The Count's Daughter (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 55

"Aren't you sad na aalis ka na ng Aesthenberg?"

Napatingin naman ako kay Count Hilberto because of what he suddenly said. Steffa, on the other hand, na nandito sa tabi ko ay nakatingin lang sa akin at mukang naghihintay lang ng sagot ko.

I smiled, "Hmm, maybe a bit?... Aesthenberg, is where I grew up, after all." I mumbled as I glanced outside the window of our carriage.

Nakikita ko mula dito sa kina-uupuan ko sina Timothy at Cristoff na papalapit sa amin. One of his knights opened the door at saka pumasok si Timothy. While Cristoff placed himself outside, katabi nong nagpapatakbo nitong sinasakyan namin.

This is the day na aalis ng Aesthenberg sina Timothy, and of course, I am here and Steffa, we're gonna leave this Empire for the second time. But this time, there's also no guarantee na babalik pa kami rito.

I really just hope that Aesthenberg will stay the same. Sana ang mga walanghiyang gustong pabagsakin ang Royal Family ng Aesthenberg ay mahuli. Sana umabot kay Walter ang sulat na ipinadala ko. It was a tip about the current incident and the involvement of some nobles of Colchira, hindi lang ako segurado kung maniniwala siya dahil walang may nakalagay doon kung kanino galing ang letter.

I felt ashamed of my self after I saw him unexpectedly sa manor namin when I visited my mom's tombstone. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ginagawa niyo doon, pero na guilty ako dahil may mga nalaman ako na hindi ko man lang masabi sa kaniya, and worst, tinakbuhan ko pa ang lahat. I mean, I died, remember? I died because of the scheme of that girl who's obsessed with him.

I just hope Walter could be genuinely happy with her. Well, I found out that Princess Yvonne's vacation is over according to Timothy, so in short, aalis na rin 'yun ng Aesthenberg. Maybe sasabay siya sa pag-alis ng pamilya niya sa susunod na araw.

Sighed, I should focus on myself not to Aesthenberg or Walter... I'm sure Aesthenberg will be able to handle whatever issue or scheme of other Kingdoms towards them.

"Ilang taon rin akong hindi nakapunta rito..." Steffa warmly mumbled kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya. Nakatingin siya sa mga dinadaanan namin with those delighted eyes.

It's been three long days of traveling. Finally, we arrived in my mother's hometown. The boarder-province of Aesthenberg and Dalian Kingdom.
