"My lady, do you need water or anything?" asked Arden as the face of the girl looked paler than before.
Olivia continued to look out of the carriage without using a word! She just shook her head but her eyes were looking lost as if she was not able to concentrate on anything. Her body was leaning on the seat with her head taking the support of the window pane.
She was looking frail and weak so Arden did not know how to cheer her up.
"My lady, my lord and Lady Evangeline are soon going to marry even though the emperor had given their permission for it. Then why can't you let it go. There are so many nobles out there.
You can find a man that truly loves you and cherishes you. Why run behind a man who never even spared a glance to you." he could not help but ask as he felt his chest getting constricted looking at her painful face.
Olivia turned her head away from the windower and looked at him with wet eyes. She seem to be looking conflicted and hurt but she nodded her head,
"You are right! I should let him go since he had never liked . But he had never shown this cold and rude behavior towards since we were young.
I have been with him for so long yet he had never treated like I was a used pawn that had no value. I even ran to him when I heard that he was in trouble yet he never felt grateful but still accused for everything!`` Her words were full of regret and her face turned ugly as if she was rembering the worst days of her life and then shook her head.
She reached out and wiped her tears as she blinked her eyes and looked away.
A look of indignation filled his heart too. Sotis his master crosses the limit of coldness. Though he knew that it was his innate nature due to the wars and constant training, his heart had turned cold but it did not justify the way he behaved with a lady.
He could not equalize Aurora who had even dared to mix sothing in his drink with Olivia who had co running for his help without being called.
"I know. Master was a bit rude today. He would realize that later and would apologize to the lady. But if i may ask," Olivia raised her head and looked at the hesitated man with her doe eyes and nodded, though her grip on her dress tightened.
She knew that the man had not heard their conversation; he had only co there when Leo had slapped her and she had fallen on the floor. So, he would not co to know the truth even if she told him otherwise, right?
He was not from the ones who would go and confront his master and even if he did sohow, leo was not the one who would give explanation even to his family, much less his aide, with that thought, her heart cald down a bit,
"What did the lady talk about for the master to be so agitated?" he did not know but felt there was sothing wrong with the way the master dragged lady Evan into his office.
"I did not prefer if you probe into the matter further, i didn't want to be the pretext of gossip." she replied as she looked away but then in a whisper, she added, "
But since you are the only one who cos for my help further, I will tell you the truth!"
"I have insulted the girl that she did not match up to our status and she did not deserve to be the wife of Leo. if she had any self awareness, she must leave from here. But who would have thought that the girl would beat
And when i would try to co back to her, leo would co here and misunderstand . And without even asking the reason or giving a chance of explanation, he would slap too.
For him, I could be the only one who is wrong while lEvan is always right!" her voice was hoarse and full of pain that he could not help but worry.
"Alright, I understand now. So, it is all a confusion. Do not worry, I will talk about it with my master!" Arfen gritted his teeth as annoyance could be felt from his voice and the girl who had hid her face smirked but when she looked above, her eyes were filled with fear,
"No! Do not do that. I do not want you to be in any trouble because of . I am already grateful that you ca to escort to their place when I needed you.'' Just when she finished her words, the carriage ca to a halt too. And she peeped out of the window.
"Alright, I will not do so! But only because I am worried that you might be blad, my lady." but anger could be seen forming in his eyes that were conveniently ignored by Olivia who smiled back.
"Oh! We are already here. I didn't even realize how ti had passed. Thank you for your company sir Arden!"
The next second she opened the door of the carriage and exited from it and walked towards the palace without even once looking back. Her down casted eyes slowly crept up and a sneer was ford on her lips as she continued to walk in.
She flicked the single drop of tear from her face and the pain and wrathful look from eyes disappeared completely as if it was not there from the start.
"If you think that i will accept defeat so easily then you are wrong Leo! Now you will realize how important my presence was in your life and this ti you will be the one who will co begging to et !"
