"Can I talk to you for a second, Tia?"
"Of course. Sit here, Larane."
Larane looked a little nervous.
I've already guessed the reason, but I acted like I didn't know anything.
"Would you like a cup of tea?"
"Oh, no. I've been drinking. And this one."
Larane, who hesitated for a while, held out a bunch of white flowers.
Tiny flowers the size of a thumb were tied up in abundance.
"It's Langpa flower. It smells strong, so it's good to put it by the window."
"Thank you, Larane. I'm also enjoying the flower tea you gave me last time."
"Tell me whenever you need it, Tia. I have a lot."
"Huh. There's always something to be grateful for from Larane."
It didn't mean much.
Larane, who blinked her big blue eyes without a word, said in a small voice.
"The one to thank is me, Tia!"
Larane's two hands on her knees seemed to clench the hem of her dress.
"Thank you for today. I came by to say that."
Larane's voice even trembled slightly.
"Hmm, Larane. I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
I asked carefully.
"Huh? Oh, no! That's not what I meant, Tia."
Larane replied, shaking her hands in surprise.
"Thanks to you, I was able to see Sir Avinox..."
A faint smile appeared on Larane's face, which was slightly bowed.
That was a pretty smile.
I asked a little mischievously.
"You like Sir Avinox so much, Larane?"
"Huh? Oh, that's..."
Oh, my God.
One question from me made Larane's face so red that she couldn't blush anymore.
She used to be shy because of her personality, but I've never seen such a red face.
"Sir Avinox, makes me laugh."
It was a word that Larane brought up after a long time.
"You know, I'm a little timid, so I feel awkward and nervous when I'm with people. But when I'm with Sir Avinox, I find myself smiling."
"Comfortably..."
"Because I can see that he is a person who truly cares about me. I guess I'm relieved."
Larane looked very comfortable saying that.
"What a strange thing, Tia. I've never been so comforted by my parents who gave birth to me or my younger brother who grew up with me."
I patted the back of Larane's hand, who said something bitter.
"For the time being, think only of yourself, Larane. If Larane is happy and comfortable, that's it."
"Tia..."
Larane looked at me with trembling eyes and smiled bitterly.
"As expected, you know about the marriage."
"What's going on?"
"Fortunately, nothing has been decided yet. It's just that my parents tell me to get ready. I think there are a few candidates."
"Candidate?"
"Tia knows that. Now my father's situation is a little complicated."
"Ah..."
I ended up sighing.
Viese is now considering where to marry his daughter to benefit him the most.
There is only one daughter, and having an in-law through marriage can be a huge opportunity or a card to cover up big mistakes.
"I know how selfish it is to accept Sir Avinox's heart in this situation. But I like Sir Avinox so much..."
Larane's voice was tremble.
Larane, who grew up hearing that she had to marry a person who was decided for the convenience of her family.
You probably feel enormous guilt just because you fell in love with Avinox ahead of your marriage.
I quietly moved to the opposite seat.
And I hugged Larane tightly.
"As I said a little while ago, only think of yourself, Larane. Nothing has been decided yet, so don't be so sad already."
"Thank you, Tia..."
Larane's body trembled.
I brushed her back and told Larane in her ear.
"It's okay, Larane. Because no one knows what's going to happen."

A few days later.
Gallahan was greeted with discomfort by a sudden visit to the clothing store.
He didn't even contact him in advance and came to the office located in the main branch of the Gallahan Clothing Store.
The random visit without a word meant that he already knew when and where Gallahan was.
In addition, Gallahan was very nervous and clenched his fist, because the one who came to meet him was his opponent.
But he didn't show any signs of it.
Rather, he straightened his chest and asked the visitor in a calm voice.
"What brings you here all of a sudden, Lord Chanton Sussew."
