Chapter 47: Chapter 47

But Charlotte didn’t think Carcel would accept the offer so easily.

He’s a noble, and this is the Duke’s garden, it would be absurd that something like this was made in the garden that not anyone could enter.

That was her suggestion, she who lived in Korea could have done it.

Charlotte came up with the idea thinking Carcel might make fun of her.

But Carcel nodded.

“Okay, I’ll ask the gardener to get ready.”

“… Really?”

Charlotte’s voice was confused.

“Yes, is there a problem ?”

“No! No problem! All right!”

Charlotte, who screamed quickly, realized what she had done, and her face turned red.

“I said that because I had no idea the Duke would be willing to give me permission, thank you, Duke.”

“It’s nothing .”

“Then I’ll stop and go now, it took longer than I expected.”

She was only going to talk about Theo, but she ate a meal contrary to what she had planned. Charlotte got up from where Carcel was and gently left the office.

Carcel glanced at Charlotte’s back as she walked away. The words he wanted to say ‘to stay longer’ remained in his closed mouth.

Carcel looked at the empty plate and fell into thoughts. Contrary to telling Robert to eat because she was hungry, she only ate one piece of a peach.

Even a fool would know this. It wasn’t that she was hungry, but that she was taking care of him.

He wasn’t lying when he said he had eaten a light supper, he had eaten one piece of fruit at four o’clock in the evening.

There might be an argument that this isn’t dinner but at least he didn’t lie.

But Charlotte noticed that he did not eat dinner properly and even ordered a snack for him. She could clearly see that he was lying.

Carcel does not like to lie. It is a matter of trust.

The moment the lie deceives the head of the family, it can control the fate of the entire family.

But Charlotte’s lie was good. So Carcel ate the sandwich without questioning her and asking her why she only had one peach.

‘Take it easy. Get enough rest to improve your work efficiency. Since I’m next to Theo anyway, the Duke could come home a little late.’

Carcel thought lightly, remembering Charlotte’s worried voice.

“Robert.”

“Yes sir .”

“Tell Ron to do a field work for Theo to take care of.”

Ron was the gardener who oversaw the gardens of Heinst Palace.

“Yes, I’ll tell him that.”

Carcel got up after hearing Robert’s answer. His feet naturally headed to the office where there were papers piled up. That’s because there were some documents he didn’t check before Charlotte came.

Suddenly, Carcel, who was normally holding the pen, flinched. He turned his head and looked toward the door where Charlotte had left.

-Take some rest.

Charlotte’s voice remained stuck inside his head. Finally, Carcel put the pen he was holding on the table and headed toward his bedroom.

***

The gardener had been busy since morning because of Carcel’s instructions.

The place Carcel gave Theo was a small plot of land in the corner of the garden. At the same time it was a place where the flowers had withered, which were not in season, and had been uprooted and had been but an empty plot of land.

Carcel agreed at once, but Charlotte was worried about how the gardener would act.

Growing vegetables in a garden where flowers should be grown. I wondered if it could hurt the gardener’s self-esteem.

Fortunately, Ron the gardener said, ‘I’ve been thinking of growing it again, but a vegetable field would be a better idea.’ He was very supportive of this project.

Thanks to this, the project (creating a garden for Theo) proceeded quickly.

Charlotte watched the progress from time to time as she sat by the window overlooking the garden.

When the servants and Ron plowed with agricultural implements and dug a place to dig the seeds, I grabbed Theo’s hand and went out into the garden.

Knowing nothing, Theo was excited to play in the garden. Charlotte let go of Theo’s hand, but Theo said to her, “Sister, hold Theo’s hand!” Charlotte grabbed the hand of the child who was about to run.

“Theo, you’re going to play a fun game with Sister today.”

Fortunately, Theo showed interest.

“Fun game ?”

“Yes, come here.”

However, Theo looked puzzled when Charlotte took him to an empty space devoid of anything.

Why I am here ? Why is there nothing? Why is there a strange man here?

“Ah, young master!”

