21:38
Speaker A
in her voice there's present I'd want to get she smiled broadly and said I want to go on a picnic the three of us to the Arvis Forest I'll take you to see the flower Fields this time Lea said
21:50
Speaker A
emphasizing the word this time to convey a deeper meaning Arbus has many beautiful flowers in the summer too she added with a smile and Mias nodded in agreement Lea do you know what your words mean to me they assure me that those happy days
22:03
Speaker A
were not just a dream or a deception Lea's expression grew serious don't pretend like you don't know she said studying his face closely don't tease me she added with a hint of disbelief she spoke confidently and his voice carried
22:18
Speaker A
the same firmness as when she scolded Felix unlike their son his father simply chuckled without shame leaving Leila feeling Hollow like a well devoid of water Leila I remember I do his melodious voice made Lea's lips quiver every element of you every inch of you
22:35
Speaker A
his eyes were silent and deep he was no longer beaming Leila would occasionally experience despair when she heard him say this in a cool contained manner I am mindful of your constant sarcasm Lea talked louder than she had hither to
22:49
Speaker A
Maas masterfully answered while keeping Lila in his gaze are you sure he fixed Lila with a stare that seemed to portray his will to not be captivated by her Leila though was ultimately the one who again avoided eye contact despite the
23:04
Speaker A
fact that these occurrences have increased lately and are both delightful and unpleasant at the same time like the two poles of magnet she did not feel strongly about them the car they were and turned into the platinous road and
23:15
Speaker A
headed for the mansion's great entrance while she waged War to make sense of the complicated and IL defined feelings she was feeling Lila stared out the car window with a pleasant expression on her face despite her internal anguish hoping
23:27
Speaker A
to find the answer in the Deep Blue Sky watch Felix is it not wonderful Lea gently held Felix and pointed him in the direction of what she was pointing at with her hand the platinus forest wipes a variety of hazy plants the young child
23:43
Speaker A
spoke excitedly using the terminology his mother had taught him Leila who was helping him with his pronunciation laughed and the child in turn laughed too their laughter made the summer in arva seem even more beautiful bringing back life to it hearing the joyful
23:58
Speaker A
voices of of the two of them maias gaze wandered to the road where her Fallen bicycle during a Summer Past had shaken his life the memories rushed back he vividly remembered the spinning wheels the rustling of leaves in the wind and
24:10
Speaker A
the pounding of his heart that overwhelmed him during that moment every part of his existence was saturated by the desire to linger and disappear and Maas treasured these lovely moments because they had become a part of who he
24:22
Speaker A
was now after leaving the platinous road the car entered the estate by driving past the ornate front gate at the mansion's front door Norma and matias's mother the two duchesses were waiting as the automobile comes to a stop Felix as
24:37
Speaker A
Nanny casually handed him over to them welcome home Maas Norma smiled broadly and greeted her grandson saying and you too Leila she continued even when she looked at Lila her expression was as kind as ever the reception was quite
24:52
Speaker A
different from what it was like last summer El Le AV on her heart who had previously made no attempt to conceal her disdain for her daughter-in-law was displaying a relatively gentle attitude today as Leila prepared to enter the
25:04
Speaker A
main hall she couldn't help but glance towards the far end beneath the stairs the same spot where a young orphan girl once stood her gaze filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity as she looked upon the young duke it would have
25:16
Speaker A
been unimaginable for the young girl to conceive that she would one day Ascend to the rank of Duchess the world was unpredictable and beautiful ways if anyone had made such a claim to her during her childhood she would have
25:27
Speaker A
deemed them insane yet that future knew no rules in fact she still struggled to come to terms with it she still thought she was dreaming to exist in this dazzling epic as the wife of a man who could only be her partner in secret L of
25:41
Speaker A
on her heart was an unusual and perplexing concept there were moments when she found it hard to reconcile feeling as though her life was but a Fantastical dream it was only through maias who constantly served as a grounding force that she was able to
25:55
Speaker A
return to a sense of reality letun go Leila at the sound of a voice that was like a familiar Beacon Lea slowly lifted her head in response her senses were heightened by taking a deep breath together they walked into the Duke's
26:09
Speaker A
Hall Leila slowly and carefully climbing the steps her mind occupied by the plans she had for this summer The Grand marble staircase and dazzling chandelier light still held an intimidating presence to her she thought about the idea of having
26:22
Speaker A
a picnic with the three of them perhaps taking a walk along a path lined with Wild Roses or visiting the field of violets in the birchwoods at the end of the road she believed it would be nice to see the flock of water birds flying
26:34
Speaker A
over the shilter river at Sunset but the place where the Vista appears most picturesque is on the Striking tree that grows alongside the river however would that be a feasible possibility for Maas Von her heart even though she knew it
26:47
Speaker A
was a Preposterous thought Lea gave it serious consideration hey maty Lea whispered his name and Mias directed his gaze towards her are you able to climb a tree she asked in a hushed tone mindful of the possibility that the two leading
27:02
Speaker A
duchesses might overhear her the wrinkles on matias's forehead which had been smooth till now deepened I can teach you if you don't know how Lea said with a straight face even though the idea was absurd do you want to climb it
27:16
Speaker A
with me because he found it difficult to accept what he was hearing at this moment Mias had been distracted for some time Leila's eyes were fixed intently on him even at that precise moment only to get her answer I'm not press ing you
27:29
Speaker A
Lila continued embarrassed at the last minute I'll abide by your wishes Lea felt like she was sinking deeper and deeper into the muck as she talked but there was no turning back the two eventually arrived at the center of the
27:41
Speaker A
hallway that led from the central staircase to the reception area I'll do as you say mithas responded unexpectedly and lowered his head courteously leunk expression was bewildered never do it silently shouting Lea pleaded with Mias but he didn't appear to hear her my
27:59
Speaker A
queen he said softly in her ear making her blush in shame Mias continued to casually twirl despite her clear disdain a scowl engraved on his features it was an odd circumstance Leela eventually burst into joyous laughter which only
28:13
Speaker A
confirmed the Norma and El's suspicions they turned around to look at her and Lea soon realized why their eyes were fixed on her alone Duke maias V her heart who had quickly changed his expression stood tall and looked down at
28:27
Speaker A
her as if he didn't understand why his his wife was laughing Felix your mother seems to be in a very good mood today said Elis turning to her grandson in her arms and choosing the comment instead of scold Lea couldn't explain the reason
28:40
Speaker A
for her laughter but it didn't seem fair to laugh Al Mias smiled nonchalantly again when his eyes met Lea's gaze she had to resist the urge to shout and let everyone know the real reason for her laughter she tightened her grip on her
28:53
Speaker A
cheeky husband's arm she wanted to tell the world it was him her mathy the subject of her happiness it was him who made her laugh it was him who made her happy yet she chose customary silence over the Avalanche of words nonetheless

Uncle Bill's cabin why do you ask that of me as he sat at his desk in the study Mias questioned while keeping his gaze fixed on her he calmly continued going against against his wish turning his attention back to the pile of papers in
30:01
Speaker A
front of him it is absolutely up to you what you desire to do with it he said Lea was perplexed by matias's statements once more as he talked calmly are you claiming ownership of Uncle Bill's cabin she inquired attempting to steal her
30:16
Speaker A
answers upon hearing his wife's innocent queries he met her eyes and gave a fleeting nod yet his posture remained erect Leila didn't really understand the significance of his simple gesture until the room started to fill with the deafening sound of papers turning
30:30
Speaker A
matias's demeanor remained Serene as he made a contact with her and nodded his head briefly it was only after the sound of papers flipping filled the room that Lea comprehended the meaning of his concise gesture Lea traversed the front
30:42
Speaker A
yard as fast as her feet could take her glancing at the golden watch on her pale wrist as she made her way towards the cabin the clock said she still had some time for the tea which was arranged with
30:52
Speaker A
Duchess Norma as she entered the impeccably maintained ageless cabin she took a slow thorough look around like there was a few Furniture left the cabin was empty like a well devoid of water the only remaining Furniture was covered
31:06
Speaker A
in white fabric like a corpse while all other belongings had been gathered and moved to their mansion in rats Lea found herself awfully lonely the moment she stepped into the cabin she got devastated the loneliness stretched into torture and the atmosphere around her
31:20
Speaker A
got unbearable Lea rushed and stepped out onto the balcony to get some fresh air there she found the two seats mismatched and size and color yet placed in their original positions as they always used to be Lea turned toward the
31:33
Speaker A
huge wooden chair that was next to her and took a seat she had the impression that she could see Uncle Bill smoking the pipe in the wind while seated in a bent position although it seemed Phantom at first then she actually thought she
31:45
Speaker A
could hear him calling her name and laughing in a cheerful manner Uncle Bill arrived filling the empty space with his Pleasant smiles and loud voice I am fulfilling Your Wish by attending college just as you wanted while all my
31:57
Speaker A
classmates are male however your Lila is excelling and exceptional are you pleased with my achievements Lea spoke in a cheerful voice to Uncle Bill as she had done on other occasions when they had conversed while sitting next to one
32:10
Speaker A
another just like the good old times she told several anecdotes like a happy child who joyfully chatted with her father when he got home from work about his day she told him about Felix's school life Mias the man her husband the
32:24
Speaker A
more frequently The Voice shook the more at ease her enchanting smile was Felix is thriving and growing up strong it feels like just yesterday that he took his first steps in the shoes you bought him but now he can run and speak
32:36
Speaker A
eloquently I'm sure you already know I wish I could have another child to wear those shoes but Mias is opposed to the idea he doesn't want another child Leila's face dropped her smile Vanishing into the howling wind while confessing
32:50
Speaker A
the sorrow of her heart she had been carrying for long I'll return shortly Lea stood from her seat spilling Agony with her face the long afternoon sun cast Shadows over the empty old chair where she was seated father you are so
33:04
Speaker A
dear to my heart and I love you the most the words she spoke with affection lingered into the thin air as she gently dropped beneath porch along the way through the woods Lea accelerated her Pace the wind was howling it was blowing
33:17
Speaker A
the Woodland aggressively the white dress hem that Lea got herself adorned with floated softly in the direction of wind to Eastward although she hadn't made a single decision regarding the cabin she was certain of one thing while penetrating through wind in the woods
33:31
Speaker A
Leila halted for a moment and fixed her Steely gaze heavenwards with sheer determination she got her answer she was eagerly looking for creating a space where Uncle Bill would be happy your Le is a grownup now she would make you
33:44
Speaker A
happy she would make you laugh dot she whispered to herself joyous as if she finally conquered the answer of the Dilemma she was caught in dot middle do middle do do do middle do middle dot in front of the shelter river which had a
33:58
Speaker A
road leading into the forest the luxury car transporting the Duke Family came to a halt the disciplined beforehand prepared servants gave their masters of befitting reception pretending to be overjoy upon receiving their masters Maas was the first to exit the vehicle
34:13
Speaker A
as the driver hurried to open the door in the back seat he was as Dapper as ever in a cream linen suit it was the exact likeness of duer har who was well known for being free of fault and
34:23
Speaker A
epitome of perfection as the servants looked on a small foot adorned with a decorated strap emerged from the open car door the driver who had been approaching as usual was startled and straightened up Duke Kart did not delegate his wife's escort to others
34:38
Speaker A
this was a widely known fact among all users of AR who would have imagined that Forest girl raised by a gardener would grow up to be a duchess the people who recall the girl being arva child were taken AB by Maas and Lila with no faint
34:53
Speaker A
trace of awkwardness Lila held the Duke's hand as she exited the vehicle her silk skirt wi flare was wavy matching her soft gesture a bright smile of Lila envying Sunshine flared in the green eyes as she glanced at the
35:06
Speaker A
surroundings what a beautiful day it is the Duke's wife said with joy causing a gentle softening of his features letting his lips to make a curve and welcome a sweet smile in that moment the atmosphere around him transformed until
35:20
Speaker A
then he had been the epitome of the ideal dictator cold as ice and drained of any sort of emotion his face was flat his words were lifeless while he depicted a programmed robot people who gathered to welcome thought he might
35:33
Speaker A
have changed a bit but they soon realized that the slight shift in demeanor was only allowed in the presence of Leon her heart the love of his life the Gap previously like in countenance became a shield giving the
35:45
Speaker A
man's life a more substantial appearance The Waiting servants walked after The Duchess as they started to walk side by side the rra through the Woodland remained quiet despite the high number of people traveling this allowed Leila to hear the birds and winds more clearly
35:58
Speaker A
as she carefully raised her head while maias was moving gently and keeping his eyes focused Lila was looking for traces of exotic birds and the chirp she was dearly fond of Lea saw the face whose appearance changes any time like an ash
36:12
Speaker A
and Shadow collided with a light of a thousand Sons combined she didn't realize nor took a heed to notice that his gaze was aimed at her she met his eyes reciprocating his gesture leaving her Star Struck Lea's eyes widened and
36:25
Speaker A
screamed yet her mouth chose to stay quiet although was a little different from her initial assumption she refrained from bringing it up it's a joyful moment which she couldn't afford to ruin Lea followed her desire and smiled and established ey contact with
36:38
Speaker A
Maas once more she then turned to face her son who was riding in the stroller being pushed by the Nanny Felix who had been complaining about having to ride in the stroller was now grinning and looking around as if he had never done
36:51
Speaker A
so Overjoyed by the moment unlike anyone else Leila's heart exploded with desire to hold her son yet she forced herself to resist the impulse to approach the child right away as she straightened her posture it HED her heart yet her posture
37:04
Speaker A
was equally important to keep up she knew her life was led by rules and Customs she must behave with poise and not carelessly pick up a child in front of the maids she was cognizant of the fact that the order in Arvis differed
37:16
Speaker A
from that of the rat's Mansion she knew that just like the two duchesses she and her family should respect the rules during their stay in Arvis this was the meaning behind the duchess's words that the next Duke of her heart should
37:28
Speaker A
embrace tradition upon arriving at the picnic area Leila couldn't help but be amazed wholeheartedly wow she exclaimed the stream where she used to rest after picking raspberries had been transformed into a completely unfamiliar place on the spacious picnic Matt nestled in the
37:45
Speaker A
shade of the tree Lea saw many unfamiliar and exotic SES a brazer boiling tea delicate pottery and silverware cushions and blankets and fresh flowers in a vase despite choosing the picnic spot herself she couldn't shake off the feeling of being in a
38:00
Speaker A
strange place it appears as though a room from the Mansion has been transported here she spoke Gravely but Mias merely grinned back with such a sweet expression his face resembles a calm stream of water perhaps that explains why she keeps feeling dizzy any
38:15
Speaker A
time she sees him I'm grateful despite the fact that the picnic would be very taxing Leila decided she would not miss today's enjoyment for honoring your commitment she always trusted him when he made a commitment regardless of what
38:29
Speaker A
anybody says forever he nevertheless kept his word he was a man of his words Maas responded by holding her cheek and reaching out to stroke it Lila quickly glanced around after saying that her heart started beating like a drum
38:43
Speaker A
resisting slowing down not even after his touch left her cheek that remained there only for a fraction of a second she found the light in her heart against the dark heart which she had only realized after the gloomy shade of her
38:55
Speaker A
shame and Dread yet there was more to reveal and to feel that she required a lot of Bravery in maty Lea softly called out to Mias who was walking ahead causing him to turn around she hesitated before finally saying it's just that the
39:10
Speaker A
weather is nice don't you think she knew she was being silly but she couldn't think of anything else to say Mias sat under the shade of a tree appearing calm as the servants began to move about efficiently in the summer forest Lea
