Lord Walter Herbert notices that Lady Anastasia has a feeling towards his second grandson ,Lord Edgar Herbert.
He notices just by seeing her face.
Her expression towards Lord Edgar is different than when she talks to other people.
Even when she talks to Lord Nicolas ,her expression is not like when she has a talk with Lord Edgar.
Well, Lord Nicolas and Lady Anastasia are engaged to be fiance couples just by the order of the Tsar and Master Gregory Grosvenor.
So, its not bounded by love
But, they are bounded by order.
So, Lord Walter Herbert understands and he seen that Lady Anastasia is falling in love for real.
Lord Walter Herbert smiles and he doesn't mind ,because he is her mentor since Lady Anastasia was a small child.
And Lord Walter had considered Lady Anastasia like his own daughter.
Because her father, Master Gregory never have much care towards her and he always been busy with his millitary matters.
Lord Walter himself, who has always spend a lot time with her.
And by teaching her when she was a young child ,Lord Walter knows everything about her.
Lord Walter is like her father figure towards Lady Anastasia more than Master Gregory as her real father.
Lord Walter thinks in his mind,
"If Anastasia marries with my second grandson ,i'll accept her with open arms. Her future will be much brighter and happier with us ,the Herbert family rather been chained with his strict father."
As her father figure, Lord Walter Herbert is truly loves and cares towards Anastasia.
Lady Anastasia and Lord Edgar are enjoying themselves on having a conversation together.
Lord Walter also surprised to see Anastasia smiles when she was talking towards Edgar.
Its been a long time to see her smiling like that.
And then after they talk for a while, Lord Walter goes towards them.
As Anastasia and Lord Walter meet ,they hug each other.
Anastasia smiles and releases a tear as she hugs him.
Master Gregory is frustrated to see his own daughter hugs Lord Walter Herbert, because Anastasia never hugs him at all as father and daughter.
"Why Anastasia is willing to hug Walter rather than his own true father?",he thought.
Lord Nicolas also sees their relationship and he just notices that they have a close relationship.
And he also notices that Anastasia has an interest with Edgar and he is preparing a plan to used that relationship.
Lord Nicolas had notices their relationship since Lady Anastasia looks towards Lord Edgar for the first time.
Lord Nicolas let her be ,because he also wants Anastasia to find her true love and that is the best for her to keep her away from Master Gregory.
He wants her to have a good ending ,because himself also been strangled by his father, which is the Tsar himself.
But, he thinks that the good ending for him is not to find a true love and a peaceful future.
He thinks that the good future for himself is to take the throne of the Tsar and make Russia a better nation for its people.
