On the other hand, Luciana was startled by Leo's sudden movement. She instinctively hugged the Cardan from behind.
Cardan felt like he could die right there. He looked at Leo with loving eyes. Such a nice beast. His brother certainly had good taste.
As Cardan supported Duke Maverick by clutching his shoulder, Luciana regained her composure and released her grip on him, gradually getting accustomed to Leo's pace. She cleared her throat, ''Tell me more about Leo's past,'' she said after giving it a thought.
Although she knew the matters on the surface, she understood that there was more to it. Rather than panicking about Esme's impending wedding, Luciana found it easier to know more about Leo to keep herself distracted.
If they did not make it before Esme got married...
Luciana's eyes darkened slightly as she could already imagine Esme's and Aleister's fierce gaze in her mind.
