After giving up on Katarina, Nicole Ascart thought he would never get interested in anyone else ever again. Yet fate doesn't seem to agree when he ends up falling in love with
Y/n Claes.
Will the handsome quiet, young man finally conquer the heart...
Waking up at the sound of lovely chirping birds, the second daughter of Duke Luigi and Duchess Millidiana Claes, looked outside the window of her room and smiled
Seeing the sun brightly shine in to the clear blue sky, Y/n Claes had a feeling that today was going to be a great day
Hopping out of her bed she quickly put on her favorite F/c dress with brown heeled boots before heading towards the living room to eat her breakfast
Much like her sister, Katarina, Y/n was also known to have a very good appetite. So when she entered the dining room and saw all the delicious food on the table, she couldn't contain her hunger and gobbled down almost half of it
" Lady Y/n" A maid with short brown appeared into the room with an discouraged expression " How many times am I going to have to repeat myself. You need to wait for everyone else to arrive before eating as you are not the only one hungry in the morning"
" Swarry Anne" the girl said with a mouthful making the maid chuckle
" Good morning!" A very cheerful blue eyed girl exclaimed upon entering " Did everyone have a good night rest?"
" I did, Lady Katarina" Anne smiled
" And you Y/n?"
" Absolutely!" the girl gave her sister a thumbs up " What about about you? No bad dreams or anything?"
" No, nothing " the girl sat down at the table next to her sister " I think I was just to exhausted from yesterday's work in the garden that my mind didn't have the energy to make me dream"
" Speaking of garden, do you perhaps want to help me? I've managed to get my hands on some pumpkin seeds and thought we could plant them together"
" I would love to, but maybe later in afternoon " Katarina answered while piling up some food on her plate
" Why then?" you raised a brow in confusion
" Have you forgotten?" the girl chuckled " We promised to have a reading session with Sophia about a new novel she recently got interested in"
" Oh shoot!" you slapped your forehead " It totally slipped my mind. What time did we agree to meet?"
" At exactly 10 am, lady Y/n"
" Wait 10 am...." the girl glanced at the antic clock on wall " But that's in ten minutes!" she shrieked
" Exactly, which means that you both have to leave right this instead " Anne opened the door to the hallway " A carriage is already waiting for you "
" Thank you Anne, now come on Katarina" you grabbed you sister by the wrist making her drop her croissant
" Wait! I haven't finished eating" she whined
" We'll probably have plenty of sweets during our reading session so no need to worry" you said while running to the front door
" Oh I hope Maria brings some of her delicious pastries" the brown haired girl could feel herself salivating at the thought of having a cookie or anything baked from her friend in her mouth
" I'm pretty sure you can count on that "
***
" Maria as usual your pastries never seize to amaze me" Katarina hummed in delight " This is so good!"
" I'm happy to hear it, take as much as you " the blond woman offered
" How about we all take a small break to eat and rest our eyes? " you suggested to which everyone in the room agreed
" Ahh...finally " Mary sighed dramatically and let herself sink into the couch
" Tired already ?" you gazed at the girl who gave a slight nod
" Although I'm quite fond of reading, having to do this for two hours straight without a break can be quite exhausting" the auburn headed girl said
" I'm sure that after some good tea you'll have plenty of energy"
" I'll ask the staff if they can provide us some" Sophia got up from the couch and was about to walk out of the room but you stopped her
" Wait, is it okay if I wander around outside for a while?" you questioned
" That's not a problem" she smiled
" Anyone else want to join me?" you glanced at the girls but they all wanted to stay indoors
" Alright then I'll be back in ten minutes" With that you left the room and headed down the hallway towards the front door
However, during your walk you were looking anywhere but in front of you, which then, to no surprise, caused you to abruptly bump into someone
" Oh my!" you immediately bowed while rubbing your nose " Pardon me, I wasn't paying attention "
" It's alright" a calm and gentle voice said. Standing up straight, a smile made it's way on your lips as you locked eyes with your friend, Nicole Ascart
" Good morning, lady Y/n" he greeted " Glad to see you again"
" Likewise" you chuckled " But please, I already told you to just call me Y/n. There's no need for formalities "
" Sorry" the black headed male scratched the back of his neck " But I think I'll probably never get used to that"
" I understand, but know that it's okay" you reassured " Anyway... I'll better be on my way as I still want to get some air before continuing my reading session with the others"
" Are you heading towards the garden?" the boy curiously questioned to which you nodded
" Do you... perhaps mind if I join you?" He hesitantly asked
" I don't but do you have the time for that?" You tilted your head
" I finished most of my work so I can offered a break" he responded
" In that case you're more then welcome " you grinned with closed eyes and resumed walking, with this time Nicole at your side...
Who unbeknownst to you, smiled your way
