Chapter 27: Reformative Strike

The breeze of that afternoon was cold. With the approaching winter, it was enough to make Yohan's hands turn cold. His eyes are wandering. It never settled with either Lavinia's lips nor eyes, or her nose. His eyes went from Lavinia's toes to her head, up to the familiar midnight blue hair of the woman.

He stood straight, "How are you, Vinia?"

Lavinia's brows twitched in annoyance upon hearing his gentle yet deep voice.

I was aware that him and I will eventually cross paths, but I didn't expect it to happen today.

His blonde hair were combed in a neat way. His expressive green pair of orbs was full of emotions as he stares at Lavinia. His tight jaws and high bridge nose is truly a sight to see. He has become more handsome as he aged.

His built have become truly a man. May katangkaran na rin ito at tipono ng katawan. He's wearing the green and black military uniform of the Ambrose Countdom, minus the cape.

Nasa kaniyang kaliwang baywang ay ang isang silver sword na may kulay asul na sheath. His outfit was completed by a pair of black boots.

"I'm doing so much better, Young Master Yohan," tipid ang ngiti ni Lavinia.

"I... Heard about your arrival from Young Master Setharius. You... You've grown well."

Kita ang pagdaan ng lito sa mga mata ni Lavinia nang makita ang lungkot sa mga mata ni Yohan.

"Right," Lavinia sighed, "Then, I won't hold you back any longer. I'll go inside now-"

"I already broke my engagement with Lady Narine. It was only her whim anyways," putol ni Yohan sa isang matapang na boses kay Lavinia.

And? Did I ask? Oh well, let's play dumb.

Lavinia tilted her head, a knot formed on her forehead. Maya-maya ay nanlaki ang kaniyang mga mata at umawang ang bibig, tila may napagtanto.

"Oh, right! You were engaged with my little sister. My apologies, Young Master Yohan. My mind seems to have forgotten about... Irrelevant things," Lavinia smiled while emphasizing the last two words.

Nanatili ang mga tingin ni Yohan kay Lavinia. Hindi na nito iniintindi pa ang mga pasaring ng kaharap. He was focused on Lavinia's presence. As if he was trying to absorb everything about Lavinia, trying to make up for all the years that he hadn't seen her nor heard anything from her.

Nasa ganoon silang sitwasyon nang mapansin ni Lavinia ang papalapit na sina Seth at Carsen. Kabababa lamang nito sa carriage na kanilang sinakyan.

Si Seth ang unang nakapansin sa dalawa. Sandaling umiwas ng tingin si Lavinia upang ayusin ang kaniyang hat nang matabig ito ng hangin.

"Oh, I see, you two have already met. Remember Yohan, Vinia? You were childhood bestfriends, right? Dinig ko ay halos hindi raw kayo mapaghiwalay noon," ani Seth nang makakalapit ito sa dalawa.

"Ah, yes. Of course. How could I forget?" pilit ang ngiti ni Lavinia at tila may pinapahiwatig pa sa sinabi.

"Since Yohan's here to have a tea with us, why don't you join us, Vinia? Abala ka ba?" Carsen offered.

"No, thanks. Kayo na lamang-"

"I brought a tea from the North! Come on, Vinia. Tara sa patio sa garden, doon tayo mag-usap! I think Yohan and Lavinia will have a lot to catch up!" putol ni Seth sa dapat sana ay pagtanggi ni Lavinia.
