Chapter 21 Horseback riding 1 (1/2)

After taking a bath I walked towards the dining hall. I was not far from the door when I saw a familiar young man standing right next to it.

It was Leon. He was looking regal while wearing his black casual knight's uniform. He was looking so handsome just by standing there.

Then Leon glanced my way. He gave me his bright smile that I loved so much. I blushed instantly while remembering what happened last night.

”Good morning Alicia.” Leon greeted me with a smile.

”G-Good morning Leon.” I greeted back. I can feel my cheeks burning.

Leon looked at me eagerly and smiled. He touched my cheeks and gently caressed it.

”You look so beautiful today.” Leon said sweetly. And I felt my cheeks burn even more.

Leon chuckled. ”Let's go inside. I'm sure you are hungry.”

I simply nodded.

Leon took my hand and held it within his. He ushered me inside the dining room.

Inside, the dishes were prepared on the table. Breakfast today consists of bacon and eggs with buttered toasts. I look at it rather confused.

”What is it?” Leon asked. ”Is it not to your liking?”

”Um no, it's not that.” I replied. ”It's just the food looks extravagant.”

I was a little surprised. The food in the past few days have been good and extravagant. In the past they have only served me food that was cold and looked like left overs.

”Of course. Now that I am here I will make sure that the food you eat will have the right nutrients for your body.” Leon said. ”You are rather thin and pale. I don't know what they have been serving you in the past. But now you need to add on some weight and I want your skin to be rosy.”

”Thank you.” I said with a smile. I started to eat my breakfast.

”After breakfast I will tell Tricia to prepare your outfit for horseback riding lessons.” Leon said. ”I will prepare the horses shortly.”
