“Lady Elena, it’s tiht out”

Elena, who rose from her chair, took a couple of deep breaths with her hands on her chest She then brought out the deep-seated feelings of parting She was filled with emotion when she recalled the situation where she’d had to part ith her parents in the past life Elena didn’t head to the front door until she saw that her eyes were red

“What about your parents?”

“I forcibly separated myself and went out I don’t think I’ll be confident about leaving if I stay any longer…so I want to go before es”

“When we depart, please attend to the two people inside Be polite and courteous so that Lady Elena won’t be disturbed”

“I will”

“I’ve never considered you as le moment Now that My Lady returned, I will kill you with iveness”
