Francis

"Because I am aware of your affection for me," Adela said abruptly with a smile.

Adela and Camilla were drinking tea and chatting, but Adela could not tell Camilla about her rebirth. She just told Camilla about her plans for the evening. When Camilla learned Adela had decided to attend the party, she questioned Adela in a startled tone.

"What? You recently had a fever, Adela, and now you want to go to the royal palace?"

Adela smiled as she responded, "Yeah, but now I am well."

She glanced up at Camilla and apologized to herself for not being able to tell her the truth.

Camilla looked into Adela's eyes and asked, "Are you sure everything is okay?"

Adela gave a simple head nod to express that everything was well. A maid abruptly entered the room and said, "milady, Lord Francis is here. He is awaiting you outside your garden."

Adela's face lit up as she heard the maid's remark.

"Francis"

As she turned to face Camilla, a wide smile curled over her lips. The last thing she remembered, Camilla and Francis were married. Adela was the one who helped them get married. She was aware of Camilla's affection for Francis. Camilla was scared to tell Francis how she felt. Adela was the one who helped Camilla express her feelings to Francis.

But when they got married, something happened to Camilla. She started going to Adela's house less often. Adela tried hard to find out the truth, but she was unable. Perhaps something happened between Francis and Camilla.

Adela took a long breath and thought about everything. But this time, Adela would assist them as well. She wouldn't allow them to break down once more. As she thought, she stood to her feet, holding Camilla's hands, and spoke, "Come on, let's meet him".

When Camilla heard Adela, she said in a trembling voice, "Why me, Adela?"

When Francis's topic came up, she always felt anxious.

Adela stated in a stern voice, "I want you to meet him, so please come quickly."
