When the Marquess returned home, he noticed that there was a figure waiting in the foyer. A small, cute figure. She carefully peeked around the wall to see what his mood was.
After waiting for a very long time, she saw him enter through the front gates of the manor. Her dad was back.
He noticed the slight redness around her eyes, a clear sign she'd been crying.
He knew why. She was scared... He probably scared her by telling her that the Holy Temple would snatch her away from him. His eyes narrowed, they would have to kill him first to be able to 'snatch' her away.
He had expected to feel anger, towards her for putting herself at risk so publicly or towards the circumstances that gave him endless worries, but he was surprised.
He wasn't angry at all. How could he feel angry looking at her? When she looked back at him with that cute face... He could see his Elizabeth in her.
