She heard her name and looked over her shoulder. A young man with red hair was slowly making his way to her. He was taller than she had imagined, and he wore a shirt of good quality. His hair color was the same as that bird's, brilliant like the setting sun.
"I'm relieved I found you. It's somewhat overcrowded with the attractions."
He thought the viscount would find the directions easy to understand so he set the biggest market as the meeting place, but because of the huge crowd they couldn't enter and were stuck at the food stalls. It was an easy mistake to make for travelers to the capital, and foreseeing this Huey came searching for the pair.
Petite Louise suddenly found herself wrapped in his arms.
"How I've longed to meet you."
She panicked at doing something so improper in public, but the arms around her back were not letting go.
"Where is your father?"
"I was in such a rush to meet you... I lost sight of him. My older sisters are with him, so I think he'll be fine..."
He held her the entire time she spoke, but she suddenly stopped because his finger was playing with her earrings. Surprised, she raised her head and saw the happy smile on his face, as if he had hit upon a great idea.
"There's not much time."
Huey looked at their surroundings and found the familiar figure of her father, who still hadn't noticed them, a small distance away.
"Sir Huey?"
"Forgive me, just a tiny taste..."
He planned to take on the role of the viscount's heir seriously so he hoped he could be forgiven for this much. For a brief moment Huey's lips covered hers, and then he took Louise's hand as he walked toward the viscount.
