The atmosphere in the infirmary room was very quiet. Far in contrast to what had happened a mont ago. Arielle looked around and found everything in its original place. She found no sign of damage because of violence.
Ronan looked really intimidating right now. Who wouldn’t be upset if his wedding night was interrupted by this very childish incident? He still forbade the others to enter except Arielle. Ronan took a wooden chair and sat in front of William’s bed. Arielle approached her husband and stood behind him.
"Without you guys needing to explain, I already know the reason Kael and Lazarus had a fight." Ronan pointed at William. "But then, but why you ended up getting beaten too? What’s your business?" he asked William.
"They both looked like they wouldn’t stop beating each other, so I jumped into the fight to separate the two, but I got hit too."
Ronan raised his hand, forbidding Lazarus or Kael to cut William’s words.
"I see. Alright then, I appreciate your effort. And now for Kael and Lazarus. Lazarus first, what is your relationship with Aie?"
"Aie and I are not officially in a relationship yet, but Aie said that she still likes , and I also have the sa feelings for her."
"Are you serious about Aie?"
"Of course I’m serious! I’ve never felt like this before! I have realized my mistake. I know I am the lowest scum of n, but I want to change for Aie! I want to be a real man worthy of Aie!"
"And Aie agreed to have a relationship with you?" Ronan asked.
Lazarus, who answered Ronan’s question passionately earlier, imdiately let out a long sigh. "We haven’t spoken again since last night. However, earlier when Aie hugged , I’m sure she was also worried about ."
Arielle was thinking right now. She had rarely t n before, and Arielle thought if soone liked and loved each other, they would express their feelings to each other like she and Ronan did.
Arielle seed to have her eyes opened to see another kind of relationship. So of them were imdiately attracted to each other like her and Ronan, so pushed each other first and then suddenly turned into love, like what she saw from Aie’s and Lazarus’ relationship.
Arielle examined Kael’s face, which was also bandaged. The man clicked his tongue like he didn’t believe Lazarus’ words, but sohow Arielle was sure that what Lazarus said this ti was from his heart. He surely an every words he said.
From the first ti she t Lazarus, Arielle knew that Lazarus was different from William, Kael, and Ronan, but the man was still special. Even though sotis his attitude was very excessive, Lazarus still had his unique quality. Without Lazarus’ help, she might still be trapped in Nieverdell’s Palace.
Lazarus still had the right to be happy by choosing who he would love. Was there really sothing wrong if Lazarus liked Aie? Aie was also an adult and she must have known the consequences, so this matter didn’t need to be brought up....
"Kael," Ronan called his knight commander.
Kael didn’t answer. He just bowed his head in introspection at what had happened. Kael didn’t hate Lazarus at all. He still saw Lazarus as his friend, but he couldn’t stand still to see Lazarus touching his sister like last night.
Kael had seen with his own eyes what Lazarus could do. The man could not be satisfied with just one woman. Kael didn’t want his sister to suffer later because of Lazarus’ playboy nature.
"I understand why you really don’t want Lazarus and Aie to be together. But, can’t you give Lazarus a chance to prove himself?" Ronan asked, making Lazarus lift his head.
"It is very difficult, Ronan. What’s more, his track record makes doubt him even more."
Lazarus wanted to protest, but Ronan raised his hand, telling the man to be quiet.
"What makes you doubt him?"
"Lazarus is a playboy, and he may be like Aie right now. However, when he ets more beautiful won, Lazarus might turn to soone else. I don’t want to see my sister suffer."
Ronan was well aware of that concern. He crossed his arms in his chest, thinking about sothing.
"Do you guys know about Aie’s dream?"
"I know,"
"I know," Kael and Lazarus answered at the sa ti.
Kael frowned at Lazarus. Besides William, Lazarus also knew about Aie’s dream.
"Oh, really? So, what is it?" Ronan asked.
"Aie wants to marry the man she loves, so she ran away from our residence when she was going to be betrothed to a man she didn’t know," Kael replied.
Ronan shook his head and pointed at Lazarus. "How about you? You know about it, right?"
Lazarus nodded. "What Kael said is true, but it’s not the main thing. Aie once told that she didn’t really care about marriage. Even if she was already seventy years old, if at that ti she really just found the right man, then she would be married at seventy. She doesn’t want to marry the wrong person. Besides that .... Aie has a dream to beco a teacher and build her own school. That’s why she ca to work in the palace to earn a lot of money and build his own school without any help from her family."
Aie had told everything to Lazarus the morning after their first night together in Lazarus’ room. Even Lazarus offered one of his unused residences again to Aie as a school, but the girl refused his offer again.
Kael clenched his hand tightly. He really felt unworthy of being a big brother. He didn’t even know what his sister wanted, and it was soone else who knew his sister better than himself.
"So Lazarus, after you know what Aie wants and Aie decides to get married in ten years, can you wait for her?" Ronan asked.
"I love Aie, Ronan. But if she asked to get married next month or next year, maybe I’m not ready. Please don’t misunderstand!" Lazarus cut in when he saw Kael, who was glaring at him intently.
"Then what do you an by that?"
