Yusoph heard what Mary had said and he started to stop the sudden shedding of his tears.
"I'm really truly sorry, my lady, Mary." Yusoph said to Mary.
While Mary continuously wipes Yusoph's tears, she said "That doesn't matter at all! It's just very normal for humans to cry but to be honest, I didn't even know why you started wetting your face" Mary replied to Yusoph's words.
"It's nothing, My Lady. If you were really curious about why I cried, it's just because of the basket of food you have given me, My Lady." Yusoph reasoned falsely to Mary.
The truth was Yusoph had been really on the edge of his happiness due to him just knowing his lady's name, her whole name to be exact.
After five seconds of Mary wiping Yusoph's tears with her own handkerchief, she finally finished drying off his tears.
Mary started putting back her heavily wetted and soiled pure white handkerchief into the pocket of her white dress.
"Since you already stopped on your emotional bond with your tears, Yusoph, I need to go on my own way now, okay? And also, please always take care of yourself" Mary gave Yusoph a heads-up for her departure and a gentle reminder for Yusoph's safety.
Yusoph was quite really sad about what he heard from the lady, he didn't even know what will happen in the future, and he can only wish Mary a safety farewell.
"Thank you so much, My Lady, please also take care of yourself while you are on your way," he said to Mary.
Mary heard Yusoph's wishful safety farewell and because of that, she gave him the most beautiful smile she could ever make and only exclusive for the beggar in front of her.
"Okay, that's it! Goodbye Yusoph, I am indeed really happy that I met someone like you while visiting Utopium." Mary's farewell message to Yusoph, and she started to turn her back on the beggar and continued her travel to her desired destination.
"Goodbye!" Yusoph replied, "My Lady, Mary" he added silently.
Mary continued on her travel to reach the Grandest Building within the city of Utopium.
After walking for about twenty minutes because of lacking a coin to ride a carriage as a means of faster transportation, she finally reached the Gran'dea's Utopium Hall.
Mary saw the huge hall that was almost made from refined gold and pure white crystals.
Mary hesitated at first when she saw the Grand Hall but she set it aside for now.
She finally went inside because of a certain person in the society who invited her through a letter that her parents had given her.
There are almost a hundred unoccupied tables inside the hall, to be precise there's only one table that had been partially occupied and the rest of the tables had been left empty.
She knew that the sender of the letter must be on THAT table, so she decided to go straight to that table to finish her business with the unknown person.
After about forty seconds of walking to reach the specific round table, she successfully arrived.
Mary saw that there was only one person currently settled down on the expensive golden chair of the round table, and surprisingly it was a man in his forties.
Mary saw the facial features of the man and he was quite very handsome despite his estimated age.
The man had golden-irised eyes and golden hair paired with his fair skin complexion.
The man initiated to stand up from his chair and approaches Mary.
"You must be Mary Fredellin, right?" the man directly said to Mary.
"Yes, indeed, I am Mary Fredellin." Mary's reply to the spoken word of the man in front of her.
After Mary responded, the man in his forties quickly reaches out to her and hugged her emotionally.
Mary was quite astounded on her feet and it was because of what the man had just done to her.
The man wrapped both his arms gently around the body of Mary while a hint of sadness and gladness can be seen on the man's face.
Mary couldn't tolerate the action of the man anymore and she initiated to break the hugging action of the man and she pushed him!
"What are you doing? Why did you give me a sudden hug? I don't even know who you are! I just received the letter you had given me and I thought you are a gentleman based on how you wrote the letter!" Mary said to the man in his forties while Mary was having fearful look in her eyes.
"I'm really sorry, Mary. I'm really, really sorry. I didn't mean to do that without your consent. It's just some sudden burst of emotional response when I saw you." The man replied to the angry Mary with a saddened look on his face.
Mary saw the face of the handsome man in his forties and she decided to just disregard what had just happened and she said to the man "Forget about it, Mister. I have read the letter you sent me and you said that you know something about the answer that I am really curious about!".
"Yes, I know about the question that you have been trying to be answered, but first can we take our seats?" the man replied to Mary while asking her to take a seat before they dig into the topic that Mary was really curious about.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I forgot. Yes, we should take our seats." Mary awkwardly answered the man's request.
Both of them settled their butt on an expensive chair and tried to start the conversation.
"I know that you are quite curious about yourself, am I right?" the man said directly to Mary that had already recovered from the man's unexpected action.
"Yes, of course! Why am I here in the first place if I wasn't curious about it?" Mary harshly replied to the golden-haired man.
"As I expected!" the man smiled gently while casually replying, "You are truly…
