Lover While The Duke
#30 Bday Party (Main Figure Meeting)
The arrival of Count Rainhart was again kept secret. Yanneta doesn't want to make a fuss. If Lionel knew for sure he would be disappointed. There are many things he does not know. After all, their relationship today will be over.
Finally, the birthday party of Emperor Zagc arrived.
Yanneta has been busy since morning. Last night Lionel did not come home because he had to welcome foreign guests. Today he's going to the palace himself.
The days of Lionel's absence at the mansion utilized Yanneta to devise a plan alongside Dyos and Verdian.
They have mapped out some of the worst scenarios. Yanneta reveals the identity of Rose Attlier. Because he can cure Lionel from the curse of Hell, they must bring together Rose and Lionel to reduce the impact of Gwinia's black magic.
Feelings or whatever it is Yanneta get rid of. For the sake of a bright future for all Red Rose Tragedy figures. Isn't his existence to this. Janet continued to whisper to her heart so as not to waver.
It's finally clear.
Lionel sent a horse-drawn carriage to pick up Yanneta. This morning he had to lead the parade of knights. The party is held at night. But the horse-drawn carriage arrived in the daytime.
The Soveil Mansion flipped over with a thud preparing Yanneta. It takes a long time to dress up, change clothes to install accessories.
As the sun began to lean towards the west, everything was finished. No special dress was prepared, boutique owner Herman Soppra did come but Yanneta just wanted to make something inconspicuous.
Not Herman if she's just making a simple dress. The cut of the dress is simple but the diamond mourning in every hem of her skirt. The pink dress successfully makes people distracted. The pale silver hair was in line with the color of her dress. Like wanting to display an innocent and sincere work.
Her makeup is simple too. The long, shining hair was stroked, complete with pearls sprinkling each strand.
Yanneta is reluctant but she remembers what Fabian said.
"This is Duke's will."
The horse carriage drove slowly upon entering the palace. Yanneta uncovers the veil to see things outside. There was a long line to enter the palace. Various models of cars with family signs printed so bold. Among all, none of them belonged to him. He no longer has a family.
Yanneta sighed sadly.
The train stopped and the door opened. Just as he was about to stand a hand stretched out inward. Yanneta knew that hand.
"Lionels." Pekik.
He immediately grabbed his hand and then got out of the carriage. Lionel who was wearing a complete knight uniform looked mesmerizing. Her hair that she used to see was disheveled, now laid out neatly. How wonderful God's creation is. Her forehead that was normally covered was somehow also beautiful. There is nothing not beautiful about Lionel.
She was the most beautiful person Yanneta had ever known. It's a pity that today is his last day with Lionel.
Yanneta hugs Lionel without seeing the situation. How much he misses Lionel. His days ahead will definitely be filled with a sense of longing for Lionel. The rustling sound of the pearl dress that was exposed to Lionel's rough uniform rang out loud.
Lionel's body stiffened over Yanneta's embrace attack.
"I miss Lionel." His face on Lionel's chest.
"I am too." Lionel immediately returned Yanneta's embrace.
Yanneta closed her eyes for a moment. This was also their last hug. He prayed for the happiness of Lionel and Rose.
"Why do you have to come out to pick me up. I can go in by myself." Yanneta let go of her embrace to reach Lionel's sight.
"The party hasn't started yet, and I'd really like to meet Yanneta." Lionel's smile rises.
The lips that were smiling were also beautiful. Yanneta was silent for a moment watching the beauty she would never see again. Sorrowfully.
"Thank God I'm not too late." Briefly talk.
But Yanneta doesn't care. His presence tonight is for Lionel. The piercing glances and cheap gossip from the people did not reach his ears. Tonight he will be blind and deaf to such a thing.
Today's mission is to save Lionel.
Shortly after the party began. The emperor and his family entered the party. Unlike the usual, the emperor's birthday party was held in the open, the palace garden of the emperor. Not many plants can even be said to be not beautiful, compared to the Garden of Eden, this place is not worth calling a garden. Other than the adequate breadth, there were no aspects that could be considered.
The emperor must have taken Gwinia's advice. The distance between the party venue and the altar he was going to use was relatively close. Perhaps this is the reason Princess Gwinia chose this arid garden.
Easy to guess. Verdian said it too, a few days before the party.
His face looked tense, inversely proportional to Gwinia who was very calm. They wear matching clothes. Light blue, as bright as the sky illuminated by the full moon.
As the three of them entered, all the guests stood up and bowed to pay their respects.
The emperor stood in the middle of the garden with Gwinia and Verdian on his left right. Guests present compactly form a circle.
The eyes of Yanneta were watching around. He's looking for the whereabouts of Dyos Tatiha. He must have infiltrated the palace through the secret door Verdian had told him about. In addition he was actively searching for the whereabouts of Rose Attlier.
Remember, not if the story has changed a lot. The venue of the party just changed, there would definitely be something else that changed. Janet was still observing when the emperor, George Zagc gave a short speech.
"Today's feast is the labors of my beloved daughter, Gwinia. Hope you all enjoy it."
Fireworks exploded right after the emperor's speech was over. The calm atmosphere immediately turned into a frenzy. The fireworks are a sign of the party. Dance music played. Circles widen and disperse as some couples perform to dance.
"Did Lionel not greet the emperor?" Ask Yanneta senatural maybe.
"Should it?"
Yanneta nodded small.
"At least a word is enough. Lionel is the only Duke-ranked noble, right? The emperor must have been waiting for you."
There was a glint of disapproval from Lionel's eyes. But what Yanneta said was true. It was basic manners even though he was actually unwilling.
"Wait for me, I'll be right back." Lionel's whisper in his ear.
Yanneta's smile flinched as she nodded. The bait has been bitten. Lionel had parted with her. If he continues with Lionel, the chance to meet Rose will be difficult. He pushed Lionel away with that hope.
His throat was bitter. I feel like crying. He immediately slipped among the people who were busy enjoying the party. Yanneta went to a crowded corner. That way Lionel would have a hard time finding it. Although uncomfortable, Yanneta tries to keep a close eye on the situation.
At once he saw a figure with blond hair as bright as the sun. Yanneta moved slowly to follow him. That's Rose, he thought. She is described as a beautiful and graceful woman. His stature was not too high and his body was slim. Charming milk white. Seeing his figure capable of awakening the protective soul of a man.
The woman in the dark red dress kept walking towards the dancing couple. When his figure as intact as seen, the heart of Yanneta beat unreasonably.
Yes, that woman is Rose Attlier. The world stopped for a moment when the man standing not far from him was Lionel Soveil. They accidentally collided and exchanged looks.
Janet's heart was like that of a very sharp dagger. No matter how hard he tried, the fate of Lionel and Rose's meeting would not change. Although the storyline was distorted, the two of them were the main characters. All the processes that exist are not important other than the love story of the main character.
Yanneta turned her face away. He couldn't bear to see it. Her tears threatened to come out. She lifted her dress then broke through the crowd. Walk as far away from the party noise as possible.
His body collapsed when his legs were no longer willing to cooperate. Her tears finally spilled.
Seriate..
