Lorsis raised his eyes to look at her expression; she looked a little nervous.

After pinning the rose behind his ear, Ahefeiya took a big step back, knelt on the white and gold carpet, and lowered her eyelashes.

He raised his hand and rubbed her head, saying gently, "It's worn very well."

Ahephia looked up and blinked.

At this moment, she suddenly wanted to see his expression, but everything in front of her was dark. She blinked again, and finally lowered her eyes too weakly.

"Are your eyes uncomfortable?" Lorsis asked hurriedly when he saw that she was blinking frequently.

She shook her head. “No.”

"Would you like some grapes?"

She nodded.

Lorsis wiped her hands with a wet cloth and handed the bowl of grapes to her, "Eat it."

Ahefuya picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. "It's very sweet."

As sweet as Deep Sea Grapes, but the berries are slightly larger.

Lorsis bent down to pick one, peeled it for her, and handed it to her lips, "If you like, I will ask the servants to prepare it for you every day."

The flesh beside her lips was moist and sweet. Ahefuya tightened her grip on the bowl and ate the grapes after a while. "Okay."

When her lips met his fingers, she tilted her head back a little.

Lorsis glanced at her, raised the corners of his lips, and continued to peel grapes for her, only stopping when she shook her head.

"Want to play cards?"

"think."

The fourth game was won by Akhefya again, and she pinned the rose behind his other ear.

Imagining the ferocious Duke with two large purple roses pinned behind his ears was quite a contrast. Ahefuya couldn't help but pursed her lips, a hint of smile leaking out of the corners of her mouth.

"What are you laughing at?" Lorsis couldn't help but smile.

She shook her head, lowered her head to pick up the wooden sign, and turned them away.

Lorsis quickly turned the cards back and played cards with her for the whole morning, feeding her some desserts from time to time.

At noon, he said, "Ahefuya, it's time for lunch."

Ahefuya stacked the wooden signs one by one into the box, and did not look up when she heard it. "But I'm not hungry. I'm full."

He fed her so much fruit and dessert that she was full.

"Then play by yourself for a while. I'll come over after lunch."

"Aren't you busy?" The Duke should be very busy, right?

It was as if her father was so busy that he completely ignored her, who had little presence to begin with.

How many years had it been since she last saw him? It seemed like a hundred years. She had almost forgotten the sound of him swimming in the sea, and she had completely forgotten what he looked like.

"I'm done. Besides, it's a storm now, so there's nothing to do." Lorsis half-knelt in front of her and rubbed her head. "What do you like to eat?"

"What do you like to eat?"

"...I don't know. I'll eat whatever you give me." She had no choice.

"So now do you think the food in the castle is delicious?"

"tasty."

"In the future, ask the chef to make something different every day. If you like something, tell him you can order it next time."

"I want to eat shrimp, can I?" I haven't eaten it for many days.

"Of course. Can you read?"

Akhefya nodded.

"Okay, I'll be gone for a while. You can play here. When you get tired, take a nap. I'll prepare afternoon tea for you."

"Um."

Lorsis stood up, asked the maid standing outside to go in and watch over her to make sure she didn't get hurt, and then he went to the library in the castle.

He remembered that there seemed to be several Braille books there.
