Another plan?
Forgetting her status and position, she held onto the man who was passing a bit of warmth to her and leaned on his shoulders as she poured her every grievance out through tears and closed her eyes.
Arden froze and his whole body turned stiff when he felt her soft head leaning on his chest. His gaze moved down after a few seconds when he saw only a head full of hair was leaning on to him while her soft hands were clutching to his shirt so tightly as if she was afraid that even he would vanish if she did not hold him tightly,
He knew that the girl was not in her senses or she would have never hugged just the son of a count who was below her rank.
For her, ranks were everything, so he had seen her all her life working hard and trying to make a name for herself, he knew that she had done all that only to get the attention of his master.
Except him, everyone else was like air in her eyes. That was why she had never noticed his presence.
