The Duke, who only closed his eyes for a moment, put his hand over Chloe’s head.
“It is I who should be ashamed of how I treated you two. You are my… You are both Yona and my pride. You’ve done well, Chloe.’
‘….’
Chloe cast her eyes down and lent on the chest of his father. The duke did not embrace his child in the same tenderness as the lodging mistress did. However, he held his daughter’s trembling shoulders firm and bid his goodbye to the daughter who shall part with him for a while.
‘I shall write letters, father.’
‘Of course, be well.’
The precepts of convents are harsh and strict. While it allows the inhabitants themselves to send gifts and letters to the outside, they are on the otherhand, strictly forbidden to be on the receiving end.
Now, the lady was exchanging words of goodbye to those who will be returning to the capital, which will soon include Leddorio, who upon realizing this, felt restless and fidgety. He couldn’t find which words to part his former fiancée with. The latter’s behavior in the lodging house was too normal,(which is to say, she treats people normally, as opposed to her previous self, which is to mention, a different individual) and on the contrary, it made it more difficult for him to approach her.
‘Sir Leddorio, I wish to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly apologize for all the troubles I had caused.’
Suddenly, the lady called out to him without so much a warning, putting the prince’s heart on the struggle to break free from his chest. Chloe was already standing in front of him before he even noticed, and he could almost find himself scolding her for the lady’s abruptness.
‘I don’t particularly mind, anymore. So—’
‘Of course, you don’t. We are no longer fiancees after all.’
As the prince struggled to speak the end of his second sentence, the interrupting words of the lady had struck his heart. The one who ended their engagement was Leddorio, himself; even if Chloe was the principal cause, and even if, it managed to stand on the consent of the sacred church. Still,
(That’s not something to mention with such a smile!)
‘When I return to the capital, I hope that we would be able to form a much more favorable relationship this time around. I bid you well, sir.’
‘Well, Ah guess we hafta go now. Be well, all uh yous.’
Bowing her head lightly once more, Chloe smiled wryly as she pulled Momo, who was still waving her hands to the gentlemen to the very end, and headed to the coach where Shin awaits them both.
The engagement of the lady and the prince which lasted for seven years could not be called short. Leddorio spent most of those seven years wishing to severe it. Yet, Lady Chloe cut off her distorted feelings of him so sudden and abrupt, felt to the prince too arbitrary, and could hardly find himself any joy in it.
‘Now then, we must part to the capital too. I need you brother, as well as the others, to do mountainous of things for me there.’
Keith, his younger brother, cut off his sentimental moment, as he played around with a single envelope.
‘What is that envelope? What are you planning to have us do?’
‘Well, I need your cooperation to fulfill Lady Chloe’s wish. And in this envelope, lies the very wish list.’
The gentlemen swallowed a breath and showered all their attention towards the lone envelope. The younger prince was all cheerful; devious smile plastered on his face from ear to ear.
