Chapter 120
Chapter 120
The ducal estate had become lively again.
For a long time, it had been quiet—both the duke and duchess had gone south for recuperation, and their son, the young duke, had been living in the military. With no master present, the estate had remained eerily still.
But things had changed.
Now that Theo had returned with a guest, Gwen and the other servants were kept busy. Yet, despite the increase in workload, there was an unmistakable energy in the air.
"Did you see them earlier? The two of them having breakfast in the dining room?"
"I passed by and nearly fainted. How can two people look that good together?"
One of the maids playfully smacked her coworker’s shoulder.
"Think about it—do you really think our young lord, with his personality, would bring just any colleague into this estate? This isn’t just any house—it’s the Redrick Duchy."
"I-I guess you have a point..."
"And look at the orders he’s been giving through Gwen lately. He specifically told them to make sure Luke wakes up properly in the morning. And the meals? The young lord doesn’t even like sweet things, yet he changed the entire menu because Luke likes them."
At that, the other maid, who had been confused at first, clapped her hands together in realization.
"We’re talking about the young lord! The same person who never even blinked at all those noblewomen throwing themselves at him! And yet, now he’s going out of his way to take care of someone like this? That’s not something you do for just a colleague."
