After finishing their breakfast together, Leonard and Ophelia shared a lingering moment of companionship before reluctantly parting ways to prepare for the day ahead.
With a gentle squeeze of Ophelia's hand, Leonard rose from his seat, his gaze lingering on her for a moment longer before he turned to make his way back to his own chambers.
As he walked through the corridors of the grand estate, Leonard couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him, fueled by the knowledge that Ophelia was by his side.
Upon reaching his chambers, Leonard wasted no time getting ready for the day ahead. He quickly shed his morning attire, exchanging it for a more formal ensemble befitting his station as the Duke of Octavius.
With practiced efficiency, Leonard meticulously groomed himself, ensuring that every detail was perfect before he made his appearance in the public eye.
