Chapter 107

Will Luca present up if I hold calling his identify?

If I miss him till it hurts, will he present up like a breeze and stroke my cheeks?

However no one remembers him now.

“Why…why..?”

Rere, who stated Luca was the best on this planet in every single place she went, the nanny, who at all times praised him for his kindness, and even the maids. No person remembered Luca.

He utterly vanished as if he by no means existed within the first place.

The gadgets he had given me had been nonetheless right here, however not he himself.

I nonetheless had the bottle he gave me to assist me go to sleep.

“Hic…Hic..”

I couldn’t even ask those that forgot to recollect.

“Why…why?”

My coronary heart felt prefer it was breaking into items. Irrespective of how laborious I attempted, the tears wouldn’t cease flowing. I used to be determined to be with him as soon as Rere had recovered.

As an alternative of courting him in secret, I wished to carry Luca’s hand proudly and whisper my love.

“However…Luca is nowhere to be discovered. At this price…what if…”

I’d modified my thoughts many instances, dozens of instances even. I felt offended about him disappearing on me like this, however I additionally missed him.

I’ll hear you out it doesn’t matter what you say, so please come again.

I shouted and shouted towards the evening sky.

Now I perceive what it’s wish to be cherished, and I understand how to like others. Why is the world treating me so cruelly?

“Isn’t it too unfair to take a lot from individuals who solely have so little…”

Maybe he was the rationale I used to be in a position to shine. However I didn’t have the energy to get again up on my toes.

I’m afraid that tomorrow will come too quickly.

“We should always have damaged up then.Why can’t you even say goodbye, for God’s sake? Simply why…”

It is best to have stayed within the carriage with me a bit of longer. You ought to be sincere with me. Say that you’ll not meet me. Say that that is our final time collectively.

Say that we’ll by no means see one another once more.

I used to be helpless as disappointment overtook me as a result of we had not likely damaged up correctly.

To the purpose the place it severely messed with my head.

I had by no means identified love earlier than, however it got here to me in the future and have become an amazing emotion that stuffed my coronary heart to the brim.

After I was with him, I felt like I may face up to an enormous wave of emotion.

It was fairly gratifying. However now, with out him, I felt as if even a small wave would trigger me to stumble.

I had turn into so weak that I didn’t assume I may go on.

“Why don’t you even say goodbye…let’s have a correct breakup.”

I cried my coronary heart into the inky darkness. However nothing would change. He nonetheless didn’t present, and I used to be nonetheless lonely.

I didn’t even really feel this lonely once I used to dwell with out figuring out love.

“This isn’t the top. Luca…I’m positive you’re making an attempt to shock me. You’re going to seem out of nowhere. That’s what you’re going to do. So I’m going to attend…”

After confiding my coronary heart to the empty air all evening, I left the terrace solely after the solar rose.

I ended staying up all evening. I knew Rere could be involved if I didn’t get sufficient sleep, however I couldn’t sleep in any respect.

Then the door opened very slowly.

The Duke was the one who appeared. He crept in like a thief and flinched when he seen me sitting down.

“Aren’t you sleeping?”

I used to be additionally startled by his sudden look.

“Sure. I can’t sleep…”

It was laborious to take my eyes off him as he drew nearer.

Funnily sufficient, he was clearly dressed and behaved just like the Duke, however I nonetheless had the impression that he was Luca.

“I see.”

“…Are you feeling higher?”

“I’m a lot better than earlier than. Are you apprehensive?”

I used to be simply checking, however he responded precisely because the Duke would. Not as a result of I used to be involved about him, however as a result of I thought he was Luca.

However I couldn’t convey myself to say it, so I saved my mouth shut. As an alternative, my expression was stuffed with disappointment.

“That’s a reduction. Are you right here to see Rere?”

“…And another purpose. I need to see you as properly. I’m apprehensive if I can’t wake you up. So that is nice.”

“What’s nice?”

Scratching his head, he smiled awkwardly at me.

“I’ve one thing to say. I used to be going to do it later, however I’ll inform you now.”

“One thing to say?”

“Will you accompany me to go to the outdated butler?”

“…Why there?”

“I’d wish to apologize. I used to be too careless again then, pondering that maintaining them away could be one of the simplest ways to unravel the issue. However I’ve realized that’s not the reply. That’s the reason I need to meet him.”

“Ah…”

“That was me up to now, however I’m now who I’m. I’m not going to attempt to deny it. Now I attempt to not keep away from the previous and as a substitute embrace it. With the intention to admit it correctly, I have to go to the outdated butler, apologize sincerely and ask him to come back again.”

“So that you need me to come back with you?”