39:23
Speaker A
approached him still wearing her hat the weight of her Agony heavy upon her she couldn't bear to take it off not yet the news arrived at the end of tea delivered by the servants while they were shocked by the unexpected words Mias remained
39:37
Speaker A
collected are you really going to dismiss all the servants even the nanny Leila asked struggling to believe it but Mias answer did not waver yes he replied his gaze drifting over the stunned faces of the servants before returning to the
39:52
Speaker A
attendant you have all done an excellent job in preparing 6:00 be back here to time up with a simple gesture Mias checked the time by raising his cuff effectively cutting off the attendant protest it should be enough Lea looked
40:07
Speaker A
around in a days when even the nanny who had handed Felix over to his mother's arms retired they were left alone in this Forest the words were spoken in a euphemistic tone but the message was clear despite feeling uncomfortable Mark
40:21
Speaker A
iers eventually submitted to his owner's will under his command the servants began to depart like a low tide receding can you do this Lea asked in a jolt meaning to break the rules by being unaccompanied by staff as the Duke and
40:35
Speaker A
Duchess but Mias only looked at her with confusion as if he didn't understand the meaning of her question it was then that Lea realized that her husband was the owner of this place the Lord of Arvis Leila had much to say but couldn't find
40:49
Speaker A
the words mithas usually honored the wishes of his grandmother and mother but only in regards to the work he chose to do she knew better than anyone else how when he made another decision he would follow through with his own will Leila
41:02
Speaker A
spoke inanely to Felix in an effort to divert her attention under Mias close observation it was difficult to avoid feeling self-conscious she felt ashamed since Maas was constantly observing her and she assumed he wanted to be intimate since they were by themselves Mias
41:18
Speaker A
started to talk as she responded tensely to the sound of him setting down his teacup take it off now Leila cry even better if you beg Side Story 4 Leila turning her head in Surprise getting priced of a 100 Pricks by the deep blue
41:34
Speaker A
eyes of a man who seemed untroubled he looked avoid of emotions like an iceberg just like the days old she wondered if he still had any feelings left W what I in a place like this she roared shattering the peacefulness of the
41:47
Speaker A
forest her hands which quickly covered Felix's ears were also trembling slightly H how can you say that Felix is here Lea was trying to come up with a response when Mias abruptly reached out and loosened the ribbon knot she had put
42:02
Speaker A
under her chin Lea didn't realize it until she opened her instinctively closed eyelids in a casual fashion Mias handed her the cap he had removed he once more picked up the teacup that he had just calmly sat down earlier Leila
42:16
Speaker A
belatedly comprehending the situation looked at him with a slight daaz it seemed absurd to ask as if he had suddenly become a terrible person Mias relaxed appearance sipping te and enjoying the Forest View seemed even more absurd Mias looked up at the sky
42:32
Speaker A
between the thick branches of oak trees and remarked no more than a hat I am a gentleman Lea I know the rules he assured her when she thought of his words Lea's brow wrinkled is making jokes like this amusing well it's funny
42:47
Speaker A
he chuckled Mias shifted his straining gaze back to Lea you look lovely when you're blushing you look even more attractive there was no smile on his face when he uttered something horrible comments Lea commented sarcastically it's extremely gentlemanly of you to say
43:03
Speaker A
this in the midst of the day maias answered leaning boldly against a stack of cions a gentleman he continued a gentleman befitting a Serene Queen through the leaves the sun's Shadow drifted slowly over his beaming face due to his untidy stance perhaps the mood of
43:19
Speaker A
the day seemed to relax a little Lila didn't despise having to face the person she knew so well in this situation she did however experience an odd sensation of Injustice I'm not incorrect Lea confidently disputed while stroking her
43:34
Speaker A
scorching cheeks scientists are expected to make decisions based on their experience experience question Mias yes and from what I've seen so far everything you say always ends up having the same meaning as what I've misunderstood just as in science I'm
43:50
Speaker A
making judgments based on my own experience Mathias watched his wife blon his eyes narrowing with intrigue what is the scientific verdict then he asked Lea said her big eyes gleaming over her glasses you're the evil one and you're
44:05
Speaker A
the one who's bad the Duke you Crow Leela yelled angrily while continuing to blush brilliantly soon after Mias laughter was blown by the Wind Through the dense Woodland and across the estate he didn't intend to chuckle but Lea
44:19
Speaker A
decided to stop objecting to it only when she was looking at him did maias V her heart smiled like this and it was okay that they were both laughing in private and alone they engaged in mundane conversations and ate delicious
44:31
Speaker A
food together they also took a leisurely walk side by side without caring about anyone's gaze as she savored these trivial Moments One By One Lea realized it again her wishes were hidden behind the wounds inflicted by him this wasn't
44:46
Speaker A
a particularly special or grand picnic she hated herself for the weakness and anticipated it for countless days while knowing she shouldn't have but her own dumb heart was probably what she detested the most most despite the fact that Lila was well aware that it went
45:00
Speaker A
against Uncle Bill's standards she found it painful to love a man who deserved to be lowed Lea verted her sight to the far away Sky while observing the road where the tree Shadows were lengthening it wasn't long before it was almost time to
45:13
Speaker A
go back it's nearly time to return she remarked Leila side unhappily as she looked at the clock Felix who was being held by his mother was sound sleeping possibly exhausted after a fun-filled day the kids were covered in red stains
45:28
Speaker A
from eating foraged raspberries which brought back Pleasant picnic memories Mias looked up at the distant sky before turning to face her Lea's eyes softened instantly as though she were buried in concentration I believe the day is too brief that sad stated Lea we can come
45:45
Speaker A
again mithas spoke seriously lowering his rolled sleeves to adjust the Cuffs really Leila questioned with a serious expression and eagerness unable to conceal her excitement Mias was now aware Lea was pleading for confirmation with her words really Mias assured he
46:04
Speaker A
vowed that when the time came Lea's smile would be as radiant as the sun similar to how it is right now similar to this nothing in her eyes that was other than him at this very moment could have been lovier in his eyes the
46:16
Speaker A
servants came back as Mias adjusted his tie and put on his jacket they needed to get back to being the Duke and Duchess of her heart the two strolled side by side as they left the forest being followed by an Nanny and servants who
46:28
Speaker A
were carrying Felix who was asleep when they arrived to the road where the waiting car was parked their summertime adding which appeared to be coming to an end at this point suddenly took another unexpected turn go back first Maas told
46:42
Speaker A
the driver who had unlocked the back seat door and was waiting what that suggests confounded Le inquired Mias said with a wink to the nanny holding Felix we're going to walk when the nanny realized what was being said she hurried
46:57
Speaker A
to with Felix in the car Maas ignored Leila's embarrassed glances as she turned to face him in the meantime the nannies and Felix's automobile sped off Leila would have immediately inquired if the housekeepers weren't keeping an eye on her but she refrained from speaking
47:12
Speaker A
and instead took miah's hand naturally he took her to the shelter River's golden Banks as they crossed the forest path Lea yelled maty look loudly she felt a little silly when Maas casually remarked you said you were unhappy but
47:29
Speaker A
this is she said her eyes darting over the glistening Sky the adjacent Woodland and the Tranquil current before returning to miah's face Felix must be worn out he must take a nap he made a joke and Lea laughed do you not despise
47:44
Speaker A
Felix why would I dislike him after all he is my son Mias retorted dipping his head slightly downward he instinctively cared for his son but that love wasn't the same as the one he had for Lila he had no no desire to dispute this the
47:59
Speaker A
only person who would be in his life forever was Lila the only person he could truly love Leila who had been gazing at him for some time smiled and nodded her head Maas went slowly alongside the shelter River while
48:11
Speaker A
holding her hand Leila frequently made stops along the river to point out the birds her voice had a crisp echoing quality to it that resembled the sounds of singing birds as she told him the names and qualities of the birds and
48:23
Speaker A
flowers look watch that bird please maty a bird with vibrant feathers was flying in the skies as Lea pointed out the bird she wished to show Mias though quickly vanished past the river like it only appeared in her Visions ah it's gone Lea
48:40
Speaker A
looked at the Riverside where the bird flew off with a sadden expression sounding like a child who got ripped away from her favorite toy did you know that Arvis is home to a variety of unusual flowers and birds Aris is
48:52
Speaker A
comparable to heaven on Earth according to Professor Lawrence Lea clasped Maas hand once more and pointed up into the sky he in response firmly grasped her tiny hand Lea aside that bird earlier was incredibly hard to see would you
49:07
Speaker A
like me to get it for you Maas questioned softly while keeping his eyes glued to the direction in which the bird had gone he continued his voice even more collected so that you can retain it Lea gave him a hearty Smile as she shook
49:20
Speaker A
her head and gazed at him with big eyes no she firmly exclaimed why ornithologist just typically do that right Mias inquired she hesitated before answering it was accurate to say that catching and stuffing exotic birds served as a study tool also she was
49:38
Speaker A
quite fond of Professor Lawrence who also owned a number of stuffed birds don't fool around like that please Leila stated in a commanding tone she chose to interpret it that way even though she knew it wasn't a joke even if it was
49:52
Speaker A
required she had no desire to bring home a fresh stuffed Arvest for her study fortun ly Mias acknowledged her choice and grinned pleasantly they arrived at Lea's favorite tree by the river as they continued their Journey would you like
50:05
Speaker A
to ascend there Lea questioned as she regarded the tree like an old friend the view of the shelter River from the top of this tree is the most beautiful Vista in the world you would ever get to see
50:15
Speaker A
is this really required Mias laughed as he asked turning to face the tree branch where Lea used to sit in the old days of course the view of the shelter River from the top of this tree is unparalleled in Beauty believe me Leila
50:29
Speaker A
approached the tree in contrast to her cautious face she began to climb it with a bold and agile Pace sitting on a thick branch stretching out to the Riverside Lea grinned up at him come on matthy you can do it like me I'll hold your hand
50:44
Speaker A
she shouted sounding like she really wanted to teach him how to climb Mias laughed when she extended her tiny hand to him he then took a step forward and began to climb the tree without her assistance as he got to the top he
50:56
Speaker A
pulled her deep into his arms Lila could feel his heart racing in time with her own while resting her back against his chest you really can do anything can't you Lea whispered in awe nestled in Mias Embrace not everything maias replied his
51:12
Speaker A
lips brushing into his smile as he looked out at the river below for you a thousand times over he said in a whisper Lea couldn't help but blush at his words feeling warmth spread through her chest she closed her eyes savoring the moment
51:24
Speaker A
and the feeling of being loved by this amazing in her life she looked up at him her eyes sparkling with Amusement I knew it you're a pro at climbing trees Mias chuckled enjoying the feeling of Lila's warm body pressed against his it's not
51:39
Speaker A
my first time he admitted but it's not something I do often Leila smiled content to be wrapped up in miah's Embrace everything about this moment with this man was nice for her even his smile and the warmth of the massive
51:53
Speaker A
strong body encircling her she no longer wanted to conceal or refuse it because it was the most honest thought they perched on the branches and looked down at the glistening River calm and Serene the moment belonged to them while the
52:05
Speaker A
world chose not to interrupt the moment was drenched in Simplicity yet shining bright with divinity Leila couldn't help but feel grateful for the moment they shared sitting on the tree by the river as the sun set it was moments like these
52:17
Speaker A
that she treasured feeling close to him and at peace they sat on a tree with a view of the shelter River as the sun started to drop a flock of birds was gliding lazily above the surface of the
52:27
Speaker A
water which was shimmering in Golden Hues what do you think Lea turned to face Maas her eyes gleaming with eagerness isn't it beautiful her pride in the scenery could be seen in the way Mias peered intently into her green eyes
52:41
Speaker A
as much as he could he could concur with such a Viewpoint yes it's beautiful as he whispered his lips touched her lips in a passionate kiss although startled Lea wrapped her fingers around matias's neck and gave him a kiss in response her
52:56
Speaker A
hand went up to feel the Contours of his face quickly found itself digging into his hair she was flushing a rich rose color slathered in Joy her face ecstatic after the long kiss that had flowed like a silent stream had finally come to an
53:10
Speaker A
end Maas gently wiped his wife's lips with a silk handkerchief his lips softened into a Content smile like the evening air on a summer night I promised that I would teach you how to swim on the weekends he said swimming he gazed
53:24
Speaker A
at the water for a moment before turning his attention back to Lea because I promised I guess it's fine if you forget that one Lea made a reluctant effort to withdraw but Mias was adamant I'll teach you how to swim his face suddenly took
53:39
Speaker A
on a childlike smile right here on the shelter River in the light of the immense beauty of his smile she simply couldn't bring herself to recall the words of rejection cry even better if you beg Side Story five Leila finally had the
53:54
Speaker A
weekend she had been dreading it was a week weekend that came with a promise to dash her hopes against the ground and Rise her fear she buried in her heart alive yet Ellie AV on her heart was the
54:04
Speaker A
first Ray of Hope shining like a distant star El wanted to introduce her new family to her relatives at the Tea Party she was attending with Felix Leila would often have felt anxious about going to a social event with her mother-in-law but
54:17
Speaker A
this time was different she had grown interest in such Gatherings and Delise had excitedly encouraged her daughter-in-law to attend Lila was asked questions but before she could even answer Al's query maias had an answer shielding her like an armor my dear wife
54:33
Speaker A
and I had made prior arrangements for that day he said in a soft authoritative voice Ellie Z on her heart Shrugged then there's nothing more to be done adding but Felix must come with me everyone is eager to see him mithas complied with
54:48
Speaker A
her request and said of course mother you may do as you wish in this finalized plan Lea's hopes dissipated like wisps of smoke into thin air while she felt sorry for Maas not getting a proper break Leila secretly hoped that the
55:02
Speaker A
Duke's schedule would stay as hectic as ever even better if he returned on a particularly Dark Night matias's demanding career reignited a glimmer of hope within her while he was supposed to be on vacation he continued to work
55:15
Speaker A
talking with Executives on the phone and traveling to Carl SP for meetings Leila couldn't help but wonder how many more visitors the Duke of Arvis would receive as the afternoon resigned like a short-lived guest in thas failed to come
55:27
Speaker A
home for tea Lea's hope only grew stronger she couldn't help but hope that he wouldn't return however her fantasies evaporated as a word from the butler brought the news about her husband middle. middle do do middle. middle dot
55:43
Speaker A
meas you're back early Norma said setting down the teacup and smiling warmly at her grandson after greeting his grandmother Mias turned his head slightly to look at Lila who was seated across from him right you mention that you had a meeting with Lea today Norma
55:59
Speaker A
reminded him unaware of Lea's emotions are you going out with someone no I decided to teach her how to swim in the annex maias replied what The Duchess going for a swim in the river Norma startled and asked scowling at the idea
56:15
Speaker A
Lea's heart began to pound like a h hundred drums together with immense excitement at the prospect oh meias my goodness that is ridiculous Norma said Lea discovered for the first time that words have the power to bring joy in
56:28
Speaker A
one's life even for a fraction of a moment she thought that the elderly woman would be adamantly opposed but to her surprise she was kind-hearted oh that's correct since our time the world has changed the duchess should learn to
56:43
Speaker A
swim since it's a trendy hobby suggested the elderly lady Lila tightened her grip on her skirt fighting the urge to yell excuse me grandma yet she resisted Waging War against her impulse the elderly woman smiled soft softly as if
56:57
Speaker A
consoling her anxious grandkids and said I don't understand it but I won't force it on you enjoy yourself Leila Maas Drew near as soon as Le's Last Hope vanished he calmly extended his hand giving off the impression of a predator lurking
57:12
Speaker A
nearby with its prey Leila sighed quietly while holding his hand reluctantly it was a time when Maas Von her heart who was known for always keeping his word displayed some animosity middle. middle do do middle.
