And with them came again kitchen service, something beyond the slightly welk cabbages and stale buns which were my provisions. Today was the last day between the years, the new servants came and the old returned. People steadily entered through the castle gate. The morning had matured a lot, the sun was a good distance above the ridge. The scent of trees and also more substantial pieces of wood were still in my fur after the candlelight grooming had been aborted prematurely. I would marry Count Radel! Ouch, even smiling hurt. Even moving my ears rang my handover from whatever had been in Larina's celebration bottle. Literally, everything that was a muscle hurt like hell. The morning brought the punishment for Yesterday. Never tried wine for months, no idea if I can survive it." She came with a fresh lantern, an extra candle and a bottle of wine. Now, I hugged him until the candle of the lantern went out. He kissed me and then started to cry as well while laughing. "She is right." I sniffed, "I saying Yes, if you thinking me is really good." I was babbling. Count Radel, the wonderful Count Radel still hugged me silently. Her hooves disappeared in the distance.Īfter some time, I calmed down. I went down on my paws and hugged him, my face on his shoulder. I needed support and stumbled forward, but she evaded me and pushed the count in my way.
How can you say that? Countess Kiara not a woman? What am I then?"Īt that moment, I was finished, emotional, and physical. "And you didn't say 'yes'?" Larina went in front of me, hands on her lower shoulder. "Well, we did not want to make it a secret," said the count, "I had proposed to her." We looked at each other and then also laughed. "What?" the count and I answered together.
Larina came soon, looking who groomed so late. I purred even when he had to tear out some fur. The little light from the single lantern did not much to help to find all of them. After I pushed his hand on the brush, he went stronger through my fur and got out the needles and leaves, twigs, bark pieces, and resin clumps. The count was hanging his tack to the wall when I entered. Freya was not there, probably drinking with the healers. While Radel brought his gelding to the stable, I went to my room, took off the saddle bag and got my brush. We apologized for disturbing them and gave them four buns which lightened their mood.
I had to bang at the castle gate since it was closed already.
