Episode 37: Try For Your Happiness

His golden hair pouring like daylight distracted my eyes. Seeing him at the hours of darkness of the evening, he was such a noble and neat man, and beneath the colourful chandelier he was such a shiny man.

“Lord France.”

As I barely known as his title, the inexperienced eyes gazing me curled. I had such a wierd feeling, I felt like he was very distant despite the fact that he was proper in entrance of me.

“…….”

“…….”

Whereas our eyes met, no phrases got here and went. Within the noisy banquet corridor, the silence continued solely between the 2 of us.

By the point the quiet silence felt a bit of burdensome, his arm, which was firmly supporting my again, slipped off.

“You look wholesome.”

Taking a step away from me, he stated in a neat voice.

“Your smile has grow to be far more stunning.”

Is it a ordinary greeting like different aristocrats within the banquet corridor? As ordinary, his calm eyes and voice made my coronary heart flutter surprisingly.

“… Thanks, as has Lord France’s.”

I paused for a second and checked out him. It didn’t go properly with the glamorous banquet corridor ambiance, however he was dressed within the neat knight’s uniform he often wore. Maybe he didn’t come to benefit from the banquet, he simply got here to attend him (Kailos).

“You might be a lot cooler.”

With honest phrases, he curved his eyes. He didn’t appear to consider me very a lot.

“It’s true…”

“Sure, thanks, Girl Garnet.”

As he added timidly, he smiled and nodded.

I felt a bit of wronged as a result of he nonetheless didn’t consider me. However he was actually cool. Greater than another aristocrats on this splendid banquet corridor.

I stared at him and immediately opened my mouth.

“I believe Lord France at all times seems for the time being I need assistance.”

“Is that so?”

His phrases together with his head down appeared to include a constructive that means somewhat than a query. He moved a step and stared distant. As quickly as I attempted to show my eyes after him, he talked to me.

“Girl Garnet, in case you don’t thoughts.”

My face was captured above by emerald gentle inexperienced eyes.

Lord Enoch France was the proprietor of an awesome look and ambiance that made hearts flutter even with an unselfish gaze.

“Are you able to go get some air with me for some time?”

“…….”

After I tilted my head at his query, I might see Lord Vincent speaking to his companions not distant.

After I signaled him, I noticed him nodding, saying, “It’s okay.” I nodded to him, thanked him, and seemed again at Lord France.

“Sure, I’m wonderful.”

His lips drew a gentle line at my reply.

After three steps aside, Lord France headed to the terrace and I adopted him. The terrace on the winter evening was quiet and comfy. The quiet ambiance resembled him.

“Is it okay to open the window?”

“In fact.”

As quickly as I circled to open the window at his permission, an elongated arm stretched out from behind me and opened the window earlier than me. On the identical time, the cool winter evening air handed by my pores and skin.

“…I didn’t ask you to open the window.”

“Sure, I do know. Girl Garnet”

In some way I used to be ashamed and protested with a crimson face, and he smiled and nodded.

“…….”

I seemed down on the flooring as a result of I had nothing to say to the calm voice. Lord France additionally stood in entrance of me silently for a very long time, permitting me to get some recent air first.

A couple of minutes later, he requested me.

“Was it a lie?”

After I raised my head, I might see Lord France gazing me, precisely close to my decrease abdomen. I belatedly recalled the falsehood I had informed him.

‘Are you actually carrying the kid of His Majesty the Emperor?’

‘Sure, that’s proper.’

And I remembered him who knelt down on one knee in entrance of me.

‘I’ll shield you.’

‘What?’

‘I’ll shield Girl Garnet and the kid in her womb.’

It jogged my memory of the second when he was so solemn and reverent that I couldn’t even say a phrase.

“…..I’m sorry.”

I slowly closed and opened my eyes and apologized to him.

“I by no means meant to deceive Lord France’s sincerity to me. I… I needed to get out of my uncle’s home someway. That’s why I lied to everybody.”

I assumed Lord France could be indignant, like Kailos was earlier…… No, possibly greater than that.

