-3 hours ago in the Denzel house-

"Mhmhm" (Soo-Ae/Daphne, hummed)

"Mhmhm" (Soo-Ae/Daphne, hummed)

Soo-Ae/Daphne hummed happily in a very good mood as she walked making a clicking sound with her pink heels decorated with lace and golden jewels that matched her outing dress.

A pink bubble gum flowy dress with white lace and golden touches as the sunlight illuminated her face through the long tall windows of the second floor.

Today was a very hot day but a very beautiful day, but that was not the reason why she was in a good mood.

There were two reasons.

The first one was that she and the Duchess were going to go outing downtown and the second one...well.

'Halt'

Soo-Ae/Daphne's steps halted as she saw the Duke with a panicked expression placing his palms on the glass windows and looking down from the second floor.

She knew what he was clearly looking at.

And that was the second reason she was in a good mood.

Because Leonardo had asked out Lottie on a date, and today just happened to be the date but why was the Duke reacting like that?

'Glance'

Soo-Ae/Daphne looked to the right and glanced down seeing the carriage faring off without a problem.

'?' (Soo-Ae/Daphne)

'Turn'

She turned her face away from the window and looked at the Duke's expression which seemed to have gotten worse.

"Dad?" (Soo-Ae/Daphne, asked)

Soo-Ae/Daphne asked confused and concerned.

'Startled'

'Turn'

"Daphne" (Duke Adalwen, said)

The Duke was startled by Soo-Ae/Daphne's voice and immediately turned around.

"Dad is something wrong? Why is your expression like this?" (Soo-Ae/Daphne, asked)

She asked and approached him stopping in front of him.

"Daphne it's terrible..." (Duke Adalwen, said)

He answered her as if he was very anxious.

'Terrible?' (Soo-Ae/Daphne's inner thoughts)

"Dad your starting to worry me what happened?" (Soo-Ae/Daphne, asked)

Now she was becoming a little worried since the Duke's actions were not his normal self.

"Your brother...is going to ruin us!" (Duke Adalwen, yelled)

The Duke who tried to say his words calmly but lost it as if he was nervous and stressed yelled out.

"I'm not going to get to have any grandchildren at this rate your brother has no sense in dating a woman!" (Duke Adalwen, yelled)

"H-He said that he couldn't manage to hold her hand without sweating and he said that he couldn't look at her at times..blah..blah...blah...blah" (Duke Adalwen, said)

The Duke began on rambling non-stop like talking to himself.

'Dumbstruck'

"..." (Soo-Ae/Daphne)

And here she was actually being worried that something big had happened.

"Ha" (Soo-Ae/Daphne, sighed)