“I could act cool, however I’m nonetheless a human with flaws. Will you seize me if I try to flee once more? To any extent further… I’m going to alter. I accepted my sister’s demise, and I’m making an attempt to maneuver on. For the sake of my daughter.”

I solely stared at him and nodded.

“That’s why I’m actually grateful. You’re the purpose why I really feel this manner.”

“Is that so?”

“All this time, I’ve been appearing like a baby. Identical to once I misplaced each of my mother and father at 15. I used to be weak and refused to confess my flaws, inflicting individuals round me to undergo. I felt the identical method after dropping Lalice. However now… My thoughts seems to be clearing. I imagine I can handle alone now.”

“Isn’t {that a} good factor?”

“Thanks for being by my aspect.”

I requested if it was a very good factor for him, however he simply nodded.

Yeah, on this world…it’s good that another particular person is glad. Now that he’s glad, Rere can even be glad.

‘Happiness doesn’t go properly with me anyhow.’

I shortly turned my head to take a look at Rere. I couldn’t even wipe away my tears for concern of him seeing them.

I didn’t need anybody to note my weak spot.

Happily, he solely checked out us for a second, as if he hadn’t seen my tears, after which slowly walked away.

“Then, relaxation properly.”

“Sure.”

He went out and closed the door. The silence returned, and I sat immobile till Rere awakened.

That afternoon.

Rere slept in late, probably as a result of she was exhausted from nursing her father the day earlier than.

I needed to wash my face in chilly water a number of instances in case Rere discovered I had been up all evening, and within the meantime, Rere sat down on the desk.

“Huge Bunny, hurry up. Rere received’t eat till Huge Bunny comes right here!”

“You possibly can eat first.”

“It’s known as unloyal. Rere is a loyal particular person! Come and sit right here.” Rere tapped the chair subsequent to her with a vivid smile.

Luca could also be gone, however I nonetheless have Rere. I’m not right here for love, and every thing I’ve completed is to not discover somebody to like.

So I sat subsequent to Rere and hugged her.

“Rere is…all I would like.”

“Yeah! Huge Bunny is all Rere wants!”

My nostril was stuffed with the nice and cozy scent of the kid. Due to Luca, I could have forgotten what’s most essential to me.

‘All I would like is Rere.’

The thought made me tear up, however the youngster’s heat shortly introduced a smile to my face.

“Let’s eat.”

“Okay!”

I watched the kid chewing her meals like normal whereas solely twiddling with my fork.

I stated to myself that I used to be okay and it was all nothing, however I saved spacing out like a depressed particular person.

At the moment,

“Huge Bunny.”

“…”

“Huge Bunny!”

“W-what?”

“Why didn’t you eat?”

I seemed down at my plate and realized that I used to be solely twiddling with the meals.

“N-No, I’m consuming now.”

“Why do you retain consuming grass like a rabbit?”

“Actually…?”

However I solely picked on the salad. Then I stroked Rere’s head as gently as I may, realizing that I had been caught appearing surprisingly.

“Is it as a result of as we speak’s meals doesn’t swimsuit my style?”

“Most likely as a result of the chef can’t cook dinner!”

Listening to that, the nanny and Might flinched on the similar time.

“No, that’s not true.”

“Then why can’t my Huge Bunny eat?”

“How about Rere?”

“What?”

“Do you want your meal?”

“…Y-Yeah. It’s scrumptious. I believed you had been consuming properly today. Might it’s that Huge Bunny is shedding?”

Immediately Rere pouted.

“Shedding?”

“When animals shed, they both enhance or lower their urge for food! Huge Bunny, aren’t you shedding proper now?”

Her cuteness made me chuckle.

“I believe you’re proper. I should be shedding proper now.”

“Yup, yup.”

“Maybe I ought to ask for dessert later. I really feel like I crave it so much.”

“That’s nice!”

In the meantime, the nanny introduced a grilled salmon to the desk.

“The chef boasted that the grilled salmon he made this time was scrumptious. Why don’t you attempt it?”

“Thanks.”

“The dressing on prime of it appears to be very palatable.”

“Actually? Thanks for caring for me.”

“It’s my pleasure. Talking of which, the portrait is completed.”

“Ah…I forgot concerning the portrait.”

I’d been busy for some time and had utterly forgotten.

“Sure. They stated it had simply completed. I imagine it can arrive quickly, so why don’t the three of you, together with His Excellency, go see it?”

“That’s a good suggestion.”

However instantly somebody burst into the room, asserting, “H-His Excellency has collapsed!”

Rere and I each stood up on the similar time in response to Might’s scream.

“Did you say he collapsed?”

“Sure. I believe he’s in dangerous form this time. It is best to hurry to see him.”
