this lady or anything? I don't know her"
after hearing my words he stood up straight and shook his head so I nodded indicating that I got what he was trying to imply
so I just stood there and stared back at the lady, the lady retracted her glare away from me and looked towards butler Kris
"why is this peasant allowed to go inside, and I'm not?" she asked
"That would be none of your business, lady Coldwell" butler Kris answered efficiently
she stomped her feet and stated "hmmp! wait until my father hears about this! I will make sure that lady is dead by sunrise!" she then walked away
"what the heck is the deal with that idiot..?" I uttered, but it seems like I uttered it too loudly
"pardon, milady?" Butler Kris blurted, clearly didn't expect my choice of words
"uhm.. it's nothing. let's go inside, shall we?" I said
"well, then.. yes, let's go inside" butler kris responded and opened the door for me
there, I saw an immaculately beautiful green house, my eyes wandered around as butler Kris guided me
"who takes care of this garden?" I asked
"oh, it is one of my junior butlers that has the royal gardener for an uncle, so he was able to learn a few things"
"woah, whoever that is tell him he's so cool for that"
"yes, I definitely would milady. But the credits must definitely not be taken only by him, that is because the young master also tends to this garden whenever he gets the chance to do so" butler Kris informed
"oh, that's cool. well, I did see this coming since I've always seen him sneaking around the garden back at the dukedom watching the gardener tend to the plants. you know what, I was the one who encouraged him that it is not embarrassing for a man of nobility to want to know about plants, I guess all those encouraging finally came to bear fruit" I casually said
"then, I must thank you for that milady"
"no, it's fine, it was all brother's choice, a barely did anything"
the conversation went on for a short while
"we are here milady, I'll leave you here since I'm not allowed in this place"
"alright, thank you for leading me here, have a good day sir Kris" I said as he left
I can see silhouette of 5 men that seemed to be drinking some afternoon tea, I walked closer and closer and saw clearly 5 handsome faced men
they all stopped in what they were doing when they noticed my presence
"who are you and what are you doing here?" a blonde haired guy asked with hostility, he then turned to look at the only black haired man in the room "Xyron, I thought this place is your own personal garden, then how could a lady like her enter just like that?"
Xyron didn't answer at all, as he looked straight to my eyes
Xyron stood up, and walked towards me.
"Xyron, don't hurt the lady alright?, just politely guide her out" I heard a voice different from the blonde guy's voice say
elder brother stopped right in front of me and raised his hand gently
"Xyron...! do. not. hurt. the. lady." I heard the same voice repeat his words he must have thought that brother would slap me for intruding the garden
Xyron's hand brushed against my cheek gently
"Sirena..." brother uttered and hugged me tightly against his chest
"brother....I can't breath.. plus, you have guests" I whispered
he let go of me immediate once he realized he was cutting of my airway
"I'm sorry, I got too excited...w-when did you arrive?" he asked
"just now, a few moments ago, I suppose."
"why did you come here? are you going to stay here from now on?" he asked again
"wha--? no, I won't be staying here, that's what I'm sure of, but I also have no Idea why mother summoned me here" I answered
"ehem! Xyron, would you mind introducing the fair lady on your arms?" I heard the red haired man say, which I presume was the one who told Xyron earlier not to harm me.
