I promise~ Riftan Calypse X Reader

XIII

" My lady, shall I put your hair up like yesterday?", Rose asked as we sat in front of the same vanady as before, while the sound of rain hit the glass in the back. " When you are with me, keep your hair down. I love how it feels on my skin". " No, let's leave it down", I said as I felt a smile crept onto my face. " Of course".

" Will you be resting in your room today", Rose asked as she poured me some tea . Riftan told me to rest but I don't want to hang around and do nothing. " Actually, could you please call Rodrigo. I'd like to go to the library", I ask. I'm the Lady of the Calypse castle now. I must find myself useful.

Holy shit that is a lot of books, There are even books from the rome empire, you could get good money out of that. " I have brought the account books you asked for, Milady", Rodrigo said as he bowed in front of me. " Thank you". " No need to thank me. I've tried my best to keep things in order, but many are still lacking. I'm so happy you are here, Milady", Rodrigo said in appreciation. If I could actually do this... Just take it slow and learn the basics. Should be easy.

It continued to rain for the next week or so, and Riftan leaving at dawn every morning. I continued to inspect his land as he trained his knights and only came back at night. During those days I learned more about the castle, it wasn't that easy leaving me confused most times. Until one day it was time to meet the merchant- My very first appointment as the lady of the castle. He should be coming soon, I hope I do well. I feel my nerves going up, I start playing with the skin on my fingers. I didn't notice that I was scratching so hard that skin was peeling back. " My lady! The head of the merchant guild has arrived" Rodrigo informed me. I tear my gaze away from the wall and look at him " Oh please show him in" I answered as I gave him a faint smile. He nodded before leaving the room.

The man had come and we talked about how we'd fix up the castle. I never knew how many types of glass and curtains there were. At the moment I'm in the library writing, exhausted. The next day was more stressful than the day before, more choices and more asking which texture I like better. As the man is telling more about what he has, then Rodrigo comes in. " My lady, the tailor that the lord has requested is here" Rodrigo interrupted the man as he gave him a quick glare. I raise my eyebrows in confusion " The tailor?" I was confused before I remembered that Riftan had mentioned the night before about him getting the best wardrobe for me. " I can come back another day, my lady. You're ordering many things, and since it takes time to transport such quantities, please think it over carefully until our next meeting" The man said as he gave me a smile. " All right," I answered as I gave him a tired smile. He soon left the room as I let out a sigh and let my body rest. " Are you alright, my lady?" Rose asked, concerned as she came to my side. " I'll ask the tailor to come again another time if you are tired, my lady," Rose suggested. " No no, I'm fine," I answered. Riftan called them in just for me, I don't want to send them away.

The tailors came and they made me try lots of different styles I didn't like so they left. I learnt that there was no budget and I couldn't but feel a guilty feeling in my gut. I didn't want Riftan to spend so much money on me, I'm fine with everything I have but I suppose it's the thought that counts, right?

I slowly walked down the hallway deep in thought humming a song. I ran my finger through the cracks of the wall. " Why are you out there? And with such a thin dress on" I hear a voice behind me say. I turned and saw Riftan standing there soaked. " I was about to return to our room" I answered as I walked over to him with a small smile. " It's cold out. Make sure to wear a cloak next time" He said as he put a hand on my shoulder. I smiled up at him. I was going to put my hand over his but then I noticed something blue underneath his cloak, I turned my head to the side curious. " Is that-?" " It's nothing," Riftan quickly said as he covered it up with a faint blush. I slowly nod my head reluctantly agreeing with him. " Let's head on" He said before turning on his heel and walking ahead of me. I quickly followed beside him and grabbed his hand in mine, intertwining our fingers together. I look up to him to see that he's blushing brightly. I feel a smile creep up onto my face. He stopped quickly before letting go of my hand and grabbed blue flowers and brought them in front of me as he looked away blushing. I smiled and looked at him. " They bloomed in the fields, so I brought some."I felt my smile getting wider. " They looked so nice just sitting in the empty field," He added. I grabbed the flowers and brought them to my face and smelt them. As they are still pushed up to my face I looked up to him as I brought them down a bit. " They seem shabby now... Just throw them away if you don't like them" He spoke as he ran his hand through his hair. " I'd never...!" I replayed quickly as I gripped them in my hands. I looked down to them as my eyes started to blur. " They're so pretty" I whispered as I saw tear drops fall onto the flowers. I felt warmth spread all over my body as I looked back at him. He looked taken aback seeing tears running down my face " Thank you...!" I blissfully said as I smiled at him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down as I kissed him before pulling away as quickly. I blushed and looked away " Let's...go" He said before walking forward. He stops in his tracks before turning back to me and grabbing my hand and walking with me.
