Veronica kissed Alexid’s brow, however to me, it seemed like she was a saint doing that.

“I ought to go in first.” Veronica shrugged.

“See you subsequent time, Veronica.” Alexid answered.

“You guys clear up a bit and go residence.”

Veronica waved her hand to say whats up and organized her seat. Flora and Alexid had been guided by the servants.

“We’re beginning now, proper?” Gerald laughed.

“The liquor retailer was right here. How a lot are you going to drink?”

I shrugged and exchanged cups with Gerald. The mixture of alcohol heated my mouth tightly and it mixed with fruit that cooled down the warmth I felt. It was actually the most effective.

“Drink slowly.” Gerald put chilly water in entrance of me. The dew fashioned on the floor of the glass.

Actually, I’m feeling much more delicate than I used to be earlier than.

Possibly it’s as a result of I drank. Or it’s due to the alcohol.

I felt a lump in my throat.

I really feel sorry for Gerald.

I felt sorry.

For some cause, tears fell. My already fragile thoughts was shaken by the intoxication affecting my physique..

One other tear fell.

“Why are you crying?” Gerald wiped my tears together with his fingers. Gerald’s eyes shook as he stared at me.

I wasn’t crying, it seemed like Gerald was crying.

“I’m unhappy.”

“Why are you unhappy?”

“I’m sorry.”

Gerald frowned. He seemed as if he didn’t know what I meant by that.

“Are you sorry?”

“Yeah. I’m simply sorry.”

“You’re drunk.”

“I feel so.”

He nodded his head.

Truly, I wasn’t drunk, however I needed to depart it like that for now.

Gerald, I stored on getting emotional. It was an emotion from the previous.

My emotions are shaking uncontrollably.

So I’ll simply say I’m drunk. There’s nothing else I can say proper now.

Gerald put down his drink. Gerald’s face was getting redder as he drank the same quantity with me.

Gerald fiddled with the glass.

“For those who’re sorry… Then, don’t meet the Crown Prince.”

“Prince? Why?”

I believed that he was simply staying nonetheless. He will need to have stored it in thoughts.

Gerald sighed. “You stated you had been sorry.”

“He appeared like a great particular person.”

Properly, on the floor, I get that feeling.

Gerald turned his head and checked out me. Gerald gritted his tooth and whispered. “No man round you is an efficient man. No less than for me.”

“Gerald…”

“And the Crown Prince. No, he won’t ever be a great one. I don’t prefer it all.”

“…….”

“Since you all the time inform me to not cross the road now. I feel I’m drunk…….”

Gerald swept his hair together with his hand. His feelings confirmed that his emotions and the scenario had been sophisticated and couldn’t be defined with phrases. It was tough for him to do this.

“Don’t do it.”

Gerald clapped his lips. “Don’t meet him.”

“…….”

“Don’t speak about different males in entrance of me.”

Gerald’s gaze felt honest as he stared at me. As if he didn’t need to see me in a state of being in ache. No, as if he was in worry of dropping me.

Gerald was afraid of my refusal.

Gerald swept down his face together with his proper hand. Grief struck  him as his face was crammed with indescribable fatigue.

“I don’t need to.” I closed my eyes tight.

Alcohol was like magic. Now Gerald has opened his mouth when he was so used to not saying a phrase.

Gerald’s lips moved cautiously, actually cautiously in opposition to my brow. The tremor felt by his small contact made me cry once more.

Gerald, who suffered after my demise, would have taken the braveness in even this small act.

“Don’t push me away,” Gerald murmured in a brooding voice.

You idiot, you idiot.

Oh, my.

However it’s laborious as a result of it’s been some time since I drank. I began the morning about an hour later than different days.

Information has come to wake me up.

“Girl! Your Highness has woken up!”

“What?” I jumped off the bed and blinked.

“Actually?”

“Sure, my girl!”

“What did the physician say? My dad?”

“He simply went in to see a physician. The Duchess is standing by the duke, so it is best to wash up first. You’ll be able to go wash up and see the duke.”

“Daddy…”

Sally comforted me when my eyes went crimson.

“I feel he was all proper. From what I’ve heard, he doesn’t have any unexplainable ache… Uh, properly. He had a hearty meal as properly!”
