Morning with worries
The wind eventually got colder.
The leaves had fallen off their branches, leaving the thin, stark branches to stand out all over the garden. As the cold breeze wafted through fervently, the servants of the Duchy began to move rather busily.
It had always been busy during this time of the season, but this year was going to be even more special.
All due to the fact that the Duchess of Everwyn was right here—staying. The servants had especially prepared her own bedroom.
Even when she was ill previously, her room had already been arranged, but it didn't just stop there.
In preparation for her delicate and fragile body, they made the room for the Duchess even warmer than before.
Seraphina, who stepped in while being barefooted, was immediately surprised by the thickness of the carpet that had been laid out.