57:26
Speaker A
middle dot isn't it time you are prepared Maas checked the time and questioned Lila who shook her shoulders and stepped up to the railing of the balcony could you give me a moment to think it over Leila asked her voice
57:39
Speaker A
barely audible due to her tense demeanor still hoping that Mias might change his mind Maas leaned back in his chair and folded his arms displaying patience for his wife for almost an hour Lea faced the river as if it were a foe that
57:52
Speaker A
haunted her in her dreams and in her waking on the way to the detach to she'd been bold and courageous but now she seemed terrified her bravery dripping fading away from the creek holes of her heart Lea took a deep breathe by the way
58:06
Speaker A
and turned around isn't there a reason why people must be good at swimming she wondered eager what would her husband say Lea kept talking on with a rather serious face you just have to be careful not to fall into the water right but
58:20
Speaker A
don't you know if unexpected situations happen Mias asked his voice filled with concern Leila's eyes squinted as she struggled to come up with a counterargument that unforeseen circumstance was brought on by you the angry comments poured out more
58:35
Speaker A
forcefully like a volcano Mias presented a look to Lea that didn't convey either denial or embarrassment his face drained of emotions cold like Antarctica you weren't going to forget right Mias answered cautiously getting out of his chair no I remember I want to teach you
58:53
Speaker A
how to swim because of that exact event he leaned on the rail and rre of water mint which grew by the river but Lea I can't make you do it if you genuinely don't want to he gave her a respectful
59:04
Speaker A
glance as a sign that he would respect whatever Choice she chose when he claimed he would respect her decision Leila knew he truly meant it it was evident in the way he regarded her gazing deeply into her emerald green
59:16
Speaker A
eyes deeply like an ocean Lila let go of the railing and stood up saying I don't know it's not that I dislike it though that much was certain to her she had the option to refuse numerous times if she
59:29
Speaker A
truly desired to yet she didn't want to she wanted to learn to defy her fears and I'm terrified of the water of certainly you contributed greatly to my fear of it but it doesn't mean you alone are to blame Lea stopped gazing up the
59:42
Speaker A
river as if attempting to block out the recollection of having caused her anxiety back in time her cousin said to her there words innocent yet terrible enough to cause hurt if you want to live here you have to go through an
59:55
Speaker A
initiation right the the words kept ringing in her ears like a disease if you don't want to do it get out of here she was bullied the oldest and biggest boy laugh like a devil dragging her while grabbing her braided hair Leila
60:07
Speaker A
was captured by the kids like a hyena captured by a lion to be devoured making her plans to run away a compete failure she got wounded her body slathered in Blood and plastered in mud from roll and fall while dodging her to the cruel edge
60:20
Speaker A
of river every minute was a torture there she was the subject of her uncle's sudden cursing and beating and the horrible bullying of all the kids in the family she also struggled with the torment of hunger they inflicted which
60:32
Speaker A
forced her to raid the garden for vegetables like a criminal in punishment despite all the torment she went through Leila couldn't bring herself to utter I don't want to or I have nowhere else to go in the world stop hurting me the road
60:45
Speaker A
that had to return home wailing even after being tossed into the river lodged within her heart as a token of the Hopeless fear and anguish of the day the memory stayed with her forever living and breathing not leaving her in peace
60:56
Speaker A
for from the past she didn't want Maas to learn more therefore she accepted the swimming challenge early on Lea recognized her predicament compassion and sympathy from others were also appropriate but even though he was acclaimed as the most aristocratic
61:10
Speaker A
Aristocrat in this Empire she never wanted to appear unclean in his presence even though she knew she couldn't she still hoped for it from the moment he trod on the spill Penny scooped it up and frantically rushed away to the
61:23
Speaker A
present maybe forever and in the future Leila she thought deeply about the person maias called it seemed odd since although having the same name maias sounded like an entirely different person is it the low gentle Voice or is
61:38
Speaker A
it the tone that sounded like a poem that rhymed will everything be okay in the end Leila tightened her fist rather than gripping the railing once more I am not sure if I could float in the water the good scientist is better than
61:50
Speaker A
anybody else at understanding that persons who float in water are not operating in the confidence related domain though it was a serious query he responded sarcastically Leila couldn't find appropriate words to speak she appeared perplexed she chose to gaze at
62:05
Speaker A
the distant Sky wishing to disappear in the Hem of Sky's Blue Quilt she felt like her body was floating in the wide ocean the silence got almost deafening that she screamed atmosphere shaking off the environment from its Tranquility
62:18
Speaker A
I'll give it some more thought she fought as hard as she could but maias who hit her tightly in his arms made no movement at all he remained determined Like a Warrior who swar to win a war Despite All Odds he walked down the
62:31
Speaker A
stairs from the balcony to the boat hanger which was next to the river Leila's fear of water exploded in her body like an atom bomb she froze for a second before settling down as she noticed the water racing by aiming to
62:44
Speaker A
devour her Mias gave her pale cheeks a quick kiss before making a lengthier exit from The Hanger when they reached the end of the dock the shadow of a man and a woman in his arms that had been
62:54
Speaker A
moving across a wooden panel warned by the Sun un halted an afternoon in June the water sparkled like diamonds absorbing the sunlight she felt awfully stupid yet in actuality it was more of a fact than an assumption Leila who was
63:08
Speaker A
perched at the end of the dock cast a visibly dejected glance across the river Mias appeared to Sparkle like a component of the sparkling surface as he floated along the water he resembled like a statue God carved himself
63:21
Speaker A
Exquisite beyond measure Lea gave up mustering uper bravery and Mias gladly accepted it he started swimming joyfully being on his own you can turn around such callous comments were all he left for Leila despite the option to return
63:36
Speaker A
she remains where she is a miserable fool but upon further reflection it seems that the man in question is also somewhat strange Leila's eyes narrowed as she considered this why would he make a promise to bring her here only to
63:49
Speaker A
leave her in such a vulnerable state she wondered meias meanwhile stood tall on the river with his back to the sky looking stunning and free-spirited Leila determined removed her shoes with a fierce motion and then took off her
64:04
Speaker A
stockings she started to feel light-headed and shaky already as she went near to the river her worst nightmare Leela yearned to recapture The Reckless bravery she had displayed when she had dove into the water to retrieve her hat but all she could do was sit at
64:17
Speaker A
the end of the pier with her feet partially submerged why are you still here maias now standing on the dock asked playfully his wet partially exposed body glistened in the summer sunlight and the marks of his injuries only served to enhance his jaw-dropping
64:32
Speaker A
Beauty you seemed quite content Lea observed as you can see Mias replied leaning his head on one arm and looking up at her adoringly why did you return are you trying to tease me she asked if that's what you desire Mias said with a
64:48
Speaker A
teasing smile Lea rose up in a wrath despite the fact that she understood it wasn't such a bad joke she not Maas was the one who was going to be annoyed and disappointed why won't she muster the final ounce of Bravery for 3 minutes
65:03
Speaker A
Leila clamped her lips together she despised herself for being haunted by her terrible Recollections of Old Times she had to go through worse and more unpleasant things than that she came from a long way of troubled times she
65:15
Speaker A
can't believe how unprepared she was for the water despite being accompanied by her loving husband Leila turned around again blocking her escape from the river she marched decisively to the end of the dock this time like a soldier prepared
65:28
Speaker A
to slash the enemy's throat Mias watched her intently Lea began with removing her glasses relieved to take the pressure off her eyes then she began to undress starting with her slip then her skirt and blouse despite feeling embarrassed
65:44
Speaker A
she managed to maintain her composure possibly thanks to her impaired Vision Leila hesitated for a moment before finally removing her bra and Underpants tucking them beneath a pile of clothes in the radiant light her naked body was illuminated brighter than the sun like a
65:59
Speaker A
goddess who stepped on Earth the two of them fell Silent not tempted to break it but their eyes locked onto each other in the brightness talking loudly with words and speech I'm ready Lea declared proudly sitting down at the end of the
66:12
Speaker A
dock and dipping her legs into the water once more to save for the unhealed wounds to be honest I don't think it would work but I'll do my best Lea wanted to cry she wanted to finally shed the Old Wounds yet she restrained
66:24
Speaker A
herself fighting back her tears Mias softly extended his hand to her while he was calmly gazing Lea held his hand with all her might the hand that had lowered the wooden pillar secretly begging to hold her forever you're not going to let
66:38
Speaker A
me go are you in response to the sincere query meias happily nodded never Lea put Faith in his assurances she leapt into the water putting her last hesitation behind her defeating her phobia letting her memories flow along the river she
66:54
Speaker A
ripped apart the peace and calmness of the River with the wild sounds of splashing careless spraying and ear tearing screams cry even better if you beg Side Story six Lea van her heart's swimming skills were to put it kindly disastrous
67:10
Speaker A
it seemed almost pointless to even assess her abilities she was putting in so much effort just to stay afloat that it could hardly be considered swimming as she stumbled spluttered and flailed Lea let out repeated screams yet when
67:25
Speaker A
Mias pulled her close in an Embrace she calmed down as gentle as could be her gaze steady and full of unwavering Faith mithas knew in that moment that he would never forget it the moment God imprinted his eyes and in his mind forever Leila's
67:39
Speaker A
attempt at swimming if it could even be called that finally came to an end as the sun began to Bid Farewell Mias lifted the exhausted Leila and placed her at the end of the dock she panted heavily the sound of her breaths
67:51
Speaker A
depicting the ripples of the water shortly after Mias also sat down beside her equally spent it looks like the water level in the shelter River might have gone down a bit today I swallowed a lot of water Lea said with a silly smile
68:05
Speaker A
when their eyes met as he gazed at her face Mias watched the water droplets travel across the woman's body like the Magnificent drops of rain the water altered the color of her hair and cheeks making her skin appear even paler in
68:19
Speaker A
comparison at the top of her chest where it Rose and fell sharply with each breath drops of water formed and flowed down her slender collar bone like the water finally found its stream to be United with the natural Hue of her skin
68:31
Speaker A
seemed even clearer now like a crystal slowly but surely the droplets fell to the ground and disappeared between her legs without saying a goodbye Mias succeeded to bring back her joyous expression Leila found herself caught in an N tension and held her breath even
68:47
Speaker A
though there was no hint of desire in his guarded gaze it was almost comical she hadn't gone swimming naked in quite some time but all of a sudden she felt felt like it after all he was also the
68:58
Speaker A
father of the child she had given birth to they had been sharing a bed and waking up together every morning for nearly a year now can you smile even when something is unpleasant Lea pushed back her wet hair revealing her bare
69:10
Speaker A
chest beautiful like a Starlet Sky I'm going to look ridiculous she said the strength in her tightly pressed together knees was almost reflexive Mias tilted his head and looked down at her a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips
69:25
Speaker A
however given how mortifying the situation was it seemed that the matter was no laughing matter Leila searched for the clothes she had removed playing with a strand of hair that was twisted around her finger but instead of finding
69:37
Speaker A
her garments she discovered a basket filled with neatly arranged dresses and towels when she realized someone had arrived Lea looked embarrassed Mias on the other hand was dressed casually Lea veiled her naked body with a gown The Gentle Touch brought back memories of
69:54
Speaker A
how he had been staring at her body earlier and Leila became more puzzled as she tried to push these thoughts out of her mind and the sensations became more intense birthing wild Desires in her should we try again Lea impulsively
70:06
Speaker A
suggested the river was suddenly bathed in a deep Crimson light which was both beautiful and unsettling Lea was ready to embrace the Allure fully I feel comfortable floating in the water now so if I pick up a little more knowledge
70:20
Speaker A
Mias responded unexpectedly untying Lea's gown's thread and saying slowly Leila in the breeze from the river the orderly knot shuttered and flapped the summer is lengthy the large hand that CED her chin was gentle and cold the downward gaze that accompanied it was
70:37
Speaker A
equally soft Lea's lower eyes were slightly hazy as she saw the shadow of his long eyelashes there he was already just a few inches away from her nose without thinking her lips parted as the grip on her chin became firmer welcoming
70:51
Speaker A
him to kiss her you can do it slowly maias voice grew softer and lower as he added a hint of warmth to it Leila nodded in agreement she now knew the source of this tension she was certain that next time she would be able to
71:04
Speaker A
guess it Maas however simply fixed his Gaze on her intensely as if he was measuring something to engineer an innovation his enigmatic demeanor only peaked Lea's curiosity further he did not hesitate she could at least be sure of that perhaps that concept didn't
71:21
Speaker A
apply to this man's life Lea knew this better than anyone especially when it came to herself yes but why Leila accidentally closed her toes in the river causing the surface to Ripple with just a slight movement after brushing
71:35
Speaker A
her lips for a while maias let her go lightly and in vain he chuckled and cocked his head slightly to the side as if he was unsure of something it surprised Lila it was another instance where her scientific decision based on
71:48
Speaker A
experience was once again compromised middle.on middle do do middle do middle dot the The Duchess served dinner at a table set up on the annexes balcony which overlooked the shelter River it was unclear who had prepared the meal
72:03
Speaker A
but the steam was still rising from the hot dishes Lea glanced at Mias in Surprise as she had assumed they would change their clothes and return to the mansion but the man who would have given all of these orders simply stepped
72:15
Speaker A
outside and onto the balcony pulling out a chair and gesturing towards the table with a series of natural movements as if it was the most natural thing in the world to do by a Duke Lea glanced at her
