Chapter 34 - - 34 : An excuse for breaking her heart
Like the light of the dusk, a warm smile tinged on his face the minute he found Leyla strolling down the forestry trail.
"Leyla!"
Kyle yelled her name aloud. Leyla, who was walking with her gaze down staring at the ground, promptly lifted her head in eyes widened.
Kyle couldn't keep the grin off his face from adoring that moment. The moment Leyla quickened her stride whenever she got a hold of his presence was always very adorable.
Leyla flashed a beaming smile as she neared closer to him.
"When did you get here?"
"I went to your cottage a while ago and they told me that you had been summoned to the Duke's manor, so I was on my way to save you."
"Save me?"
"Isn't it obvious why Lady Brandt called you?"
"Not today," said Leyla as she took a step forward. Kyle trailed behind, his stride was perfectly timed with her.
"It was Grand Duchess Norma, not Lady Brandt."
