Memories of past

At Raven's sudden voice, she turned her head. Raven, who first thought she might be talking to the Marchioness, was already stroking Robert's head—before he knew it.

"Well, I can't really tell you since it's a secret between the two of us."

"Yes, it's a secret—from my sister."

Robert, who dismissed Raven's hand, said it proudly. He slightly flinched at Raven's expression at first, but the child soon overcame his fear by holding onto Seraphina's hand.

"It's the Young Master, who had never followed Young Lady Alaric…"

"Didn't you say that Duchess Everwyn has just arrived here? It's amazing to see that they've already become so close."

The people around her were busy buzzing about the special relationship between the two of them. Even Arjan, who had been here for such a long time, still couldn't win Robert's favor and was merely hanging around. Meanwhile, the exceptional relationship between Seraphina and Robert unveiled a much starker contrast.
