Chapter 635
When I brought up the issue about the grand duke visiting Edina, the Senate told me that it was my own decision.
Lucinil, however, recommended that only one grand duke should be allowed to see Edina, just in case things turned out to be dangerous. Harriet and I both agreed with this cautious approach.
We didn’t know if bringing the grand duke might help us in any way, but it would be a shame if it didn’t. Perhaps by thinking it over together, something might come to light.
And so, a few days later...
“Dad!”
Wham!
I watched from a distance as Harriet ran to the grand duke and hugged him tightly.
Time changed many things. When did the daughter who’d once found her father bothersome become so affectionate?
It felt like just the day before when I’d had to sneak into Arnaria for a serious conversation before quietly slipping away.
But now, with the grand duke on our side, Harriet could visit her family freely.
It wasn’t a tearful reunion. Harriet seemed more excited than emotional, and the grand duke appeared genuinely pleased. After a long embrace, father and daughter finally parted, and the grand duke turned to me.
“Thank you, Reinhart.”
