Chapter 54
“We’re not officially in a relationship yet...”
“Miss, I’ll attend to you to the best of my ability during your stay here.”
Regardless of Emmett’s uneasy expression, Mia strode over to Liv, beaming:
“Throughout your time in this place.”
“Liv, she is the castle’s head maid.”
Observing the three smiling people before her, Liv grew increasingly bewildered. She couldn’t fathom their true feelings at all. While the Emmett she knew seemed a good man, those around him would naturally like him too. Yet she, a lowly existence by his side, should surely be viewed with wariness...
As Liv stood unmoving, unsure how to react to their warmth, Mia gestured towards the castle:
“Your Grace, let’s bring the lady inside at once. Wearing a dress in this weather, how hot she must feel?”
“You’re right, I didn’t consider that. Let’s go in, Liv.”
Emmett extended his hand, and Liv naturally took it, entering the castle as Mia and Phillip exchanged sly grins for some reason.
Once through the entrance and finally setting foot inside, Liv saw the servants lined up as if awaiting Emmett’s arrival. Though outwardly rugged, the interior was quite lavish and grandiose, the neatly dressed servants lending the Ducal castle an even grander air.
“Welcome back, Your Grace.”
