Whats this?
It was a box that could contain sothing like a ring. The mont I carefully opened the box, Mrs. Hugh added.
The ring was tailored to commorate the silver wedding of Viscount Gnter and Viscountess Josephine.
Ah.
A pair of elegant, old-fashioned rings with pale blue diamonds studded with diamonds that are not in fashion these days. I was lost for a mont.
You know Neither of them wore this ring.
Well, why are you giving this to ? Did my great-aunt tell you to leave it for ?
Exactly, no.
I stuck out my upper body from the carriage and stiffened.
Then why
When she was in bed a few days before she died, she told to give it to her daughter if she ca.
What? But her daughter has already.
Her mind for the last few days was not clear.
A strand of white hair that flowed down from the head maids well-grood curls swayed softly in the cold wind.
But Miss Collins was the only young woman who had a relationship with the Viscountess. So she probably thought of Miss Collins and said it.
.
Helen Gnter, daughter of my great-aunt, who passed away at an early age. She said she was a friend of Rose Beckwiths, the mother of my lover.So Helen must have t her loving friend and dear mother by now.
Great-aunt told that she was worried that soday when she went to heaven neither her husband nor her daughter would recognize her. I hope they can be happy mother and daughter together there.
In the one and only distant world where eternity is real.
This is just my opinion.
What kind.
If Miss Collins could use it as a token when you one day had a loved one, wouldnt the Viscountess in Heaven be delighted?
I silently peered into the two jewels that glead like the water of the Dove Lake, or the eyes of a person, and carefully closed the lid of the box.
I still dont know if Alan and I can even get married. Im still not sure whether I can fully understand him, and so will he.
Perhaps he will not marry and live his life as a free businessman. He seems to be more suited to that side.
But if there cos a day when I cant stand it, the day when I cant live without being his wife even if I die soon.
What if I asked him to marry with this ring?
Laughing faintly at myself for having such a vain thought, I answered like the wind in the lake.
Yes.
* * *
Obviously, I had co to watch the wedding of Viola and Jacob, but I couldnt rember where their house was. If it wasnt for the kindness of the villagers, I would probably have been searching for Brickhouse Street until sunset.
I was so moved when I finally knocked on the door of the green gate house where Mr. Piccoms young landlord, Mr. Brickhouse, and a small woman from the capital, lived.
Oh, my God.
Lady Brickhouse, who opened the door, paused for about three seconds. Then she shouted my na as if the magic had been lifted
lissa!
The expression and voice I imagined greeted .
Even hugged my neck and jumped.
Dont run, Viola.
At first glance, I was worried about her stomach, which was quite full, and when I said an anxious voice, Viola smiled innocently with her greenish-brown eyes shining.
Its cold, l. Lets go in.
How much Ive missed this frizzy hair and cute golden eyebrows. Suddenly, I felt as if I had gone back in ti. There was no difference between her and .
My only best friend will be a mother soon. Its just surprising.
We were seated opposite each other in the cozy living room. Hanging a shawl next to thick tapestries embroidered with coniferous forest and hut paintings seems to have ward the cozy space.
I knew it.
Even after becoming Mrs. Brickhouse, Viola, whose habit of wrinkling her nose while talking seriously has not changed at all, she clattered down the tea cup.
That you didnt study abroad, l. Do you know youre as good as missing?
Emmm.
Well, that was quite expected. After hearing from the royal family that her daughter did not show up at the academy until the end of the sester, my mother went to find my only best friend.
Is lissa bothering you here?
And even what my mother said to Viola was so unexpected that I laughed helplessly.
So.
Viola slowly raised her eyebrows and stared at . Now she was waiting for my story. About where I was and what I was doing when I left the kingdom half a year ago to study abroad.
She scrutinized the shawl hanging on the wall and the Spencer jacket, lined with soft sable fur, and then looked back at . There are no colorful patterns or decorations, but they were definitely expensive luxury goods. lissa Collins is wearing sothing that gives a clear sense of incongruity.
Have you been with Mr. Miller?
Ah.
Now, from where do I have to start? I opened my mouth with a slight dizziness.
Tobias is in Sourne. He had an accident in the Principality and went back to his hotown. I dont contact him anymore, but I still want him to be happy.
What? An accident? What happened.
Viola shook her eyelashes. My answer seed quite confusing.
Then who is looking after you? You dont know anyone in the Principality. She said you didnt even register at the academy.
That person is.
I whispered quietly, hoping that Viola with the baby in her womb wouldnt be too surprised.
Its Alan Leopold. Ive been living with him at his house.
lissa, thats.
Viola was no longer able to speak. Her eyes were so wide that they couldnt get any bigger. As if I was crazy or joking.
Such a reaction would not be unreasonable. Because she is the only person who has watched all of my last unrequited love.
It was even more so considering Alans position in the Kingdom of Sourne. I had already gotten used to falling asleep in the sa bed and waking up with him, so I just forgot about it for a while.
I decided not to tell Viola about the incident at the old mansion underground prison. Its not a bad intention The fact that Alan genuinely thought that giving a first-hand experience of prison would be beneficial to my creation would surprise Viola.
Even after we confird each others feelings, I occasionally found bizarre corners in him. In short, there were tis when I felt like he didnt have so emotions that everyone should have..
From what I have observed he is seldom impressed and his empathy is markedly weak. Im still surprised when he shows his willingness to control everything as he pleases.
A lot would have been different if he had had a happy and ordinary childhood, and I cant help but feel lonely when I think about it, but there are tis when Alan feels so far away.
Nevertheless, I love him deeply and sincerely think that I want to cover for the deficiency. He also embraced all my emptiness.
But its impossible to ask Viola to understand.
In the end, I started with Alans help when I almost got a rough ride on the ship to the Principality. Because this is true.
And to my surprise, Alan also said that hes always watched , and that there were ups and downs in recognizing and acknowledging that it was love for , but we eventually confird each others feelings and beca lovers.
Violas fine nose was creased once again.
But I dont think you should give up studying abroad..
As a close friend who always cheered up and encouraged , Viola didnt question Alan Leopolds love affair with .
However, she seed to be suspicious of him in all possible directions.
Did he force you?
Viola.
Wait. Lunoa is famous for being free-spirited. I heard they have affairs there
What affair. Alan has no wife.
Ha, lissa. I an!
Perhaps my calm response was frustrating, but Viola gulped down the half-cold tea and continued,
Will the noble Lord Alan we know be the sa in the Principality? There is no family or royal family to look around anymore. Even if he reveals his beastlike nature, who will stop it?
B-beast?
It was weird though. He is a man of high spirits, but he has never had a scandal.
It is true that he is a man of great spirits. That is absolutely certain.
But I decided to listen to her in silence. The only way to calm down the gluttonous Viola is to let her say everything she wants to say.
Its not because youre not good enough for him, l. If the person who was so indifferent and hurting you suddenly beca your lover, how could you be serious? Hes trying to enjoy a little bit of deviance while hes away from the kingdom.
No, its not, viola.
Im worried because youre so soft and innocent! Co to think of it, there were rumors that Sir Alan had a lover.
That person
There is nothing strange about eting won secretly like that.
Its getting increasingly difficult. If I left it like this, I thought a ridiculous scenario would be completed.
Viola, shes Alans I an, shes like a distant relative. We even t in person.
And in many ways, Monica Elwood was a great person. Well, anyway.
You dont have to doubt Alans true feelings. I cant tell you everything, but would you believe that he even cried for fear of leaving?
What? That Sir Alan?
Viola scoffed as if she was getting hyper.
Ha, he even acted in tears?
