After dinner everyone went to their rooms to do their own personal stuff. Sabrina who was doing some light work and researching of what was most suitable as a gift for the empress felt something wrong with her butterflies.

As she felt that some of her butterflies disappearing she sent out another batch to see what was happening and what she saw was a man no other than the young duke himself, Lucas De Luna.

'My butterflies are usually sent out to random places, and the place where the butterflies landed this time was none other than the place of the duke. He must have sensed that the butterflies were no ordinary ones, and just decided to dispel it.'

So after finding out, she immediately dispel the new batches she had sent out before the duke finds out more.

She was startled, because a certain moment she thought that the duke was looking at her, she couldn't deny the duke was indeed a handsome man, and as far as she knows he is far by known the youngest duke and youngest noble to inherit the noble title.

In the story Sabrina has come across the De Luna family name but they didn't really made a huge part in the story. 

Sabrina then thought of something she thought that was silly 'maybe they did have a huge part or maybe involve in some scenes and situations but was just not mentioned in the book, I mean this is still an existing world isn't this?'

Sabrina then dismissed such thoughts thinking that she doesn't really know anything about the family since they were only introduce as one of the ducal houses. And in this world she only know about the a little things since the house is very discreet, but she do know one thing is that the De Luna is a family that should not be messed with.

Sabrina finally let out a sigh and decided to rest earlier so that she could wake up earlier to do her work and catch up with her mother, as to what they will buy for the empress.

"Hilda!"

"Yes my lady?"

"I will be resting early tonight so I want you to rest early as well because I will be working early tomorrow and I need you to tell mother that we will have a garden breakfast tomorrow."

"Will do my lady. Then excuse me I will take my leave, rest well my lady."

Hilda left after Sabrina gave out her orders. Sabrina went to bed and looked up at the ceiling for almost an hour thinking of everything that has happened. 'Surely things will get a little noisy in the near future.'

After concluding that, she finally doze of sleep. The next day she woke up with a bit of startle. She dreamt of a man standing in the garden, yes the duke himself. Sabrina couldn't believe why she has dreamt of the duke, she thought it must have been because of yesterday.

As she slowly raised her body a little beam of sunlight is finally peaking at the horizon, it was still very early but Sabrina decided that she will go to the green house to check her plants before breakfast.

Hilda who also woke up early was now standing in front of Sabrina's room waiting for her orders. And when Sabrina woke up and was planning to work she knocked and went in to help her prepare for the day.

When Sabrina was done preparing they both went to the green house.

"Excuse me my lady, I just want to say that the duchess has agreed to your request that you told me to convey to her yesterday."

"Thank you Hilda, I expect that you have already made arrangement?'

"Yes my lady, I already had."

"Hmm... very good"

Sabrina smiled and continued to do her work. She was looking at the new plant breed that she had carefully experimented on, a cross breed between two poisonous plant. It was growing well and was giving off a very dark color of red to the point it almost looks like black.

Surprisingly though it doesn't have any scent -given that the two poisonous plants each have their own scent emitted. This one however doesn't have any.

This made Sabrina smile, thinking that it is almost complete and is reaching the final stages of the observation. 'Now I'll just have to have someone to test this out...'
