FreeNovelErin waited for another two classes, but Lulu still did not show up. After classes were over and she headed to the castle, she found Lulu and Irene having tea in the garden just as she expected. The weather was good, and it was just right for them to stay beneath the tree shade. She smiled and made her way over. "Hey, Irene." Irene quickly beckoned when she was here. "Come, sit." Lulu was surprised that Irene and Erin knew each other, especially since she was not familiar with the latter.
Irene introduced her. "She's Isaac's sister." Lulu smiled. "What a coincidence." Erin smiled politely in return. "Yes, though I realized yesterday." While Lulu appeared surprised, Erin explained, "James was the one who arranged for your lodging." Irene added, "James is her husband.” As Lulu realized with a start, Irene had a servant bring Erin a glass of juice.

"You spoil him too much," Irene told her disapprovingly.
Erin simply shrugged.
Tommy took her to the fish pond, where there were several imported species of fish swimming around.

"Yeah," Irene replied-Erin was genuinely kind. "She might not be related to Isaac but blood, but she considers him a brother nonetheless." "I'm surprised he accepted her," Lulu commented. "He always looks so cold." "That he is," Irene said. "Doesn't mean he's heartless." "Getting defensive already?" Lulu grinned. "I haven't started badmouthing him yet!"
