Chapter 51 Unaware.
Inside a rocking carriage, four people are sitting silently facing each other. Jin averted his gaze outside, looking at the scenery of a green plain stretching far and wide.
On the side, Silvia’s face stiffened like a statue. Her gaze dropped, cheek tainted with a flush of pink. She nervously curled her fingers on the skirt for being in such close distance to a boy around her age.
Worse, he was her admired person and a person she wanted to know.
In front of the two, Ryan and Marina, their gaze shrank for some reason.
The reason for that is that earlier, when the Duke had decided the issues and sent the two to investigate the cause, Silvia suddenly begged him to participate in this mission, bringing Jin as her guard.
"Um, Lord Midnight, Lady Marina. You must not blame Jin, for all of this was just my selfish wish all along." Silvia’s clear voice broke the tension between the two parties as she noticed that his parents kept staring at him.
Ryan softly exhaled and leaned his back to the sofa, while Marina crossed her arms, softly exhaled, and murmured something, "I can’t believe it; he did it again..."
Marina was concerned about Jin’s reckless behavior and impulsiveness. She knew Jin was strong after hearing about his story of being trapped inside a separate space and training his sword for centuries.
Marina is aware of that, but somehow, her motherly instinct whispers to him that Jin is slowly drifting further from her.
That is the cause of the disturbance in her mind.
Also, the battle that happened months ago, when she witnessed his tattered, charred body lying motionlessly on the ground. That image seared an unimaginable pain that shredded her heart.
