CH 176

[Snowy Morning]

Dawn broke, and the day of the party at the Ehrenbergs’ mansion, where Tayte was waiting, arrived.

“Mngh…”

I woke up with the sunlight coming in through the window.

I lifted my heavy body off the bed and then looked out the window. At that moment, my sleepiness was instantly blown away.

“Ohh!”

It was silver as far as I could see, and I couldn’t help but shout in surprise.

“Snow piled up over the night!”

I got so excited that I immediately changed my clothes and ran outside.

There I noticed it was still snowing. Seemed like it was still going to pile up.

“Wow… achoo!”

Oh no.

I had gone out into the courtyard because I couldn’t hold my excitement, but… it was much colder than I imagined.

“Young Master! You are going to catch a cold!”

I heard Marina’s voice from afar.

I turned around and saw Marina running towards me with a jacket and towel in her hands.

“Thanks, Marina, you’re a big help.”

“Today is an important day, so please be careful not to get sick.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Today was an important day not only for Andrei, but for me as well.

Getting sick was the last thing I wanted today!

“Breakfast will be ready soon.”

“Okay. Let’s go, then.”

“Yes♪.”

I went with Marina to the dining room where my father and mother were waiting.

After finishing the post-meal coffee, it was finally time to prepare for the party.

My parents were going to attend the party. Of course, Reina was going as well. Apparently, she would head to the Ehrenbergs’ mansion straight from the academy with her fiancé, Mr. Abel.

This time of year… it would be the Christmas season in my previous life.

To think it would snow around the same time here—it felt just like a white Christmas.

It must be a good sign.

I had a feeling that many good things would happen at today’s party.

“Young Master-meow~! We are ready to depart-meow~!”

“This way, please.”

Priim and Rebecca led me to the entrance.

“Huh? It’s snowing more than before?”

“That’s true~.”

“Perhaps we won’t be able to return from the Ehrenbergs’ mansion today.”

That was a little worrisome.

However, my father and mother casually said, “We can just stay overnight, then.”

Looked like my parents and Tayte’s were closer than I imagined.

Of course, I wasn’t against the idea. Because I’d be able to spend more time with Tayte.

“Well, shall we go, Young Master?”

“Yeah.”

At Marina’s prompting, I got into the carriage and then my three maids followed suit. Thus, we set off to the Ehrenbergs’ mansion.

I couldn’t wait to see Tayte…
