Lady Dimitrescu x female reader

54 - Training

In the early morning, I found myself standing in front of Lady Dimitrescu's chambers, gathering the courage to knock softly on the door. She called for me to enter, and as I stepped inside, the early light streamed through the tall windows, casting a warm glow across the room. Lady Dimitrescu was seated by her desk, her long fingers gracefully tracing the edges of an old book. She looked up as I approached, her golden eyes catching mine.

"Good morning,"

she greeted, her voice smooth and commanding as always.

"Good morning, my lady,"

I replied, a slight smile on my lips.

"I wanted to let you know that I'll be away for a couple of days."

Her brow furrowed slightly, her gaze sharpening with curiosity.

"Away?"

I nodded, taking a deep breath before explaining.

"I'll be heading to Lord Heisenberg's factory to train more vigorously. I've been working on my powers, but I need to push myself further, and I think his factory is the best place to do that without causing too much... destruction."

Her expression softened slightly, though there was a flicker of concern in her eyes.

"Heisenberg, hmm?"

She paused, her fingers drumming lightly on the desk.

"He's a capable man, but make sure you stay focused. He has a way of... getting distracted with his experiments."

I chuckled lightly, already knowing Heisenberg's eccentric tendencies.

"I'll make sure to stay on task, my lady."

She nodded, her gaze lingering on me for a moment longer.

"Be careful,"

she said softly, her voice losing some of its usual edge.

"I trust Heisenberg, but I don't trust the factory. It's a dangerous place."

"I'll be careful, I promise"

I assured her, appreciating her concern.

"I'll make sure not to push myself too far."

We talked for a little while longer, the conversation flowing easily as we discussed my training and what I hoped to accomplish. It felt good, like the connection we were rebuilding was slowly strengthening. Eventually, I stood to leave, preparing to gather my things for the journey ahead.

"Don't be away for too long,"

Lady Dimitrescu added before I left her chambers. There was a hint of warmth in her voice, something unspoken but understood between us.

"I won't,"

I promised with a smile, bowing slightly before taking my leave. As I headed toward my quarters to pack for the journey, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation. Training with Heisenberg was bound to be intense, but it was exactly what I needed to push myself further. I gathered my belongings quickly and efficiently, and just as I was about to head out, I realized there was one more person I needed to inform. I found Florence in one of the sitting rooms, quietly reading a book by the window. She glanced up when she saw me enter, setting the book aside as I approached.

"I'll be away for a couple of days,"

I said, getting straight to the point.

"I'm heading to Heisenberg's factory to train."

Florence's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression stern as she crossed her arms.

"Training, huh?"

she said, her tone a mix of concern and authority.
