Hanaya's mood changed as soon as she entered her family's living room. Javier's echoing voice froze his mood.
"Who wants to explain something here?" Hanaya gulped, nervous and scared. Javier's aura felt unfriendly this time.
"Ac-t
"Let me take over, lady "Hanaya nodded softly, agreeing. Afraid of being pressured, his words hit the ground running and Javier misunderstood.
"Sorry, the rumors circulating in the city are not true. I chased the intruder and accidentally dragged lady Viviana in. My arrival here is purely for apologies and thanks. However, lady Viviana is entitled to an award for her services. Without his help, I might fail" Hanaya was shocked, staring at Xavier. He looks untouchable, but actually cares and appreciates others greatly.
Remembering again his attitude earlier made a sense of admiration shoot up at his figure. Xavier didn't drag him down and saved Viviana. It was true that Viviana helped him, but it was just a reflex of Xavier's awareness and bullying influence. Even Xavier helped him to take off the arrow. And just based on that he deserves to be rewarded?
Compared to Xavier, Viviana's contribution was not at all recorded. Why is he worthy of an award?
"Viviana?" Hanaya stiffened as Javier's cold tone sounded.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, you may punish me for this leniency, but your personal problems and
lady should be talked about alone" Hanaya was stunned, while Brianna looked at Xavier fixedly.
The man obviously just wanted to limit the space to the growing bad rumors about Viviana. Because all the servants are here. Hanaya apparently misjudged Xavier. Unlike the rumors that circulated or his first impression, though cold-hearted the man still cared about his surroundings - just looked indifferent.
Javier sighed, understanding what Xavier meant. Xavier looked at Hanaya and said, "Thank you for the lady's help and sorry to trouble you. If anything happens to you I will take responsibility" he said firmly.
Hanaya was shocked to hear that.
Simultaneously, Viscount Lances and his wife went down to greet Javier.
"Greetings Your Majesty, what is the need to visit our residence?" ask Viscount Lances.
Javier smiled a little and said, "My arrival here is to propose to lady Viviana" the words made a furore. Hanaya stood up nervously. Applicable ? This fast ?
"Applying?"
"I, Javier de Roughts proposed to lady Viviana de Lances, the daughter of Viscount Lances as my life companion" He said directly to the core.
Viscount's eyes looked at his daughter "We can't say anything, it all depends on our daughter" he said. Although this is a gift, if Viviana does not like it then she and her wife will refuse. Their daughter's happiness is paramount.
"Right, our daughter is in our prime interest. It is very disrespectful indeed, but this proposal is not yet official so it will not be a problem if our daughter refuses. How's Viviana?"
Not yet official, but rumors about the proximity of the two have been blowing. Hanaya will still accept it.
Twisting the nervous fingers, Hanaya nodded slowly.
"You sure?" The viscount asked again, confirming.
"Yes, dad. I accepted his proposal" Hanaya said with eyes linked to Javier. His cheeks are red.
A little more, he would set foot in the place where his happiness complement was.
Hanaya's heart thumped as soon as Javier walked up to her, then kissed her hand gently
"I'm so grateful you didn't reject me, lady "
"Then, the official application will be sent by duke Nestra in two weeks. The wedding will be titled after I ascend the throne" Javier said, to everyone's surprise.
That fast? That means that only in this month will his daughter leave their residence and occupy the throne?
"Have-so-so fast?" The Viscountess muttered in surprise.
Javier nodded "Actually me and lady Viviana have been in contact before, I proposed to him two days ago" Javier said. Wanting to shake off the doubts of the Viscount and his wife.
"Yes. That's right mom dad"
And with this one scene happens again. Where Javier proposed to her. Little by little, he will achieve his dream.
However, what made Hanaya ask was the change in flow that was beginning to occur. There shouldn't have been any trouble, no rumors about him and Xavier, no incident. There's only this proposal. What is the cause of these changes?
Could it be the impact of his change in nature?
Hanaya hopes Viviana will continue to be happy until the end of her life. He hoped there wouldn't be any trouble.
