Chapter 22: The Mysterious Glittery Thing in the Backyard
The sweet chirpings of birds welcomed Annalise as she stepped into the backyard of the Castle.
Even though it already had been a week since she arrived at the Cursed Castle, this was her first time in the orchard that was taking up most of the space in the backyard.
Since that day when the incident between her and Kenric happened, none of the Dark Lords had made an appearance throughout the week, leaving her alone with her thoughts and the empty castle.
Her only company were Sera, Aunt Claire, Garron, and Mr. Warren, but even they were busy cleaning the castle and decorating it in the best way possible with the little resources that were present.
Since none of the Dark Lords came out of the basement for so many days, the servants couldn’t ask for their permission to visit the market in order to buy the necessary items required for the renovation of the Castle. And Annalise wasn’t sure if she was qualified enough to grant them the permission.
On the other hand, one thing that they all had finally come to realize in the past few days was that Lord Valerius’ theory about her was pretty much right.
The castle indeed seemed to be accepting her presence, or probably liking too, because only those places remained cleaned and arranged properly which she personally helped in cleaning with the others. As for the other places where she didn’t even set foot and the others took care of them, they ended up returning to their rundown state within the night.
After a long week, they had finally cleaned the entire ground floor and some portion of the front garden.
In short, it had been quite a tiring week for her and the others as they tried to settle in their new home which was far from being called home at the moment.
