Castela is currently sitting relaxing in the garden while enjoying tea from chrysanthemum flowers. His face looked solemn as he listened to Marquis Steven who was speaking.
"So, you mean that woman hasn't been found by the Marquis?" Castela asked as she placed her teacup right on top of the small plate.
Marquis Steven nodded, confirming. "Brian is currently looking for the woman. Don't worry El, it doesn't seem like he'll dare to act out of sorts for a while."
"What if he's brave? Maybe he would act secretly because he was still under the supervision of Prince Morgan. But it does not rule out the possibility after what happened. I know how a woman feels because I'm a Marquis. Are you going to keep quiet when you find out if your lover dies? And the person who caused his death still enjoys this life?"
Marquis Steven was silent, digesting what Castela said. Everything he said really made sense.
"You're right El, then what should we do?"
Castela was silent, her mind was busy guessing what would happen. "Sooner or later, he'll be out. I don't know when exactly, but I'm pretty sure he won't stay silent about his girlfriend's death."
"Isn't the palace next month going to hold a sacred ritual to welcome the prince's birth?" Said Marquis Steven who made a move of Castela who wanted to take her teacup to a halt.
"If he wanted to attack, wouldn't that be the right time? The palace will definitely become very busy and their surveillance of you will be slightly reduced. Isn't that a good time to attack you?" Marquis Steven sounds very reasonable.
Castela canceled her intention of wanting to take tea. For a moment he thought, if he wanted to avenge, then when the event was the right time. If the plan works, instead of just eliminating Castela, Rosenta will also finish off the baby he was carrying.
His hands were squeezing each other when he thought of the possible bad possibilities.
"Can you help me Marquis? Looks like this time I'll be back to trouble you guys. Can I ask you for help to dispatch some troops secretly to guard the palace? " Tanya Castela with a worried look on her face.
"You don't have to say El, whatever I'm going to do for your safety, and also your future son. Your safety is the most important thing. Even if the surveillance in the palace later on against you will be slightly reduced, but I can assure you, if there will be my people who have great power will protect you secretly." Marquis Steven smiled sincerely.
"Thank you." Castela tried to smile, though it could still be seen, if worry still dominated her face.
"Then I will go, for the search for the woman, I will have someone else take care of her. I'll ask Brian to come back and disguise himself as your knight. Take care of your health, do not need to think too much about bad things that are not necessarily happening. You just need to take care of your health so that your child can also be born healthy later." Marquis Steven said, rising from his seat.
He immediately prevented Castela from leaving as well. Honestly, he felt a bit horrified to see Castela with such a big stomach doing a lot of activity.
Then suddenly he approached Castela and bowed in front of the girl. Castela was surprised.
"Uncle go first yeah sweet boy, don't be naughty in here. My uncle will come again. Titip mama you are a hero, do not be too troublesome. Uncle knows that your mama has been sleep deprived because you are too active at night. So, you should also be able to control your sleeping hours sweet boy." Whisper Marquis Steven while gently rubbing Castela's stomach with eyes that have been welled.
Castela felt a sense of warmth as the burly hand gently rubbed her stomach. There was a pain in his heart when he accidentally listened to Marquis Steven say. His two eyes began to pool, but as much as possible he could bear by facing his head staring at the clear sky.
Marquis Steven immediately raised his hand when he realized that his actions just now were very disrespectful. However, after all, he really could not bear to see a beautiful face lately always smiling, now losing its light.
He immediately left Castela's presence without saying a word. After moving away, then a drop of clear water just flowed from one of the Netraanya.
'Had I been faster, maybe you wouldn't have been in this kind of danger El. I'm sorry, I'm too cowardly. I was too afraid to face the truth if you rejected me. I should have been in Morgan's position to protect you and the kid, not the guy'
Castela looked at Marquis Steven's departure with a gaze that held thousands of questions. Marquis Steven's actions just now, were completely different.
That gaze, though only a glance, but Castela could feel a heartbroken look there. What exactly has Marquis Steven hidden from him? It's impossible right, if Marquis Steven harbors feelings for him?
"Don't like the Marquis quiz, because I'll never have the chance to be able to reply to him. Although I cannot deny, if I also have the same feelings for you. Don't make me regret, for making this decision. I've sacrificed my feelings, don't make my heart wobble with your tears." Castela said softly, while wiping away the tears that suddenly dripped down her cheeks.
Luckily there was no one here. So no one will realize the change between them that could happen. Castela looked at the clear blue sky. Convince his own heart, if the decision he makes is the best decision.
Not long after, Ema comes to Castela to tell her that Prince Morgan and Marcel have arrived at the residence with the honey desired by Castela.
"really? Let's help me out in front of Ema." Castela said enthusiastically. It was as if the tension that had happened earlier had never happened. But it's all just a mask. Not to deceive others, but to deceive oneself.
"Let's go, lady, you'll have to see for yourself. Prince Morgan and lord Marcel are really very messed up." Ema said as she held back her laughter, leading Castela back into the residence.
"What happened, really? If I can guess, maybe their handsome faces turned into bumps." Castela laughed.
"You're right, miss, you'll definitely laugh when you see it for yourself. Not even this one residence could hold back their laughter." Ema said enthusiastically
