A reminiscing walk

BELLE'S P.O.V

"How's everyone?"

I had given that question a thought before I asked her.

I know that it is me who runs away from my obligations in the mansion in the south, and I am the one who avoids them and pushes myself away from them, but I am also concerned about those people who genuinely care for me and who might be thinking about me right now.

It is not a question directly to Hendrick but to Charlotte and the other nobles that I became friends with.

"They are just fine, my lady. Although they were asking for you sometimes, like when you will come back when I told them that you are busy and there's still no definite date of your return, they will just shut and accept it."

Is that so…

"I am glad."

How about Hendrick?

I want to ask her that, but I know that she will just glare at me as she still doesn't forgive Hendrick.

Although we were not really in a relationship when I found out that he would have a child with someone else, May is still mad at him for not telling her sooner
