As he arrives to the fifth floor ,he sees two senior maids which are Yulia and Natalya.
Yulia is holding a tray with a plate full of biscuits on it and Natalya is holding a tray that theres two bottle of wine on it.
Both of them bows and greets Master Gregory ,"Welcome back ,Master."
Master Gregory nods and asks ,"This biscuits and wine is for whom?"
Yulia answers ,"It is for Lord Nicolas ,Master."
Master Gregory then says ,"Alright then ,both of you could continue."
Then, Yulia and Natalya are walking towards Lord Nicolas's room.
Master Gregory then says to himself ,"After i meet my daughter ,i want to have a talk with my son-in-law."
Then, he walks towards Lady Anastasia's room.
And as he arrived there, Ivan salutes and says ,"Welcome back, General!"
Master Gregory asks ,
"How's my daughter?"
Ivan replies ,"Yes ,General! ,i guard her with my life for 24 hours and 'til now she's still safe and well ,General!"
Master Gregory says ,"Good ,as expected for the best and the strongest millitary soldier at the Russian millitary army. Keep up the good work ,Ivan."
Ivan replies ,"Yes ,General! ,i do my best to guard your daughter ,General!"
Master Gregory nods and says ,
"Alright ,i wanted to see my daughter."
Then, Ivan moves aside.
And Master Gregory knocks the door and says ,"Anastasia ,i returned."
Theres no reply of Anastasia after he said that.
So, then he says, "I'm going in ,alright."
Then, he opens the door and close it again slowly
He sees her lovely daughter holding a red rose and she is staring towards the window.
Master Gregory says ,"Anastasia my dear daughter ,i returned."
Lady Anastasia just stay quiet and nods.
Master Gregory says ,"I'm sorry that i can't spent the time with you like a father and daughter should be before you got married with the lord duke. You know i have to work for the safety and the defense of our beloved nation."
Lady Anastasia got scratched a little by the roses's thorn and one of her finger bleeds.
Master Gregory says ,"Anastasia ,your finger is bleeding! ,don't worry i'll call the maid."
But then Lady Anastasia says in a low voice ,"Its no need."
Then, she leaves her room and put the rose at her desk.
Master Gregory been left alone at her room.
Master Gregory exhales his breath and says ,"Her face is truly similar like her mother as she grows up. She had grown up to be a beautiful woman.
My dear daughter must be really mad at me.
Well ,millitary matters are more important than a family. So i accept this consequences. The nation's safety is more important than just a single family. Indeed ,i love my family ,but my love for my beloved nation is much bigger. I willing to die for this nation and i even willing to sacrificing my own family for Russia."
Meanwhile ,he doesn't know that Lady Anastasia hears his words in front of her room.
She pretends to leave the room.
As she hears her father's words ,she got even frustrated and her hatred upon her father filled her entire mind.
Then, she leaves and says in a low voice ,"You never care of me and mom ,even after mom's death ,you still don't care ,always think about your work for the nation."
Then, Master Gregory leaves Lady Anastasia's room and he decides to meet Lord Nicolas.
