As Bessie walked into the courtyard she squinted her eyes. The sun was high in the sky and it was beating down with a ferocious heat. The courtyard itself had plenty of places to be cool in the shade, but with the stone walls of the castle absorbing and reflecting so much of the sun's rays, if one was standing out in the open it felt like the entire courtyard existed to cook its occupants.
The maid walked out with some lunch. Bowls of refreshing chilled noodles, skewers of barbecued chicken, and pitchers of iced water and tea were all brought out and it was enough to feed six instead of the three that would be eating. Nonetheless, Bessie knew that if she brought more, even that would be eaten as it turned out her mistress had a voracious appetite, especially while training. And Dahlia certainly was training.
50 chapters! Woohoo~!
Thank you very much for your support until this point and I look forward to making more content going forward. This was a lot of work so far, and has become a much larger project than I ever planned, but I'm very happy I started.
I don't like asking for things like this, but if you made it to this point and are still enjoying yourself, I'd love for you to share it with friends that might like the novel or to leave a review. Though it's not something I plan to have happen in the immediate future, eventually I hope to get a contract and so anything like reviewing or sharing supports me more than you might realise.
Either way, even if you don't feel comfortable supporting in more overt ways, know that I greatly appreciate having you all read what I make and it fills me with pride to know there are people who enjoy what I write. Today we passed 200 collections and it made me so excited I practically bounced around my room. So again, thank you very very much.
And, as always, I hope you're having a wonderful day~
