Chapter 217: A Discovery
Eleanora stared at the large balcony outside the studyroom, which was now covered with potted plants of various sizes... Gaia was a genius landscaper. She should have expected that from a man who was the ’Head’ of the Queen’s mansion since the Queen’s gardens in Estania were already famous, but she was still surprised.
She’d hesitantly tried to explain her vision to the man, fearing he would scoff at her for asking for the impossible. However, he had simply nodded his head while she had wondered if he’d even understood a word. But then, an hour later, the plants he had brought to her were exactly as she had said. It was as if he could read her mind.
"Princess Eleanora. Do you like it or do you need me to change anything?"
Eleanora shook her head and looked at the man with shining eyes, " Mr. Gaia. This is just perfect. Thank you."
"I’m glad you like it, princess. If I may..."
Eleanora sighed as the man then extended a plant," This is for you."
Eleanora looked at the little rosette-like blue-green plant and widened her eyes. It was so beautiful... "What is this?"
"This plant is called the Blue Elf or the happy plant. I think this would make the perfect center piece for your little garden... and I hope looking at this plant will only ever make you feel happy."
"Thank you, Gaia." She smiled and happily accepted the plant even though looking at it, she somehow felt sad. The plant seemed to be telling her that she was forgetting something.
As her hand brushed against his, her eyes caught sight of ink on his wrist. Surprised, she looked at him, "You have a tattoo?"
The man looked at her as he said," Hmm."
