“…….”

“…….”

The grand duke was silent while the aide beside him was too dumbfounded to even speak.

Usually, children would be too frightened to see Tristan, the grand duke of Valentine, because of his bad temper and mischievous pranks.

‘Other children would cry and run away, but she willingly came over to him in person. What kind of life did the young miss have…?’

Dwayne’s expression was sympathetic.

[Good to see you again.]

Aria held the card tightly with both hands and grinned.

She wasn’t used to smiling. However, when she remembered Diana, Betty, and the other servants who took care of her, a genuine smile blossomed on her lips. She had never done it before.

‘Interesting.’

The mere thought of their kindness made her insides feel warm and fuzzy.

As she smiled brightly, the grand duke laughed in a teasing manner.

“You missed me, so you came to me while riding on the hounds’ back?”

Aria nodded.

Honestly, she hadn’t seen the grand duke ever since their first encounter. So she wondered where he was and what he was doing. Though she wasn’t that curious.

“I see,” he said as his lips twisted into a wry smile.

The prince had never spoken such words to the grand duke, so he was quite surprised. But hearing these kinds of things wasn’t as bad as he thought.

“So what, you want to play with me?”

“…..”

“What do you want?”

Aria didn’t know how to answer him.

‘I should have thought of a purpose before coming here…’

They had no choice but to stare at each other. The grand duke had never played with a child before, and Aria had never played as a child either.

“Should I play with you like how I play with my son?” the grand duke asked, tapping his red lips with his finger.

“Please reconsider, Your Grace! It’s not a normal game for a child to play!”

Dwayne, who had been silent for a while, interfered with the conversation.

“The lady came from outside the border. Besides, I heard that she had just recovered from a fever a few days ago.”

‘What kind of game do they usually play to make him so nervous?’

Aria pondered for a moment.

‘I can’t even imagine them playing like a normal family.’

If she had to imagine, they would probably play a violent game with blood splashing all over.

“She was sick as soon as she came to the grand duchy. She looks weaker than an insect.”

The grand duke finally lowered and released Aria back to the ground.

He stared at her, curious as to how she was still alive after all this time.

Lloyd had never stared at her like that.

Neither did Diana and Betty…

“So, you’re all better now?”
