Chapter: 1026

From above, it looked very shallow, but when she dipped her hand, the water was deeper than she thought.

No matter how much she stretched out her hand, her fingertips barely reached the grass.

“Ugh…….”

Seeing Gretel put her hand in the water and struggle, Fritz sighed and smiled as he drew closer.

“Let me help you.”

“Yes?”

Fritz casually went down the promenade.

He put his hand in and pulled out the grass, not caring that his clothes were getting wet.

“Is it okay to pull it out like this?”

“Yes yes. You can just pull it out. Thank you.”

Fritz wrapped the grass in a handkerchief and handed it to her, and she received it in a bewildered mood.

Obviously, he was just being polite to a lady, but somehow she felt a part of her heart tickled.

‘Is it because I’ve never been close to a high-ranking nobleman?’

Maybe it’s because I’ve never been treated like a lady by such a wonderful man.

Far from being treated as a lady, from a young age she wandered here and there with her mother and experienced only dangerous things.

She must have felt strange to be treated like a lady all of a sudden after living such a life.

Of course, she knew deep down that it wasn’t just because of that.

Even if Frtiz’s father, who was also a duke, treated her the way Fritz did, she wouldn’t be this nervous at all.

Rather, it would be creepy.

‘Even if it was another young nobleman like Sir Seibel or Lyndon……. I’m sure I wouldn’t feel this way.’

The two walked along the promenade again along the lake shore.

The full moon shining in the dark sky illuminates the rippling lake, beautifying the shade of the quiet night.

Ferries laden with goods shuttle endlessly on the lake, cutting through the deep blue water.

The lanterns hanging over the ferries were dimly illuminating the deep darkness.

It was a romantic landscape that seemed to come out of a painting.
