Chapter 408: The New House

Gastone sighed deeply while pulling the blinds from the window, making the carriage darken inside, but he could still see. He gazed at his mate and wondered about what Draco had stated. It hurts his pride to listen to Draco, but he was willing to try for Lucia’s sake.

"Can I take them off now?" Lucia asked softly. She was getting uncomfortable wearing the blindfold for long.

"Ah, yes," Gastone replied and pulled the blindfold away. He was met with Lucia’s grey eyes that made his heartbeat skip.

"Huh?" Lucia rubbed her eyes to adjust to the darkness.

"Ah, we will arrive soon," Gastone stated awkwardly and turned to the side.

Lucia’s scent emitted inside the tight space between them and made Gastone’s wolf go crazy, but no matter how it tried to find its mate, he found none.

"Umm, Mister... I want to know your name," Lucia asked and pursed her lips while fidgeting with her fingers.

"Ah... I haven’t told you, haha," Gastone gulped, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. "My name is Gastone V— You can call me Gastone," he stated softly.

Gastone nearly said the last name that wasn’t his and somehow, he got bitter.

"What a nice name you have. Thank you for helping me," Lucia whispered genuinely. It was the first time someone showed her kindness, which made her teared up.

"No need to thank me repeatedly," Gastone shook his head. He wanted Lucia to be comfortable around him, but he felt as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

"Oh, okay," Lucia looked down and continued to play with her fingers.

Silence engulfed the carriage as they were busy with their own thoughts.

"Umm, do you know any place where I can find work?" Lucia asked. She was persistent in being independent so she could stand on her own feet rather than rely on Gastone.

"Hmm," Gastone hummed and rubbed his chin in deep thought. He had many solutions in mind, but couldn’t do them unless he was in royalty. He sighed and realized the hardship of those who didn’t have much freedom in their lives.

"Well, what are you good at? Perhaps I can find something suitable for your skills?" Gastone asked to get information. He was also curious about Lucia.

"Uhhh," Lucia looked sideways and seemed conflicted. "Pleasu— Cooking! I meant Cooking, or baking!" she exclaimed loudly. She shook her head aggressively and patted her cheeks, which made Gastone confused.

"Alright, I understand. Then do you want to cook for me? I don’t think I have a chef there," Gastone stated while mumbling the last words. He could hire some personnel and work under him like when he was still a Prince since Draco didn’t take his riches. Although, Gastone wanted to save money.

Cinzia made a legal document of giving half of her property to Gastone if something happened. Aside from that, Gastone had his own properties that weren’t confiscated when his Prince title was taken. He used that money to live in the human world, but soon, he realized if he didn’t try saving, he would be poor.

But Gastone was willing to spend money on Lucia.

"Really!?" Lucia’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Gastone’s hand and clasped them together to show how thankful she was.

"Yes," Gastone replied and looked at their hands. He was dazed at how their skin was in contact, but he felt no spark. His excitement died down, and he pulled his hands away.

"Thank you! Mister Gastone!" Lucia exclaimed with delight while trying her best to hide her pain after she felt rejected by Gastone’s actions.

After that conversation, they didn’t talk, and the awkwardness increased, which made it suffocating, especially with Lucia.

After 30 minutes, the carriage stopped, and the door opened.

"Lord, we have arrived," Ferro greeted and lowered his head.

Gastone went out and unconsciously lent a hand to Lucia.

Lucia was confused but took Gastone’s hand. She was new to the gesture and went along. At the same time, she felt butterflies in her stomach at how gentle Gastone was with her.

"We’re here," Gastone stated and stared at the house. It was his first time seeing it, and the place was surrounded by tall trees, but he knew they were still in Sabrecrown.

"Woah," Lucia was in awe. Her smile could reach her ears while looking around.

At the entrance of the house were two knights to guard Gastone, but they were dressed in commoner’s clothes in disguise.

"Sir Ferro, are you staying with us?" Gastone asked and glanced at the old man.

"I’m only here to accompany you to your new house, Lord, but I’ll be returning to the Pa— yeah," Ferro didn’t bother lying since he knew Gastone understood his words.

"Alright... T-thank you," Gastone whispered before dragging Lucia with him away from Ferro.

Ferro raised an eyebrow. He was surprised Gastone acted kind after being an assh0le for years.

The two knights unloaded their stuff and put them by the entrance. They were Draco’s loyal Knights and were instructed to act like civilians and leave the couple alone. Their job was to ensure Gastone wouldn’t do anything suspicious from afar.

Gastone opened the door and revealed a simple-looking house that a normal average wolf lived in. He glanced at Lucia and noticed the sparkle in her eyes.

"Well, here we are. Please make yourself comfortable," Gastone stated and took his stuff along with a few bags for Lucia’s clothes. He went upstairs and checked the room while letting Lucia explore the house.

Gastone felt as if they were a couple that moved into a home to be together.

"This place is amazing!" Lucia exclaimed and moved around the living room to the kitchen. She checked the working place and noticed some resources were already in stock.

"I guess I can think of something to cook for lunch," Lucia thought and started rummaging on the cabinet to check for the supplies.

On the other hand, Gastone dropped his stuff while looking at the door next to his room. "You got to be kidding me..." he whispered and opened the doorway to reveal another room.

The arrangement was similar to a noble couple’s room and that made Gastone a little awkward and hoped Lucia was fine with it. He was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw his mate looking at him.

"Oh, Lucia, you’re here," Gastone said and forced a smile. He was confused about how he didn’t hear any sound coming from Lucia.

"Hi, I’m just wondering what you like to eat for lunch?" Lucia asked and entered the room. Her eyes gazed at the open door against the wall. "Is that my room?" she asked.

"Yes, don’t worry. I can lock the entrance," Gastone stated and showed Lucia the key. He was fine with a completely separate room to give Lucia privacy, but most of all, he didn’t want to be labelled as a creep.

"Oh, there’s no need for that. I’ll be okay," Lucia waved her hand and showed a bright smile. "Also, about our lunch..." she added, waiting for Gastone’s answer.

Gastone rummaged around his bag and pulled out a packet of sandwiches he brought with him to snack on. "Will this be fine? I would prefer you to get some rest," he stated and handed Lucia one.

"Thank you!" Lucia smiled and took a bite, savoring the taste before sitting on the nearby chair.

Both of them silently ate their lunch together when Lucia broke the silence.

"I hope I’m not disturbing you, Mister... Gastone," Lucia muttered. She remembered how Ferro called Gastone a Lord and was confused about it.

"No, you’re not," Gastone replied and continued eating.

"I heard you are called a Lord. Are you a noble?" Lucia asked curiously, which made Gastone choke on the bread.

"I-I... *cough* I," Gastone continued coughing, but he didn’t know what to reply. He learned that in the human world had their own leaders that ruled the country, so he wasn’t surprised that Lucia would ask about his title.

"It’s okay if you’re not going to tell me. I just want to know how to address you," Lucia stated and looked down.

"Call me by my name, Gastone. No need for a title," Gastone replied and looked away. He sighed deeply and finished the last bite of his sandwich before standing up. "I should put your clothes in your room. We can go buy some necessities tomorrow," he stated before walking out.

"O-okay," Lucia replied innocently and watched Gastone. When he was out of her sight, she leaned back and flopped the sandwich on the table. Her innocent and bright personality vanished.

Lucia’s cheeks turned red as her hand glided toward her p^ssy. She spread her legs wide enough to have her hand between her legs.

"Ah, I’m so h0rny," Lucia muttered and rubbed her cl1t. She had been suppressing her arousal and wanted a release, but before she could build up her pleasure, she heard Gastone’s footsteps coming back.