72:25
Speaker A
refle in the glass door of the cabinet she smoothed out the wrinkles in her skirt and tidied her Loosely curled hair impulsively the broad lace collar of her blouse swayed as she started walking again she took a seat at the table and
72:38
Speaker A
Mias sat in the chair opposite her everything was served at once from appetizers to sweets giving the table a lavish appearance depicting Heaven it seemed that the message that meals were unnecessary had been conveyed effectively Lea started eating
72:52
Speaker A
deliciously perhaps because she was so hungry Mias attention was diverted from the food and glued on her face Leila always had little appetite although she consistently ate she taught him that there was a specific formula to adhere to when it came to the outward aspect of
73:08
Speaker A
eating take little nibbles chew them and then swallow them before moving on to the next one continue doing this while smacking your lips and puffing your cheeks for more Effect one of his greatest joys in life is now seeing Lea
73:20
Speaker A
consume her meal piece by piece oh later once Felix is an adult Leila's face lit up with Amusement as she abruptly raised her head Mias made genuine eye contact with her after releasing the lids on his eyes Lila
73:34
Speaker A
snatched the napkin with a start in contrast to him who was composed the lips that had been vigorously stroked turned Crimson when Felix matures maias asked again remembering Lila's Interruption Lila didn't see him again until she took a sip of water to moisten
73:50
Speaker A
her lips it would be lovely to teach Felix how to swim when he grows up swim on the shelter River of course all right Mias agreed readily I will even though it wasn't difficult at all Leila was overjoyed as if she had achieved a great
74:06
Speaker A
dream but shortly after she began to feel anxious by the way matthy will you also be teaching hunting maybe Mias gave her another Pleasant response he learned to hunt and his father gave him a gun with his name on it it was also a
74:22
Speaker A
process that was acknowledged as her heart's successor and a tradition that had been passed down for many years Lea looked quite dissatisfied while nodding her head to indicate that she understood I will carry out my responsibilities but Felix will decide Maas turned back to
74:37
Speaker A
Lila after giving the lit Candlestick and Cent her piece a quick glance the ability to read a bird's thinking or to be a great shooter he is left with a decision and you Lea asked seriously after a moment of contemplation what is
74:50
Speaker A
your opinion on the matter will there be a hunt in this Forest this summer what do you think Mias smiled and looked at his wife who didn't look away from his gaze I don't think it will happen Leila
75:01
Speaker A
said with pleading eyes that were Crystal Clear why not the Duke of her heart is a man who understands the hearts of birds she is skilled at answering rudely but she comes across as quite serious you're the nicest
75:13
Speaker A
gentleman in the Empire not just in this Carl Spar Leila caught Mias attention and he eventually started laughing again if there had been service staff around the chuckle would have been extremely embarrassed yet it was very comfortable and delightful nonetheless Lea could
75:29
Speaker A
tell that Mias had nothing to say other than that amusing laugh the Arvis Forest where the Duke has returned will be Serene this summer love is likely another term for that piece dinner went on in a more informal setting Lea
75:42
Speaker A
relieved the awkward tension by laughing and chatting happily it was a beautiful moment when countless Stars emerged over the setting sun and a stream of Starlight flowed Al look there are fireflies she gasped in Wonder at the glowing light drifting along the River
75:56
Speaker A
Bank jumping up and running in front of the railing was an action that was as joyous and carefree as a baby bird taking flight after finishing his meal and taking a sip of icy champagne Mias also stood up and went to join his wife
76:09
Speaker A
before she knew it a group of fireflies that were gently floating one by one had formed like a constellation Leila appeared to be in a dream as she watched the light wave her pulse was racing as if it was the first time she had ever
76:21
Speaker A
seen the Divine view from the shelter River in the summer maybe this was was the first time she was with him like this savoring the Divine moments enjoying the Simplicity of life and feeling love deep in her heart Lea
76:33
Speaker A
turned her head ready to embrace the excitement yet matheus's blue eyes captivated her like a magical spell his eyes were beautiful than anything else in the world and for a moment fireflies meant no meaning before his magnificent eyes Lea hesitated as Mias hand crept
76:48
Speaker A
closer and gently cued her trembling cheek unlike in the evening when she was exhausted he gave her bright face a careful sad ified inspection Leila said her eyebrows raised why do you keep playing these kinds of jokes jokes he
77:02
Speaker A
questioned in Surprise earlier you were the same way ah Mias chuckled as he gave her chin Jud hand a squeeze Leila if you get tired too soon it's not very enjoyable what do you mean Lea would hold her breath as she occasionally
77:18
Speaker A
remembered the night when this man had become extremely aggressive she had screamed and moaned loudly at that point before losing consciousness it wasn't something that could be controlled by will but she knew that Mias didn't particularly enjoy it I feel like you've
77:32
Speaker A
had enough sleep with his other hand Mias expertly removed her hair bin do you not while grinning Mias held her thick curly hair Lila's body skyrocketed causing her respiration to become shallow troubling her breath she could see his eyes by simply slowly opening
77:49
Speaker A
her closed ones it's as if she flicked a switch and he became someone entirely different the thought that she would be the only person in the world to recognize this man's face warmed Lea's breath as well yes your thoughtfulness
78:02
Speaker A
allowed me to get adequate rest and eat healthily Leila didn't Panic like she usually did she addressed him with a rather open demeanor she was undoubtedly walking on a heart surface and her toes kept reminding her of the ripples feel
78:14
Speaker A
yet she didn't care so I'll give it to you in exchange Leila tentatively stuck out his hand and covered her lovely face the toe tingling current now appeared to have sucked the entire body in do whatever you want she mustered up her
78:28
Speaker A
confidence to speak her heart out I desire it cry even better if you beg Side Story s Leila's eyes slowly opened as she touched something soft and feathery while she savored the soft touch her body felt like flying against the
78:43
Speaker A
gravity floating like a balloon devoid of Direction the shiny night sky with its Exquisite spread of Starlight was the first thing she found she didn't realize she was laying on a long chair on the balcony until she turned around
78:56
Speaker A
looked at the table where the candles were swaying and then at the railing beyond their lips came together like lost lovers as their eyes did they gave each other a passionate kiss their tongues entwined as desire flooded their
79:08
Speaker A
bodies Leila attempted to encircle maias neck with her arms before she was briefly taken aback by the stern force of his grasp they kept on kissing passionately melting into each other's hot breaths letting the moist sounds of their lips speak as they sucked on one
79:22
Speaker A
another Mias momentarily with through letting her gasp for air at one time he slowly licked the saliva that had a masted on his lips before leaning down for another passionate kiss on her n g HH Leila let out a soft moan as Mias
79:37
Speaker A
grabbed her chest which was heaing with each breath despite the veils of clothing separating them she felt and absorbed the heat radiating from his body like the scorching sun in extreme summer Mias grin lasciviously as he started unbuttoning her blouse and Lea
79:51
Speaker A
gazed at him with hazy lust filled eyes then he leaned down and kissed the spot where beads of sweat had formed between her collar bones her presence grew stronger as his lips moved in the path of the water droplets on her skin Mias
80:04
Speaker A
threw his jacket aside with a thud on the ground their clothes leaving their bodies one by one on the floor in an urgent desperation their loud breathing could be heard along with the sound of their hot moist bodies kissing it's all
80:16
Speaker A
right maias reassured her who was gasping and twisting several times you are beautiful Leila he was doing something foolish and disorderly to her that made her irritated by his calm voice yet she was also relieved by his complimentary remarks that sounded true
80:33
Speaker A
every time she nodded her body began to unwind it uncovered itself to experience lust and desire and maias was clearly attempting to reassure her Lila was relieved to see matias's blue eyes sparkling and his Crimson lips smiling at her when it was time to glance at him
80:48
Speaker A
once more as if he could see into her penetrate through her soul her eyes breathed shame Lea avoided making eye contact with him and stared up at The Starry Night Sky when she heard Mias take off his belt soon after his shadow
81:02
Speaker A
was engulfed in her body that was drenched in sweat and passion to melt in his desire no longer relaxed her breathing was now accompanied by a faint moan her petite body trembled but Lila was fully aware that he was the one who
81:14
Speaker A
ultimately gave in she gets the most satisfaction being dominated by his strong body she loved to be obeyed by the Outburst of his passionate desire she was willing to follow his lead her body yielded Leila maias kept reciting
81:29
Speaker A
her name the word escaped through the sound of his deep breaths sweetening the tip of his tongue like honey extracted from its comb Leila strained to somehow bring her hazy eyes into Focus every time she heard her name fly from his
81:41
Speaker A
lips as he looked more attractive than before like a lord of beauty and magnificence looking at her Mias hunched over in a sweet defeat he went wild for her the torrent of kisses was fierce and impatient as if attempting to shift the
81:55
Speaker A
blame for this insane yearning his trembling movement continued until at that precise time Leila pushed him away and hugged him back accompanied by moans and groans that she didn't want anyone to think belonged to hers once more she
82:08
Speaker A
experienced the sensation of being submerged in a wide river that was so deep that she was unable to touch the bottom her recollection of a terrifying memory returned to teas her yet her fear of the water had subsided the instant
82:20
Speaker A
she started to choke and float away was the same when Lea opened her eyes she noticed him he was right there in front of her erected she turned to face the noble Aristocrat whose intimidating intensity of stare and firm resolve
82:34
Speaker A
persisted this man who once hailed as a masterpiece of the herheart family had evolved into someone driven by animalistic Cravings however brought her Greater Joy at this point Lea secretly revealed in the notion that she was the only person to have this knowledge of
82:49
Speaker A
him and that at this very time he belonged to her completely and entirely ma n g HH maias brows narrowed as Lea jokingly called him Matthew for the first time the morning following their wedding this was the first time Lea had
83:05
Speaker A
referred to him in that way he noticed her face filled with a mixture of delight and trepidation when he opened his eyes to the sunlight what do you think of that moniker maty as she lay in his arms Lea asked the question in a
83:18
Speaker A
cheerful singing voice maias who finally understood the meaning of the nickname smiled he had told her several times to call him by his name but she had stubbornly refused and finally decided to give him a new name maty he was her
83:33
Speaker A
maty maty that entirely belonged her along with the name Mias had heard such nicknames during his childhood but no one had ever called Duke Von herart by such a shy nickname since he inherited his title not even his grandmother or
83:46
Speaker A
mother had done so he now found it hard to accept that she gave him a nickname like this he would have rejected the term right away if it had been suggested by someone else but Lea's voice made him
83:56
Speaker A
enjoy hearing it it was pretty tempting for him to imagine that only Lea would ever refer to him by this name for the rest of his life tell me if you don't like it she said afterward I'll just
84:07
Speaker A
address you by your name like you requested but I prefer this name more Leila added as she gave him a warm glance he predicted that she would continue acting in this way he finally grinned and gave in and from that point
84:19
Speaker A
forward he became Lea's maty maty do you know what Lea's tiny hand which was gripping his shoulder quickly stroked matias's cheek you are mine as well Lea remarked this while grinning naively like a young child Mias started laughing
84:36
Speaker A
ferociously as he peered down at her foggy face to understand what she was saying he was laughing but it was somber laughter accompanied with breathholding Leila was the only word he managed to articulate voice so grp it was nearly a
84:50
Speaker A
growl as her fingers brushed his cheek maias couldn't help but squeeze her fiercely he desired to stomp on her he wanted to devour her hole and bite her yet Maas was only able to give her a lengthy kiss on her thin rapidly
85:04
Speaker A
throbbing wrist yes I'm Yours Mias delivered a dry whisper while nodding his shirt collar was gently absorbing sweat as it quietly dripped down his neck indeed Leila I'm Yours there was nothing left in matias's quiet eyes as he sat up and stared at Leila except an
85:21
Speaker A
uncontrollable desire that he didn't know how to deal with it was a summer night with a Starlight seeming to cover the sky the river and the forest connecting them the disturbance that had shaken the clear transparent Silence of
85:34
Speaker A
the night died down as the fireflies stopped their group dance the sobs and murky moans mixed together as if in pain and the silence that followed deepened as the night went on before removing his face from Lea's neck Mias barely managed
85:47
Speaker A
to control his rapid breathing Lila's eyes were closed but she was still breathing vigorously she started to get a cold as her body cooled down and her shoulders started to tremble she was in his arms as he dozed off while licking
86:00
Speaker A
the tears from her eyes he then extended his arm and grabbed his jacket that had been left on the ground he made a gentle move of covering her with the jacket in stark contrast to when he had pushed her
86:11
Speaker A
mercilessly before after a long time Lea barely opened her eyes and looked up at Mias instead of seeing the Starlet sky and dangling Stars she saw the blue snow of his eyes mithas was still overly dressed except for a Loosely tied tie a
86:26
Speaker A
wrinkled shirt and a few open buttons Lea frowned at the unfairness of it but soon laughed and made fun out of the moment he didn't look so bad when he had lost his composure she laid her forehead against matias's straight forehead and
86:40
Speaker A
affectionately rubbed the edge of his nose before kissing it mischievously she did this with the same languid satisfaction and affection that he had shown her she only reciprocated his affection with a low smile on his face Maas gently and lovingly massaged her l
86:54
Speaker A
his head then he grasped her cheek tightly with his hand Maas took the lead and kissed her first this time it was a more delectable deeper and sweeter kiss than hers Lila was on the verge of crying but she restrained herself her
87:10
Speaker A
heart appeared to shine brightly like Crescent Moon she didn't want to spoil the moment Heaven blessed her with middle. and middle do do middle. Co and middle dot late at grey night the Duke and his wife departed from the detached
