Chapter 35 - A Rainy Afternoon’s Conversation

Chapter 35 – A Rainy Afternoon’s Conversation

The Blanc’s house reeked of damp and unpleasant smell, a stench so repugnant Trisha could detect without effort. Trisha hated this house. Everything in this house was constraining in itself.

“I can be like Diana.”

As a proof, Diana described herself as a friend. The duchess may not agree, but the opinion of the persons concerned was the most important. Besides, the Crown Prince’s Highness let her carry the letter for Diana. That meant Trisha was special.

“Yes, it’s the same thing.”

Trisha is placing an order today for medicinal herbs.

“Because we’re friends, we’re the same.”

It was like a dream believing that one day she would take her out of their dull house. She will enjoy a beautiful environment of eternity with Diana at the Duke of Carl, and let her dream for a while with the Prince’s Highness.

“I am the same.” Trisha wanted to make the dream come true.

***

Trisha, who was in trouble, blinked without knowing what to do with her first assignment from the Prince. It was a call from Lucas to receive a reply in review to the letter sent to Diana by Lucas’ order. Still, the feeling of being able to sit in the reception room of the Imperial Palace made her feel different.

“If you wait, your Majesty will come.”

The sergeant arrived with a stern look. The reception room was splendid, and it was as timeless as time passed by.

“I can’t believe this is the same world.”

She remembered her house where she slept last night. Even though she was born and was raised there all her life, she rarely got used to the shady humidity and the sound of mice running under the roof.

When she returned to the palace, Trisha felt as if she had found her place. It was a far more incomparable luxury than she thought in Diana’s old mansion.

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince!”

At the sound of the sergeant at the door, Trisha stood up and bowed her head. Soon Lucas’ shoes came into the sight of Trisha.

“Raise your head.”

Lucas spoke half-heartedly and sat down. Soon the ladies served warm tea and savory cookies. All of them were luxurious enough that Trisha could not even watch them. Yet this time, Trisha had a share. It was because Lucas called it on the sofa in the reception room.

“You can drink.”

“Thank you.”

Lucas watched Trisha with her legs crossed.

“You look much better now.”

The dress she wore was chosen by Diana herself. Her high-profile green-colored suit added to Trisha’s red hair and charm.

“Lady Diana gave this as a gift.”

“Really? I thought it was chilly, but there was one.”

Lucas scanned Trisha with his emerald eyes. The vibrant red hair impressed him. Well, if Trisha’s luck had gone wrong, he would have forgotten it after he had committed it once. But now Trisha was Diana’s friend, and she was no longer a trivial maid.

“Give it to me.”

Trisha opened her round red eyes. Then, one step later, she understood what he meant.

“Sorry, Your Majesty, but Lady Diana still has a cold.”

“She must be so weak.”

Lucas shook his tongue as if he was unhappy. The rain from yesterday did not cheer him up. He thought he might feel better when he got a reply from Diana, but Trisha came empty-handed.

“If Diana gave it, was it originally her clothes?”

Trisha nodded unintentionally. In the end, Lucas’ eyes turned a little strange at the remark.

It was a novelty. Though Lucas opened his eyes to the joys of love affairs, committing to the first ladies day prepared by the empress,  something was lacking still. Each of the first ladies moved like a doll in fear of Lucas, and looking into the hole or hammering, it became repetitive later on.

Perhaps, Diana, who has a noble status, will be different.

Lucas’ expectations were centered on Diana’s delicate physical features. The royal princess is a precious woman that everyone looked up to. The woman’s body seemed to be different. In particular, he knew that the candidate was Diana; his expectations grew even more.

Like the first snow, he wanted to see the white skin, and he wanted to see it, even if he sucked it. He wondered what Diana would look like when she sobbed beneath him and premiered in everything.

“All right, go away.”

Lucas shook his hand. Trisha stood up, holding the hem of the dress. Lucas’ eyes turned to the dress again. The thought that it was Diana’s clothes aroused his sexual nerves.

“Wait.”

“Yes, your highness?”

“Sit back.”

Trisha followed the instructions without knowing what was going on.

“You said you were Diana’s friend, right? Ever since you were a kid.”

“Yes, sir.”

A mischievous smile came to Lucas’ lips. “Well, you must have seen a lot of her nakedness.”

“Yes…” An unpleasant curiosity was aroused. There was nothing to do with the rainy day, but it was Diana’s dress that’s leading him to think of erotic thoughts.

“Tell me more.”

“Huh? What ?”

“How’s Diana’s naked body?”

Only then did Trisha read Lucas’ desire. It was a bad thing to dare talk about a woman’s naked body, but it was the Crown Prince who ordered it. Trisha’s troubles were insignificant.

“Lady Diana… her whole body is as white as snow.”

“Huh, and?”

“It looks tender, but her chest is huge.”

“Continue. A conversation like this during a rainy day is also good.”

Today’s rain was on Trisha’s side. Now Trisha has wholly forgotten the house she was born and raised. The moist, filthy, unpleasant place was not Trisha’s. What’s hers right now, is the scent of tea that lingered and the rain that poured into the beautiful garden outside the window.
