''How are you doing, father?'' Staring at the two noblemen entering the pavilion in fine aristocratic clothes, Rose stopped them from saying their greetings.

''Your daughter's name is not your majesty, father.'' Rose pointed out, meeting the grand duke's gaze with a solemn one. After everything that went on between them, did the grand duke want their distant relationship to remain the same by using formality and her title?

''.....'' The grand duke had a stunned look. 

''....Rose.'' He called out her name after a short pause. Even if he didn't express it on his face, he felt happy that his daughter took the initiative to deepen their relationship.

''How is your health now?'' He asked, surveying her in concern.

''I am doing fine, father. How are you as well, Nicholas?'' After replying to the grand duke, Rose wasn't rude to ignore the presence of her adopted brother.
