Chapter 58 – Unexpected Visit

Diana’s eyes were wide open. She didn’t expect the Grand Duke to visit her in broad daylight. Charlotte interpreted Diana’s agitation as a surprise for a sudden figure, without any knowledge of her innermost thoughts.

“I don’t know. Maybe he came to comfort you.”

The recent incident might be the reason for the Grand Duke’s visit to the Young Lady.

“Should I just ask him to leave?” Charlotte continued.

“No, you can’t be rude.” Diana quickly interrupted.

Charlotte nodded. Diana still had ample time to prepare herself. She hastily glanced at the mirror and checked for any untidiness before heading to the receiving room on the first floor where Edwin was waiting.

“Here comes the Young Lady.”

Butler Gray’s deep voice resounded in the receiving room. Again, Edwin stood up and greeted Diana. Edwin was much higher in status, but it was a gentleman’s courtesy to a Lady.

“Please forgive my rudeness for coming without an invitation,” spoke Edwin.

“No, Your Grace.”

The butler stepped out of the room as soon as Diana settled in her seat. Only then did Edwin continue to talk.

“I heard the news about the Blanc incident. More so, I couldn’t wait for the night to make sure you were all right. ”

“I… I’m fine.”

That was all she could utter. But Edwin’s black orbs firmly watched Diana in place. She looked at Edwin the same way for a moment and nodded.

“Yes, it was a little bit shocking, but…”

“I thought you’d be surprised.”

Diana gazed at Edwin’s face, which was prominent yet incomprehensible. His eyes were looking at Diana solemnly.

“The story of Baron Blanc is unusual. And I’ve heard that you are close with his daughter.”

“I don’t know if it sounds strange, but I don’t think I am friends with her anymore.”

“If you say so, then so be it.” Edwin’s gaze was persistent as if he could not miss a breath of Diana.

“I’m fine. Anyway, it didn’t happen on Carl Street.” Diana managed to utter an absurd statement.

Her reaction was calmer than what Edwin had expected. He squinted his eyes and suddenly, his presence seemed silly.

He had expected to see Diana scared but instead, he saw the opposite.

“My heart is weaker than yours.” It was Edwin himself who lost his composure, causing him to behave immaturely.

“And you are using the unfortunate event,” Diana spoke. Edwin swallowed at the unexpected remark. It was a sharp point.
