Catalina's POV:

It was 3 hours had passed when I had dusted at least 5 bookshelves as once in a while, I had a difficult time reaching the higher ones

Right now I am dusting the 7th shelf where I was so focused on my work that I didn't notice that I had bumped into someone

I gasped when I dropped my dusting broom as someone dropped his book as well

"I'm so sorry sir, I didn't see you." I apologized

"Here let me help you, miss." He kneeled down to grab the dusting broom

I smiled grateful for his help before watching him pick up his book

I silently gasped, remembering that he was His Grace, the soon to be the Duke

Before I curtsied to him making him nervous "Your Grace..."

He nervously chuckled setting the book on the nearby shelf before we shared a moment of looking at each other's eyes

The more moments I looked at his eyes, his smile, and his hair for some reason I began smiling at him while my heart was doing the same way

Unknown to me, he too was in awe of my beauty, from my smile to my eyes, he began smiling at me, while his heart was feeling something he wasn't aware of

"My lady...." He smiled giving me a bow which my cheeks changing color to pink

As we were having a moment for the first time, Aramina entered the library and smiled seeing this as she was always a romantic before deciding to exit the library to have some more private time

We continued looking into each other's eyes as we smiled before he cleared his throat, composing himself causing me to look down, grabbing the dusting brush

He grabbed his book, his notes of papers, and his quill, before looking at me "I hope that I'll see you once more, ma belle fleur." He smiles at me, causing me to smile at him, nodding at him

Then he began leaving the library as I gave him one last curtsied then watched him close the library doors

Remembering the moment that I just shared with him, made me smile as my heart continued to flutter more

Hopefully, I have an explanation for my heart is fluttering more soon but furthermore, I have to continue dusting the books in here

Nighttime:

It was nighttime where I sighed in tired after being able to finish dusting the entire library

I left the library to meet up with Cor who like me is also exhausted from her duties for today

We exited the castle as we saw Miette was waiting for us outside of the doors which Corinne and I smiled at her before we see the three girls now wearing clean clothes after what happened today

Then the five of us and Miette walked down the castle steps before we turned to face them

"Well, good night." Corinne waves her hand at the three girls

"Hope that you have good sleep....." I smiled at them earning their attention

Then we turned to look at the empty streets, causing her to side-hug me as I appreciated it while we were unsure about this

Aramina notices our expressions, briefly glancing at Viveca and then back at us

"Do you not have a place to stay, Corinne, Catalina?" Aramina asked us with concern

We looked back at her then Rinne answered "Uh, no." She shook her head

"But we're sure, Catalina, Miette and I will think of something." Cor continues, waving her arms upwards

"But you don't need to worry about it Aramina...." I said

But Miette meowed scared of the thought of Corinne and I would sleep in the street

Aramina looks at her friends, "We cannot allow these poor girls..." Aramina began convincing them, her left arm motioned to us, glancing at us

Then, she looked back at her friends "to roam the streets at night at the mercy of strangers" She arm motions then looked away in a dramatic manner "That would be most tragic."

She opened her eyes, lowered her arm down, and looked back at her friends. "I insist they stay with us." Aramina suggested

But Viveca was hesitant of Aramina's suggestion "I don't know." She hesitated, shaking her head

When she looked down at Miette who walked towards her, purring and gave her a cute meowing

She was smitten with Miette's adorable self as she kneed down

"Oh, te sha fore." Viveca smiles in awe causing Miette to smiled at her

She began explaining as Aramina looked at her, Renee has her arms on her waist

"We do have two extra beds now that Constance is gone." Viveca stated, looking at her friends, placing her right hand on her waist

When Renee looked at her then walked towards us

"Do either of you have money, Corinne? Catalina?" Renee questions, her hand outwards in a offering manner

Before I looked down at my pocket where I grabbed 2 crowns from the pouch that Mother gave us

Then I handed the money to her hand which Renee looks at the money, considering

Before she looks at us "One week." Renee informed, raising her index finger out

Then she walked back to her friends and Aramina smiled at this

"Then it is settled, you two will stay with us," Aramina smiles, clasping her hands of the happy moment

"Come you two." Aramina hand motion to her direction

I smiled at that just like Corinne's before I looked at the fountain ⛲️ along with Corinne's gaze

And we see Renee's bo stuck on the Cupid statue

After what happened earlier, the least we could do for Renee is retrieving her bo for her violin

"Catalina and I need to take care of something." Corinne informs her, motioning her head in the streets' direction

"Don't worry Aramina, we'll meet up with you later." I reassure her

Before Corrine and I went to the fountain ⛲️, with Miette following us while the three girls walked to their home

After heading to the fountain ⛲️ which Corinne gave me a boost up to the Cupid 💘 statue, so I can retrieve Renee's Bo but it struggles for a minute then I smiled getting it unstuck

"Got it, Rinne." I smiled causing her to smiled, setting me down

"Nice let's give this back to her." Cor smiled before we started walking to the maids house

It took about 10 minutes of walking when I opened the door, letting us inside

We heard her talking "They're just another country girls, who won't last a week, in the city," We heard her judging us as we walked towards her

"A-hem." Corinne cleared her throat causing her to look up starting

When I handed her the bo, "We thought that you needed it... especially after what happened," I said before Corrine and I look at each other

"Goodnight Catalina," Corinne, yawned. bid me good night

I was also sleepy but was able to hear her

When we walked to our beds as I yawned "good night Corinne." I smiled

Where I was getting in my bed, loving how this bed could remain me of a princess

I smiled getting under the covers and begun sleeping

But after what happened in the library and meeting His Grace, could be a representation of something amazing
