Chapter 293 – What Is She Planning Now?
"Have I created trouble for you, my lady?" asked the man in a voice filled with concern. The voice was so warm that she thought how it would sound if Leo would ask her in the same voice!
"My lady!" Arden called the girl again who was looking lost in her thoughts and she blinked and looked around.
It took her a few seconds to come back into her senses and then shook her head.
"No! It is not because of you. Something must have happened in the ministry. And if he was looking coldly at you then father must have had an argument with the young lord!" a bitter smile formed on her lips as she said so and her eyes turned dim.
The charming smile she had on her face just a few minutes ago had died so completely that he felt his chest getting tightened yet he could not accept anything against his master!
"That.. there must have been a reason if the master argued with the duke.
My lady, i advise you to not interfere in the matter lest you would get hurt again!" He was worried for her as he knew how much she had suffered. He didn\'t want her to be part of the political arguments anymore but Olivia\'s eyes turned cold.
Her grip on her dress tightened as she felt a surge of anger engulfing her and it took all her strength to maintain that neutral smile on her face as she nodded her head.
"I understand, you do not need to worry so much about me or else your master would be against you too!" She still has to look pity and gain his sympathy to create a hole in their house.
The eyes of the man softened when he felt she was worried about him instead of her. How big of a heart did she have? He could not understand why his master had not recognized such a piece of gold!
"You do not need to worry about me. In fact, I am always at your service! I have a week\'s holiday , lady Olivia, please inform me if you need any kind of service from this small man!" He bowed his head with sincerity and was about to turn to leave when he looked at the hesitating eyes of the girl.
She was looking everywhere but him and her lips were pursed into a thin line as if she wanted to say something but restraining herself!
His brows knitted looking at her, as he felt he was being a jerk, giving her suggestions all this time. She was not a small kid!
"Is there something troubling you, my lady?" She blinked her eyes and raised her head with an innocent expression on her face but was stunned by his clear sparkling eyes that had nothing but concern for herself.
A tinge of guilt surged when she realized he was truly worried for her and turned her head away.
"That.. if you are on holiday for a week, can you take me out for a day?" her face turned red due to the guilt but her words and action were highly misunderstood by the man.
"Ba thump!"
"Ba-thump!"
His heart was beating so loudly that she felt it would leap out of his ribcage. No! It could not be, there must be some kind of misunderstanding!
He shook his head to curb the strange thoughts and funny feelings from his chest.
"Umm, what do you mean, my lady!" Surely you are not asking this lowly man to take you out on a date. Right?\' his eyes widened when he heard his thoughts! How could he even think so!?
Even when he was a noble, she was much higher in peerage and he knew how important the power was for her and her family.
If not for the power, would she have been so crazy for Leo. his heart turned cold at that thought, and all the excitement left his body like a deflated balloon. He did not know why he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"I am feeling too depressed these days! So, I want to go out a bit far away from the hustle and bustle of town and spend a day peacefully!
But my father and my knights would not let me go! If you do not mind, can you take me to a peaceful place. So that I could forget what happened to me?" her voice was low and her face turned dim.
She was looking rather melancholic and frail with that look just like the day she had fallen on the ground after being slapped by leo.
He had thought that she would go straight to her father and tell him everything but not only had she not told anyone about the incident, she did not even blame Leo for it.
Though she was a bit arrogant about her position, which nobles was not? Even Eli and Leo show arrogance in public.
She was an innocent and chirpy girl in her home. He could not help but feel more attracted to her when looking at her frail look.
"It would be my honor to take you out and help you in recovering my lady? But do you think the duke would allow me to take you out. I mean.." he would definitely misunderstand him.
Even if he escorts her as her knight, he does not work for him and she would not be able to dress up as a knight since the uniform belongs to the family of Thawyne.
In the personal clothes, he would represent the family of Saphiners, the count which was much lower than her.
As if reading his hesitation she smiled and shook her head,
"You do not need to worry about that, I will handle everything!"
