70 If the stars can give me courage

I jokingly said that I might not mind just living in the greenhouse, and the next thing I knew, Natha had arranged for our whole day to be spent there.

He ordered the servants to bring our meals there, even the afternoon tea. I spent some time listening to short lectures from the gardeners about all of the plants there, and for all I knew, Natha made a plan with the castle staff to put something more comfortable to lie down in the greenhouse.

We opened the glass door that led to the lake. Beneath a small flight of steps was a tiny dock, enough for a small boat. We had a picnic there, eating our meals while dangling our feet above the water.

A date in our small little corner.

Here, it didn't feel like I was inside the Lord Castle, at the heart of the demon realm. Even while Natha was still the blue-skinned black-horned Nightmare, it just felt like we were in a different world of our own. A secluded little dimension belonged only to us.
