"Lia how about we go to La Fila? I actually made a reservation when I, found out that you can go out now..." Karina spoke.
(La Fila the place where the place that Viscount Ernel owns...)
Okay let's go Karina! Aurelia said enthusiastically...
Ernel is Aurelia's favorite character from the novel, it's because she related to one of the characters. To not be able to tell someone how you feel about them.
He isn't the most handsome among the characters but he's been with Georgia the longest and he is a great cook, his cooking skills got his restaurant the most famous and delicious foods served.
The restaurant it was packed when they got there thankfully Karina reserved seats.
They ate and the food was to die for!
They were having lots of fun until...
Lia and Karina saw Duke Bellingham with Georgia they were having a date. Karina was devastated because her Fiancé was with another girl and they looked like they are the one engaged. If in the novel Karina would just go there shamelessly and splash water on Georgia because she a villainess but no Karina ran outside and got in the carriage and started crying pitifully.
Lia followed her because she needed to comfort this pitiful friend of hers.
" Karina? I know you're not okay and you feel devastated but that's okay just let it all out. "
Lia said while the carriage moved to get them home.
" How could he do this to me Lia? Am I lacking do I have a terrible personality ? Am I not pretty enough? Is my status lacking? Karina asked...
" No Karina you're not lacking anything. You're perfect and you have a kind personality, The Duke is the one who is clearly cross eyed for cheating on you. And there are many men and even women who adore you Karina.
Lia said spouting the truth."
" Don't worry Karina you'll find the one ,we're still young, and the Duke is not good for you I heard he has a terrible personality. Lia said comforting Karina. "
" Pfft "
Karina laughed,
" oh Lia you're the best friend ever, thank you for looking out for me. And how'd you even know he has a terrible attitude where do you get your sources from hahahaha. Karina said feeling happy again. "
"You know what the best revenge for the Duke is?"
Lia asking Karina.
" No, what is it? " Karina asked
" You break your engagement with him girl! "
Lia said.
" We can't have you marry an ungrateful bastard, you're too precious Karina, so what if he's a Duke? And if he's a hero for the empire. That doesn't change the fact that he overlooked a precious gem like you Karina! "
"Really?"
Karina who was shocked to know that her friend just cursed.
" I'm thankful that you're with me Lia,I really am."
Karina said to Lia.
" I am too Karina. "
Lia responded and hugged Karina.
As they headed home.
"Lia,"
"Yes"
" I'll do it , I will break the engagement. and leave that ungrateful one. "
Karina said confidently.
"But I'll have to do it tomorrow because it's late now"
"Yes, that's it I'm proud of you Karina!
And I'm sure that there is already going to be people lining up to court you! "
Lia said enthusiastically.
The next day~
Lia stayed at Karina's place to comfort her.
Karina who was feeling better thanked Lia, and joined her father to talk about her engagement with the Duke.
" Father, I want to break my engagement
with Duke Bellingham."
"Darling why so suddenly? I thought you were okay marrying him? "
" Yes, I was okay with the wedding father, But not until I found out the Duke already had someone he loves."
" What do you mean Karina? "
The Duke then again asked with a dark expression.
" Me and Lia saw him father, he was confessing to someone and apparently he said he will never love me to his lover. "
" That bastard! "
" How dare him cheat on my precious daughter!"
The Duke said without hesitation.
" But that's okay Father, Lia had already comforted me and said that the best revenge I can do to him is let him see what he lost. That's why I plan to break the engagement and find someone who will love me father. "
" And that is if you will let me father. "
" Of course Karina all, I want is for you to be happy and safe."
" Don't worry Karina I will break the engagement instantly, and this time, I will let you chose who you want to be with but please choose someone who will treasure you until the end and will not look at anyone else. "
Duke Helbert said feeling sorry for his daughter.
" Thank you father you're the best man in the whole empire! "
Karina said being thankful for having an understanding father such as Duke Helbert.
Karina went to Lia's place and told her the news.
" Lia! "
" Father let me break the engagement and allowed me to date anyone I want. " Karina said to Lia happily.
" Karina that's great! , I'm really happy for you. "
Lia responded to Karina.
" Karina but also you're not angry at the woman whom the Duke confessed to are you? "
Lia asked concerned that her friend might take revenge and harm Georgia.
" Of course not Lia, eventhough she did make the Duke fall in love with her that wasn't her fault and even if she did it intentionally it's okay because the Duke is the one at fault for not taking the time to know me first and believed all the bad rumours about me. "
Karina said wisely
" Then I'm really proud of you Karina, I really wish that you'll find the right one. "
But also remember that even if we have no man we can still be happy. "
" Yes, Lia I'm also proud of you and thankful for being there with me. "
" Karina my debut to society is going to happen soon do you want to help me find the dress I'm going to wear? "
