Chapter 186: An Important Announcement During a Lovely Dinner (1/2)

Several hours had passed, and Berengar awoke to the soft sensation of the silk dress that covered Adela's thighs, even she had fallen asleep during this time as he rested in her lap pillow. However, it was merely a power nap and not an actual night's rest; as such, Berengar continued to enjoy himself until the moment his fiancee awoke from her slumber.

After a few moments, Adela quietly opened her eyes, where Berengar pretended to be still asleep, realizing that it was nearing time for dinner; Adela began to pet her future husband's golden hair with a smile on her face.

”Wake up, sleepyhead! It is almost time for dinner.”

Being already awake, Berengar was smiling at the loving gesture of Adela before he pretended to wake up slowly. He honestly wished he could enjoy this moment a little longer. However, all good things must come to an end. Thus Berengar rose from the lap pillow and rubbed his eyes.

”How long was I out for?”

Adela, who was also asleep, shook her head as she revealed what she knew.

”I don't know, I also fell asleep, but it must have been a few hours; look at the sun; it has already begun to set!”

Berengar and Adela immediately shifted their view towards the window, which revealed a beautiful sky filled with fluffy clouds; it appeared to be the perfect blend of orange and blue. The sight of which instantly spurred feelings of romance in every couple who stared at its brilliance together, Berengar and Adela were no exception.

However, they could not enjoy its beauty for long, shortly after, they heard a knock at the door, followed by one of the servants announcing that the time for dinner had arrived.

”Berengar, it is dinner time; Count Otto has requested your presence.”

Hearing such news, Berengar got up from his position on the ground and offered a helping hand to Adela. The adolescent girl quickly latched onto it, where Berengar dragged the girl from her knees and into his arms before petting her on the head.

”I suppose it is time to eat.”

Adela stuffed her head into Berengar's chest before muttering in a low voice.

”yeah...”

Afterward, Berengar opened the door, and the servant was already gone; as such, he and Adela inched towards the dining hall while holding hands. When they finally arrived, they realized that they were the last to do so, and as such, quickly sat down in their seats so that the meal no longer waited upon them.

After being brought the dishes for the night, the group said the Lord's prayer before dining into their meals. Otto was aware of the trouble that Ava had caused, but he was not yet aware that she had adequately apologized. As for Wolfgang, he glared menacingly at Berengar, and yet Berengar paid no heed to his malicious gaze.

Ava was quite worried; even though Berengar had claimed he accepted her apology, she had no idea what kind of favor he may ask of her in the future; because of her fear of the unknown, she seldom looked toward's Berengar and Adela's direction.

As for Berengar and Adela, they were smiling happily, like a loving couple on their honeymoon. They had squashed their relationship problems before they turned into something serious, and as such, were in exceptionally high spirits on this fine evening.

The Countess noticed Adela's good mood and quickly commented on it, with a charming smile on her face.

”You two seem to be unusually happy this evening. Did something happen between you two?”

Count Otto was also quite curious; as far as he was aware earlier in the day, Ava had seemed to cause a severe rift between the young couple, but now they were chatting and giggling like a couple of teenage brats who were in love for the first time in their lives.  Well, he supposed for Adela that was most certainly the case, Berengar on the other hand, not so much.
