Chapter 2: Princess Xenia
I stood on a high ladder and trimmed the bushes to look like apples. I saw the crystal green leaves dancing in the wind,
Suddenly, I felt as if I could communicate with him and shake hands with him cordially.
It was already dark, and the wind was rippling on my neat gardener's clothes. The dim sunlight swayed in the shadows under the trees.
"Lockett."
I heard a magnetic voice calling me, and I could tell it to be the owner of Westcastle, West, Vic.
I took off my gloves, placed them on the top floor of the ladder, and slowly descended the stairs. Walk down and stand still.
I lowered my head:
"Young Master, do you have any orders?"
I could feel his noble aura and kind and gentle gaze resting on me.
A force lifted my chin, it was Vicky's white gloves.
"Lockett, keep your head up, you don't have to be so restrained."
"Young Master, you are still so kind."
As I said this, I raised my head, as a courtesy to my master as a servant of the lowest level.
He didn't respond to me, dropped his hand, and just smiled at me.
Vicky has long, striking pure silver hair, tied behind it with a black leather cord. At the same time, he also has a handsome appearance, a pair of pure black and blue eyes, always revealing mystery and gentleness.
Vicky is a year younger than me and, like Ferdy, has just come of age. Fortunately, the young master was born in an aristocratic family, I think so.
He remained silent for a while, staring into my eyes all the time, and I could feel that he was in a daze, what he was thinking.
"Lockett, the princess will come tomorrow, my manservant is not enough, you can replace it."
"Yes, young master."
I blocked my thoughts, lowered my head again, and responded.
I could feel his gaze lingering on me for a moment before moving elsewhere. I heard the footsteps fade away, and I straightened up.
The figure of Vest Vicky faded from my sight. At this point, I climbed the ladder and continued my work.
As the only gardener at Vest Castle, I need to trim all the shrubs and spray all the flowers with water.
When I had done all the work, I went back to my lodgings and lay down.
In the quiet environment, I seem to be able to hear the call of late autumn before death, and the sound of flowers quietly blooming.
I'm looking forward to what the princess of the Dragon Empire looks like.
I thought about the other man's appearance and name, and soon after, I fell back to sleep.
Before going to bed, I seemed to see the beautiful roses outside the window quietly blooming, slim and elegant.
Blown by the wind, the flowers dance and show the most beautiful dance to the feathers.
The wind was still blowing, and it was a silent night. The moon hung high and shone brightly, shining on Lockett Yu's face, a pure and quiet face with a little water stain in the corner of his eye.
――――――――――――――
I had breakfast and put on the manservant's costume, just like Phidy, but not as refined as his.
Fei Di was in charge of the banquet and walks with the young master today. And I did what Fidi did before, taking care of the dinner table and everything else that needed me, but it was nothing.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and the valet's outfit lined me more slender than the gardener's.
I smiled, and so did myself in the mirror.
