Clara who sank into her mind unintentionally she muttered a speech that made the male figure walking side by side with her stop a step and stare towards Clara who was next to her.
"Miss, who do you mean like?" asked the duke with a curious look after listening to the mutterings that turned out to be heard into the duke's ears
Clara who listened to the question from the duke immediately fell silent and shook her head slowly while trying to calm herself so that her expression was not nervous and embarrassed because her murmur sounded to the Duke's ears.
"Like what? Maybe you misheard Mr. Duke,"
"Because we're in a crowded place anyway, it's only natural that you're listening wrong," clara said with a stiff smile and stuttered towards the Duke who stared and stopped his steps but because Clara did not look suspicious then the Duke then continued his path without looking at Clara
Clara breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as she was able to dodge that extremely bad situation. From a distance the two couples can only resignedly see the relationship that was built just by meeting a few times.
"Mr Duke, where are we going after this? The sky is dark isn't it good if we go straight home now?" clara asked with a puzzled look at the back of the male figure leading the way at the moment because the atmosphere of the city square would indeed be crowded in the moments approaching the evening that would arrive
The Duke did not answer Clara's question at all, only to keep her walking until she exited the city gate to a hillside road.
Clara was initially reluctant to come out until the city, but the Duke treated her well until now making her believe and follow her until they finally reached the highest peak of the hill.
Clara was astonished at the sight she had never seen or found while inside the mansion. The ant-looking cities with lights lit up so beautifully from high ground, this was the first time Clara had seen such a beautiful sight of this place. The scenery is quite beautiful even though it is only at night, it was thought Clara who was next to it.
"Miss, do you like the view here?" asked the Duke with a curious look because Clara had been very amazed by the sight before her eyes, but Clara answered only with a slow nod without looking at the man next to her
Suddenly it crossed Clara's mind about her call called with the word miss when a Duke should not be so polite to her who is only a noble who is only under her.
"Mr Duke, I don't think you should call me miss,"
"You're a high-ranking noble calling me quite by the surname alone," said Clara who made Duke smile thinly looking at Clara who spoke of the call
"Then you should also call me not as Master Duke,"
"Call me with Freiheit or Dain" said the Duke made Clara surprised because Dain was the Duke's name immediately meaning he was allowed to call his name directly
"Miss Fragrante, how about we go home now? And I'll take you home to your family's mansion,"
"The air is getting cold so wear this," said the Duke who immediately dressed his suit to Clara so that Clara did not feel the cold at all
Clara of course hanta replied with a nod of agreement and followed Duke's footsteps from behind like a chick following its mother. Because the distance between the two was a little far away, Clara muttered as she did not dare to speak directly.
"Thank you, Mr. Freiheit ."
After the two got off the hill, who would have thought that the Duke's horse carriage had been waiting there as if he had prepared everything carefully. Clara was safely home without much talk between the two.
A few days after that never came again a letter from Duke Freiheit, although he felt there was less does not mean he was waiting for the letter, because indeed from the beginning he was just an insignificant side character in this novel sooner or later will definitely be forgotten.
"Tok... tok..." The sound of knocking on the door that sounded so clear from the front of his room made him who was actually lazy to walk towards the door inevitably had to walk there
He opened the large door of his room, and only appeared to his body waiting for what interests he wanted to convey, but there was only a butler with a letter on the tray, visible there, the letter was a letter of invitation that was clearly visible from the stamp came from the royal family, then without long Clara took the letter and closed the door again, her room, and then closed again, it was written in the letter that the royal tea party was held directly by the Queen of the Kingdom and invited her.
Clara who read the letter then let out a long sigh, because surely there will be many women who look for their mistakes to be made into the conversation of fellow nobles later. Finished reading the letter, Clara lay on her bed and stared at the ceiling of the room with a tired look.
This time Clara decided not to go to the boutique to order a dress, because the dress that Duke bought for her is still a lot of unused, because there are still many dresses that are not used, so he decided to use the ones he had given away without any hassle. For him it would be very troublesome if he had to meet other noble girls in the boutique or had to hot out of the house just to order a dress.
A few days later, the royal queen's tea party arrived and Clara attended in a dress given by Duke Freiheit. Clara walks the royal aisle to the glass garden, but before she gets to the glass garden where the tea party is being held, Clara gets lost in the middle of the garden leading to the glass garden.
In the middle of her getting lost she accidentally met an exotic skinned male figure was asleep in the gazebo casually. Clara ignored the figure of the sleeping man, but a few steps at the moment she turned around the man woke up.
"Why is a girl in this park? Did you come to do the same thing as the other girls?"
