I was working at the palace for a week now. I was a new chamberlain and I quite enjoy my time here. Even though serving other people isn't really my dream, my coworkers are just fantastic, the place offers me a warm and nice stay and the Countess is very kind. I just finished my shift and walk down the forest, the sun setting in the distance. I'm happy because I'm about to see my darling. At least I hope she isn't working anymore. I reach her cottage and softly knock at the wooden door. A minute later it swings open and Portia stands in front of me. After seeing who is visiting her she beams and jumps in my arms. "Y/N! Aww, hey~ How was work?" She asks me as she pulls me inside. I smile as we sit down at her kitchen table. "It was just like any other day. Nothing stressful. I prepared the baths for the Countess, cleaned one of the hallways on the west wing and helped in kitchen for a bit." I say and she nods as she puts a cup of tea down on front of me, sipping her own. "I wish I could spend more time with you at work... It's not ease being the head chamberlain." She sighs and I reach out for her cheek and stroke it softly. "Don't worry, I understand completely."I smile at her and it seems to reassure her a bit. "I mean I'm already overjoyed that you chose to work at the palace." She smiles and I sip my tea. The reason why I chose to work here is to be able to spend more time with her. I close my eyes, enjoying the warmth of the drink and lean back against the chair. "So are you done for today?" I ask her and she nods. "Luckily yes. And now I get to spend some quality time with you!" She sais happily and I can't help but smile at her. She's adorable. We sit there talking for a while, enjoying each other's company until it's dinner time. "Be right back, I'll feed Pepi real quick." She sais and gets up from her seat, walking into the kitchen. Soon after she walks out with a small bowl and places it right next to the entrance. I smile as I watch Pepi run towards her, her tail bobbing with every step. Portia strokes her head lovingly and walks back over to me. She looks over at the clock and frowns. "Ugh.. It's already dinner time and I haven't even prepared anything.. You're really distracting, you know.." She sais and winks at me, making me blush a little. "Well, how about we go outside and have a picnic?" I propose and she thinks for a moment. "It sounds nice, but like I said, I haven't prepared anything." I smile and raise a brow at her. I point to a cupboard in the kitchen. "Are you sure?" She sighs and crosses her arms. "Y/N I told you." She speaks while walking over to where I'm pointing. "There's nothi-" She pauses as she opens the cupboard. There's a nice cake and some other snacks strown about and she huffs. "I wish I could do that! You're amazing!" She sais, jumping over and giving me kisses all over my face. I chuckle and help her gather everything. She quickly rushes into her room getting a nice blanket to lay outside. As we prepare our nice spot, the sun is just above the horizon, about to disappear. We sit down as I cut the cake, giving her a piece and I do the same for myself. We settle next to each other, cuddling and I pull a warm blanket over our shoulders. She nuzzles closer, resting her face on my shoulder and I can feel her chewing. I smile as we watch the sun's last rays for today. "I'm so glad I met you.." She sais and I can't help but blush. We entwine our fingers and I raise hers up to my lips. I give her hand a small kiss and look at her lovingly. "Me too. I love you." I tell her and she stuffs her mouth quickly while her cheeks go red. I chuckle and enjoy watching her struggle to swallow the big lump. "Hmm this is soo good!" She sais and I shrug. "I made it this morning before work." Her eyes go wide and she gives me a confused look. "But I thought you just use your magic?" I smile and shake my head. "No, I just used some teleportation. I wanted to make it especially for you." She smile and hugs me tightly. "Thank you, Y/N. You're the best partner one could ever hope for." She exclaims and I stroke her hair, making her look at me once again. "You too. You're the best." I say as I press my lips against her plum ones. They're soft and I smile against them. She truly is perfect.
