MY NAME IS MARY!

She hopped in the carriage with Hugh helping her.

"You didn't really need to see me out…"

Leticia said with a smile.

Hugh was in a daze seeing that and later on, smiles.

"No, something like this is fine."

"Alright, if you said so…"

Leticia felt like the embarrassment of that night was buried in the grave and now Hugh can act the way he always acts around her.

'It's a good thing…' She thought to herself.

In that way, she wouldn't need to think about things so much and make theories and conclusions in her head.

As they left the mansion, Austin, who was there as her escort suddenly say something.

"I've never seen the Duke like that."

She looked at him and wondered what he was suddenly getting at.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean… we've never seen the Duke interact with a woman before. That itself was already a surprise for us, his knights. But the way he acted towards you…"

Austin stared at Leticia.
