The day had come, several weeks later and the two of them went in the carriage with the three children onwards towards a Noble Family called the Parcival Family... that was the saddest day of her life and she knew her son's life too.
Every second was eternal as if Toki was mercilessly pulling the strings of time to make her pain longer. He probably was.
She looked at her son's visage, he hadn't looked at her even once. Sad, outraged, possibly disappointed in her... maybe a big chunk of that boundless love he felt for her just disintegrated.
The kids were confused, they could feel their parent's eeriness, Katherine tried to pull daddy's sleeve and as a response he held her tightly in his arms, caressing her hair, her big eyes looked at him in wonder as if asking 'Daddy? are you okay?'
Likewise, Gerald and Casper clung to Isabella who received them with tears in her eyes, unlike Constantine at least she tried to smile and play.
