Chapter 04
Amel explained in a very brief way how she had fallen for Kristan one year ago
Of course it was the first time she had ever told anyone about it
Back then she thought he was already married so she could never say it to anyone
But now that she knew that was not true it felt surprisingly minor
I should have told someone sooner
Amel let out a small sigh and quickly finished her story
So that is why I feel a bit strange right now
Nina stared at her with her mouth slightly open after listening in silence
Amel called her again
Nina
Nina startled and answered quickly
Yes
Were you even listening
Yes of course I was
Then why are you not reacting
Amel asked with her brows drooping and Nina waved her hands in panic
I am I just got distracted thinking for a moment sorry
It is fine but I still do not understand why I feel so strange
I think I know the reason
Amel blinked in surprise
You should confess your feelings to the Duke
Confess
Amel repeated in shock and Nina nodded repeatedly
Yes now that he is no longer engaged there is no problem right Your father and mother would support you too
Amel’s cheeks quickly turned red
I will think about it a bit more and decide later
I will always support you
Nina said with both fists clenched and Amel smiled slightly then looked at the luggage scattered nearby
Even though Nina had tidied up a bit while she was gone dresses were still sticking out
Then for tonight’s banquet I should wear something pretty
Nina’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm
Yes leave it to me
Lord Gerard spoke while buried in documents
We will soon have the banquet
Is it already that time
Kristan looked at the clock calmly
About one hour remained
He ordered the servant by the door
Call someone to prepare me
Yes Your Highness
After the servant left Kristan went to the dressing room
He walked through the clothes without much interest
On the left were plain dark outfits and on the right were colorful and ornate ones
Among them there were many green toned outfits but he did not look at them at all
I would like to wear the gray jacket today
It suits you well but please try this one today instead
The servant brought a burgundy and gold decorated outfit
Not wanting to argue for long Kristan put it on
He looked at himself in the mirror and felt unfamiliar with the reflection
He did not usually wear such flashy clothes
The servant said with an awkward smile
A lady is visiting after a long time so I got a bit excited and hoped you would look your best
Kristan did not complain but he did not like the heavy outfit
After his hair and appearance were checked he spoke
Bring Lady Winteful to the dining room
Yes Your Highness
Kristan left the dressing room and entered the dining room
He sat down and waited while looking at the entrance
When will she arrive
His eyes stopped on the flower decoration in the center of the table
It was deep red
He looked between the flowers and his own clothes
Then the door opened suddenly
I am sorry I am late it took longer than expected to get ready
Amel stopped suddenly while still speaking nervously
Kristan also froze while standing
Everyone in the room became still
They looked at each other
His clothes were burgundy
Her clothes were burgundy
The gold decorations were also similar
Amel slowly looked between him and herself then at the flowers on the table
Even the flowers were red
She thought to herself
Maybe I will start liking red
