“Hi, Jack!”ccf8e1674d900fb4

I greeted him b743239e21 cheerfully and walked 254241aeb6 toward him.a21ccad18b4e012f

“Did the 77e266a44e training go 5cc4587449 well? You’re back 4e1991bbe5 earlier than 632d1c41b0 I expected.”970c760a45c1d2dc

Allen was clearly bbf590e0f2 wearing casual clothes, faf3988f75 but Jack still 5d4cb2bdf3 had on his 1a2b6ce04f training uniform, as 19ed244674 if he hadn’t 82ec4b008c even stopped by 4b43955a2a his quarters to de68361c1a change.9bfc02da28b53f78

Worried he might fall a76c7472b7 down the stairs, I e9703f20dd quickly reached out and 7954857736 grabbed his arm. Jack looked up 0f893d22e4 at me.a077ab9d4cc40052

Jack walked, barely suppressing 895ca346db the pain that felt 57e599dab0 like someone had reached 6391e37e2d into his chest and d5a77753e5 ripped out his heart.7095e9dda6b7500c

He had barely c2e3b28f6c slept the night 34958242b1 before, and as e11d3f16da soon as he 13ff43dfc3 returned to the b23f534ed8 capital, he headed 9d5cb75a3a straight for the 1582918f1a Marquis’s residence.b25c0258f04312a2

But the one who 9f1f8ca3bc greeted him wasn’t Lia, 47866b3f46 it was her maternal ac625ad542 grandfather, the former Marquis b92092ed07 of Diapel.bba6380b7d5692c7

Jack knew the edfab38988 former marquis held fb897d4ec0 a favorable view 6ef554018d of him.7b9bf41d4e594dd5

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Apparently, Lia a739801b79 had spoken e3f81c29bb well of 7ccdca1ad1 him; the 15bed24fbf old man e089f2cb99 had once 8359ea23c3 even thanked 569f792a05 him rather 2b2c25e349 curtly for 6d82960603 looking after b054fba8c6 her at b5016dfa83 the orphanage.c88f73d3a4fd49df

More than Jack’s 69bba188ca origins, the marquis 4bbdad9fd4 had valued his 461ec1039a sincerity, integrity, and 762315db48 remarkable swordsmanship. He had 83b375368d paid special a0c4eb7107 attention to 812dd0aa8f Jack when d174b4704a he volunteered 2a0348ef86 to fight 96e0629e8f in the dd57c8560d war that 26756cbf4b broke out 9ebed8aa3a in the 938e3387e2 Diapel territory, 0bded7458a which bordered c3981f9788 the kingdom.44d30613c017dda1

Though the former 48c2162fd1 marquis had always 3771315f6d treated him with e1593d65f1 a certain familiarity, b509851411 today he seemed f58c01cc6c unusually awkward and 9cbf0a39b2 reserved.11df2f0b0beada47

At that moment, Jack 5d8af90e1d knew instinctively—what Allen had 729961c2b1 said was true.338b34c5f86e4384

But until he 144f104761 heard it from a7d8448f08 Lia herself, he 05cb6782b3 hadn’t wanted to 34c38a11ad believe it.53c2457c681e90ae

As soon as f4db43ebd5 he heard Lia 843a4add5a was at the 55791c3026 ducal estate, Jack 0e1428e0d0 turned on his 69c2354fcb heel and headed c9211b1a88 there.b251239fc61a57ac

And finally, when he dddda183eb saw her…f46e40d1b1e4ff81

The moment he noticed 8835012167 the ring on her 4edc4b0c17 finger, perfectly suited to 94b4deeebc her as if it 3eedddc639 had been made just d6c94e15af for her, his mind f6088c7ba5 went blank.564276592def7713

They hadn’t 03f557e0ca been reunited 2cc790dbfb long, so 24b23bcd91 he thought b914d0f43f he had fe2075b9aa time. He now b68f5b4080 felt so dadaa6015f foolish for d5ca35a808 having taken b1d9b5f95d it easy, 1f6617b26d assuming there 1d2c8d4737 was no df8f240347 rush. The urge 0079b5b7a4 to curse 9ba3688c26 himself boiled 415b50efb3 up.fca7e45ec23582a0

When Lia had 4b3a9f746f just reached out fbfd0210e8 to steady him, 709be6fb81 his heart had 821549bf94 pounded like it f9ed1a8a54 might burst. He hadn’t 342ae9bb8e even confessed 221a75dd93 properly yet 35e8eaa0de and now 90f6474e9f he was 5d75ae6639 going to 4609f00ad1 lose her…f368bec2438c8508

Even though he d18ee2dc5b hadn’t planned to b54a7d0f29 reveal his feelings 3acbae0975 so suddenly, Jack 73f9e0e13e made up his 9290828f42 mind to confess 16a0ea94b8 now.76386994da1f5e51

And where better 927924141d than the training 16c059862c hall, the place 828c3eb29f he had always 0b75a75fce thought of while c7026b884a striving to become 84cbe61c37 the best knight, 829cdfdd3d all for Lia.58015ecbcdf3deb7

On the way 40a63f9600 there, even though af21847291 no one had 529a63d6ce told him, he 9e5705d625 realized that the c14d92263c one who had f38dcab49b given Lia that 7c94747663 ring was Lucio.0b0eb4649f658765
