The Dinner

Upon hearing what his Queen said, his laugh covered her ears and Luna didn't even know why her valet is dying in laugh. Did she misspeak?

She waited for him to sober up until he stood straight, with a smile on his handsome gentle face.

"This 'very' room will be your beautiful dwelling, milady, from now on and then. And yes, welcome to your room, I will deposit all your things in its designated place as you go prepare for dinner, beauty." He bowed his head with the gentle smile on his lips.

But she was totally afraid of touching everything. She cannot just go inside a castle and get to use all expensive things in no time! This is beyond her expectations!

"Are you sure I can touch anything?"

"Yes, milady. Don't ya hesitate on using everything, specially me. I want to be a use of you." he winked at her.

She wasn't bothered by his total Adonis beauty, she was totally not confident about touching expensive things in this room she doesn't possess but thinking what Linneus Gael Villarruel Savage said, she walked towards the wardrobe to open it and instantly jaw dropped of how everything looks materially pure and designer made garments.

This is absurd. Totally absurd.

From Linneus Gael Villarruel Savage's view, he saw shocked expression from his new milady drawing a small grin in his lips before speaking.

As expected of women, when it comes on expensive things.

"Milady, I want to tell you that everything in this castrum is now in your possession." His grin instantly turned gentle as his milady turned her head to look at him.

Eyes wide, but with no spark in her eyes, he was waiting for the usual reply of every woman he had served when announcing about their possession, but to his surprise he was asked by an unexpected question.

"Why?"

His eyes literally went wide and his mouth lost the curved line.

Luna looked down stopping to let out tears because a memory of the man who adopted her flashed in her vision. But she lost the only man who valued her life, fed and clothed her, and gave her a good life.

The glint of sadness in her eyes didn't escape Linneus Gael Villarruel Savage's eyes making him speechless. This is not the expression he wanted to see.

"My father said I shouldn't possess things I haven't exerted an effort with, even if it was given to me, out of kindness." She whined and looked at him with eyes speaking emotion, "I mean... are you really going to make me handle this property because I will be the wife of your employer?"

That was straight fucking forward for a Linneus Gael Villarruel Savage to answer. But he has to make things right because he was watched by the only man who could kill him because of making a mistake.

To make it look like he wasn't moved, he made a good laugh to brighten the mood. But it's actually funny for him. This woman... This woman would have a good future if she's not in this castle, unfortunately.

"You say kindness, milady?" He emphasized the word 'kindness' and laughed.

"Let's say this is meant for you for a while."

Her brows furrowed. "For a while?"

He smiled, gentle, showing nothing to be feared.

"Yes. Forgive me for being impolite, milady. I guess you have heard the rumours about Pyrenees so I'm going to tell you that there's a possibility you won't go out alive."

He looked at her eyes expecting fear from it, but it wasn't. She looks confused. For her, Linneus Gael Villarruel Savage looks too gentle that she couldn't find any sign to be scared with.

"Milady, the dinner is ready." He snapped to change his threat that seems to be turned down. He doesn't like it. He didn't make it to his expectation.

"Let's go."

As soon as she stepped outside her room, her awaited opportunity has come into her life. Everything in the castle is now visible in her eyes! Seeing classical style of architecture she only saw in books is now in her vision. She can even touch them! From the carpet to the ceilings, it was surely carved by an expert and ancient hand! If Pyrenees is not a scary place, this castle will surely be a tourist spot, a cultural spot, or a remarkable spot. She doesn't want to believe how could this be just a 'home' of a Billionaire and not handled by the government, but this place is really pleasing in the eyes, and she was like living in a fairy tale?

The grand staircase is so huge and wide, she could only think of the castle of the beast in the Beauty and the Beast. If she is wearing an 1862's gown, she would be walking like a Princess wandering in her castle now.

Enough of dreaming, Luna. You are here for your parents.

She has to focus on her purpose so she can get out from this place. She is here for her family not to hope about living in a fairy tale.

While his milady was following him, Linneus Gael Villarruel Savage can feel that his milady staring at him. Oh, is she studying him? This is new. All of his previous milady would actually talk and talk on how they couldn't believe that this castle is their possession. They would talk about what will they do inside the castle and asks so many things. They would flirt with him because he's hot, undeniably hot, but this milady is just... different. Well, maybe she is acting, so he cannot guarantee his conclusion.

"Have a seat, my Queen." He motioned his right hand into the antique and holy breech wood chair after a slight pull. Then here comes the charwomen serving her the dinner they prepared. They look young just like she is and that confused her but didn't ask her valet.

Expecting her to react, he stood there behind her until he heard her spoke.

"Am I... going to wait for him? I - I mean... am I going to eat dinner alone? How about you?" She gave him a glance but he didn't let his smile fade away.

"My beautiful milady, I am your handsome valet, I wouldn't dare make myself sit beside you. That would be insulting in my King's feelings."

Luna didn't speak and just eat, silently and slowly because she might break the plate with the knife she is using to cut the beef. She can say that this castle is not vegetarian because of the dishes served to her. Will she be treated like this all following days? And are they really sure that this castle is now her possession? What about...the said King?

This is really confusing her and she wants answers. It is not like she wasn't shocked from the abrupt announcement, she was more of confused. She came here expecting to work, or to be a charwoman but it is totally opposite from her expectations. She is here to be a wife, a wife of a Billionaire? Now she was questioning herself why she had to be chosen as his to-be wife when there are so many women out there who will be perfect for a Billionaire, the King. Because, it's a fact that she is just adopted and an orphan, she has nothing to be proud of, it's impossible.

And why would a very handsome man working as her valet? He could just go modelling or look for another decent job out here- and out there in the City that will make him live easier than just staying in this castle...

Ok, no more thinking. Her worries will just make her worrier.

"The dinner is good, Linneus Gael Villarruel Savage."

One thing her father thought her after eating is to compliment the food, whether it's good or not.

Linneus Gael Villarruel Savage wanted to just stay in his smiling face but couldn't stop to laugh hearing his full name from his milady. She even mastered it.

"Milady, I am grateful that you find the dinner good, and you remember this handsome man's full name, but I please you, my Queen, call me Gael." He bowed his head.

"Gael.", she spoke.

"Yes milady?"

Now she wanted to start working for her purpose.

"Can I have a talk with your employer?"

"My pleasure" He then stood straight and walked normal as she followed him.
