The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 21

The sound of raindrops made Laura realize, she felt warm and comfortable, slowly she opened her eyes, the place was filled with white walls, a room large enough, a, with a soft mattress and a window behind the bed, Laura tries to get out of bed.

"Where is this?" muttered. The noise rang out from outside the room, he stood up and realized his clothes had been replaced with a long white dress, his hair was loose, his pale face was framed on his face.

He opened the balcony of the room, then his eyes looked in surprise right in front of him a magnificent castle, the walls towering in some places decorated with flowers, conical shape, and on the background with a beautiful river.

Her hair that was scattered on the broom of the twilight wind, the breeze of the wind made her body relax even though once her stomach was rumbling she was so hungry. Someone opened the room door and a woman who was quite old approached Laura.

"You're sober? thankfully, you haven't been conscious since last night, what's your name, son?" ask with a friendly smile.

"My name is Laura mam." Laura said politely.

"You're so beautiful, and don't call me mam, I'm not the mistress of this house, call me Rosie, I work in this place for decades I work for the master of this house even my children who take care of it until they are married."

The old woman continued to look at Laura like she had seen her somewhere.

"Clean yourself after that come downstairs and have breakfast you'll be hungry." Laura walked up to Rosie and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you for helping me, I would have died if you hadn't helped me." He patted Laura's shoulder.

"no need to thank you, our fellow humans have to help each other, oh yeah if you don't have a purpose you can work in this place baby, if you want."

Laura tightened her embrace and cried on her shoulder, she nodded quickly making Rosie smile. "Bring me, I'm waiting for you in the kitchen."

Laura smiled she was very grateful because the person who helped her was very good, clothes were already available on the bed when she finished bathing, she then wore it, her hair was tied in half and the other hair was left uncoiled, slowly Laura opened the room door and found a stone staircase, after a few steps she finally reached the kitchen where Rosie was making a few cups of tea.

He turned around and smiled, "Come baby, I've prepared some simple dishes for you, you must love it."

Laura sat down and began to devour the delicious-looking dish, After drinking a cup of tea her eyes were sidetracked with the scenery outside.

Rossie turned around and noticed Laura's gaze watching the scene outside.

"This house was built by my master for me, he said I was too old to live with the other servants." He smiled happily remembering his past.

"I only went there when the master asked me to prepare his favorite meal, or the food supply in the kitchen was reduced, I was assigned to arrange the contents of their kitchen." Rossie said that.

She looked at Laura while thinking for a moment what task this young girl should be doing, her face was not at all the look of a servant but the face of a big miss. Her beautiful face with bright tosca eyes reminded her of someone's face.

"Who's the owner of this castle, Rossie?" Laura asked while staring from the window of the beauty of the castle, Rossie then smiled thinly while standing up.

"he's a famous duke, he works in government and is also a relative of the Empress, his name is lord Kent Windsor."

Laura just nodded but she did not understand what Rossie said at all, she had never studied the titles of nobility in England, laura only knew those who had everything were royalty.

It didn't feel like Laura had been living with Rossie for a month and she really helped her out, and Rossie no longer needed to walk around the castle, quite Laura sent the memo handed over to the kitchen chef at the residence and Laura was very happy to do it, it was a very easy job for her.

"Laura dear deliver this soup to the waiter who is there, say this soup to Scarlett's mistress, quickly go before the soup is cold." Carrying a tray Laura walked with the soup that she would bring to the waiter there. She passed by the very beautiful flower garden she then smiled, "very beautiful", murmured laura.

A woman sitting in the middle of the garden glanced at a brownish black long-haired girl, she turned her face away as Laura turned the woman in surprise, tosca's eyes stared back at him he smiled politely as he slightly lowered his head, the woman's heart beating fast.

"What happened to why is a mistress like this?" The man was none other than her own husband George who had only seen his wife's reaction after years of silence and just sat staring at the flowers in the garden.

"Tell me what happened to him? Scarlett, honey ! tell me." cried George, then he carried his wife inside the house and immediately contacted the personal doctor who handled Scarlett's mistress.

"Just this time I saw him react like that, what did he see?" murmured George walked back and forth in front of the room of his beloved wife.

Laura gave her soup at Rossie's request she then returned from delivering the soup, she looked at the huge castle and gazed from a distance at some of the crowd of ladys who walked gracefully in a long colorful dress. She smiled faintly, "They are very pretty". Murmured Laura.

Laura walks behind the castle and finds Rossie digging something in the garden.

"Rossie? what are you doing?" asked Laura curiously. Rossie continued to dig and found the mound like a rock and threw it into the vegetable basket.

"My friend gave me the seedlings of ketella, for that I have to tidy up the soil filled with these stones." He said in a loud voice.

"Can I help you?" laura's smile looked at Rossie. He then smiled, "No shame your hands will get dirty, oh yes you just plucked some flowers at the end there." she pointed at the flowers near the river.

"and frame it in that vase, I love dinner with a well-appointed table." Laura happily agreed to him and ran so small that soon he reached the riverbank.

The song hummed out of Laura's lips. There are various types of beautiful flowers, there are pale yellow petunia, violet iris flowers, and, the flowers of the beautiful purple bougainvillea plant as well as many others such as tulips, stage and roses, to the extent that Laura is confused as to which one to pick.

"Grandmother is really disappointed in you, that graceful and beautiful woman you just wasted you stupid man, I don't want to know ! you messed up your engagement, you're the one who finished it, apologize to your uncle, after all Kenan said he'd come home from Copenhagen, you could meet him."

Edmund ruffles his hair, he complies with his grandmother by preparing to go to his uncle's house to apologize.

"Uncle won't care, I'm engaged or not, he's busy taking care of the Empress and her sick daughter-in-law." Edmund said while buttoning his shirt.

He finally finished and prepared for his uncle's residence, the chariot speeding by not long after which he arrived at the Kent Windsor residence guarded by five black-clad guards, he opened the iron gate and let Edmund's chariot in.

Edmund gets off his horse-drawn carriage, and his gaze falls on his cousin Kenan Windsor the second of three children, "Haha, my perverted cousin has finally called off his engagement again, you amaze me." Shouted Kenan who greeted edmund, he smiled obliquely staring at the forehead, this man did not turn very annoying at all even though military training had made him careless.

"You don't envy my cousin's achievements, I don't like bonding." Edmund said lazily, Kenan brought Edmund to see his brother George, "Where's George?" ask Kenan to a guard.

"Mr George with Ms. Scarlett in her room, sir." Evidently.

"Not bother him because of my presence Kenan." Edmund cuek said.

"Oh, where's Carolina?" Ask Edmund.

"He's in Switzerland with his fiancee, next week will be back" Kenan explained .

"Cih boring, then uncle Kent?" Ask again. Kenan scratched his non-itchy nose, "He's still at the palace, his work isn't done, maybe tonight's just coming home."

"So, do something kenan to get rid of my saturation." Edmund said he leaned himself on a soft chair. Kenan sat down and thought for a while.

"You wanna go around? there was something that interested me." his words made Edmund grinned happily at Kenan.
