An surprising visitor arrived on the palace.
Opposite to its dazzling exterior, which appeared to comprise the solar itself, the palace was subdued.
So as to not disturb the temperament of the emperor, who disliked noise, the palace workers saved their mouths shut and lived quietly. Nonetheless, current rumors circulating inside the empire continued to tickle their curiosity.
One such story concerned the runaway daughter of the Grand Duke. And to make issues worse, that beloved daughter was the fiancée of the Second Prince.
Except for the Emperor and Empress, a lot of the palace’s visitors had been from Lausanne’s salon or Cameron’s.
Only a few visitors came visiting Demimore and his mom. Specifically, Demimore’s mom had no guests.
The palace workers sometimes referred to Demimore and his mom as stunning tropical flowers within the emperor’s greenhouse.
The metaphor made sense to their sleek eyes, however their true intentions had been a little bit extra merciless.
The flowers within the imperial greenhouses had been imported and compelled to develop within the first place.
It was all as a result of the emperor favored stunning and splendid flowers. They is perhaps favored by the Emperor, however they had been simply ornaments.
“Why are they assembly?”
“Possibly to speak in regards to the Grand Princess?”
“Then why is Rex Bluea coming, when there are three princes above him?”
“I don’t know.”
The truth that Rex Bluea was visiting the palace to satisfy Demimore was sufficient to trigger a stir within the already noisy palace.
“May there be some sort of connection between them?”
“Maybe.”
The 2 servants, who had chuckled frivolously and lowly on the point out of Demimore, an imperial prince, and Rex, the outcast from the Duchy of Bluea, grew to become expressionless once more as if they didn’t chortle.
It will be troublesome in the event that they had been caught laughing and chatting as a result of this place was an imperial palace and there have been many eyes watching. Nonetheless, the mouth that had rather a lot to say continued to maneuver.
“By the way in which, do you suppose they’ll break the engagement?”
“Nicely, since she ran away like that, it’s inevitable. Irrespective of how high-ranking the Grand Duke’s beloved daughter is.”
“I’ve heard that Grand Duke Conler isn’t doing too nicely both…….”
“Is the empire, the place the solar by no means units, now a factor of the previous?”
Having mentioned that, the servant briefly gazed on the solar sample stubbornly carved into the imperial palace. The complete empire was in an uproar due to the story of the Grand Duke’s daughter.
Ever since she was born, she had been like this, all the time inflicting hassle. If the Grand Duke’s household crumbled, how lengthy might this empire maintain on?
“Look, that Rex Bluea is right here.”
Interrupted from his reverie by a hand, the servant circled, and positive sufficient, there was a slight commotion within the palace once more.
Rex and Demimore shake palms.
“They make fairly a picturesque sight.”
The servants genuinely admired their look, forgetting their earlier disparaging remarks.
The sight of them standing nose to nose was like a portray.
It will be no exaggeration to say that if two painters had been requested to color probably the most stunning boy on this planet, one would paint Demimore and the opposite would paint Rex.
Nonetheless, their internal emotions weren’t as stunning because the portray.
“Have you ever heard something new about Mary Conler?”
“No, and even when there was, I don’t suppose I might inform you simply.”
“Nicely, that’s disappointing.”
Demimore mentioned upset, however in a peaceful tone, as if he’d anticipated Rex to say it.
After Demimore with the identical calmness, Rex requested him.
“Have you ever heard from my sister…….”
“What?”
“Information about my sister?”
Rex’s voice trembled.
No, Rex was really attempting to remain calm.
He hadn’t been calm because the day his sister, the particular person he liked most, had all of the sudden disappeared, forsaking a letter saying she was leaving to guard her father.
That’s why he disliked the relaxed demeanor of the particular person in entrance of him. How might he be so laid again when his fiancée was lacking?
“Ah.”
“Do you’ve gotten any?”
“No, I don’t.”
“…….”
“And I can’t inform you simply both.”
Rex clenched his fists as Demimore shrugged. Rex himself is aware of that this unusual struggle of nerves he’s having with Demimore is ineffective.
