12 Louise's Purpose

The Duke was kind enough to tour her to the important part of the palace. She was right of her observation, the place give you a feeling of loneliness. It's as if the previous owner decided to shut herself from the world. The Duke told her earlier that his mother,Former Duchess Andrea started to live in this palace when his Father, the previous Duke died.

She went to her bedroom which was also spacious. It still has a complete furniture of the former Duchess. Duke Gerald really placed an effort in maintaining this place. She went to the bed and sat crossed leg on it. The bed was placed near the window with a large red curtain covering it.Louise lightly wave her hand and the curtain slowly opened and the room was illuminated by the sunlight.

She whistle and a small bird flew into the room through the windows. It landed on the floor facing her. Suddenly it was enveloped by a bluish aura and the small bird turn into a human female child. The kid looks like a three year old infant. Her face is so adorable that anyone who sees her will want to hug and pamper her. Her gray hair was tied into two buns but her face shows no childishness at all. She wore a serious expression before slightly bowing to Louise.

"Heron greets master."

"What did you find?" she asked.

"Reporting to master. Heron found that Chryssum plant that the master was looking for is indeed in this kingdom. Two years ago, the plant was auctioned at Dorring Auction House and was bought bythe Eldest Prince of Green, Prince Richard and gifted it to his now current fiancee the second daughter of Viscount Frey, Lady Isabella."

Louise scratch her nose.

"A fiancee of a royalty I see. What does she need the plant for?"

"That..." Heron hesitated a bit. "Based on the information that I gather, she's not using it in a particular. She actually made it into a necklace to display for everyone to see. I believe its because Prince Richard bought it for her."

Louise faintly smiled.

"Let her have it for the meantime. I have my own plan."

She stood up and walk towards the kid and slightly bent to get into her level. Louise tightly hug her. Heron, as if it's just natural hug her back.

"It's been hard on you kiddo. Thank you for gathering those info for me." She smiled and patted her head.

Heron smiled sweetly at her as if she like hearing those praises. She was again enveloped by a bluish aura and turn to a small bird and flew out of the window.

Louise lie on the bed and yawn. Seems like she needs to stay on this kingdom for a while.
