The Moon Loved Her

Chapter Nine

Home sweet home.

It was already afternoon when I reached to my own home. Here was my own building, where I could eat, bath, dress and practice freely! The only thing I have to do is join the war as a general and when in capital take care of some state affairs.

Jonathan took my small and light suitcase and led me to my chambers. My bedroom was perfect.

A spacious place with a humongous bed, a large window that faced the moon and the flower garden of the mansion.

On the left side was a the door that led to a bathroom that could be considered as hot springs.

Besides the door was a little desk with a large mirror. On top of the desk a few jewelry boxes were arranged by size.

On the othe side of the room, there was a huge wardrobe. I opened it out of curiosity and found about twenty different attires made by luxurious and expensive materials.

I sat on my bed and noticed how soft and clean it was. Like a paradise!

I threw my body on the soft mattress and felt like sinking and slightly bouncing on it like it was jelly.

*Haaaaah~*

I sighed in relief as I felt my tiredness vanish. As I turned my head around I saw a nightstand with a vase of lavender flowers and a little oval table made of marble and matching chairs that was placed near the window.

A knock on the door interrupted my little adventure.

"Come in"

Jonathan opened the door and entered the bedroom. Behind him followed about ten women of various ages dressed like maids.

They all lined up and bowed to me. Jonathan took a look at them and nodded in satisfaction. He threw his gaze at me and made a stern and professional face. He fixed his tie and spoke with his low and reassuring voice.

"Your grace... These are the candidates for your lady in waiting. Please select whoever you think is suitable..."

Jonathan turned his gaze on the ladies and asked them to greet me. All the ladies greeted me at the same time with the same phrase.

" We greet your grace Duchess Silvia Fury."

Out of all the ladies, I noticed an extremely capable one. Someone who was well versed in etiquette, looked capable and smart. She was around her twenties.

A sharp looking woman with black eyes and long platinum blonde hair. She had skin in the colour of ivory and thin but muscular build. Her almond eyes were shiny yet full of experience.

I got closer to her and stood in front of her. She raised her head and I noticed how naturally beautiful she was.

"What's your name?"

"Sienna Trevis your grace."

" You are now my lady in waiting"

"I am honoured your grace"

Sienna said in a serious manner that made her seem almost uninterested.

The other women were assigned as maids that took care of the chambers, the cleaning and helping in the kitchen.

"Sienna you can start working tomorrow... You can always ask for vacation if you do your job well"

" Thank you your grace I will do my best"

Jonathan led the women and my new lady in waiting out and I was finally alone.

I felt that I have been missing something. Something that its absence created the concept of nothingness in me. It must have been the tiredness of such a long day.