Maybe the Demimore in entrance of him is aware of it higher than anybody. However surprisingly, when dealing with this particular person, Rex’s skill to guage turns into ineffective.
‘As a result of he’s engaged to my sister…….’
Possibly sooner or later, his sister and Demimore will marry. The one ‘couple’ that Rex had seen since he was born was one fashioned out of necessity.
When Rex Bluea was now not wanted he misplaced his household and was exiled to the Grand Duchy. Paradoxically, Rex realized what a real household is like within the Grand Duchy of Conler. Amongst them, Mary Conler was the household he cherished probably the most.
To Mary, Rex was a youthful brother to guard, however to Rex, Mary Conler was an individual he needed to look after and defend till the top.
She was a sister who he would defend it doesn’t matter what. Even when the wind blew him away, even when it rained and made him moist, or even when the solar rose and made him scorching.
Typically Rex would take a look at her and have a profane thought that if there actually was a god who handed every of us our personal future, then that god was actually imply.
To him, that Demimore man……. Nicely, he thought, perhaps his destiny wasn’t determined by such a pleasant god both.
However with all these ideas out of the way in which, the one one who might assist Rex Bluea proper now was the Demimore Arstans in entrance of him.
“It will need to have been a troublesome choice. Thanks for accepting it willingly.”
“You’re proper, it wasn’t simple.”
Demimore readily agreed with out the standard formalities.
Mary Conler’s absence had a higher impression on Rex than he had realized.
It wasn’t unreasonable, Demimore thought, remembering the horrifying warnings he’d given him earlier than his engagement to Mary.
Rex would all the time observe her round like a chick chasing its mom.
“Aren’t you feeling uneasy?”
“Hmm?”
Rex requested in a low voice as Demimore turned to sip his tea. When Demimore raised an eyebrow, Rex fidgeted together with his fingers and continued talking.
Mary has that behavior too. Being collectively a lot, he even picked up such habits. As Rex completed his sentence, Demimore’s raised eyebrow returned to its authentic place.
“She disappeared… and I heard rumors of a breakup…”
“I….”
Simply as Rex hesitated to ask the query, Demimore additionally realized that it wasn’t a straightforward query to reply.
To say it was nothing. It couldn’t be nothing. How might it’s nothing?
“Belief Mary.”
He heard it in her letter that she was leaving to guard her father.
Mary would discover a means and are available again. Particularly if it’s for another person’s sake, not hers. Demimore determined to suppose that means and put his thoughts comfy.
It doesn’t matter what occurred, it was Rex’s duty to belief and await Mary till the top.
Earlier than Mary ran away, Demimore had a dream. No, he thought it was only a dream.
It was night time when Mary got here to him whereas he was dozing off by the window, studying a ebook.
It was in all probability her first go to to his room, and it bothered him a bit that it wasn’t as clear because it often was.
Mary apologized to him and mentioned they might positively meet once more. It was clear that she intentionally visited him earlier than leaving as a result of she cared about him.
Mary’s departure made him extremely offended and annoyed. However now, in entrance of Rex, he couldn’t unleash his rage. He felt sorry for the individuals of the Conler household who had been in all probability in chaos.
The truth that he was the one who was on her thoughts earlier than she left eased her anger a little bit.
“However we’re looking out in numerous methods, so please don’t fear an excessive amount of.”
“In fact.”
Rex spoke in a stern tone, not realizing what Demimore was considering, just because he didn’t just like the look in his eyes.
Demimore took all of it in stride, then mentioned as if he’d had a sudden thought.
“However why is our good and cute Rex doing this?”
It might need sounded sarcastic at first look, however Demimore genuinely requested out of curiosity.
Rex, as if understanding, didn’t twist his phrases and listened intently.
“I’m positive your sister shall be upset when she finds out.”
“She in all probability wouldn’t simply be upset.”
“You’re proper.”
Typically Mary would speak to Demimore about Rex.
She informed him that generally when Rex was misplaced in thought, whether or not he was joyful or unhappy, he would decrease his eyes, and it was so wistful that it made her really feel unhappy inside. For the primary time, Demimore understood.
“Possibly she’ll come again quickly, simply to get mad at me.”
