Chapter 63 – Confession
“Please tell me more.”
“Can I continue after washing and drying your hair? I’m worried that you’ll catch a cold.”
“Ah, shall we?”
Melanie told her about the Grand Duke’s mansion and Kaligo. As a child, Kaligo wasn’t particularly curious.
What would happen after hearing the story about Kaligo, the male lead? Ashia asked her to tell her about the Kaligo from seven years ago.
As if her request was unexpected, Melanie raised her eyebrows and obediently started talking about those days. Melanie was good at telling stories and her voice was also pleasant to listen to. Ashia quietly listened to her to the point that she almost fell asleep.
After getting out of the bathtub, Ashia headed to the Grand Duchess’ bedroom. As she sat down in front of the bedside table with a mirror, Melanie approached her and began styling her hair with deft hands.
“It’s really pretty, Miss Ashia.”
She looked at her own hair in the mirror at Melanie’s words.
“Oh, it’s a common color.”
“I’m not just talking about your hair.” Melanie slowly combed her hair. She looked at Ashia’s eyes through the mirror and smiled at her. “How could someone like this jewel appear?”
She wasn’t saying that only to please her. She simply didn’t hide her overwhelming awe. Maybe that was why Ashia, who was always indifferent to others’ compliments, quietly smiled at Melanie’s compliment.
“Let me know if there’s any scented oil you want. I will somehow save you one or two.”
“No need, the scented oils on this shelf are enough. They were all the scented oils I liked, which is surprising. These couldn’t have been easy to find.”
“Ah… really?” Melanie’s eyes widened in surprise for a moment, then she continued her words with a warm smile,. “I thought I knew His Grace well, but I am still lacking.”
Ashia looked up at Melanie.
The latter softly smiled as she continued, “I guess His Grace knew Miss Ashia’s taste.”
“…”
“Scented oils…. Were the flowers in the bathtub to your liking, Miss Ashia?”
“Ah… that’s right.”
The flowers floating in the bathtub as well as the herbs were things she had enjoyed using since she was Renna.
“I didn’t know [His Grace] was this detailed.”
“…”
It was so obvious who did it that she didn’t have to ask who she was talking about. But still, she wanted to confirm.
“So… all of this….”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“…”
“All of this is His Grace’s orders.” Melanie smiled happily as she finished drying Ashia’s hair.
She said many things after, but Ashia could no longer hear her. She just blankly looked at herself in the mirror. After drying her hair, Melanie bid her to have a good rest and slipped out of her bedroom. Only then was she left alone.
‘Scented oils and flowers. You ordered them yourself?’
Slowly looking around, Ashia jumped up from her seat at a sudden memory. She quickly walked to the window.
From the window with the curtains drawn wide, the beautiful garden of the Grand Duke’s mansion came into her view. As the sky darkened, the lamps placed everywhere lit up all at once. Looking from above, only then did the overall structure of the garden come into her view. The direction of the trail and the waterway, the location of the fountain, as well as the stylish arches that are uniformly lined in the trail.
It wasn’t unfamiliar.
After staring at the garden for a long time, Ashia looked at Kaligo’s room and carefully slipped out into the hallway.
‘No way.’
She thought that something was strange. At the very least, she had only visited the Grand Duke’s mansion enough times to be counted with her five fingers. it was normal for everything to be unfamiliar, but strange enough, it wasn’t the same with the garden.
Her steps quickened as she walked down the hallway. She strode down the unfamiliar staircase and ran through an unfamiliar hallway, the hem of her dress in her hands. Then she arrived at the road leading to the main garden, which she had just looked down at from the window.
“Hah, hah… hah….”
She panted and looked in disbelief at the scene in front of her own eyes. Her rapid breathing didn’t die down. It was probably not because she had just run. Perhaps it was because her heart, startled by the scene unfolding in front of her eyes, was beating more intensely than before.
“Really… this man, really….”
Her eyes felt hot. She bit her lower lip when she thought she was about to burst into tears. It wasn’t just the scented oils and flowers. The main garden. To be clear, the space she liked and often stayed in was the garden of the main building of the Duke’s residence while she was living as Renna in the past. It was also one of the few places in her life that made her feel happy.
“Haa… haa…”
Her heart raced as she breathed out with emotion. Ashia knew. She could feel it. the traces that could be found everywhere in the Grand Duke’s residence were his other confessions. In the end, even though they were words that he couldn’t directly tell his wife directly and scattered everywhere, he watched her and remembered what she liked, and where her smiles were the most beautiful.
These were his confessions, as if she could hear them without having to hear them directly from him.
“Ashia?”
At that moment, Kaligo’s voice, which should have been inside his own room, came from behind her.
(T/N: My seat suddenly had many ants. Kaligo sprinkled too much sugar, the ants are starting to eat my laptop hahahaha)