87:23
Speaker A
home Leila was adamant that they returned to the mansion even though it wouldn't matter if they passed out there Mias gladly accepted the explanation because of Felix the two took a leisurely stroll along the nighttime crying Forest path while holding hand
87:38
Speaker A
Leila took many glances at Mias by her side as she processed the new information his cheeks lit up with memories of the times she used to stroll in the forest and leave the detached house by herself she was often
87:49
Speaker A
embarrassed and depressed back then but on the occasions when Mias gave her a little love she felt much worse and was unable to handle it she therefore hoped that he would prefer to be unkind but these naive hopes would never leave her
88:02
Speaker A
heart if it happened it happened if it was trod upon it was trod upon she couldn't throw it away even though it was just a SCA wound she often spent the night crying out of intense Agony she never considered it to be love she never
88:16
Speaker A
imagined she would be loved maybe she was feigning ignorance yet whatever she felt with Mias was more than love that traveled to crack holes of her heart and soul filling her with a light she never hoped she could find a light filled with
88:28
Speaker A
a thousand colors of love hope and joy Leila Maas whispered her name when the wind sprinkled its sweet scent around them that LE eventually woke up to the truth before they knew it they were strolling through the Mansions Rose
88:42
Speaker A
Garden cry even better if you beg Side Story 8 Lea's confusion with her usual expression deepened his ocean as she acted beyond measure no way had her heart beaten with care ful expectations but on the other hand she couldn't
88:57
Speaker A
believe it no way this guy Maas vun her heart her heartbeat pounded in her ears like a thousand drums together as she prepared to step back in case she was caught suddenly and unexpectedly Mias placed the rose on the side of her hair
89:12
Speaker A
and tied it up Lila held her breath tightly as she fixed her expressionless Gaze on him the rose rustled in her air like a thunder it seemed more awkward and unpleasant than when their bodies were jumbled together in some strange
89:24
Speaker A
way but Mias seems so at ease this is what Leila gently probed the rose in her hair I'm certainly not a child she exclaimed without a pause the young girl who used to play in the Arvis Woodland while wearing a crown has grown into a
89:38
Speaker A
mature adult in addition whether Lea wanted it or not she was now a wife and mother in addition to being the Duchess of her heart it's pretty Mias whispered just as Lea was about to pull out the rose holding Lea's hesitating hand he
89:52
Speaker A
smiled as if God had made him look at his pleased creation it was the smile of a ruler with arrogant and merciful dignity Leela eventually lowered her hand leaving the rose stuck in her ears Mias satisfied gazed at her figure
90:05
Speaker A
before Loosely wrapping his hand around her chin he then slowly lowered his head and gave a short kiss to her soft lips that were soft like a petal of roses she realized that the feverish yearning for a sunny afternoon was still alive no she
90:19
Speaker A
was aware at that very moment she tried everything to stay blind since she couldn't accept it Lila was captivated Again by matias's hand as he led her away the marble stairs that connected the mansion and the garden were etched
90:31
Speaker A
by the Shadows of the two pedestrians wandering side by side however did you know that you were losing credibility Leila asked a strange inquiry as she was about halfway up the steps in response Mias cocked his brow you can say I'm
90:45
Speaker A
pretty readily Leila's eyes stared staring at him clear and gentle despite the way she moaned therefore it occasionally sounds deceiving Leila's eyes explicitly stated her desire to ask Mias to repeat it despite Mias best efforts to appear innocent on the other
91:02
Speaker A
hand I'll tell you with more Authority maias was open to being duped by an attractive Fairy Who nonetheless behaved brutally what a lovely Blossom his accent was quite strong what Lea frowned while paying close attention that seems like a lie even more it's really odd the
91:20
Speaker A
way Mias spoke was quite weird he presented an extremely poor performance which she did not expect as Lea listened carefully she wrinkled her nose at matias's awkward way of speaking he looked like a really bad performer wait it's Lea's face hardened as she
91:37
Speaker A
remembered something while laughing don't tell me it's the memory of her far-flung miserable charity performance last winter which she had been trying to forget came back to her like an Uninvited Guest seeing the startled Lila Mias began to giggle why on Earth do you
91:52
Speaker A
remember such things Lea chuckled it's such a strong memory it's hard to forget Mias answered with a grinning smile don't tell me because I don't want to remember it Lea said shifting her gaze to roses she frequently walked with a
92:07
Speaker A
straight face but mithas simply and quickly caught up with her do you not believe that I am a better performer than you were that day Leila don't say that again please ignore it Lila shook matias's hand and started to go unsure
92:21
Speaker A
of what to do her deliberate steps reverberated across the mansion's quiet Lobby the sound echoed announcing the news of her arrival thankfully Matias stopped chasing her Lea was instantly relieved when she heard a conversation emanating from the mansion's main gate
92:37
Speaker A
connected side of the hall which was on the other side of the room she immediately faced the well-liked protagonist it was ARA's Hostess Ellie sa on her heart who had arrived home later than expected Lea bolted across the hallway startled when El noticed her
92:52
Speaker A
approaching daughter-in-law her eyes narrowed like those of a cat in deep Sleep fortunately Lea was able to safely welcome her without making the error of disregarding protocol Leila and Mias who subsequently entered alone soon stood side by side Lea watched Mias extending
93:09
Speaker A
a welcome to his mother and her joy that it was not an improper civility was quickly lost matias's direct gesture seemed nothing like hers he was So Graceful and kind as he turned to face his mother with a straight neck that she
93:21
Speaker A
had trouble remembering the man who had pushed her with overt longing and pulled naughty childish pranks on her I noticed that both of you are running late for home Ellie a on her heart's eyes finally showed satisfaction at that point
93:33
Speaker A
today's meeting was really productive thanks to Felix her lips released a brief sigh after continuing to speak in a lower tone she was staring at the pale pink rose that was trapped in Lea's messy side hair Lea blinked in
93:46
Speaker A
bewilderment blushed afterward and grasped for her hair just plain scared such a ladylike manners and tone and Le a rep demanded her severely before giving her a Hardy laugh Felix your mom also looks to be in a great mood today
94:00
Speaker A
Alie sigh as she looked across at her sleeping grandson in the nanny's arms to end the conversation Lea looked at Mias with tear-filled eyes as she watched El walk away with the sound of her usual heels however the man who was
94:13
Speaker A
responsible for everything straightened a slightly off center rose without any trace of regret pretty Mias unconcerned about his mother's severe criticism stared down at Le the playfulness in his words gone the reputation of the Duchess of her heart among the social
94:29
Speaker A
aristocracy such as his grandmother and mother was completely unimportant to Mias Lea found it difficult to comprehend this particular feature it's lovely Leila Maas softly lifted Lea's chin with his fingertips perhaps disliking the way she had sprinted away
94:46
Speaker A
his expressionless eyes began to wrinkle into a soft Smile as he stared at her the slight smile startled Lila and she unintentionally held her breath her toes curled in reaction to the repeated sound of water clapping in her ears Lea
95:00
Speaker A
quickly clutched matias's hand trying to disguise her reaction she was able to avoid the shame of being seen by others as they walked together by holding on to his hand she climbed the steps under the light of the chandelier Mias by her side
95:14
Speaker A
the rose petals in matias's hand trembled as they ascended mirroring L's heart middle.on middle do do middle Doon middle dot The Rose That IAS gave to her remained in full bloom on the duchess's desk before the pedals Wilt it Lea
95:29
Speaker A
plucked one and placed it between the books on the Shelf though it was not technically the first flower Mias had given her Lea chose to consider it as such since Mias did not seem to remember the others and it was difficult for her
95:41
Speaker A
to say that he had given them however her thoughts were far from The Dukes who seemed to have forgotten the first time he had given her row Lea had carefully preserved the petals from the rose Mias had recently given her tucking them
95:54
Speaker A
between the pages of her book as a reminder of their special moment Lea Sat by the sunny window with a book surrounded by rose petals she gazed out at the Rose Garden below allowing memories of the past to flood back to
96:06
Speaker A
her they were colorful and vibrant just like the flowers in the garden summer had always been a Bittersweet time for her marked by the return of both the beautiful and terrifying Duke of her heart as well as the summer guests of
96:18
Speaker A
Arvis including the woman she dreaded encountering lady Brandt Lea was surprised when the from claudine's Cabin suddenly came to her and told her that lady Claudine was looking for her she had been looking forward to finishing the laundry and preparing snacks for
96:32
Speaker A
Kyle but now she had to follow claudine's orders this made her feel frustrated but last year Uncle Bill had become angry about this situation as long as she was in debt to Arvis it was inevitable that she would have to do
96:44
Speaker A
things like this Mrs Mona had said she told Bill that Lea to bear with it even if it upset her as she was the only one who would be in trouble if she didn't Lea overheard this conversation as she
96:55
Speaker A
was returning home from the goat cage Leila's heart sank at the thought that her Uncle Bill was in trouble she remembered the time she was summoned by Lady Brandt when she confided in her uncle about her distress the possibility
97:07
Speaker A
of being expelled from Arvis and her uncle getting into trouble both filled L with Dread she resolved to endure it stoically not wanting to cause any more problems Claudine sat under the pergola in the Duke's Rose Garden sipping tea
97:21
Speaker A
she seemed to have grown into a graceful and refined young woman since the last time Lea saw her in contrast Leila still looked like a child with her delicate slender figure and radiant healthy skin when Claud noticed Lea staring at her in
97:35
Speaker A
Surprise she gave her a warm smile Leila it's been a while how have you been Leila knew from experience that the response Claudine expected was a polite and formal one yes I've been well miss she replied automatically Leila you're
97:50
Speaker A
still such a child Claudine said with a smile look over Lea's form however Leila could tell that there was a hint of teasing in her words most of her classmates had already started to grow into young women but Lea was feeling
98:04
Speaker A
self-conscious about the fact that she was still so young Lea it's time for you to start acting more like a lady even Chef Mona who had always been relaxed about such things had started to express concern about Lea's development this
98:17
Speaker A
year Lea realized that she was the only one of her peers who was still a child While others had grown into women this made her feel left out and left behind although Claudine brand had only asked her to run an errand to get roses Leia
98:30
Speaker A
observed that Claudine had become skilled in flower arrangement as she walked back to her cabin with the money she had earned Lea thought about Claudine and her friends who had blossomed into beautiful and bright young women she couldn't help but sigh
98:43
Speaker A
as she looked down at herself what if she never grows up and remains this way for decades her growth was not lost on Uncle Bill who greeted her with a pleased expression when he saw her in her new clothes he even compared her to
98:55
Speaker A
a newborn baby deer making Leila feel a sense of Pride but as she walked through the quiet Forest Road the sound of horse Hoops interrupted her thoughts and the main cause of her troubles the Duke of her heart appeared before her like a
99:08
Speaker A
lightning in the sky cry even better if you beg Side Story n the Duke saw Lea standing there still on the road and pulled his horse over to the side neither he nor the Duke's companion who arrived after him were seen with their
99:22
Speaker A
hunting weapons Le forced to shrug and tightly clench the coin in her hand she was holding unable to shake off her fear of him the Duke was intimidating as he had always been though he appeared to be out for a leisurely horseback ride
99:34
Speaker A
rather than hunting today hello greeted the blonde Aristocrat who was accompanying the Duke with a smile it's been a while the Marquis of lindman had a cheerful and slightly higher pitched tone despite his Noble attitude Lila recognized him right once because being
99:50
Speaker A
the Duke's friend and cousin he was a frequent visitor to Arvis Lea nodded her head in acknowledgement and then screed off to stand beneath a tree on the side of the road she could hear the rapid heartbeats in her chest seeing the Duke
100:02
Speaker A
by coincidence on this particular day may not have been the best idea but she was glad to see that he was with his friend and cousin Marquis lindman the Duke had taken to tormenting her relentlessly pursuing her as if she were
100:14
Speaker A
his prey back in the day like a lion haunting hyenas it occurred regularly on the occasions when he happened to come across her while he was out hunting or horseback riding alone the Duke liked it he seemed to derive a
100:26
Speaker A
twisted pleasure from this Pursuit it was not that the Duke was inherently a cruel person but to Lea's dismay she was the only one who had witnessed this malicious side of him therefore she felt trapped in a web unable to escape and
100:40
Speaker A
unable to confide in anyone about her plight Lila endured this mistreatment in silence even though it was deeply unfair and distressing secretly hoping the torment would over someday she chose to keep her mouth shut as she feared being
100:53
Speaker A
branded a liar and expelled from Arvis if she spoke it out who is it the query was raised by a bystander ah on this estate I've been told there's an orphan surprisingly a gardener chose to raise her a response came several more
101:09
Speaker A
comments were said after that but the Duke's voice was not heard Lea gently raised her head as the sound of horse Hoopes grew louder she had been steadfastly staring at the tips of her muddy shoes her light green eyes which
101:21
Speaker A
reflected the sight of the Duke riding by an expressed both Terror and curiosity despite the time that had passed since she last saw him Leila took notice of his unchanged Beauty and the new maturity that he seemed to have
101:32
Speaker A
acquired soon he would be graduating from college and fulfilling his duty as an officer in the Army to honor his family and with that thought comes the realization that he won't come back to Arvest during summer since there will be
101:44
Speaker A
no vacation in the Army this realization caused L his heart to race with a faint glimmer of hope as she stood there staring at the group of Dukes moving away Leila earnestly prayed she hoped that the summer would come and he would
101:57
Speaker A
not return it was all she could do pray in her heart the thought of him leaving and not coming back was a mixture of emotions for her deep down she felt a sadness for not seeing him again but
