After Blair was not exiled, he worked at Effenberg's residence. He does what he can. Starting from cooking, helping other workers, and also helping Lea learn sword techniques.
Perhaps Zack disagreed with Alex's choice, but seeing Blair work hard he was able to accept Blair as his subordinate.
Same with Via. He was happy to see the happy Lili being able to get together with her two brothers again.
...****************...
The afternoon atmosphere was so warm. With a cool breeze. The leaves and flowers danced to the wind that carried them.
It is the same with a woman in a wheelchair. Confidently, he moved from his seat. His legs began to slowly move. When he walked far away he felt proud of himself.
"I succeeded!" Mumbled Via.
He kept moving without stopping. Even though there was a little pain in his stomach he kept walking. Until finally he was almost unable to withstand the pain and almost fell.
It was fortunate that someone swiftly caught it before Via fell to the ground.
"What are you doing here? Why are you walking away from your chair?"
"Du-Duke?!" Via saw her face that was very worried about him.
"I... Just wanna try to walk..." Said Via.
"Yourf..." Zack just took a deep breath.
Ouch... He must be angry... Inner Via.
"Sorry Duke! I'm gonna... Back to my chair... Aaa..." Via let out a small scream as Duke directly carried her.
"Where are you taking me?" Via asked, which turned out to be Zack, taking him further and further away from his wheelchair.
"Do you think you want to see the sunset?" Zack. He took Via to a gazebo that had a bench there. Slowly he put Via on the bench.
"Bah... Haven't seen this sight in a long time..." Mumbled Via.
Zack just smiled at it.
The sun began to set and the moon as a substitute for the departure of the sun.
"From day one, we better get in" Zack said.
"But I still want to be here..." Said Via.
"Huf.. Alright" Zack immediately left after leaving a word to her.
Why else? Is he still angry? I was just bored in my room... Inner Via.
Shortly after, Zack came back with something in his hand.
"Ah.. You back... I thought you-" Attention distracted seeing objects that were familiar to him.
"That'S...?"
Zack immediately wrapped a scarf around Via's neck.
"Why? You think I threw it away? I'm not that cruel..." Zack.
Apparently he still keeps it... Inner Via.
"It's cold outside, you'll get sick later"
"Thank you Duke! Aren't you cold too?"
"It's okay, just wear it"
The mood was silent again. Via felt bad he was just wearing a scarf that Zack had brought. Via turned his body towards Zack. Then put his hand on Zack.
"W-What are you doing?!"
"You worry if I get sick, so do I... Worry if you're sick..." Said Via.
Because the scarf was long, Via also wrapped it around Zack.
I have to tell Via... But where did it start? Inner Zack.
Ughhhh... Am I being honest with Zack about yesterday? Inner Via. They were both busy in their own minds.
"Via, i..."
"Duke!" Via and Zack said together. They were silent and laughing together.
"Haha... You just used to..." Said Via.
"Ahh... Nah! You go first, I'm not that important" Zack said.
"Well, when I got stabbed... I have told you, that I... Eum..." Via was a little hesitant to say it.
"My-Sa.. Love you Duke! But I know, I don't deserve to love you, so..." Via stopped his words. He saw Zack looking stunned for a moment.
I guessed! I shouldn't have said that..! Inner Via.
"Ma-I'm sorry duke!"
"For you to apologize, huh? I'm so glad to hear it!"
Via who was bowed lethargic immediately looked into Zack's eyes. Zack immediately hugged Via warmly.
"I told you, you're just mine. No one should touch you or disturb you" Zack said as he let go of his embrace.
"Hiks.. Hix.. Thank you Duke!" Via was overwhelmed to hear that.
"Why are you crying?"
"I just don't think I deserve to love you because I'm just a regular person by your side"
"No matter who you are? From which descendants? I don't care about that." said Zack. He gently stroked Via's face and brought her closer to him. Their lips meet. I don't know how many times Zack started it first.
Slowly, Zack moved away a little and reached into his pants pocket. Then he gave it to Via.
"What's this?" Ask Via.
Zack opened a red box and looked like a fancy and pretty thing. Via looked back at Zack with a puzzled look.
"Will you marry me?" Ask Zack. Suddenly, Via looked up at Zack.
Zack proposed to me?! No way! What's he thinking? Inner Via.
"Eong... Duke, isn't this too soon?" Via stammered.
"I don't think we both love each other" Zack said.
"But Duke, I haven't been able to think of getting there... Forgive me" Via felt bad saying that. Although they have already stated each other, but married too soon for them.
"Ah yes... I understand" said Zack, looking down.
Without them noticing there were three people who had been watching them from a distance.
"CZ.. CK... CK.. I feel sorry for papa..."
"Yes, your papa!"
"Hey! It's your papa too!"
"Here you go, he's the father of you two!"
Lea and Leo looked at each other cynically.
"Louis isn't fun ah!" Said Lea.
"Hehe.. Did I make a mistake?" Louis.
"Papa loved someone for the first time, so he didn't know what to do" Leo said.
"Huf... What are we supposed to do? Louis, help us!" Said Lea.
"Eum... I'm not sure, but what about the holidays? Duke hasn't comforted himself in a long time..." Louis gave me advice.
"Vacation? Not a bad idea! We haven't had a vacation in a long time, have we, Lea!" said Leo.
"Hm.. Right too!" lea agreed.
...****************...
Finally they decided to go to Southdiff, a city located in the southern part.
There is famous for the beauty of its beaches and also big cities that are deliberately arranged equally. It is an attraction for people who visit there.
"Bah... How lovely!" Pekik Lea's.
"Right, I want to stay here!" Said Lili.
They all enjoyed the beauty of the city. But not with Zack whose facial features show displeasure with the holiday this time.
If only I had turned down this annoying vacation! Inner Zack.
