After the debate, Caroline and Duke Elios sat face to face, silent, glancing at each other but reluctant to say hello. Sometimes their eyes meet each other. And just a gaze that sank for a few minutes.
There was unrest in the heart of Duke Elios. He wanted to say hello, but saw Caroline put on a flat face. She was afraid that Caroline would get even more upset.
"Caroline" said Duke Elios with a thousand words of courage.
"Hem.."
"Sorry, Uncle spoke rudely. But at least please understand Caroline."
"Here you go, I don't want to interfere in Uncle's business. Whether you want to get married or not." Caroline said right after the horse-drawn carriage stopped in the front yard of the Baron Knight's residence.
Caroline dismounted from her horse at Duke Elios and walked hand in hand.
A middle-aged man rushed over to a man who was greeting his guests.
The man rushed out of the residence, smiling and hugging his daughter tightly.
"Caroline won't be late for you." The words of the Baron Knight.
"Don't love, let's go inside" she said, holding Caroline's arm.
The door of the Baron Knight's residence was wide open, Caroline being warmly welcomed by the nobles. Many nobles greeted him kindly, they all knew the truth, it turned out that Caroline's mother sacrificed for the Baron Knight, not because of her selfishness. And even more surprising to them, it turns out Caroline has officially become the fiancee of Viscount Luis. Someone who cannot be underestimated..
The inauguration ceremony was going well, now Caroline has a new status. Many nobles congratulated him with the Baron Knight who has now grown a new family. Besides being beautiful, Caroline has been known for her talent since the event that amazed all the nobles. There was even a nobleman who told his son to be close to Caroline besides being beautiful and smart. Caroline had strong politics under the Baron Knight family. But unfortunately all their hopes were lost, when they heard that Caroline was engaged.
"Where's Ariana?" ask Caroline who didn't see Ariana at the party.
"Let it go, don't look for it. It's a party for you, not for him to let him do anything. As long as it doesn't bother you." The Baron Knight.
"Can I see him, Dad?" ask Caroline.
"Don't Caroline, what if Ariana hurts you?"
"Just calm down, Dad, he's not gonna hurt me. What's more now a lot of guests." Caroline replied convincingly.
"Alright, beware. He's upstairs." The Baron Knight. He calls one of the waiters to drive Caroline to Ariana's room. Earlier this morning she had told Ariana to welcome Caroline, but Ariana insisted, yelled and always said. She will never acknowledge Caroline.

The woman inside turned to the door, and the shadow of Caroline's face made her heart boil. "Let him in the yell."
The waiter opened the door to Ariana's room, she was a little surprised Ariana's room was now back strewn with glass.
"Don't worry I'm okay." Said Caroline looking at the waiter who was looking at her worriedly.
"Ariana." Call Caroline gently.
"Satisfied" The cold voice came out of his mouth. He was so disgusted by the woman behind him.
Caroline smiled obliquely, she drew closer to Ariana and crossed both her hands on her chest. "Of course I'm satisfied, how's your life?" ask Caroline. Ariana always asked her life in a mocking voice.
"I didn't expect you to be like that Caroline. You made Father and His Majesty the Duke love you. What do you have Caroline? did you bewitch them?"
"Don't misunderstand me. I can't be that slick. My cunning selicik is more cunning you."
Ariana turned her back, "I hate you Caroline."
"Sama donk's. Oh, yes, I told Uncle to marry you. But baby, uncle won't." Caroline shrugged her shoulders, "I'm so tired of you, you used to mock me. Why turn around now, yeah,"
"That's all because of you, Caroline, why you came into my life." cried Ariana.
"It's not because of me, but you yourself who dared to come to my life and harass me Ariana." cried Caroline, "And because you're the owner of this body is dead." Caroline muttered.
"I'll give my father to you, but please leave Duke Elios." Ariana said in pleading. This time his life was completely lost to Caroline. If his father leaves him, at least the person he loves does not leave him.
"From the beginning I let go of Uncle." Reply Caroline. He saw Ariana was really down.
"But his heart is for you Caroline." Said Ariana who was crying.
"It's up to you Ariana and your own efforts. And if you're asking me if I chose Father or Duke Elios, obviously I chose my father over him. She doesn't mean anything to me Ariana."

Unconsciously heard by a man at the door. His chest hurt and collapsed on the floor.
