Chapter 175

One month later.

Larane opened her eyes in the warm breeze that gently brushed her face.

The first thing that greeted her when she woke up was the distant sound of Eastern folk songs.

A smile spread to Larane"s face in the melodious and cheerful song.

"Are you awake, Lady Lombardy?"

The gentle voice was Tokia, the maid of honor given by the Luman family.

A friendly person with an impressive dark skin tone and jewel-like scarlet eyes helped Larane adjust to this place a lot.

Larane said, drinking the cool water that Tokia gave him.

"You're supposed to call me by my first name, Tokia."

"Oh, right. I'm sorry, Lady Larane."

"Huhu, it's okay. We're still getting used to each other. And it's today, isn't it?"

Larane asked as she rose from bed with a face full of anticipation.

"Yes, that's right. Oh, there he is!"

Larane's steps became faster when Tokia pointed out of the wide-open terrace.

"Ah."

Larane subconsciously uttered an exclamation.

A big ship was coming in across the blue horizon in the distance.

It was an Eastern Cruise of Pellet Corporation.

The splendid and large hull, which proudly roams over the sea as white as white clouds, made the viewer's heart race.

"I can't get enough of it no matter how many times I look at it."

Before she knew it, Tokia came near her and was enjoying it.

"There's a lot of change going on in the East as there's a port in Cheshire and Pellet Corporation serves as a bridge between the Luman estate and the center."

"Pellet Corporation..."

Larane recalled her cousin, Tia.

The night Tia rescued her from imprisoned, she also learned Tia's great secret.

Although she did not hear the exact explanation, Larane intuitively realized that Pellet Corporation belonged to Tia.

But she wasn't as surprised as she thought.

"I thought Tia might have a secret or two like that."

Larane smiled as she recalled her cousin, who was always smart and brave, who was more like an older sister.

"I think Lady Larane is so beautiful when she smiles so broadly."

Tokia said with great admiration.

"Am I...?"

Larane touched her face in bewilderment.

Certainly, her laughter has increased a lot since coming to the Luman family.

Her personality is also much more active than before.

"Soon, the goods from the ship will be carried to the mansion. Would you like to get ready for a quick look, Lady Larane?"

Larane smiled and nodded at Tokia's suggestion.

After a while, Larane reached the largest hall in Luman Mansion.

At the call of Avinox's father, Lord Luman.

"Good morning, Lord of Luman."

Larane greeted cautiously, looking a little nervous.

It was the first time for Larane to face each other like this with Lord Luman, as Avinox went on a tour of the estate.

"Oh, you're here!"

However, Larane, who only went to Indite, greeted him brightly enough to overshadow such concerns.

"Here in front of Lady Lombardy a lot of stuff has arrived. Would you like to take a look?"

Larane, who had hoped for a letter from Tia since Pellet Corporation's ship came in, her eyes were round.

It was because a lot of things were piled up one by one to form a small hill where the Lord of Luman was pointing.

"Whoever..."

As she approached carefully and looked at the boxes, Larane found two-letter envelopes in a small basket.

The red envelope was a letter from Tia.

[ To Larane

I'm so glad you had a safe engagement ceremony.

I'll send you an engagement gift in the name of Pellet Corporation.

Didn't you say the wedding was in a year?

Make sure you give me a call.

I'll write to you from time to time.

Once again, congratulations on your engagement.

Tia.

P.S. If you need anything else, tell the Pellet Corporation's branch of theLumanestate. I'll send you as much as you want.]

Having finished reading the letter, Larane glanced through the piled boxes.

She could see that most of them were tagged by Pellet Corporation.

"Oh, it's..."

And she quickly realized that there were products that she used to enjoy when she was in Lombardy.

Was she worried that I might get homesick?

At first glance, it may seem indifferent, but a caring feeling has been conveyed.

And the second letter.

"Gr, grandpa...?"

The sender's name, Lulak Lombardy, was written on the outside of a plain, envelope.

Larane's fingertips trembled, taking out the stationery.

The content was not that long.

[ Larane

Congratulations on your engagement, Larane.

Don't forget you're always Lombardy.

From a distance, your grandfather.]

"Ah..."

Larane shed tears with a smile.+

Then she approached a large box with Lombardy's emblem on it.

The quick servants of the Lumans carefully opened the cover.

"This?..."

What was in the box was a set of white porcelain beautifully engraved with the world tree, a symbol of the Lombardy family in gold.

Everything was perfectly equipped, including dozens of large and small plates and utensils made of pure silver, so that it would be perfect to call-in guests and open the dinner right away.