***
"So the mother's son hid everything from the mother? Since when did you learn to keep it a secret?" Although his tone was gentle, Hanaya could catch the disappointment inside.
In the embrace of Viscountess "I'm not hiding anything. Everything happened too fast, Viviana had no time to tell. Mother don't be disappointed" like anything, Hanaya doesn't want to hurt the feelings of people who sincerely love her.
"Mother is not sad, it's just that there is not much time to spend with the mother's daughter. What if we go to the market tomorrow? Trying a lot of things?" Hanaya nodded excitedly.
"certain"
Viscountess asked worriedly.
Hanaya shook her head "No ma'am, we're just helping each other. The general helped me just the opposite"
The look on Viscountess's face was covered in relief, in her gentle swab of her daughter's mane. It will be a long time for Viviana to leave. Hanaya could see the look on the sad face of the woman. As if unwilling to take it off. He did, but this is what needs to be done.
Tock
"Can you come in?" The Laughter of the Viscountess.
"The trouble-makers come again" he said, then the laughter of the two echoed.
"Come on dad"
Viscount Lances appeared with a wide smile, on the verge of them then wrapped the two in a warm embrace.
"It looks like we should be holding a family sleep event for the next month"
"Dad is crowded! I'm having a hard time breathing!" Hanaya said, interrupting.
"Looks like your father was going to kill us" his mother's chimpanzee sparked Viscount Lances' booming laughter.
"Hahaha, this is a family hug!" That night was spent sleeping with his parents.
***
The residence was full of whispers since Hanaya woke up earlier. Of course most gossip Javier's proposal to him.
Hanaya didn't take a headache. Breakfast and warm talk were done before he and his mother went to town, spending time together. There was little debate between his father and mother before their departure.
"Something's wrong if I come?"
"There! I just want to spend time with my daughter!"
"So much as I am!"
"Mom, why don't you let me come along?" Viscount Lances nodded in approval, "Your father will not make a fuss" he said trying to convince.
Viscountess remained keukeh, pulling her daughter away "Your father can't leave her affairs! You have a problem to solve, right? Finish it first"
Then the horse carriage passed, leaving Viscount Lances with a grim face. His wife wants to monopolize his daughter!
Just look at it later! On their return Viscount Lances made sure his daughter would only be monopolized by him!
"Do you like to observe the road? Is that fun?" Hanaya smiled as she nodded
"Hm, please mom!" Legally.
It didn't take long to get to the city. Hanaya was surprised to see her mother's scheduled activities. The woman even canceled the meeting of the noble wife just to spend a lot of time with her. Hanaya was flattered. If his father comes along, it might be a family vacation.
"First, we'll go to the designer. I'm preparing a pair of dress designs for you, mom and Brianna too"
Brianna who had been silent before opened a voice of rejection, which of course was not indicated by her mother.
"Anyway, at Viviana's wedding, you'll also have to attend Brianna. There is no rejection!"
"Good mistress" said Brianna resigned. After going to the designer, they will surround the market, watch street performances, then taste many snacks.
"It's delicious, try mom" Viscountess nodded cheerfully, the cake in this tavern is very tasty.
"Brianna try it" Viscountess thrust it straight into Brianna's mouth. The girl was really acting like her presence wasn't really between the Lances mother and son.
"It's an order" and so Brianna accepted it.
"Thank you for your kindness madam" Hanaya was stunned to see another expression on Brianna's face as her mother rubbed the top of the girl's head.
"Don't be stiff like that. You have to express more, I'm afraid you'll age without a partner" Her blushing face and gentle smile first appeared.
"Look, you're beautiful when you smile" Praised Viscountess pinched Brianna's small cheek. But his words ruined the girl's expression.
The viscountess ignored that. He wanted to spend a lot of time with his daughter, before things became formal between them due to the change in his daughter's status.
Hanaya smiled happily. It's good to spend a lot of time. Well, as soon as I think about this month ahead, Hanaya realizes that she will be separated from her family. Live far away from them.
But that's a suitable reward, right? He'll be just as happy here anyway.
But whose destiny can guess ? Life is always full of surprises.
