“It was earlier than you and I had been even born, however I’ve heard of tales. His Majesty the late Emperor had a twin brother.”

“…Actually?”

Seira recalled the face of the late Emperor Laud, whom she forcibly erased from her head when he betrayed Askan. The final time she noticed him was not lengthy after he misplaced his imprinted Omega, so he was mentally and bodily in poor health. Maybe due to that, it wasn’t straightforward to attach him with Mel.

‘However, at first look, the resemblance was undoubtedly…’

“It was an accident that concerned the pregnant princess…” he continued, “Anyway, it was an awesome tragedy for each Viseltium and Franto, so it was saved silent ever since.”

“What about Franto?”

“As a result of the princess who had an accident was Franto’s eldest daughter.”

In different phrases, it was the older sister of the previous head, Philias Franto.

“Do you keep in mind their names?”

“Effectively… I’m not fairly certain if I keep in mind. Would you like me to search for it for those who’re curious?”

“Sure, please.”

Seira grew to become surprisingly anxious.

Why does an individual who seemingly was insane, presumed to be instantly from Viseltium’s bloodline, stay within the temple basement? Along with his capacity, he may all the time get out and take her again. However why…?

‘If this has one thing to do with the Emperor’s sudden go to to the temple…’

She was questioning that for a very long time, too. Irrespective of how a lot the temple may discover the beast’s nest, she was stunned with the emperor’s perspective, which appeared overly dependent.

If Mel was certainly the prince, and if the temple, the late emperor, and Philia Franto conspired to kill the couple, it was no marvel that Louis knew of Mel’s existence.

The issue was that Mel’s face, his energy, resembled her favourite individual…

‘Aven is Mark Helford’s son. However why…’

When she considered this, her coronary heart constricted. What ought to Aven do if he knew he was instantly associated? If she requested him and he reacted otherwise than she anticipated…

“Seira.”

All of a sudden, a heavy heat fell on the again of her hand. Baron gazed at her and added, “You don’t look too good.”

Seira felt the impulse in his eyes which had been full of pure affection and concern. She puzzled if it could be wonderful to confide her emotions a bit of with him.

She confirmed no signal of weak point to anybody, together with Nathan and Aven. She hated seeing a tragic expression in Nathan, who sacrificed his life for his daughter’s future. Aven was a vassal she ought to shield, so it was solely pure for her.

She has no buddies or siblings to divulge heart’s contents to, so she pretended to be robust alone, however typically all she simply needed was to depend on somebody. She thought it’d be good if she may at the least whine about her burdens. Then the burden on her shoulders would one way or the other really feel a lot lighter.

‘No, what the hell am I considering?’

Seira lastly got here to her senses, and he or she hurriedly pulled out her hand.

Baron Jeff appreciated her. He appreciated her for the longest time.

However, how was she?

She didn’t have the flexibility to return his affection, however solely meant to benefit from it. Her cheeks had been burning with disgrace at her ugly selfishness.

She smiled sheepishly at him, rubbing the again of her heat hand on the hem of her garments.

“You haven’t any conscience, Baron,” she joked, “It’s not since you already know, proper?”

Because of this, he additionally smiled and withdrew his hand as he mentioned, “I feel I’ve mentioned it for the third time already. It’s all because of me.”

Seira snorted and started to eat away the refreshments they hadn’t touched throughout their complete dialog. She felt a bit of higher when she ate the candy and bitter chocolate cake and tart with loads of strawberries.

“Don’t go till you’re carried out consuming.”

“Are you able to try this?”

Seira and Baron, who already knew who entered the greenhouse by the sound of his voice, weren’t in the least stunned.

“You didn’t have to return your self,” Baron mentioned with out masking the annoyance in his voice.

Louis Franto smiled and put his hand on his chest, “Thanks for welcoming me. I used to be impolite as a result of I needed to see my lover as quickly as attainable, however I imagine you’ll perceive.”

Baron may solely shut his mouth with a disapproving expression, as he too had visited Franto with out prior discover the opposite evening.

“I used to be about to go anyway. I’m sorry to maintain you ready, Louis.”

Seira bought up from her seat, smiled and moved in the direction of Louis. The luxurious-looking man held out his hand to her, his eyes staring with a opposite look to his mushy smile.

“I used to be very anxious, Seira. I’m relieved to see that you just’re secure.”

“It wasn’t a giant deal.”

Replying evenly, Seira accepted the hand he held out. Louis kissed the again of her hand for a moderately very long time, and appeared to be a person who sincerely wished for his lover’s security. After all, no person truly believed it.
