Meanwhile, in the Royal Palace of Karo...
"You might not remember it, but you've been a great friend to me. Eli, I'm really glad to see you again. I might not know what you did, but I still remember every word you said in the last letter you sent me." RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
"This time, I will protect you."
Heliot was sitting behind the desk. His hands were linked in front of him, staring at the floor silently. After his last visit to that mansion, Heliot had withdrawn the order for their attack on the Spade Kingdom. Instead, he sent a secret order to the only people he could trust with his life to create a small squad to assist the Grimsbanne. However, whenever he was alone, just like right now, he couldn't help but recall Lilou's parting remarks to him. It bothered him. Her words were uttered with that intensity of sincerity and authenticity, paired with those determined olive eyes.
It left a gigantic question mark on his head.
Why?
"This way, Your Highness."
Heliot followed his aide to the royal infirmary where Florence was being monitored. The servant knocked for the prince for courtesy before they opened it. Heliot remained silent as he stepped in, glancing over his shoulder. The servants immediately understood the prince's orders as they stayed outside.
As they closed the door behind Heliot, he marched inside. He stopped several steps from the bed, eyes landing on the young lady sitting upright on it. "Are you alright, sister?" he asked monotonously, taking the armchair beside the bed. When he raised his head, his brows knitted. Florence was still sitting upright, staring at the open window silently. She didn't give him a look or tried to greet him like she would use to. Florence was a model of good decorum and even if she was sick, she wouldn't show she was enduring any sickness or pain to maintain her and the royal family's image. So it was odd that she ignored Heliot. "Did that man... hurt you?" Heliot's voice pierced the silence once again but to no avail. He frowned, waiting for another minute for her answer. Florence kept quiet and didn't move a muscle. "Princess, if keeping your silence is your way to retaliate, then I hope that would make you feel better," said Heliot, pushing himself to stand. "I would be in my way. May you recover quickly."
With that being said, Heliot turned and sauntered off. He didn't want to waste time since for him, as long as she was safe and alive, that was all that mattered. He had already done his job as the 'acting' patriarch of the royal family. "Why?" Heliot stopped in his tracks when Florence spoke. "Why did you do that?"
His brows knitted, looking back at her. To his surprise, Florence, the princess who always had a smile on her face, was looking back at him coldly. "I'm afraid I am not following your statements, sister." Heliot faced Florence. "What did I do to deserve such malicious glare from you?"
Florence balled her hands into a tight fist, clutching the quilt that was over her lap. Her eyes sharpened, glinting with anger that words weren't enough to explain. "You always act cold, apathetic, and rational..." she breathed out heavily. "Why... did you send me to the Heart's Empire, brother? Why did you send me to another land while you... and everyone in Karo, died? I cannot understand."