Theo hid behind Charlotte as soon as Ron the gardener pretended to know him. His little hands were clutching the hem of the dress as if he wanted Charlotte to save him.

“My face isn’t scary, but I think Young Master is afraid. Everything is ready, so I’m leaving for a while so Young Master can play. The seeds are there, so you can take them out.”

“Yes, thank you .”

“It’s okay, of course I have to. If you need anything please summon me.”

Only after the gardener had completely disappeared did Theo stick his head out from behind Charlotte’s skirt.

Charlotte took out a fist-sized pocket bag from the box the gardener had pointed out. What was in it was just peas.

Theo, who shook his head to see if there was a toy inside, was upset as soon as he saw that it was just a pea.

Charlotte picked up a pea and gently shook it in front of the child’s eyes to get his attention again.

“Theo, are you playing pea farming today?”

“Peas?”

“Yeah.”

Charlotte dropped the peas into a pre-drilled hole. Then I covered it with soil with a shovel and put it well.

Theo, who was squatting beside Charlotte and watching closely, reached for the bag.

It was on his mind: ‘I can’t believe I can drop peas without getting scolded!’ It looked fun.

“Sister! Theo too-“

“Okay, Theo try.”

Charlotte put the peas in Theo’s hand. Theo looked at her for a moment and dropped a pea on the ground.

His movement was similar to his movement in a restaurant, but what followed was a compliment.

“Wow, good job Theo!”

huh? You got a compliment?

Theo’s face warmed up with joy. In addition, it seemed like a game of growing peas was fun to him.

He squatted down and shoveled the soil, it was more like digging than covering the soil, but Charlotte was ready to let it go.

It didn’t matter whether Theo did a good job or not. It is important for the child to be interested.

Theo planted beans so hard to get praise. Plant a carrot the size of a child’s finger n next to it a potato plant, and next to it a tomato seed.

Theo was bad at covering the soil. In fact, Charlotte was not a skilled person. Just because Lannia’s estate mainly does farming, it doesn’t mean that she does it herself.

Ron, who was hiding in the field that had been damaged due to not covering the soil properly, appeared and cleaned up the place.

Theo was no longer scared of Ron because he knew he had arranged his game.

“What do we do now?”

Asked Theo, looking at Charlotte with a look of anticipation.

I grabbed the child’s hand and headed towards the water faucet. I filled a small watering can, the size of a child’s hand.

“Let’s go and water these seeds.”

“Yes!”

Theo nodded, raised the watering can and groaned. Although it was small, it was much more heavy than he had imagined.

Theo’s body staggered as he walked the jug, and spots of water could be seen along the path he was walking because water was falling from him.

Charlotte walked closely behind Theo. When the child’s body staggered for a moment, I quickly grabbed his shoulder.

Theo put down the watering can and looked behind him.

“Sister! Thank you.”

“Theo, if he’s heavy, would sister do that for you?”

“No!”

Theo shook his head and picked up the watering jug again. Although he stumbled, he did not fall and reached the field safely.

Theo leaned his watering can on the ground where he planted the beans. A cold stream of water flowed through the holes. At first glance, a rainbow shone over the stream of water touched by sunlight.

Theo, who had just thrown out the watering pot, which had already been emptied, looked at the wet soil and shivered with excitement. His face became as red as a ripe tomato.

“Sister! Look at that!”

Theo pointed to the field. Charlotte wiped the sweat off his forehead and gave him the compliments he wanted.

“Did Theo do all this himself? Well done.”

“Yes!”

Excited, Theo took his empty watering can and went to the tap to water the roots, potatoes, and tomatoes.

Asked Theo after all the field had been watered.

“Sister, when will it grow up?”

“After sleeping for the night.”

“One night ?”

Theo opened his mouth in astonishment. Charlotte smiled purposefully as she looked at Ron, the gardener, who was overseeing the field.

That night. The excited Theo went to dreamland.

Ron the gardener and the servants were busy wandering by the field which Theo carefully watered during the day.

Charlotte stood in the corner watching them, then entered the room with a satisfied look on her face.
