Scarlet pov contd.

"What kind of a man would be able to win the heart of the ladyship?" the question was rather sudden and i replied instinctively,

"A loyal one!" After seeing a lot of deception around me, I am sure this was the most difficult trait to find in a man.

"You are precious, my lady and you deserve the best. Do not take yourself for granted. I am sure a great man will come into your life someday.`` I chuckled at his words but it was full of bitterness.

His face formed into a frown but he did not say a word too and we walked silently towards the carriage.

"My lady." I looked back at the man who had crossed the distance silently as if he was not even there.
