Chapter 89: Date
The sunlight fell from the sky to the ground as a new day began within the Lionheart Dukedom, the city was bustling with life as a new day had began, currently all the people were heading out of their house to their jobs
The streets was filled with life and laughter, displaying how developed and well the Duchy was running
Right now I had just entered the streets, right beside me stood a woman with brown hair and eyes, she was dressed in a blue one piece dress with a necklace on her neck, the woman seems to reek with gentleness and grace
Yup its my mother, I had convinced her that I wanted this to be a secret outing without anybody knowing who we are, in fact I too am in a disguise, right now I have red hair and eyes, looking a bit handsome
I looked to my mother who was still silent, even though she seemed normal when I met her today, I could still feel a sense of awkwardness from her, up until now she has been silent
Seeing that she was still unresponsive, I moved quickly and grabed her left hand with my right, causing her to look at me, she tried to pull her arm away, a sense of panic filling her
What are you doing son?
I put on a sad and depressed face, a hint of sadness filled my voice as I spoke, looking directly into Graces eyes
Shouldnt I be the one asking that!?

My voice became a bit high pitched as I continued to speak, causing Grace to look startled
I thought that we could spend some time happily, I just wanted to decrease the load on you, I thought that maybe I could make you happy today
Yet even since the morning you were not at all focused mother, you dont even look happy mother, could it be that you dont want to spend your time with me?
As I finished speaking my voice became hoa.r.s.e, while my expression was pitiful, anybody who would look at me now would feel pity
Graces expression s.h.i.+fted from startled to shame to sadness, she shook her head as she looked at me again
Your right, I am sorry son, it seems that I was not paying any attention to you today but dont worry I am better now, lets enjoy the rest of the day!!
A smile came upon Graces face as she finished speaking, seeing that my sad expression s.h.i.+fted, a smile too same up on my face as I spoke again
Thats great but mother dont call me son outside call me Austin, todays our date, I dont want it to be ruined by someone else hearing you call me that
But I-
I know that you thought of this as a picnic but I just want you to enjoy today, so for that from now onwards we are lovers, I will call you Grace and you would call me Austin, got it?
Grace got another shook from hearing my words but just as she was about to reject it I spoke again
Cmon mother, no one here knows us, plus I want today to be special or are you unwilling to fulfill such a small request of mine Grace?
I had moved my body closer to her as I spoke the words Grace, earning a tremble from her, which I felt from my hand
Bu-But
No buts, lets just enjoy ourselves today, shall we?
As I spoke, I moved forward pulling Grace along with me, giving her no chance to decline my offer, I could hear Grace sighing behind me, just accepting the situation
We continued to walk along the roads looking to the sides, the gentle atmosphere in the streets seemed to bring the awkwardness between us down a bit
I can see that the Duchy has developed more
Its all thanks to the many ideas you sent me over the letter, who would have thought you would be a genius in administration
Hearing my mothers praise I couldnt help but shake my head, it was not that hard anyway, currently we were walking on the outer circle near the commoners area, seeing my desired location, I quickly pulled Grace to the dressing shop
Were are we going?
First shopping
With that we entered the medium sized shop with 2 floors, as we entered inside, an attendant walked towards us with a professional smile
What can I do for you today?
I would like some matching dresses for my lover here
As I spoke the word lover I could see a small blush come upon Graces face, at the same time I felt a pinch on my stomach
The attendant looked between us and smiled before leading us to the upper floors, at the same time Grace sneaked up behind and spoke with suppressed anger
What was that?
What was what?
Why did you say that we were lovers?
Then what else was I supposed to say?
I could see it on my mothers face that she really wanted to beat me up now, it only worsened after she saw my smirk
How about these sir?
The attendant called out to us as she showed us many collection of clothes, there was a smile on her face seeing our couple fight, I turned to Grace as I spoke
Why dont you check these all out Grace, after all you promised to be with me today
I stressed the word promise, causing Grace to grimace before she agreed, I took a few dress giving it to Grace before pus.h.i.+ng her to the locker room.
