Chapter 225

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 .