102:08
Speaker A
also a relief that the fear she had for him will not be there anymore after the group of young men on horses had disappeared and the thick dust caused by the Hooves had settled the forest once again regained its peaceful calm but for
102:20
Speaker A
Leila the Tranquility of the forest was not enough to ease the turmoil in her heart as she continued to stand there lost in thoughts of the Duke's uncertain future and her own feelings of Hope and longing the sun was pressing down on her
102:32
Speaker A
with its Fierce heat as she strolled back to the cabin she found it odd that the light felt so brilliant today even though dusk was drawing near it wasn't until around 15 days later that Lea realized the reason for her discomfort
102:44
Speaker A
her menstrual cycle had begun unexpectedly as she awoke to an unusual and unpleasant pain she found that the cabin was still in the transparent Silence of Dawn and it seemed as if Uncle Bill hadn't yet risen as she Rose
102:56
Speaker A
from her bed her eyes were drawn to the remaining red stain on the sheet at first she believed it to be a dream but upon further inspection she found the same stains on her pajamas and underwear the scene brought a mix of emotions for
103:09
Speaker A
ala knowing that this is what her friends had been whispering about in secret she heard the sound of Uncle Bill's footsteps as he woke up Torn Between the relief that this is something normal and natural and the feeling of hopelessness as she didn't
103:21
Speaker A
know how to deal with this Leila qu quickly hung the door and locked it hiding the stained sheet and clothes under her bed she quickly tried to fix the situation with a handkerchief but before she could fully take care of it
103:33
Speaker A
she heard a bumpy knock on the door Leila are you awake are you sleeping in Uncle Bill's voice called out no Lea answered with a scream I'm already awake Uncle oh come on then get ready Kyle will pick you up soon Kyle Lea thought
103:51
Speaker A
in her mind of Kyle this added more anxiety to her already confusing emotions she was filled with confusion as she thought about an important promise that came to mind it was the day when all the village children had
104:03
Speaker A
planned to go on a picnic together and Leila had also decided to attend a play in the theater this afternoon for the first time something she had been looking forward to but now that excitement has been replaced with
104:14
Speaker A
uncertainty and the red stains of menstruation she quickly washed herself while Uncle Bill went out to attend to the livestock the pain in her lower stomach had been growing increasingly more intense but this vague situation has somewhat reduced her discomfort as
104:28
Speaker A
Lea changed her clothes and began to set The Breakfast Table Kyle came to the cabin he was stunned upon hearing Lea's answer that she would not be able to join the group for the picnic what is wrong with you Lea you wanted to see the
104:41
Speaker A
place so badly didn't you Lea opened the Bread Basket clumsily I don't want to go anymore the bread she cut was distorted I don't believe you whatk the real reason Kyle looked worried oh are you feeling ill you look like a ghost no
104:57
Speaker A
it's not what do you mean no I know everything even if you are unwell you still pretend to be fine let me hurry up and no stop Leila spun around and shrieked she thought to use the bread she was holding to strike Kyle oh Lea
105:14
Speaker A
Kyle I apologize Lea pressed the bread against her hot cheeks although it hurts somewhat it's not too bad I simply need to rest at home what's the issue what do you think if you don't want me to inform
105:28
Speaker A
my father I won't though Kyle was her closest friend and family member she was unable to tell him her story it was embarrassing to tell it to her friend especially to a boy please move quickly you'll show a plate Lea was now on the
105:42
Speaker A
verge of crying before I throw bread at you with all of my might middle. middle do do middle. middle dot after Kyle left Uncle pill returned he was taken back to seela who was supposed to be going on a
105:56
Speaker A
picnic but he ultimately accepted her excuse that she was feeling ill her stomach was indeed hurting so it was not entirely a lie all right then you should rest well are you in a lot of pain I can
106:08
Speaker A
have do Atman come over no Leila interrupted firmly not wanting to hear the same suggestion from her uncle that she had heard from Kyle I eat well stay at home and rest that's all I need Bill Remer who was observing Ila as she
106:24
Speaker A
repeated his usual request erupted into a hearty laughter he affectionately ruffled her hair and headed to work leaving Lila to rest and recover at home once she was alone Lea spent the morning ruminating over her thoughts and reflecting on the pain that felt more
106:38
Speaker A
pronounced she felt too shy to confide in anyone and didn't want to owe them a favor if she could help it but she also knew that she couldn't handle this on her own with this realization Lea decided to leave the cabin though it was
106:51
Speaker A
quite hot she dawned thick stockings and multiple layers of undergarments she couldn't shake her worries and apprehensions which made her journey to the Duke's Mansion take twice as long as it usually did as she kept pausing to reflect on her decision upon reaching
107:05
Speaker A
the Duke's residence Lila was greeted by the surprised expression of Mrs Mona who had just stumbled upon her in the drawing room the other guests who were resting after the Duke's luncheon also focused their attention on Lila as she
107:18
Speaker A
hesitantly peaked through the door what brings you here Lila Mrs Mona asked surprised after a moment of hesitation Lea mustered the courage to speak I have something to tell you Mrs Mona exited the hallway looked down at Lila and shut
107:34
Speaker A
the lounge door even so she led Lila to the end of the corridor and turned to face her as if she had realized that Lila was having trouble communicating now you seem to be okay here Leila tell me what is the issue it's Lea exhaled
107:50
Speaker A
repeatedly twisting her hands which she had gripped tightly ly I believe I am now a lady lady please wait my love you're now as Mrs Mona thought about what Lila had told her her eyes grew wider oh my she sighed as she observed
108:06
Speaker A
Lila who was wearing a tire that wasn't suitable for the current season she mumbled a variety of complex emotions visible on her face oh my God Leila Lila was on the edge of crying from anxiety but Mrs Mona gave her a loving grin and
108:21
Speaker A
a bare hug while comforting her by massage ing her trembling shoulders and back Lea my dear you have to be careful of men from now on do you understand Mrs Mona sternly admonished Lila feeling humiliated and ashamed she was an
108:35
Speaker A
opinionated woman who had dealt with similar issues as the mother of three daughters Leila was confused and couldn't quite make sense of what Mrs Mona was saying but she didn't want to seek for explanation so she just nodded
108:46
Speaker A
in agreement it's something to celebrate but I'm also worried Mrs Mona said with a look of pity on her face she knew that when a beautiful flower blooms in the field its life is likely to be hard she
108:58
Speaker A
couldn't bring herself to say these words to Leila and instead let out a deep sigh Lea was a very lovely young girl she was skinny and messy when she first arrived at Arvis but with Bill rerk care she blossomed into a stunning
109:11
Speaker A
Rose as she got taller and put on weight even though she was still a young girl Mrs Mona was aware of how quickly a girl may develop into a lady however her life wouldn't be so bad Mrs Mona thought
109:23
Speaker A
because she had the support of someone strong like Bill rer these thoughts allowed Mrs Mona to smile again it's a school a village and in any case think of all the men around you as thieves that's not entirely wrong either Mrs
109:36
Speaker A
Mona said with a hint of bitterness in her tone warning Lea to be cautious of men and their intentions when asked again Lea's expression contorted in confusion Kyle to Kyle hm anyway he'll be a man so be careful you'll be fine
109:52
Speaker A
Mrs Mona felt a twinch of regret for the kind Dr edman but she had already decided to group Kyle together with the other thieves as the time to prepare dinner approached Mrs Mona left the house with ilila giving her a small
110:05
Speaker A
basket she also didn't forget to give her additional instructions on her way to the Duke's residence by the way Lea Mrs Mona called out to Lila as they reached the end of the road she stroe up to her and unexpectedly reached out and
110:18
Speaker A
touched her chest Leila's startled scream and Mrs Mona's laughter echoed in the still after afternoon it's a surprise yes you have grown into a lovely woman she said her eyes filled with a compassionate warmth as she looked at Lila who was now blushing
110:33
Speaker A
profusely Youk likely require new undergarments such as a bra I told Mr Remer no there is no huge deal you're welcome to accompany me when I go downtown this weekend I'm grateful ma'am I sincerely appreciate it Lea said
110:49
Speaker A
expressing her gratitude by making a deep bow as Lea bowed Mrs Mona couldn't help but notice the gentle and delicate features of her eyes she gave her a few more pats on the back before quickly heading back to the Duke's residence
111:02
Speaker A
Lila turned away as soon as Mrs Mona's back was no longer in view her stomach still hurting but she felt considerably better than she had that morning she made an effort to convince herself that she could handle this but as she moved
111:14
Speaker A
on she abruptly stopped again just past the Mansion around the next curve lady Claudine Brandt and the Duke her heart were the source of the woman's laughing in the man's low quiet voice that she overheard Leila instinctively ducked
111:26
Speaker A
behind the wall frustrated she wanted to go somewhere else and hide but the couple's footsteps were getting closer and closer to where she was hiding cry even better if you beg Side Story 10 Maas stumbled upon a discovery
111:42
Speaker A
as he caught sight of a small figure darting behind a wall the orphan raised by The Gardener had been found like a Lost Pet with fluttering skirts and a mop of blonde hair there was no mistaking a child it was by all means
111:55
Speaker A
her but instead of feeling elated at the find Mias could only think of one thing the child's tendency to run away and cry it was a frustrating characteristic but one that could not be taken as a whole but be tolerated in small doses as the
112:09
Speaker A
child looked up at him with white emerald green eyes Mias couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance mixed with pity with a scorching Sun beating down on them Claudine suggested it was time to head back it's too hot for an
112:21
Speaker A
evening walk she said her voice laced with exhaustion despite the wide brimmed hat and parasol claudine's face was flushed with heat even Mias who was never bothered by the effects of the sun was feeling the same but he was willing
112:36
Speaker A
to indulge claudine's whims who had requested the walk he couldn't deny the excitement of possibly finding the elusive child who was known for hiding in the shadiest spots however the thought of trudging through the sweltering heat wasn't worth the
112:49
Speaker A
potential reward as they made their way back to the mansion maias caught a glimpse of the child running away as usual bundled up in winter clothes despite the scorching weather was it because of their first encounter he remembered the day the little girl had
113:03
Speaker A
appeared in the forest of Arvis like an interesting prey but just like a bird that quickly flew out of sight matias's interest in her had remained at that level she was just another wild bird in his Forest nothing more with that
113:16
Speaker A
thought Mias turned his attention away from the child and followed Claudine into the cool Embrace of the Mansion the Pleasant hair enveloped them and the heat quickly faded beaten by the luxurious mansion middle. middle do do middle. and middle dot bill rer was
113:32
Speaker A
taken aack when he learned the news from the talkative Chef Mona he couldn't find the words to express his shock simply muttering oh this is so repeatedly while scratching the back of his neck the thought of raising a daughter on his own
113:45
Speaker A
as a widower was a daunting task unlike any he had faced before Oh so that child is already Chef Mona observing him with a hint of amusement chatted him what do you mean already it's way later than my
113:58
Speaker A
daughter she said with a click of her tongue I understand it's not easy for a wooden Stone like you to raise a daughter that suddenly appeared but Bill was quick to correct her what daughter I just wanted to don't say such nonsense
114:12
Speaker A
Chef Mona interrupted him firmly pointing towards the Duke's Rose Garden pick up the Roses over there Bill's face contorted with confusion what are you planning to do with those r but before he could finish his sentence Chef Mona
114:26
Speaker A
interrupted her eyes sparkling with excitement oh my dear bill you truly are a flower growing expert but you seem to be lacking in the art of giftgiving gift Bill repeated his brow furrowed in embarrassment he had never thought of
114:41
Speaker A
giving flowers as a gift before Chef Mona continued when a young girl reaches a milestone in her life it's tradition for her to receive a bouquet of flowers and Lea your daughter is about to reach one of those Milestones Bill's face
114:55
Speaker A
contorted sharply with guilt you're right even though she's not my real daughter I still have to give her a gift but I haven't found the right time yet oh my I should have sent it as soon as possible but it turned out like this
115:08
Speaker A
Chef Mona Shrugged why don't you give it to her now but she will go somewhere isn't she what can I do Mr rer can't think of her as a daughter and if Lila has no place to go he has no choice but
115:20
Speaker A
to send her to an orphanage or something well should I find a gift for you if you can't do it with your hands by the way the idea that you would send a girl to a place where she would be unprotected
115:31
Speaker A
saddens me greatly this is how the world has to be as Bill rerk eyelids twitched the chef's tone grew even more annoying she will be a striking Beauty if she turns out to be an upstanding young lady but if she ever meets with a rascal oh
115:45
Speaker A
God Bill's nerves were Fray to the breaking point he couldn't take it anymore and shouted I'll do it I'll raise her and Pi the gift on my own just stop talking Chef Mona's words were like a bitter pill for Bill Remer to swallow
115:59
Speaker A
her intention to help him clear but the reality of the situation weighing heavily on him he couldn't bear the thought of Leila being sent to a place with no one to protect her the harshness of the world too much to bear Bill rer
116:11
Speaker A
stood before the blooming roses flushed with wide variety of colors his mind a whirl with confusion and uncertainty he had always tended to the flowers with care and dedication but the thought of plucking them for a purpose as born to
116:23
Speaker A
him his gift giving was daunting oh I'm scared people would think you're her real father Chef Mona's hateful laughter echoed in his ears as she shook out her apron and left the garden bill was left alone in the silence pacing between the
116:36
Speaker A
flower beds scratching his neck in agitation it wasn't until a young worker approached him that he realized how foolish he must have looked as the young worker approached him with concern etched on his face Bill rer couldn't help but feel a sense of unease the boy
116:51
Speaker A
innocence was a sharp contrast add to the thoughts racing through Bill's mind he thought of Leila and how one day this simple boy may very well be the one to give her flowers to court her the idea made Bill's blood boil Mr Remer the
117:05
Speaker A
