Chapter 225 - Report

Report
Under the moonlight, I sat on the balcony rail.
The natural light of the moon, reflected on the scenery shows a different face from that of the daytime sun’s bright light, which is also beautiful.
…It was quiet.
Although here is far away from the borders, but war is occurring in this very same country.
Suddenly, I turn my eyes to the flower pot next to me.
This blooming flower was purchased by me when I went just took the position of acting as a lord and was inspecting this territory incognito.
Several seasons have passed already from that time, and the flowers left seeds and scattered.
Repetitively blooming and breeding seeds, leaving the seeds and withering …… Now the flowers in this flowerpot are the descendants how many generations after the first flower?
I stroke the soft and beautiful petals.
The moonlight illuminates the petals, regardless of the darkness … its colors could be seen… No, it would be best to say that thanks to the moonlight it looked more beautiful.
If I think of it, so many things have happened from that time… while thinking, I moved my eyes to the book I was putting on my knee.
At that moment, I heard a knocking sound from the door.
“Excuse me, Milady?”
Tanya who cames in, looks at me as if looking to some crazy person.
“Why are you sitting in such a place?”
“When I got a break, I was looking at the scenery outside.”
If I don’t move from this place, Tanya’s complexion will pale up soon, so… I stood up from the balcony rail, placed the book on the desk and sat on the chair.
Tanya gave me a relieved look.
However, at the next moment, when I look at the book I had placed on the desk a slightly cloudy feeling got over me.
“From now on, I’m trying to stuff as much knowledge inside my head as possible…”
With a bitter smile, I told her.
What I was reading was a book about the Kingdom of Acacia.
Besides the books kept in the Duke of Almeria, books ordered from abroad are also found here.
I have no intention of going to his country until this turmoil has ended … but what will happen?
At the moment my reply to his proposal of marriage has been suspended because of the war.
“… Milady, before I leave.. I have something to report.”
“Yes … please let me know.”
“The details about the battlefield have not reached the Kingdom yet, but it was announced that the fire has opened.”
Did it finally start …? I exhaled in spite of myself.
