Chapter 24

HAPPY READING

Jisung prepared a cup of afternoon tea as he did every day and went into the Duke's office.

To avoid disturbing his master who was currently engrossed in his work, Jisung tried to leave the tea and leave but the desk was covered in documents and the person supposed to be there could not be seen.

As this was more or less a regular thing these days, Jisung shifted his gaze in the direction he expected his master to go and as expected, the balcony window was slightly open.

He went closer to take a look and he could see the back of a tall man, leaning against the handrail.

These days the duke would start work in the afternoon and then lazy around; something he had never done before.

He would spend a long time standing there and looking down the balcony.

And below was the beautiful picture of her Grace who had recently taken to diligently growing colorful flowers in the garden.

Her Grace frequently went out to personally examine the flowers in the garden and his master would watch her.

Jisung had initially thought that his master's honeymoon phase would be briefly interesting but now he knew it wasn't.

If there was a case where the prodigal son marries and starts to change and become a reliable person, then that was practically his master.

This was why one had to live long in this world. Jisung wondered if his master knew that when he was with her, it was as though nothing else was visible, as his gaze was locked onto her.

Surprisingly, her Grace did not seem conscious of his master's intense and straight-forward gaze. It would seem that her Grace was unexpectedly insensitive.

There was something delicate between the two of them. Obviously, their relationship was good. Her Grace would give his master a pure smile, and his frigid master would warm up when her Grace was around.

Nonetheless, undeniably there was somewhat of an invisible thin wall between them. It was too ambiguous to criticize and he couldn't speak out hastily on something vague.

It was a new routine to put a brief report on what her Grace did or who she met on his master's desk so Jisung couldn't postpone his report anymore. Even more so because it was related to the health of her Grace.

Jisung hesitated a little then approached the balcony.

"Your Grace."

"Mmm."

"I have something to tell you about her Grace."

At those words, Jungkook turned his head. He stared at Jisung then walked past him and went inside. But even after waiting a while, he didn't hear Jisung speaking. Jungkook could tell that Jisung was being hesitant.

"What's so difficult? Talk."

"...Her Grace has never had her monthly guest."

Lisa had a promise with Jisung that she would tell the Duke about her body condition together with Jisung.

But as time passed, Lisa was still the same, keeping her mouth shut. Jisung considered that she had forgotten so he reminded her but her Grace had only said that she understood and went back to being silent.

Jisung knew that interfering in this could be exceeding his authority but it was also the task of the steward to take care of his master's health.

Jisung worried several times if he should urge her Grace even if it was forcibly, to personally tell his master but eventually he decided to tell his master personally.
