When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 36

At around 9 in the morning, her eyelids slowly opened. As she sat up, tangled silver locks flowed down to cover part of her face.

“Are you awake, madam? Do you want me to prepare your breakfast?”

Just as Alice opened the window next to Laritte, a cool spring breeze touched the tip of her nose.

“The scent of flowers…….”

Laritte murmured blankly.

“It smells nice, doesn’t it, ma’am? I will comb your hair for you!”

The Duchy of Reinhardt was also known for the full bloom of the flower Crocus during the months of spring.

In particular, a village in the duchy was named Crocus. Perfume manufactured from that village was also one of the popular products in the society.

The fragrance of those flowers usually reached everywhere in Reinhardt’s estate in spring.

This mansion was no exception.

Laritte asked.

“What about Ian?”

“Oh-uh, don’t ask me!”

Shivering, Irene replied, stopping at her work of changing the vase.

“As far as I know, the Duke has been working since early in the morning. Do you want me to inform him?”

He said he’d see her.

Laritte shook her head.

She didn’t want to interrupt him.

If he said he’d come to see her, he would when he was free.

“If madam doesn’t have anything to do today, how about we watch the knights train?”

“Or you can call someone over to shop at the mansion, madam. I’ll go to the street and get the catalogue.”

There could have been a lot of things for Laritte to do after waking up.

Cleaning, washing dishes, or repetitive chores.

But she wouldn’t have to do those anymore.

It felt new and foreign to set a schedule for enjoyment.

Laritte saw employees of the Reinhardt household smiling at her wherever she went.

“Madam!”

“Madam.”

“Have a nice day, ma’am.”

A gardener, picking up flowers, said when she was passing through the garden at sunset.

“Madam, you’re looking very pretty like the pansy today.”

“Thank you……”

He held out a purple pansy flower towards Laritte which she took.

Ian still didn’t visit her.
