Chapter 38: Ch 38 : Lucy’s Home
"....Is this your home, Lucy?" Noel looked at the place in front of him, which was almost the size of a small town, and asked hesitantly.
"Yes, it is." Lucy nodded without hesitation. "What's wrong, Noel?"
Noel scratched his cheek, his tone carrying a hint of surprise. "Although I've heard about it before, looking at how you usually are, I just can't imagine you as a rich young lady."
"Eh?" Lucy asked curiously, "Then, what kind of image do I have in your eyes, Noel?"
Noel touched his chin and smiled. "Hmm, how should I put it? You give off the feeling of a girl-next-door type, rather than a high-and-mighty wealthy lady."
"A girl-next-door, huh..." Lucy tapped her chin with her finger. "That makes sense. Compared to me, your demeanor and speech actually feel more like someone from an ancient noble family."
Hearing Lucy's words, Noel's steps paused slightly.
"What's wrong, Noel?" Lucy noticed his reaction and asked.
"It's nothing," Noel shook his head and didn't say more, then resumed walking.
As they chatted casually, Noel and Lucy soon arrived at the center of the courtyard, standing before a beautifully designed mansion.
"Mrs. Spetto." As Lucy reached the front of the mansion, she called out to a short, middle-aged woman with purple hair, dressed in a maid's uniform, who was sweeping the path.
