The count asked for lorina's presence in his office. When lorina went to the count's office,the count showed her the invitation from the Duke. After giving it some thoughts lorina told his father,' It's okay , father. If the Duke wishes for our presence then we should visit him and I'm perfectly fine with this idea' as she told it nonchalantly the count was speechless,' may be his Lovely Little daughter has already grown mature before his eyes without his knowledge'.
Lorina and the count went to the Duke's house, they were instructed to sit in the glass garden . Thankfully only the Duke was there , the count felt relieved as karson was not present at their tea time , he doesn't want his daughter lorina to be hurt by seeing him again. The Duke welcomed the count and Lorina with a warm tea.
Lorina knew that the Duke has no say in Karson's decision so she didn't mind the Duke's usual behaviour. The Duke always adored Lorina as a daughter because she was an exceptional child around her age kids.
While enjoying the pastries, the Duke ordered the desserts lorina used to like and told ' Lorina , I'm sorry dear , i always wanted you as my daughter but I never considered you two's opinion. It's my fault dear, but you know that I'll always think of you as my daughter, right?' the Duke expressed his regrets.
Lorina could feel the sincerity in the Duke's words so ' Oh it's not your fault Duke Melvin , and I hope karson to be happy with whoever he loves' finally... Finally lorina told her wish for karson but she didn't feel hurt as much .
The count felt proud about his daughter. Later when ,the count and lorina were about to leave , karson was coming towards the entrance.
