Abandoned Flower's

Sorry From Lloyd

The atmosphere in the car was silent again, until Lloyd broke up by asking Camell. "You're doing it??"

Camell was confused by Lloyd's question. "Get it??"

Lloyd looked at Camell with eyebrows about to turn. "You are sick, you miss your house until you lie down and you don't get out of bed."

Camell noticed the play yesterday and was a little surprised but she still managed it well.

Owh yes! Yesterday I pretended to be sick. Then I also wondered why he gave me a ruby rose. Does that have a bad meaning?? Do I try to test it, Dad?

"I'm fine now, thanks to the roses that master duke sent me to improve my condition." Camell answered formally.

Lloyd smiled thinly. "I've heard there's no woman who doesn't like flowers, and according to your servant Maya. You like roses. Thank goodness it's true and you like it."

Camell raised an eyebrow at Lloyd's words. So.... Just because I heard I like roses then he gave me roses?? Not without what purpose behind it?

Camell kept staring at Lloyd who was looking out the window.

My curiosity in this man is getting bigger. He who doesn't like to be betrothed to me just because Ethan's uncle chose that. Why would he help me in trouble? Why would he also express his gratitude and praise me in front of the noble faction? Why would he take me... And also give me flowers?? Today I am very much trying to find a gap on his behavior. But I really didn't find the answer. Could it be. I was wrong in judging it??

"Why daydream??" Lloyd realized Camell was staring at him. "You bored??" Lloyd's question certainly made Camell flinch in shock. "I expected, this 4-hour journey would be very boring for you. That's why I brought something." Lloyd lowered his head and opened the bag of cloth that had been placed under their feet from the start.

"Huh..?" Camell's heart warms even more and Lloyd prepares something for her.

Is correct. I misjudged him. It turns out he is indeed a good man..

Lloyd smiled at Camell's adult novel.

Why did the adult novel appear....?!!! Camell shock is not playing.

"You seem to like a novel like that. That's why I brought it." Lloyd.

Camell held the novel with a trembling hand. "I.. this. ap... This is what?!!!!" Camell's shrill voice made Lloyd laugh.

I'm not saying this guy is good!!!!

"Please stop laughing master duke!" Camell snorted in annoyance as for almost 10 minutes Lloyd did not stop laughing.

When Camell went to the Biblio palace library, what really happened was that Lloyd was there after doing sword practice with Cailaden. He heard a merrily humming sound from the next shelf, Lloyd peeked and saw Camell humming cheerfully even clapping her hands cheerfully on the bookshelf containing the collection of novels.

Is that woman dancing??

"I saw you dancing between those bookshelves, I thought you wanted to steal some rare books." Lloyd tells Camell what happened that day.

With red cheeks held in shame Camell grimaced. "So master duke saw everything I did??"

"Well, not intentionally, but." Lloyd defended himself. "I love to see your expression when reading novels. But it turned out that the novel was even from the title alone..."

"Stop!!" Camell even reflexively shut Lloyd's mouth in embarrassment. "Please stop..! That's nasty.." Camell looked down because she was so embarrassed, she felt very uneasy. Even he could not imagine if his father and mother knew he was reading an adult genre novel.

Ouch..! This is so embarrassing! Hicks!

"I didn't know that master duke could joke around like this." Groused Camell.

Lloyd was silent for a moment, the man also realized something. "Yes yeah, I never thought I could be like this either.." The man spoke more like muttering to himself.

Who else would dare to tell his highness the grand duke directly?!

Camell took a long breath. "Well I also just first knew that master duke can be like this. Because all I know is that this noble grand duke is a cold-hearted person!" Syndical Camell.

Lloyd was surprised and looked at Camell. "I wasn't very friendly to you at first. But I don't think I'm that bad either." The man defended himself.

"What?!" Camell felt unacceptable because until now if considering the treatment she got while entering the palace was enough to make her upset again. This guy doesn't make sense!

"Regardless. Because I think it's weird that you're taking this matchmaking for granted let alone your family isn't so famous among the nobles of the capital. Considering you were taken directly by my father and received the privilege, I definitely thought you were after something."

Camell was speechless, Lloyd's speech was quite reasonable. Any nobleman would gladly accept the betrothal of their daughter with the aim of expanding power and wealth. Because that is the real face of political matchmaking.

"But. mr. duke. Do you also not feel outrageous ignoring me at the welcoming party. And not welcome me at all when I come to Luckingham??"

"That's..." Lloyd massaged the base of his nose. "I was out of the meeting and deliberately avoided the elders because of differences of opinion."

Then Lloyd looked straight at Camell, "Sorry." Said the man. "I'm sorry, I didn't think it would all hurt your heart. I don't care if you are hurt or not. That's why I don't care about you and do what I think is right. I was careless."

Camell fell silent at Lloyd's heartfelt request.

So now will you care if your treatment will hurt me or not??

Camell wanted to ask that, but she could never ask. They just fell silent busy with their own thoughts until they arrived in the western region.
