Throw the Bait

As they entered the grand halls of the Eastern Duchy's estate, the steward led Adeline and Dimitri to a set of comfortable guest rooms overlooking the gardens.

Looking at all the furniture and design, Adeline fell deep in thought. The steward was talking about something but she didn't listen

With Dimitri here, why worry? He will tell her.

Once the steward left, Dimitri decided to go to his room and clean up. He looked at Adeline who was lost and thought. He called out to her.

"Adeline, what are you thinking?"

She was looking intently at the furniture, the carpets and the curtains.

"Hmm? Nothing much. I thought of hiring the Duchess as the interior designer for my room back at home. Just look at this. It's beautiful!"

Dimitri was left speechless. Well, that was Adeline for you. Only she would think about asking the Eastern Duchess to design her room.
