Chapter 115: Chapter 115

Initially, I thought of leaving the place right after taking a look at her face, but I impulsively asked her to dance at the sight of her enthralling beauty. My young lady with her wavy hair pinned up in one knot was wearing a light green dress, which was unusual. She looked fresh and bright like buds shooting forth in spring or a light illuminating the darkness.

Tia grabbed my hand with a fascinating smile. The warmth of her hand comforted my emptiness. I whispered into her ear that she was beautiful today.

‘Time, stop like this, so I can confidently hug my lady in front of all the people here!’

I didn’t know how to stop feeling sad as my dance was coming to an end with music playing.

When I attended the banquet, I definitely wanted to see her face, but I was being greedy now. There was not much time left now, but there were so many things I hadn’t done with my lady.

When I recalled Carsein telling me boastfully that he went to the village with her, I really felt frustrated and upset. So, I reluctantly asked her to come with me to the village in the commoners’ area. I felt so happy when she readily responded she would love to.

I thought this was the last time I would see her, but I had one more chance to see her. I felt like I was walking on air.

“I’m here to see, Lady Monique.”

“Sorry, Allendis. She can’t see a visitor now,” the butler said.

“Why?”

“She is sleeping because she doesn’t feel well.”

She is not feeling well? I frowned unconsciously when he said that rather arrogantly.

Why is she sick? She looked okay when I saw her at the banquet. Is the butler trying to stop me from seeing her at her father’s order?

“What’s the problem?”

“She had some fever, so her father told her to take a rest.”

“Let me wait then.”

“I don’t know when she will wake up.”

I was upset with the young butler. If it’s true that her father was intentionally stopping me from seeing her, I would wait here indefinitely. If she was really sick, I really needed to meet her and check her condition. Otherwise, I felt I could not feel relaxed.

“You’re arrogant as a mere butler here. How come you are talking to a noble man like this?

“… I’m sorry.”

“Enough. If she wakes up, just let her know I am waiting. ”

Giving him a piece of my mind, I looked down at the basket with the baby cat, while waiting for her for a long time.

As the day came closer when I had to join the delegation leaving for the Lua kingdom, as I promised to the emperor, I became more anxious. I was afraid the cat might not be able to survive without me. Even so, I couldn’t take the cat with me, as she was sensitive to the changing environment. In the end, I took the cat here to see if I could leave her with Tia.

Although she seemed to have no emotions on the surface, my little silver-haired girl was warm-hearted, indeed. I thought she would take care of the kitten very well, hoping against hope that she could recall me whenever she saw the cat.

“It’s been a long time, Tia.”

“Huh? It’s only been three days since we met last. ”

The silver-haired girl who came in with her maid looked a little pale.

‘I hear you have become an apprentice knight, so you should be strong, Tia. Of course, you look much better than before.’

When I first started practicing fencing with her, she was very weak. She used to gasp for breath when she ran even a short distance. As the season changed, she used to get sick frequently. I also found out that she often passed out. Compared to that, she may have gotten a lot better recently.
