As Ophelia approached the waiting carriage, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Crown Prince Liam for his thoughtful gesture.
With Leonard by her side, she carefully ascended the steps leading up to the carriage, her hand resting lightly on the railing for support.
Leonard stood beside her, his presence a reassuring anchor, as she prepared to board the carriage.
With a gentle smile, Leonard offered Ophelia his hand; his gesture was both chivalrous and supportive.
Ophelia accepted his hand with a grateful nod; her fingers were gently placed on top of his as she stepped up into the carriage.
As Ella, her maidservant, boarded the carriage, her eyes were still rooted to the Leonard and Liam figures outside the carriage as the door was slowly closed until their figures were out of her sight.
She leaned into the carriage window and watched their figure as the carriage started moving towards their destination.