worker's voice broke through his thoughts but Bill's Fierce gaze was enough to make the boy shrink back in fear taking a deep breath Bill tried to calm himself he shook his hand dismissively ignoring the worker and once again began pacing through the Rose
117:18
Speaker A
Garden he reached for a flower but each time he pulled back his mind consumed by the thought of Lea and the future middle. middle do do middle. middle dot meanwhile Lila was running an errand for lady Claudine Brandt picking fresh roses
117:35
Speaker A
from the garden to take to her drawing room though the task was easy enough it broke Lea's heart to see the remaining flowers the ones that Uncle Bill had tended to with so much care and love discarded and left to wither away tricky
117:47
Speaker A
and Troublesome was how Uncle Bill described the Rose Garden but Lea knew that he held a deep reverence for the flowers the garden workers had also shared this sentiment saying that Uncle Bill believed roses were just like people that they thrived when they were
118:00
Speaker A
loved sincerely as expected lady Claudine had left behind many roses after her visit Lea couldn't help but stare at them longingly and impulsively asked the maid who had come to deliver the labor fee those flowers may I take
118:14
Speaker A
them roses I was just going to throw them away so take them as you please the maid responded nonchalantly before following her mistress footsteps left alone Lea hesitantly approached the table carefully arranging the bouquet in her arms holding the bundle of fragrant
118:30
Speaker A
roses felt strange and unfamiliar but also comforting in a way she couldn't quite explain the cabin's yard was filled with rose bushes because it was a Gardener's home Lea was welcome to as many as she desired she occasionally
118:43
Speaker A
sliced the rose into pieces to use as table and desk Decor she used dried Pebbles to create a fragrance bag Uncle Bill didn't stop Lea from spreading it all around the home despite admitting it was bothersome she remembered an
118:56
Speaker A
arrangement of flowers that her friends used to boast about and that was why a plain Rose feel so fresh to her Lea left the Duke's home while pondering many things the rose looked Lovelier in the sunlight Lila made the decision to treat
119:09
Speaker A
the bouquet she was holding as a present anyway believing that it was a present from Uncle Bill didn't seem to be particularly inaccurate Lea took a lighter stride as she moved along the Forest Trail along the leaping stairs
119:22
Speaker A
the hair that had been waved loose to make a thread to tie the bouquet was she was unaware of how fortunate she was that the painful job and discomfort was no longer present nevertheless she claimed that going forward she would go
119:34
Speaker A
through it every month even though Chef Mona's new underwear was uncomfortable it was considerably more tolerable than that being a woman Chef Mona had said the words that were Bermuda Triangles like mystery to Lila shrouded in uncertainty and prickling with a sense
119:48
Speaker A
of forboding she couldn't quite grasp the full meaning of it yet but the memory of the word alone sent a shiver down her spine to Lea the idea of becoming a woman held a sense of on reverence that woman that's what her
120:02
Speaker A
relatives had called her mother with all sorts of derogatory modifiers attached her daughter they called her that name with disdain their anger clear in their tone it was easy to see how much contempt they held for her was her
120:15
Speaker A
mother truly the terrible woman they made her up to be Lea had been grappling with this question more and more but finding an answer proved difficult but one thing was certain Lea never wanted to be like the woman they spoke of or
120:27
Speaker A
like her mother or like her daughter it was a small bloody lump that caught her eye diverting her thoughts from her contemplation Lila didn't have to get closer to know what it was a beautiful little bird shot by the Duke she
120:41
Speaker A
recoiled in horror biting back the scream that threatened to escape her lips Lila nervously walked the winding path through the forest her heart pounding with fear it was not the day of the hunting party and yet she knew that
120:53
Speaker A
the Duke had a habit of going out alone to practice his Marksmanship on the small birds of the forest Uncle Bill praised the Duke's improved shooting skills day by day but Lila could not shake the feeling of dread that overcame
121:04
Speaker A
her whenever she thought of him alone in the woods with a gun in his hand the Duke became a completely different person when he was not surrounded by the other Nobles whenever he went hunting alone it was bad news for both the
121:15
Speaker A
forest small birds in her she debated turning around and going the other way but her curiosity got the better of her as she walked the sound of gunfire echoed through the trees and Lea knew that the Duke was nearby when she Drew
121:28
Speaker A
closer she could see the Duke on the road his horse's head turned in her Direction he had just lowered his gun and a small bird lay blooded At His Feet Leila froze hugging a bunch of Roses close to her chest as the Duke's eyes
121:41
Speaker A
met hers she could see the change in his expression from one of satisfaction to one of malice she wanted to run but her legs would not move she wanted other Nobles to show up and safe her but no
121:53
Speaker A
one came no matter how long she waited the Duke was by himself cry even better if you beg Side Story 11 with lightning quick reflexes Mias spotted the child sprinting away and immediately gave Chase though it may have seemed like a simple routine
122:10
Speaker A
Pursuit Mias couldn't shake the feeling that there was something deeper at play was she running from a traumatic memory the thought of the child almost getting shot on their first encounter send a chill down his spine but as he closed in
122:23
Speaker A
on her he realized that her desperate Escape was becoming increasingly erratic and inexplicable despite her fear and confusion Maas couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement as he closed in on the mysterious girl the small girl's Terror was evident as maias approached
122:37
Speaker A
her she continued to look at him as she was cornered and maias couldn't help but notice how much her eyes resembled AR's summer forest at that very time they appeared to stand out even more despite her petite and thin build she was still
122:50
Speaker A
a youngster but he saw saw that she seemed to have matured since their first summer encounter did they call her Leila Lea Lea lellan intentionally driving slowly in her Direction Mias followed her but their Gap gradually closed the
123:05
Speaker A
terror in her eyes increased as she turned around Rose Lea looked back as Mias suddenly spotted the flower she was holding she tripped over a stone fell to the ground and let out a brief scream that shattered the piece of the Forest
123:18
Speaker A
Road as Mias pulled up on his horse in front of the Fallen child the Petals of a broken rose fluttered in the wind he gazed at the scene for a moment before the child jumped to her feet and stepped
123:28
Speaker A
back her small face red and wet with tears oh h Hello Duke she said as if giving up on any further resistance standing before him with her head bowed she reminded Mias of a deer she often encountered in the woods with her
123:42
Speaker A
immature slender arms and legs as he stared at her stooped shoulders matias's gaze shifted to the Rose on the ground but before he could reach it the child had already run off and hidden behind a tree her figure shaking though familiar
123:56
Speaker A
there was something different about her now and Maas couldn't shake the feeling that this encounter was not as simple as it seemed what kind of kid was she mithas was getting bored with this situation it was nothing more than a
124:08
Speaker A
minor annoyance but he couldn't help but find it amusing to spend his time on such a pointless Pursuit he lowered his squinty eyes and examined the bouquet of roses the scattered petals fluttering in the wind Hey kid pick it up he said
124:21
Speaker A
point pointing to the bouquet at the end of his hunting gun it's yours the child's green eyes staring blankly at him filled with tears Mias stared at her for a long time the afternoon was becoming more and more tedious that was
124:35
Speaker A
when he decided to end this game he got off his horse and picked up the abandoned bouquet of roses and approached the child who was hiding behind the tree he handed the flowers to her politely but with a hint of
124:46
Speaker A
haughtiness that perfectly matched the Duke of her heart's appearance the child who took the flowers with without realizing it looked confused but Mias paid no heed he left the flustered child behind and turned away as Mias returned to the mansion he shot several more
125:02
Speaker A
birds making for a decent afternoon hunt but his encounter with Bill rer in the Rose Garden was about to take an unexpected turn well Duke The Gardener greeted him as usual but this time he had something to say mithas turned to
125:16
Speaker A
face him it's nothing more than can I take that Rose Bill reamer pointed to a flower of precious roses that the two duchesses particularly cherished yet his tone was uncharacteristically timid yes as much as you like maias replied
125:31
Speaker A
casually as Mr reamer wishes he turned away leaving a moderately indifferent and generous answer but as he took a few steps he noticed the gardener approaching the flower bed he had just given permission to take from ah Mr
125:44
Speaker A
reamer Mias called out causing the man to stop in an awkward position with a start no meias who had had been lost in thought for a moment shook his head erasing his previous question he couldn't help but wonder how long the
125:59
Speaker A
orphan in charge of the garden Leila would remain in this harvis mithas was suddenly filled with curiosity about the child he had encountered in the garden but he didn't want to get involved there was no reason for him to know the
126:11
Speaker A
identity of a child who was just one of the numerous users of Arvis which had now become boring to him he left the garden and quickly forgot about the kit the following year Duke Kart returned to Arvis as usual but he never again went
126:24
Speaker A
on a hunt to chase away the orphan living in the forest and the next year Mias was commissioned as an officer through the Royal Military Academy following in the family tradition while serving on the overseas front he never
126:36
Speaker A
returned to his thief and the child who meant nothing to him disappeared from his life as if she had vanished Into Thin Air there was no place for such meaningless memories in the life of the perfect Duke of her heart it really was
126:49
Speaker A
until this summer after returning from the front as he stood on the platinous road with a lush Greenery stretched out before him a beautiful wave of green her eyes were as striking as ever reminding him of the summer forest of Arvis
127:02
Speaker A
middle. middle do do middle. middle dot Lea carefully dug a hole and placed the rose in it it was the same Rose she had found last summer paired with a beautiful water bird that she had decorated with colored thread she laid
127:15
Speaker A
the bouquet of roses next to the bloody Cold Bird before covering it up with soil she hesitated for a moment But ultimately decided to bury it she never would have imagined that the Duke would pick up a bouquet of flowers let alone
127:28
Speaker A
be as polite as he was he was just like the Duke heart that everyone knew dignified and reserved the thought of him doing something so out of character was strange and surreal it was the first time she felt like she truly met the
127:40
Speaker A
Duke of her heart the man who was praised by the people of Arvis Lea held her breath in fear that he might bully her in some other way but nothing more happened he handed her the Roses Turned and Left it wasn't until he was gone
127:53
Speaker A
that she realized she was relieved she felt embarrassed at the thought that the Roses might have been a gift from Claudine someone who had thrown them away but as she walked back to her cabin with the bouquet she couldn't bring
128:04
Speaker A
herself to throw away the journey felt much longer than usual it was something she shouldn't have kept Leila made such a strong commitment as she set out with gloves and shovels to bury the birds the Duke had murdered she then returned to
128:17
Speaker A
the space and picked up the flower she had placed at the desk's end the dead bird buried the rose in that recollection Lila then returned to the cabin while running I hope the Duke hate hunting she repeated the fruitless
128:29
Speaker A
prayers over and over again on her way back you've traveled through the Woodland again today huh just as Lila was about to enter the front door a booming voice startled her causing her to turn her head Uncle Bill was
128:41
Speaker A
squatting on the porch and was watching Lea you're still a child you know an infant his voice was low but the tone was actually extremely cordial Lea quickly moved toward him him after setting down her gloves and shovel Leila
128:55
Speaker A
who frequently attempted to occupy the chair next to Uncle Bill was deterred by a bouquet of flowers that had been placed there Uncle Leila asked as she noticed the bouquet in Uncle Bill's hands he hesitated for a moment before
129:07
Speaker A
answering well it's like that it's for you keep it Lea's eyes widened in surprise me really is it a present for me gift I've only picked what's grown all over the world Uncle Bill said c ually but Lea was already thrilled and
129:24
Speaker A
couldn't contain her excitement she hugged the bouquet which was almost as big as her body and paced around the porch admiring the flowers in the sunlight and then in the shade she couldn't stop smiling Uncle Bill couldn't help but burst out laughing
129:38
Speaker A
forgetting the embarrassment he had felt earlier he thought it was just a small gesture but seeing the child's happiness made it all worth it but Uncle this is a Precious Rose that The Duchess likes is it okay for me to take it asked holding
129:53
Speaker A
the rose tightly and her face filled with concern Uncle Bill taking a back blurted out GE a child like he worries about everything still Lea said don't worry I won't get in trouble for picking a few roses really Lea asked her eyes
130:09
Speaker A
shining with hope do you think I would lie to you Uncle Bill replied with a chuckle Leila shook her head and hugged the bouquet even tighter thank you Uncle it's so pretty she smiled broadly holding hold in back her tears she
130:23
Speaker A
thought she could finally forget the memory of the Rose buried with the bird having a real present for Leila lellan something this big and beautiful Lea lowered her head over the bouquet of roses and breathed in the sweet scent
130:34
Speaker A
for a long time in the meantime the tears in her eyes and nostrils gradually calmed down she didn't know what it meant to be a woman yet but there was no vague fear now she felt like everything was going to be fine in a Rosy and sweet
130:47
Speaker A
way like Uncle Bill's blessing the two stayed on the porch that they longer than usual Uncle Bill continued to give Lila affectionate Head Pants which Lila didn't give any thought to she burst out laughing relishing the hard treatment
131:01
Speaker A
that put her at ease she didn't understand the Roses her uncle had given her didn't have thorns until that evening she discovered the stem was smooth and devoid of any little Thorns as she unwrapped the newspaper and rope
131:12
Speaker A
that had been used to wrap the bouquet before placing it in a vase the Roses were identical throughout the Summer's lengthening ended after the Duke left Arvis the forest was once again peaceful Lea also developed swiftly in the
131:25
Speaker A
wilderness as if she had finally let go of something she transformed from a girl into a lady at this very moment as Chef Mona had said the magic of the years such calm days continued up until the summer when the Duke came back middle.
