Grace, Isabella, and Angelina were all seated beside her. Although they appeared to be smiling, Seraphine was able to notice the nervousness they emitted. It was understandable for them to feel this way.
"Don't hold yourself back," Seraphine expressed, "You ladies can start eating. The taste won't disappoint you."
Seraphine did not feel uncomfortable at the situation. Although it was strange to put it this way, she was fond of the control she had over the situation.
"The other day you three seemed to be really fond of dresses made by Mia Heinsun," Seraphine expressed.
Angelina appeared to be the most outgoing one amongst them and spoke out, "Yes, Lady Seraphine. Anyone would be fond of clothes from Mia Heinsun."
Then, the corner of Seraphine's lips curved upwards, and she expressed, "I get it. On the occasion that you have arrived at my place for the first time, I decided to gift
Her attitude caused Kayden to let out a chuckle. In fact, a part of him did feel happy seeing her like this because this clearly showed concern towards him.Nonetheless, he did not let that show on his face as he patted her head and expressed, "Silly, seeing you happy like this makes me feel the same.""Is that so?"Kayden nodded.Seraphine did not argue against that because she somewhat related to it. When the person she cared for was joyful, she felt emotions akin to that as well.In fact, she was content to learn Kayden's emotions were related to her, and it was same for her as well."When it comes to others, I wouldn't be this considerate when speaking, and I don't know if this would hurt your self-esteem. However, if you do need any help, do seek me out.I know you are being reserved and don't want to trouble me, thinking that
Seraphine scrunched up her nose at him and sarcastically spoke out, "Very funny, Your Highness."That's when, an idea came at Seraphine's mind, and a glint appeared in her eyes as she questioned, "Are you free right now, Your highness?""Hmm," he answered, feigning to think for a while prior to speaking out, "Depends. Why? Are you planning to ask me out?"Seraphine nodded. "Exactly! Do you want to accompany me?"Alexandar was caught off guard. Previously, Seraphine was somewhat hostile and on guard around him, but seeing her welcoming state now, he did not know how to feel about it.However, it did please him to know she did not loathe his presence."For a beautiful Lady as yourself, of course, I do have time," he said.His flirtatious manner did amuse Seraphine, and she stated, "Well then, let's do something fun if you are not opposed to
The curiosity was truly bothering. Seraphine really couldn't recall how she or the original Seraphine ended up provoking this mad lady.Even in the novel, this was kept a secret. For a powerful mage to come and pretend to be her friend, and then attack her— there must be a huge reason behind it.When reading a novel, it did make sense for characters to hate the female lead for no reason, but in reality, that wasn't often the case, especially when the person involved was a powerful mage.If Winter wanted to kill her, she could easily do it. Why would she want to run around in circles and play these games? Seraphine was truthfully confused.Although Seraphine wanted answers, she wasn't going to risk her life for it. Seeing how Winter was distracted by her question, Seraphine was about to jump down from the window.However, before Seraphine was able to leave through the window
"You don't seem shaken up, do you?" Clayton raised one of his eyebrows.Even Clayton would have anxiety inside him if he knew a mage was after him yet Seraphine remained calm— that too the mage after her was a powerful one.It wasn't that Seraphine was calm. She was really afraid of Winter in the beginning, enough to have a mental breakdown, and probably because of the knowing the novel as well, she eventually adjusted.That's why, she was able to maintain her composure."That's because I have a sense of security due to the person who rescued me," Seraphine answered."Who saved you?" Clayton questioned. If the other party was able to face off a mage, he ought to be strong."Too bad, I can't disclose his identity, but don't worry, he promised to protect me although he is forced to do it. Nonetheless, he is extremely reliable and stron
Kayden understood that Seraphine had misunderstood the situation and explained, "It's not that, you know; it's simply that I want to protect you better."Seraphine cleared her throat as Kayden's words caused her cheeks to heat up as she mumbled, "You sure do know how flirt.""Hmm?" Kayden questioned."No, it's nothing," Seraphine answered, "Anyway, aren't you curious where I am abducting you to?"Seeing Seraphine's bright eyes, Kayden folded his arms over his chest and put on an act himself. Going along with Seraphine for a while, he pretended to think for a while."Where could little Seraphine be kidnapping me off to? Is it an abandoned mansion or some warehouse? Or could it be some forest?"This amused Seraphine, and she began to start laughing. This was because this side of his was a huge contrast from his usual self, and Seraphine kind of liked how she wa
"You are smart, aren't you?"Seraphine glared at Kayden prior to continuing, "Seraphine then of course chased after that good-for-nothing Eli Weiton, and he was as arrogant as he is now.He disregarded Seraphine's feelings and treated her like trash. Even so, she didn't give up and persistently hung up on him. It was pathetic! If I was in her place, I would have beaten him up over how disrespectful he was.And when Seraphine got together with someone else, he had the audacity to blame her for seducing him and then abandoning him. He was literally the one who disrespected her.And that Seraphine, who didn't have any amount of self-respect, simply cried and begged him for forgiveness instead of reporting him for assault. Talk about being lame!Just telling this story is enough to make me lose my mind. What kind of crap is this!? This Seraphine is seriously frustrating! As for
Kayden did not change his attitude towards Seraphine despite all that he had heard, and Seraphine appreciated this part about him.Just like she had said to him, he considered this to be a story and took everything with a grain of salt. Other than the important details, Seraphine did not think he would bother to keep the rest in his mind.Seraphine yawned as she stretched her arms and went outside of the carriage. Everyone was resting currently at an Inn at Hedia, and later on, they could head towards the academy.The thought of being able to surprise Sharon and Eugene caused Seraphine to feel enthusiastic.As Seraphine went downstairs with Kayden to have breakfast, she questioned, "By the way, do you know any good places for meals around here?"Kayden nodded and answered, "I asked earlier, and there is a restaurant nearby.""As expected from you, Kayden, you
This response did not shock Seraphine since she was well aware on how slow Eugene was at sending letters.Unlike Sharon and her who shared letters frequently, she would receive letters from Eugene one after three to four months although she sent him at least two letters a month.And even those rarely sent letters had any content in them; only important details were mentioned. They were all concise and straight to the point, making Seraphine feel as if she was reading a report for a subject rather than a letter.That's why, such an answer might be considered to be a lame excuse when it came from someone else, but when it came to Eugene, she knew it was the truth.Seraphine was sure he wrote half of the letter and then forgot about the rest. Only after she pestered him enough would he be willing to finish the rest.Seraphine let out a deep breath."I can'
