“How about having tea after dinner?” Brenti requested.

Okay. I’m not going to ask you for any extra particulars as a result of I’ll undoubtedly be in bother.

“I believe that’s a good suggestion.”

Let’s not be silly, Lulu.

I received’t have the ability to reside an excellent life once I’m snarled with lingering emotions, proper? There’s no assure that one other alternative will come. Proper, Lulu?

“I’ll get off right here.”

“However, woman.” The coachman stated in a troubled voice.

“I nonetheless have ten extra minutes to get to the home. I need to get some contemporary air. I need to stroll.”

The coachman pulled up. He didn’t have any selection however to take action. In actual fact, the possibilities of one thing harmful taking place had been remarkably low as a result of this was already Leander’s territory.

With a deep sigh, I bought out of the carriage.

“Omo!”

What sort of climate is that this?

The driving force regarded fearful at me and requested me. “Would you wish to trip once more, woman?”

It’s a second of consideration for me.

“No, I’m advantageous.”

I made up my thoughts to remain right here for a bit. It’s just a little bit chilly. I believe I wanted to get myself collectively. How can I consider Gerald at that second? There was such a pleasant man in entrance of me at the moment!

And to suppose that it was our first date!

“Then you must come all the best way down this highway, milady.”

“All proper, all proper.”

The coachman regarded again a number of instances and began.

I lined my physique with a scarf. Wasn’t the climate loopy? It might be February quickly!

I walked alongside the highway grumbling.

No, Lulu, get up and suppose. Why did you consider him at that second when you will have already drawn a line between you and Gerald?

Do you will have that a lot remorse?

I cried about that. Why did I need to repeat the previous once I had such a tough time again then?

“Phew. It’s as a result of I’m a pleasant child, as a result of I’m variety.”

It was a sure kind of feeling that I didn’t need anybody else to find.

His unicorn-like face got here to thoughts. His magnificence was sturdy sufficient to beat the coldness that I felt.

Dangerous boy. How good it might be if his persona was simply as fairly as his face.

“However why does the climate seem like this!”

I shouted impatiently and hurriedly walked. I ought to’ve ridden the service 5 extra minutes then gotten off.

I felt like I used to be going to get caught up within the wind and fly away as a result of the air was sturdy sufficient.

“Oh, it’s chilly.”

I shook my head.

It was once I was strolling like an emo lady. Actually, is there nothing regular in my life? If not, will misfortune proceed to come back solely to me?

“Who is that this? Isn’t she a treasured lady?”

If there’s a God… I would like to speak to you! Why do I encounter gangsters that I’ve by no means seen in my life whereas strolling on this highway?

“You’d higher not do something you remorse.”

I felt like all my worries had been gone. Life nonetheless went on as I anticipated. In any other case, this timing.

I measured the gap from the primary gate. Ten minutes by carriage is about half-hour on foot.

Even when I’d walked for fairly some time, I nonetheless had about 20 minutes to get to the primary gate.

If I scream right here, will the knights on the door hear? And what time will they get right here?

Rattling it, I’m screwed.

I clenched my tooth and glared on the gangsters.

“In actual fact, treasured women could make us some cash. And the woman of the Leander household? It’s like a present given from the heavens! You alone could make me wealthy without delay.”

“You’ll actually remorse it. If what sort of household Leander is.”

“After all, I do know.”

The gangsters grinned bitterly.

Oh, my God. I don’t suppose I’ve something to lose now. I believe I’ve arrived on the backside of the pits of my life.

I stepped again with my lips clenched.

Numerous photos of individuals handed by in my head. The most important one which got here to thoughts was him, to my annoyance.

He had been the particular person, the person that I’ve liked all my life, and on the similar time, the one who damage me.

In actual fact, it damage a lot that I used to be going to die. In all probability as a result of I actually liked him from the underside of my coronary heart.

I noticed the actual fact once more.

“Gerald! Assist me! Assist me! Gerald!!!”

I circled and began operating. Can I actually run away from them, to be trustworthy?

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

I rolled on the bottom as a result of my footwear got here off. I might really feel the hooligans guffawing and strolling towards me. It appeared futile for me to run away like that.

“Hey, you punk!”

Humorous how life will get at you.

“Hey, ugly. At instances like this, you must name your brother’s title. Why are you calling out the title of an outsider?”

I raised my head with a jerk.

Alexid, who jumped off the horse with a drained face, opened his eyes. It was a second once I realized that my enemy gave the impression to be a savior.

“Oh, brother! Alexid!”

“Don’t contact my ugly one,” Alexid stated solemnly. Nonetheless, I used to be fortunate to have Alexid.

I actually thought one thing unhealthy would occur to me.

Whereas crying, I had gotten up from the bottom, sat down, and burst into tears with out realizing it.

Why is that this taking place? I’m already so upset!

I threw off my footwear. I used to be aggravated, nevertheless it was additionally very chilly, so I pulled on my scarf tighter throughout my shoulders.