“I see.”

However as a substitute of getting indignant, he checked out me with a brief giggle. His actions made me really feel much more responsible.

“Aren’t you indignant?”

“I’m indignant? I somewhat……….”

He cleared his voice for a second, then smiled softly and continued.

“I need to reward Girl Garnet. I’m unsure if the phrase reward would dare be applicable for me to make use of.”

“Reward… huh?”

A reward impulsively. I seemed him with a silly face at his incomprehensible response. He nonetheless had that calm smile on his good-looking face.

“Sure, it was excellent. Actually, I used to be a bit of shocked. For me, Girl Garnet…… Nicely, I’m not attempting to decrease Girl Garnet. So, I…….”

Regardless that it’s okay if he doesn’t, he was selecting his phrases fastidiously in order to not offend me.

“I believe Girl Garnet tried to beat misfortune on her personal…… I believe your actions have been unbelievable.”

Misfortune and happiness.

I considered Kailos Ludwig. I considered the person who had no selection however to be sad with me.

(T/N: he was sad along with her actions up to now)

On the identical time, I considered Raymond del Astaroth. I considered the person who informed me about happiness. I considered the person who informed me that I might dare to be completely happy.

Lastly, I considered Lord Enoch France. He was telling me that I used to be wonderful now that I used to be stepping in the direction of happiness, despite the fact that I had doubts whether or not I had the {qualifications} to be completely happy.

“I used to be very anxious as a result of it seemed such as you had no motivation for some time after getting sick.”

“anxious…….”

“It will need to have been an escape from misfortune that Girl Garnet was attempting to realize, even by telling lies. I believe that’s all your personal will. The need you confirmed may be very…… It was stunning.”

“…….”

Each phrase he uttered made my coronary heart ache. It was fairly a unique feeling once I confronted Kailos.

“I didn’t do it with such grandiose ideas.”

“Happiness is just not one thing grand.”

Happiness is just not grand? How might that be?

I checked out him with a glance of bewilderment. Then, his eyes darkened.

“However I believe that happiness is particularly grand to you…….”

As if he had simply learn my thoughts, he stated.

“So I wished that can assist you.”

“Lord France….”

“The oath of the day to guard you continues to be legitimate. So Girl Garnet, please proceed to maneuver as you at the moment are.”

“…….”

“Please transfer like that to get out of misfortune and to get nearer to happiness. In order that I can proceed that can assist you.”

The guilt that had been suppressed in entrance of Lord France’s honest eyes started to wriggle once more.

He doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know the way ugly and depraved the issues I’ve dedicated are. That’s why he dares inform me to be completely happy.

Up to now, he was caught by Kailos’ troopers for serving to me. Since then, I by no means heard from him till the tip of my life.

If he finds out about my previous, or the atrocities which will have but to return? Will he be capable to say that he’s serving to me then?

However I can’t inform him I’ve gone again in time…….

“Thanks.”

Foolishly, I conceal my mistake and reply like that.

“I’m at all times grateful to Lord France.”

And I’m sorry, I swallowed the phrases I couldn’t convey out.

Lord France smiled faintly and checked out me. The smile he had proven all alongside appeared to vanish.

“I’ve to go in now. It will be impolite to your associate so that you can be away with a stranger for a very long time.”

Lord France stood within the place the place he had been standing all alongside and beckoned me to go in first.

If I flip round now, when will we meet once more?

I immediately remembered that I hadn’t ever given him a single widespread greeting, which was due a really very long time in the past.

“Chloe.”

In the mean time I assumed it was too dangerous to half our methods like this, phrases popped out of my mouth with out realizing it.

“My title is Chloe.”

It didn’t go properly with the scenario, however after blinking for some time, he instantly understood me and replied with a giant smile.

“Sure. I’ll undoubtedly name you by that title subsequent time, Girl Chloe.”

My title got here out for the primary time from a person who had lengthy known as me ‘Girl Garnet’. It was a really thrilling factor.
