CHAPTER 83 (2) - So, Do You Mean We Should be Wed Now?

The next day, Patrizia entered the carriage heading towards the Grochester estate, with an excited look on her face. It was her hometown, which she had not been able to visit for the past few months. Patrizia murmured to herself with a happy expression, "How long has it been, since?"

"Are you that happy, Lizzy?"

Mirya had remained in the Empress Palace, so Rafaella had accompanied her as an escort. Patrizia nodded, and put a bright expression on her face, something absent for a long time.

"It has been a few months since I have been able to see their faces, so I am excited."

"Yes, you have had to deal with a lot of trouble these past few months," Rafaella agreed with a sad face, and soon added in a hopeful voice, "Let us stay until late into the night, without a care."

She did not know when she would be able to visit again after today. In a few words, it was a separation without promise of reuniting. Patrizia nodded as if she agreed.
