Chapter: 4

Kaya shakes his head trying to not think about his past.

Something has been bothering him since before. He heaves a sighs and says, " How long will you keep following me? "

He's bothered by a woman who following him with no discretion at all.

The woman who's hiding herself behind a tree shows up, a bit embarrassed, she says, " Since when did you know I was following you? "

Kaya, " Since the beginning! "

Actually, he noticed her since the moment he woke up.

Because Kaya is not willing to look at her, she runs and stops right before him, " I need to talk to you! "

Kaya lower his gaze toward the woman's face, his eyes widen slightly, " You're the. . . "

He stops in the middle of his sentence. The woman standing before him is the woman who was robbed by the little boy yesterday.

Today, her black hair is tied up in a ponytail. Judging by the mark on her cheek, someone probably slapped her.

" I don't won't to talk to you " Kaya says as he walks away.

She walks faster, trying to reach him, " Please, listen to me! It's really important "

He ignores her.

She yells, " I-I'll pay for your breakfast! "

Kaya's eyes widen from excitement when he hears the word 'breakfast'. Only then he stops.

They are now in a backery. Kaya is eating a whole cake. The woman who's sitting before him frowns at how disgraceful Kaya is eating.

The woman, " Actually, I'm working for a modest family in the Dalia Kingdom. "

Before her, Kaya keeps eating.

The woman continues, " One week ago, their only son received a marriage proposal. . . ARE YOU LISTENING? "

All the people are now looking at her, she just mutters a " Sorry! "

Kaya says with his mouth full, " You're working in the Dalia Kingdom, . . . What are doing here then! It's pretty far from where work"

The woman bits her lip, feeling uncomfortable.

" So? " Kaya asks.

" W-Well, I come here. . . because I've discovered that my husband his having an affair with a woman in this Kingdom. . ."

Kaya looks at the slaps mark on her cheek, "Guess that you find her! Was she the one who slapped you or is it your husband? "

" None of your business!!. . . I mean, I'm not here to talk about my life "

" Why are you here then ! " He asks confused.

He first thought that she wanted him to take care of her husband and his mistress.

" As I told you, my employer's son get a marriage proposal but he doesn't want to accept " She said while lowering her voice.

Kaya mocks, " Is she that ugly? "

" It's a man! " The woman declares in a flat tone.

Kaya lets out a: " Oh~! Whatever if it's a woman or a man why doesn't he just refuse if doesn't want to"

" Neither, his parents and him are in the position to do so! Actually, the one who proposed him is a duke " She bites her lower lip feeling bad for her employers and their son.

Kaya finished to eat. He lost all interested to listen her story. He wanted to leave. Nonchalantly, he asks , " Isn't getting married to a duke a good thing? "

" They'll thought the same if it wasn't the duke Fyldred "

Kaya never heard that name before and he doesn't want to know about him.

" People said that he's hideous and crual! Torturing his servants is one of his hobbies and more importantly, he even killed his own mother"

Kaya raises his brow, septic, " It's probably not true! "

From what he's seen , people love to speculate about others' life.

Her black eyes widen and her voice raises " If everyone who knows him say that then it must be true! "

Kaya takes the spoon in front of him then lick it, "Anyway, what are you waiting from me then!"

She takes a deep breath then say " Take his place! "

The spoon Kaya was holding drops on the table, " What!? "
