Chapter 138: Chapter 138

Molitia didn’t continue her words. On that day, just like that, she decided that she would not care at all. Molitia merely acted as if she was just listening to a story regarding a third party.

“I appreciate that you let me know, Madame. Thanks to you, I can see how society is going about these days.”

Nibeia didn’t comment any further on Molitia’s soft-spoken words. She was still worried about the delicate person who was in front of her, but she wouldn’t wish to force herself to continue along the undesirable conversation.

“But then, when are you going to have your next tea party? I always look forward to your tea parties.”

Nibeia smiled pleasantly when Molitia had changed the course to a lighter topic.

“We’re going to have our next tea party somewhere other than the Salon.”

“Where do you plan on having it?”

“There’s a greenhouse within the Marquis’, where springtime is still blooming. You’ll absolutely be able to have a pretty good time even if you were just to warm your body while enjoying the natural beauty.”

“That’s a great idea, Marchioness Nibeia. I’m sure the others will like it as well. As winter gradually approaches, you’d become attracted to the warmth of nature itself.”

“Right?”

Eventually, the two of them slowly rose to their feet after exchanging a number of casual stories.

“I should be on my way, then.”

“Thank you so much for coming today.”

“What do you even mean by that? See you at the tea party next time. Please take care of your health until then.”

“You should take care of yourself as well.”

She saw Nibeia off in a friendly atmosphere. Then, Molitia stood by the door while staring away at the moving carriage.

But the promise they had was soon broken. By the time Molitia’s illness had been completely cured, she heard that Marchioness Nibeia, on the other hand, had gotten herself a cold.

Therefore, Molitia straight away persuaded Raven to allow her to visit Marchioness Nibeia. He had already prepared a lot of people to tail her, but his troubles seemed like they would never come to an end.

He was still busy at that moment and he was completely bound to the Imperial Palace. After much consideration, Raven finally withdrew the restraining order that was issued towards Lyndon before in order for him to assist her.

————————–

Molitia was looking around outside towards the street from the running carriage when she gestured as she saw a sign with a familiar brand attached on it.

“Oh, can you stop for a while in front of that store over there? I’d like to buy a gift for this visit.”

“I will.”

The running carriage slowly pulled to a stop and set right in front of the store. However, they began to wander about for quite some time. When they couldn’t really find a suitable spot, Lyndon opened the carriage’s window slightly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I don’t think it’s quite possible to leave the carriage here. This is such a complicated road that it has become necessary to park a carriage far away from here.”

“Madam, if you’d like to have anything, allow me to acquire it.”

She immediately shook her head at those words of Gilbert, who was sitting right across from her.

“No, I will choose. It is said that you have to show some sincerity by choosing it yourself.”

“Then, I’ll be right back with the carriage.”

“Yes, I’ll wait for you right at this store.”

The carriage, which had already dropped Molitia and her knight off at the side of the road, slowly began to move again. When the carriage that had embedded with the Duke’s symbol disappeared, Molitia swiftly pulled up her collar.

“It’s quite windy. You’d better get inside the store quickly.”

As she followed Lyndon’s guidance, Molitia straight away hastened her steps. She shouldn’t be catching a cold this time—really. All the while, she held onto her collar tightly.

“Oh, my.”

It was during the time when she was tidying up her clothes that the knight suddenly swept her up. She had almost run into someone who was rushing out of the store.

“Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

The pair of surprised eyes had calmed down rather easily, but the person right in front of her was currently the problem. Despite his own obvious fault, he still ran wild as he pointed towards her.

“Hey, where do you even put your eyes?”

“Keep your voice down.”

Lyndon immediately stopped the man who was running towards her. As soon as the man’s eyes were about to catch his blaze, he suddenly seemed to recognize the man that was behind Molitia.

“Oh my God, you’re the Duchess. I haven’t been seeing you in a long time.”

Her head lifted slowly from the cold. At that moment, Molitia’s eyes were filled with a man who was flaunting his vile expression.
