NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2.1
A fortnight after that. I woke up early in the morning and arrived in front of the carriage with tremendous vitality.
I’ve been waiting for this day since I heard the workers were will setting up the ranch today.
Perhaps it’s because of that. Even though I’m not reached there yet, my heart still feels like it’s going to burst.
‘Ah, I love this feeling!’
“I need to get out of here as soon as possible.”
But Freesia’s father cut me off in my tracks.
“You’re leaving right now.”
“Yes!”
“Alright. If you insist on going there, there is nothing I can do.”
“Then Mom! Dad! I’ll go now!”
I didn’t hesitate to say that.
I’ve been waiting for this moment.
‘I’ll stay there forever! Don’t ever come to see me again!’, but I can’t say that aloud.
I hugged Mom and Dad, who loved Freesia more than anyone else.
“You have to be careful.”
“If there’s anything, be sure to write me a letter.”
“I will!”
That was the end of the greeting.
I was scared that my father might change his thoughts after some days.
I avoid hastily evading their affectionate look.
Then, I sat down with excitement.
It was a little suspicious to see my older brother, who pretended to take the liver out of the
body to stop me from going, but in fact, I didn’t even care about such a trivial thing.
It was essential to leave.
“Let’s go! To my ranch!”
Clattering-(SFX)
The horse begins to run calmly.
As soon as I heard the start signal, I jumped out of the window and waved vigorously at the people of the duke’s house.
I raised my head out the window as soon as I heard the sound of horses hooves and waved frantically at the inhabitants of the Duke’s House.
Yes, once the sheep are adequately raised, I will also buy a foal or pony.
My heart is full of ambition.
The carriage arrived at its destination two days later.
I couldn’t rest or sleep properly, so I felt fatigued, but I was super excited.
The face of Freesia looking through the mirror I saw just before getting off was even sparkling.
If you live doing what you want to do, people’s faces change so much. [she meant a satisfied face or happy face.]
Considering that her pretty face darkened day by day after I become Freesia, it was a dramatic change.
“Hello, Miss. I’m Jade, the former owner of this ranch.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Jade!”
When I got off the carriage, the former rancher was out to greet me.
Instead of receiving a kiss on the back of his hand as a courtesy to Lady, I shook hands with
Mr. Jade vigorously.[lol now her family will detach the hand from his body.]
Confused at the entirely different appearance from what he had imagined, he blinked.
Quickly and then quickly avoided my gaze.
“Actually, this is the land I inherited from my grandfather and managed it… Now it’s owned by the young lady.”
“My Lady. It’s a great land!”
I looked around, feeling the warmth spreading through my chest.
The ridge at the time of the sunset is looking magnificent.
The wind was blowing gently, and the grass was swaying at the same time.
A fairly large stream of water flowed from the top of the ridge, and in front of the mansion, a stream of water derived from the mainstream was flowing.
There were tall walnut trees around.
After gazing at this spectacular view, even an emperor will feel envy.
“This walnuts ripen in the autumn and fall off the tree. Salmon glides upwards in the river.”
“Wow…!”
What a perfect condition.
A little late, but I was very grateful that the family I possessed was a duke.
I had no idea how expensive a ranch with such good conditions would be.
“We’ve stocked up on everything you need. If you’re short on something, you can write it down here in this mailbox.”
“Thank you for your consideration. Now, shall we meet my sheep first?”
“Huh, what do you mean by sheep first…? “
“Of course I have to meet them first. We’re a family.”
I already made up my mind, so there was no hesitation.
Mr. Jade was amazed at my words and headed towards me.
Mr. Jade, who followed me, seemed surprised several times just today.
“Miss, this way!”
Mr. Jade led me to the location of the
sheepfold
.
His feet wandered around for a long time as if he had lost his way.
Finally, after I urged him again, Mr. Jade headed to the sheepfold.
“The sheepfold is very sturdy. Even if the sheep are startled, they won’t be able to break the cage and run away.”
Seeing me happy to see the sheepfold, a kind smile spread on Mr. Jade’s face.
“Is it new roof? the sheeppen, fences, and water is neat and clear.”
Touching the whole place with my bare hands, I straightened my back and raised my head.
Even if it rains, a strong pole frame catches the eye, as if a drop of water does not leak.
It seemed safe even if snow piled up due to heavy snow.
“You said truth. It’s sturdy.”
“But you seemed to going through a hard time .”
“The ranch is like my child and I will not handover it just to anyone. But now..”
Saying Mr. Jade grinned
Every corner of this sheep pen was perfect.
I thought I could just roll up and sleep on the haystacks which were piled up here.
“The sheeps are also very healthy. Are these the children Mr. Jade originally raised?”
“Yes, I have the mother sheep and I have chosen five of them as the prettiest to them to the young lady.”
Inside, I was anxious to hug the sheep, but I persevered and looked inside the pen.
If you hold that fluffy and cute lamb in your arms, your heart will melt away.
‘But now I have to stay in limit!’
Eventually, unable to bear it, I stomped my feet and ran towards the lambs.
‘Cute–!’
Fluffy fur as if cotton candy had been dropped on the ground.
If I put my nose inside it, it feels like I can smell the warm sunlight inside.
A shiver ran through my body. [T/N- That’s new. Aside from fear, most Female lead’s shivers ran through when the male lead’s tried to seduce them.]
‘Lovely-…..!’
So I got distracted by the lambs.
