157 Final Preparation

From the kitchen, I'm heading to the garden to pick some flowers and arrange them into a nice flower bouquet. I pick some flowers with nice color and easy to arrange like roses, peony, lilies and start to make a flower bouquet. After picking the flowers I need for the bouquet, I return to my room to arrange those flowers.

When I arrive at my room, I see Clara and Claire already there. They prepare the suit I will wear when welcoming Earl Stamfort later. It's their duty to prepare my suits when I had to attend an important event.

"Ah, you come just in the right time, Henry….which one you want to wear for welcoming event? This grey suit or the dark blue suit? "

Clara raises the grey suit in her hand while Claire raises the dark blue suit in her hand. Those suits look expensive and made from excellent material. It's something that my previous body owner only use on an important occasion.

"Hmmm…I don't know. Which one do you think suit me better?"

Clara and Claire approaching me and put the suit closer to my body to see which one is most suit to me.

"Mmm…I think they all suit on you, Henry"

"Yeah, like sister Clara said, since you're handsome, any kind of color will suit on you, Henry"

"How sweet…here, take some rewards"

I give Clara and Claire a kiss for their praise. In such a short time we have together today, I should not forget to give them affection although just a kiss.

"Thank you, Henry, …so which one you choose?"

"I think I take the grey one…its red line seems to suit with my hair color. What do you think?"

"Um! I also think so, that's why I pick this suit for you to wear today"

"Oh okay…but I won't wear it now because I still have something else to do. I don't want my suit get wrinkled because of my activities later, it would waste your effort to prepare it if that really happen"

"Mmm…when you will start to wear your suit, Henry? We will help you dressed at that time"

"Hmm…Earl Stamfort's party probably will arrive at noon, so I will start dressing around eleven"

"Okay…we will keep your suit first then"

Clara and Claire put the suit in my wardrobe and then take my boots to polish.

"We leave first to polish your boots, Henry. We want you to look great in front of your fiancé"

"Thanks, girls, you also should look nice when they arrive later. Change your clothes into the best uniform you had and I'll do your hairstyle before start wear my suit"

"Really? Thank you, Henry!"

Well, it's been a while since I do their hairstyle, and since they already taught how to make it I no longer do it. But do hairstyling for my girls once awhile also not a bad idea. Clara and Claire leave my room to polish my boots after left me with a kiss on my cheek. And before they return again, I use this chance to pick my phone and start my daily shopping.

Today, I only buy Worchester soy sauce that usually required to make steak gravy. The taste is slightly different with common soy sauce and I bet that will make a different taste for my steak later, better than previous steak's gravy which made from ordinary soy sauce. After finishing my shopping and retrieve the item from my portable warehouse, I continue my work to make a flower bouquet. It's not a hard thing to do, just arrange the flower according to its shape and color into something look nice. My childhood experience in my previous life when helping my mom make ikebana also contribute much in my flower arrangement skills. After the flower bouquet finishes arranged, I put it on the big vase with water to keep it stay fresh.

Next thing to do is checking preparation in the room where Earl Stamfort will stay during his visit to Harvard territory. I must check all the rooms that prepared for Earl Stamfort and his party, make sure the rooms are clean, neat and tidy. Earl Stamfort will use the VIP room in the middle section of the castle in the second floor while his guards will take rooms in the first floor while my fiancé Celes will get a room in east wing where female residents live, along with my stepmother and sisters. Although it's an easy job, but it consumes considerable time too, it took almost one hour to check every room that we prepared for Earl Stamfort. But when it's over, I can feel ease because all the rooms are well prepared.

After finish checking the last room, my fiancé's room in the east wing, I take this chance to visit my sister room too and see if she already finish prepared. I knock her room to see if she's there.

"Wait a minute"

A woman sound came from inside after I knock the door. I recognize the owner of that sound is Mrs. Marta, my sister's maid, and when the door is open, I see her standing behind the door. She's holding a brush comb in her hand, maybe she's in the middle brushing my sister's hair.

"Good morning Auntie Martha, did my sister ready to welcoming Earl Stamfort arrival?"

"Good morning, young master Henry, miss Eliza almost finish dressing. I'm currently brushing her hair right now, please come inside"

"Thank you, auntie"

Mrs. Martha returns to my sister side and continues her work while I also close the door after entering my sister room. my sister currently sits in a stool near mirror with her hair being brushed by Mrs. Martha. She's already wearing her formal dress gown with light blue color, decorated with some laces on the edge of her gown. I must say she looks elegant and charming, suit with her position as a n.o.ble. She also put some accessories like the brooch, necklace, and earrings on her, which make her looks more beautiful than before.
