Chapter 114

"Ah, oo nga pala."

Juliette looked at Loki whose expression didn't change since earlier, when they met again.

"Saan ka nga pala nanggaling?" She curiously asked, tilting her head to the side a little as she observes Loki's appearance.

Loki shrugged. "Somewhere." Ang lamig ng boses nito, akala mo pinaglihi sa yelo.

Magtatanong pa sana siya when they heard footsteps, at nakita na nila ang Countess na ngumiti sa kanilang dalawa.

Loki immediately stood up to greet her again.

"Sorry for the interruption. I suggest that both of you change into comfortable clothes. Dinner will be ready in an hour or two." She announced.

"Oh! Sorry po!" Natatarantang sabi ni Juliette.

The Countess smiled. "Oh, dear. It's okay. The both of you are catching up, it's okay. I should be the one saying sorry."

Juliette felt awkward with her statement dahil siya lang naman ang nagsasalita kanina pa. Loki remained quiet the whole interaction between them, so it cannot be called catching up.

"Mauuna na po ko sa kwarto na hinanda para sa 'kin." Paalam niya, waving at Loki before she exited first.

"She's home." The Countess informed him. "But it seems like she went to her room immediately."

Loki blinked. "She did not even drop by to see me?"

"I thought she'll do that, dahil pagkarating niya pa lang ay ikaw na ang hinahanap." She shrugged. "But it seems like she changed her mind. I apologize on her behalf."

"You don't have to, Tita. Wala ka pong kasalanan." Ngiti ni Loki. "Mauuna na po ko sa taas."

"Sure, sweetheart." The red-head woman sighed loudly. "I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"Thank you, Tita."

"I'm home, my dear wife!"

The Count Vwinter happily entered his mansion, being greeted by a young lady walking down the stairs. Nagulantang pa ito sa kaingayan niya.

"Oh? You're Duke Lerwis' daughter, aren't you?" He smiled softly at her. "You look a lot like him."

"Opo. He's in his designated room, may inaayos po na papeles."

"Hmm? Busy as always, huh. Kumusta ang Duke Ezackart, then? He's still loyal to the Empress, probably."

"Close ka po kay Papa?" Juliette carefully asked.

The Count shrugged his shoulders. "No. I just knew him back in the days. He's okay. Well, young lady, I shall go and see my wife at once. Feel free to roam around our mansion."

"Okay po, salamat." Ginawaran ng dalaga ang Count nang matamis na ngiti.

The Count walk passed her and before he could step away from her figure, she called for his attention. Nasa gitna na siya ng hagdan habang ang Count ay nasa second floor na.

"What do you think of His Imperial Highness, the Third Imperial Prince, and your daughter, the Young Lady Vwinter?"

Kunot noo siyang nilingon ng Count though a small smile never left his lips.

He looks confused. "What about them?"

"Are you not worried po?"

"About?"

Juliette licked her lower lips, trying to find a way to reveal her concerns.

"His Imperial Highness seems so... Into her. Lahat ng galaw niya, maging ang paghinga ay nakabantay ito."
