Chapter 473 — Let us Talk… Love.
With little energy, the Crown Prince was allowed to vacate the Emperor’s stances, leaving his father with bothered sensation as he never shared any detail with others about the Lady and himself, going back to the Burgundy Calla’s Chambers to wait for an opportunity... that would not come as fast as he hoped for.
"Let the physicians do their job first... If she’s awake once they finish, then do visit her. But she’s weak right now... we should avoid anything that can force her energy unnecessarily..."
"Nonetheless... Was she alright? If you permit... May I ask what did my Lady say?"
"... Too many things, Zeleskiaz... but for now, she requested from me and you to keep her sound a secret..." — Feeling sorry for the down mood his request placed on the Prince, Orland’s hand fell on his shoulder, hoping to comfort him in the kindness that allowed it. — "Can you continue to help us with that?"
"I understand... it does seem appropriate..."
"I’ll go talk with your Father now... You should also rest a little, brat."
"I’ll wait-"
"It’s not a suggestion." — Strict, Orland said, honouring his word to the child. — "Go to your chambers, wash up and rest a little before you try seeing Marianne. The least she needs now is to feel concerned about us... I’ll do the same. Just go, Zeleskiaz... For your well-being and hers."
"...."
Without truly replying, both men went into separate ways, Zeleskiaz followed by his right hand who had come given the good news.