131:40
Speaker A
middle do do middle. middle dot Leila glanced at the bookcase covered in flowers and she suddenly had Vivid memories of those times the rose that Uncle Bill had given her withered and was lost over time time but the memory
131:52
Speaker A
was as fresh as ever lovely days infused with genuine love Lea was aware that the Rose maias had given her would eventually Wilt and vanish but the memory would live on in her heart and mind always the lovely rose of the night
132:05
Speaker A
that had been delicately tucked into her ears not the broken bouquet that had to be buried with the bird Leila gently grinned as she descended from the window frame and shut her somewhat warm eyes then she heard a knock on the door a
132:17
Speaker A
maate who worked for Norma and El was standing beyond the open door the mate the message in a calm voice and with good politeness my lady the duchesses are looking for you come along with me cry even better if you beg Side Story
132:33
Speaker A
12 the tea party with the herart family's three Regal duchesses was in full swing the atmosphere crackling with a moderate calmness tinged with awkwardness as conversation hit AOW the soothing splash of the fountain and the melodic chirping of birds filled the air
132:48
Speaker A
providing a Serene background to the delicate dance of teacups and saucers eating a little to conceal the awkwardness for a little while Leila gingerly placed her Cup on the table trying to imitate the graceful movements of the two Elder duchesses her heart
133:01
Speaker A
stuffed with Suffocation of royalty while avoiding the intoxicated gaze of Ellie AA on her heart you are truly a duchess now Norma said with a warm smile catching Lea's eye to everyone's surprise even Elis AV on her heart
133:15
Speaker A
nodded in agreement casting the web of unpredictability indeed Leila is becoming quite the elegant lady she never fails to impress me she said with a faint trace of admiration Leila couldn't help but Beam with pride her face a glow with happiness like a glass
133:30
Speaker A
Greenhouse being filled with sunlight while her eyes remained cool and composed the epitome of poison Grace the Lush vibrant roses were beaming through the vases on the table El Le AV on her heart's gaze flitted to the Roses
133:43
Speaker A
adorning their table as she turned to Lea and asked isn't that right Lea the question caused Lila to flush and fidget like a nervous child getting flooded with anxiety she took a warm sip of tea trying to compose herself and to
133:56
Speaker A
distract herself from sharp gazes Leila was not the daughter-in-law she had hoped for as Elis had to admit that she attempted to mold Lila into a proper Noble woman yet her efforts had gone in vain but she couldn't let her
134:09
Speaker A
disappointment show not when it came to protecting her family and her own dignity deep down Elis wondered with a heartache if Lea would ever meet her expectations but the presence of her son Mias made things no different than
134:22
Speaker A
before it was amusing to see Lea struggle especially when the biggest obstacle in her transformation was Maas himself who seemed content to keep the traces of Arvis child in her even after she had become his wife Leila you've
134:36
Speaker A
earned the recognition of even the Discerning Ellie you must be working very hard Norma interjected her words skillfully changing the mood as she gave a subtle wink to the waiting mate The maate Returned hurriedly with a box package and handed it to Lila the Box
134:50
Speaker A
took Lea by the unin invited surprise this is she looked at the two Mistresses with widened D eyes open it it's a gift from us Elise AV on her heart said her voice soft and gentle Lea hesitated before carefully untying the ribbon and
135:05
Speaker A
opening the lid inside she found a glass frame wrapped in thin paper as the paper was lifted she froze like the Earth underneath her feet became an iceberg the frame contained a photograph taken by the Arvis family and among the many
135:19
Speaker A
people in the picture Lea spotted her her beloved father Bill Remer standing stoutly on the far left looking profusely peeved after being dragged into the photograph I found a nice place to put pictures of you and Felix Norma
135:32
Speaker A
said her eyes becoming increasingly gentle as she looked at Leila whose words stuck in her throat and the tears wed in her eyes it's a picture that records the history of the family but it's the only picture left of Bill Remer
135:44
Speaker A
he really hated taking pictures Norma said as she remembered stumbling across the picture that had been sitting in the bottom compartment of the C cabinet collecting dust but really is it okay for me to have this Leila asked her
135:57
Speaker A
voice unsteady as the frame trembled in her shaky hands Ellie sa on her heart who had been watching amusedly laughed yes I will give it to you even if you come to possess it it's our family's history thank you so much Leila said her
136:12
Speaker A
nose turning red as she bowed her head in gratitude thank you so very much I must say it's very precious thank you very much she repeated her voice unsteady as she struggled to mask her overwhelming feelings in every way
136:26
Speaker A
possible Leila did not seem to have the Dignity of a duess but helis decided not to point that out at least not yet Leila had calmed down before she began to cry she pressed her eyelids tightly with her
136:37
Speaker A
fingers took off her glasses and smiled brightly as she gingerly put them back on again she may have been an unsatisfactory daughter-in-law who did not meet the expectations of royalty but it wasn't all that bad as Elis shared
136:50
Speaker A
the same s she may have lacked a little in dignity but she was a brutally honest child and when Lis saw her smiling face and realized it looked just like Felix her tolerance for her widened just a little
137:02
Speaker A
like a Glitters of light through a cracked door Leila it's time you need to learn some Royal manners ellay said her voice Stern yet hushed like the sound of the fountain Lea's head shot up in Surprise it wasn't expected at all you
137:16
Speaker A
cannot call yourself a proper lady if you act so politely towards your family Ellie continued shedding Lila off the little pride she gained before family Lea repeated quietly her mind racing like a wild horse with the blend of
137:30
Speaker A
thoughts you are now of onun her heart so we must hold you to a higher standard ellay added Lea's lips quivered once more as she processed the word family Elie who was studying her face offered a dispirited smile I find it difficult to
137:45
Speaker A
fully understand and accept you and I suspect that will continue in the future Elis admitted choosing not to sugarcoat the truth and display honesty in her demeanor as much as she could afford Lea nodded understanding you are my beloved
137:58
Speaker A
son's wife and my little grandson's mother I must respect that and I do even if I do not fully accept it you are a member of the herart family and while you may not be the perfect Duchess you
138:09
Speaker A
do have certain advantages Elise calmly conveyed her true feelings to ilila who was not entirely satisfied but not overly bothered by the critique it was simply the conclusion Elie had come to after a serving Lea for the past year I
138:23
Speaker A
still do not understand why maias sent you to college but it was quite exhilarating and pleasant for The Duchess of her heart to triumph over the sons of the women who once spoke ill of our family how agreeable a situation
138:34
Speaker A
Ellie said yes I'll do my best next semester to Lea said with a bright smile on her face her previous apprehensive expression now gone I look forward to it by the way Leila would you like to take advantage of anything else Elis asked
138:51
Speaker A
pardon me Lea replied profoundly confused perhaps the great advantage of having a child like Felix El said seriously Leila didn't couldn't comprehend her words even then she remained silent knowing it was not her place to speak when not spoken to
139:08
Speaker A
wouldn't it be so good for you to have at least another well-mannered child Elie hinted with a gentle smile even as they expressed their expectations so openly both women remained impossibly graceful Leila was envious of the respectable ladylike performances born
139:24
Speaker A
and bred to Perfection if I'm being honest I would love to have many children but Mias doesn't seem to share that sentiment he says that one child Felix is enough Leila mustered up the courage to explain herself despite
139:38
Speaker A
feeling flustered Elis observing her daughter-in-law nonchalantly opened her fan with a cold and unfeeling gesture what does it matter Leila you're the one carrying a child what Lea exclaimed caught off guard men only have the choice of whether or not to participate
139:55
Speaker A
in activities that may lead to such results but the Duke's morning routine is simply to visit the duchess's bedroom doesn't she have a choice in the matter Norma added with a scrutinizing gaze Lea was at a loss for words feeling
140:09
Speaker A
embarrassed and unsure of how to respond to such private and intimate topics being discussed so casually even if he doesn't want to when the time comes for him to have his own child he will fulfill his duties as a father isn't
140:21
Speaker A
that right Elis Norma asked glancing at her daughter-in-law Ure Mias will do as you please Ellis readily agreed her eyes briefly pausing on Lea's flushed and rened face after that the conversation soon returned to its original tasteful orbit it was hard to find any trace of
140:40
Speaker A
the conversation that had only occurred a moment ago the one that made Leila so ashamed that she developed the growing urge to faint in front of the two hostesses who were now enthusiastically planning a party to be held in a few
140:50
Speaker A
weeks weeks between the bird song crystal clear and melodious against the backdrop of the fountain's steady trickle Leila found herself surrounded by her own thoughts amidst the quiet conversation between the two older ladies reflecting on how similar her
141:04
Speaker A
husband Mias seemed to be to his grandmother and mother the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree she supposed middle Doon middle do do middle Doon middle dot knock knock it echoed through the bedroom door gaining matias's attention as he looked towards it it was
141:21
Speaker A
soft but then it came around a second time a little louder almost as if it was an urgent matter upon further investigation the knocking came not from the main bedroom door but rather from the connecting door which led straight
141:34
Speaker A
down the duchess bed Chambers finally coming to action Maas took his time in sitting down and covering his business files on the table as he tilted his head towards the closed door with no answer Leila finally turned the door's knobs
141:48
Speaker A
finding no resistance in opening them before she peeed her head and as she grew more restless with a continued silence upon seeing him just staring at her she can't help but frown in irritation why didn't you answer you
142:00
Speaker A
were quite clearly in the room Leila's eyes narrowed in annoyance at him when she found Maas reclining back on a chair why were you knocking on the door he rebutted in nonchalance Mias himself had never once knocked on the door leading
142:13
Speaker A
to The Duchess room so in turn Leila decidedly became more confident it's rude to open the door so suddenly she point pointed out additionally whatever I am I am foremost a lady the rambunctious laughter erupted out of Mias who stared at his wife who had made
142:29
Speaker A
a fairly Sly joke gently flowed through and entangled itself with a melody of the Walts filling the Duke's bedroom Lea had finally crossed the line with a bright smile plastered on her face Mias size did not leave her for a moment
142:42
Speaker A
until she came and stopped by you must be very busy today too she eventually added as she stopped right in front of him there was a strict intention in Lea's eyes as she quickly alternated between looking at the documents piled
142:54
Speaker A
up on the table and looking at Mias it signified that she had something to say yes tension in the room quickly turned into embarrassment when she heard His short and succinct answer meas who greatly enjoyed the amusing reactions of
143:09
Speaker A
Lila at this moment revealed his inner Mischief by doing his best to hold back a little smile at the end of his lip but it's over now he loosened his legs Rose lightly and stood face to face with his
143:20
Speaker A
wife say it Leila he expressed his willingness to listen but Lila couldn't open her mouth and began to Pace in circles for his wife who probably needed more time Mias lent comfortably against the glistening glass window frame only
143:35
Speaker A
after enough time had passed for the white muslin curtain to swell and sink several times did Lea come through with a determined face the posture of holding her head upright with the back of her hand was indeed quite bold can I really
143:47
Speaker A
be as greedy as I want Lea stared at him in a slight apprehension her tone genuinely serious as much as you like Mias nodded encouragingly he had the same composure as that of a full Predator Leila who gazed up at his
144:01
Speaker A
intimidating face quietly reflected her greed and hunger in her eyes shamelessly to him I wish to have another child she leaned in closely to his lips her breath hitting his as she eyed him sultrily another child Mias quirked up a brow at
144:15
Speaker A
her but his eyes darkened upon hearing her request yes I want a baby she reiterated blinking up Coti asly at him I can't help but crave for another you see Leila Mias breathed out in a low growl matching her intensity t-fold Lila
144:32
Speaker A
paused hesitantly before uttering her words clearly with a caring face looking at him in a manner she knew he'd be weak against give it to me she whispered against his lips I want your seat inside me cry even better if you beg Side Story
144:48
Speaker A
13 it was so unlike her to be so bold about such lwd Desires in front of him Mias couldn't help but chuckle at her Newfound brazenness but his eyes darkened with lust upon the prospect of breeding her once more not liking his
145:02
Speaker A
unresponsiveness Leila decided to be even more aggressive further pushing herself up against him one child is not enough Leila persisted Felix as wonderful as he is just looks so much like you I want a daughter this time someone to take after my likeness for a
145:19
Speaker A
change and if it doesn't happen happen this second time around he teased her both spouses circling each other like hungry vultures if we have another son like Felix you'd be saddled with just two more like me Lea he chuckled at her
145:33
Speaker A
it won't Lea insisted biting her lips seductively as she looked up at him through her lashes it'll go exactly as I want it to be I can feel it she hummed up at him leaning against his callous Palm that came up to caress her face and
145:47
Speaker A
how can you be so sure of that wonk you wish for such a thing my duke she pleaded hly at him after all you always get what you want she CED at him our daughter Leah can't you want her she
146:00
Speaker A
already has the name her father gave her so the only thing she just has to do now is be born Lea L her hands still on Mias hands wrapped around her cheeks his gaze which looked deeply was just calm with
146:13
Speaker A
neither affirmation nor negation how she spoke was desperate almost as though she were trying her very best to bargain with him her glistening D eyes looked up towards him and begged profusely realizing that he was not at all moved
146:26
Speaker A
by her actions or words her face darkened and turned melancholic do you hate children Lea's deliberately suen performance was clumsy and even more lovely seemingly having the opposite effect to what she intended upon Mias Lea I don't care how many children I
146:42
Speaker A
have looking into Leila's eyes full of himself Maas calmly conveyed his true feelings if you think about our family the more children the better and to every child born I will fulfill my duties as a father it's a job that has
146:56
Speaker A
nothing to do with that judgment whether you like it or not but you must have completely different expectations I may as well only be able to handle Felix and Leila I'm afraid of that Maas reflected on his silent thoughts the existence of
147:11
Speaker A
another child was still giving him somewhat mixed and vague feelings of course Felix was not in that category he loved his son he was a child who endured painful days was born healthy and became L's hope he was also the biggest
147:26
Speaker A
contributor acting as a political Pawn to his mother's reluctant and strained acceptance as a duchess maias knew well that there was no name but love when referring to the feeling at the moment when he saw his son smiling just like
147:37
Speaker A
his mother with that face even if the love was a little different from Lea's wish it certainly was what it was but what about the other kid well Maas was hard to be sure would his feelings for Felix arise the same way for any other
147:51
Speaker A
children he may have without such a dramatic War separation and reunion Felix's may have remained in the same sense as any other acromatic name even so he could quite possibly build and maintain the balance and Order of the
148:04
Speaker A
world as much as he could and he would do the same for everyone except Leila his Leila Mias he cut off and buried the idea of Lea's friendly loving image can't you think of me instead of a future that's not yet clear Lea wrapped
148:19
Speaker A
her slowly lowered arms around his waist pressing herself gently against her husband her soft warm lips curled into a slight Smile as she teasingly remined her dreams I want to spend time with you when I have a baby they shall grow up
148:33
Speaker A
and be born into this world DED in comforting and warm love it would be so likey to prefer that time spent over the baby you couldn't do that when we had Felix speaking of this Lea felt like she's not a good mother but at the
148:46
Speaker A
moment she decided not to hide this greet oh and of course I also want to happily confess that I have a baby and be warmly congratulated I want to proudly show off that my baby has grown this much without hiding that
148:59
Speaker A
I'm pregnant when morning sickness comes I can complain that it's hard and be fussed over relentlessly and I can beg for what I want to eat and when time passes in the day when the baby is born I hope the whole family will joyously
149:11
Speaker A
greet the baby together I won't be lonely her eyes suddenly dampened and turned red and her voice began to tremble but Lea could still muster a tiny smile give me all that time and memory as a gift shall we say is that
149:26
Speaker A
okay maias Von her heart was utterly defeated Mias admitted the fact with a long passionate kiss there was no other answer he didn't seem to want to find it either their deep kiss which began while they were still standing by the window
149:40
Speaker A
got interrupted for a moment when the two of them finally reached the bed she waited with a disorderly breath but for some reason the man in front of her showed no signs of continuing what they were doing all he did was look down at
149:52
Speaker A
her her figure clearly reflected in his eyes after staring at each other for a while a s mixed with laughter escaped from his lips this Sudden Change in Behavior made Lila uncertain of what had just happened I thought I was being used
150:05
Speaker A
as a means to fulfill your greed Mias said with a frown as he lightly tilted his head Discerning the playfulness in his soft voice she nonchalantly smiled and sat up straight yes that's right how does it feel to be used by me Duke she
150:20
Speaker A
playfully asked while fiddling on his shirt buttons the once pure and innocent Leila had now become quite Adept at unraveling his cloth her warm fingertips quickly unbuttoned his shirt revealing his strong chest to her gaze you can do
150:33
Speaker A
as you please your majesty he replied with a cool and smooth tone while looking down at her Nimble and petite hands that were diligently taking off his buttons I'd happily obey your orders his words made Lea turn her attention
150:45
Speaker A
towards the man in front of her with a light frown this man was the most fascinating when he wore that dubiously crooked and arrogant grin like a rogue that was eyeing a precious treasure all right I will do just what you've asked
150:57
Speaker A
she smiled sweetly and innocently like an untainted Maiden yet she expertly took off his shirt that was just secured by the last button and used you to my heart's content she firmly pulled him onto the bed as if trying to prove her
151:10
Speaker A
words that were filled with Fierce determination Mias happily followed along as she took the lead otherwise her weak frame wouldn't even be able to exert enough Force to push down her large physique with such ease she soon ran out of ideas on what to do next and
151:24
Speaker A
ended up hesitating for a good while with renewed determination she first made him sit down against a fluffy pile of cushions she then quickly sat on his lap and hurriedly took off her own Pajamas not wearing any underwear her
151:36
Speaker A
mesmerizing naked body was not long after shown in front of him Maas slowly moved his gaze from her naked chest to her smooth Supple legs with an arrogant smirk his scrutinizing gaze soon went back to Leila's pretty face that was
151:50
Speaker A
full of embarrassment as if she could not bear his hungry gaze any longer she quietly gave up on trying to make him stop his blatant staring it was undoubtedly a very embarrassing situation for her but in the end she
152:02
Speaker A
didn't hate it she couldn't even bring herself to hate it either she slowly breathed out a small sigh and began to kiss his neck where she could feel his faint pulse slowly she continued downwards to his heart sharp collarbone
152:15
Speaker A
his muscular shoulder and finally to the scar below his shoulder she may have gotten used to it by now but sometimes when she sees his scars once again her mind effortlessly returns to the night when she first saw the violent scars
152:28
Speaker A
that were left on his body at that time she was shocked to the point that she was rendered speechless and dazed for quite a while what the hell are those after discovering the gruesome marks from his Old Wounds that littered his
152:40
Speaker A
body she hurriedly took off all his clothes like a distressed and concerned mother and began to diligently check all the scars that had been left all over his body when she saw the scars that had come from the battle where the harrowing
152:51
Speaker A
news of his forthcoming death circulated wildly she began to loudly cry and SOB uncontrollably like a wounded child without even realizing it on that day she kissed his scars lovingly and Tenderly just like what she did tonight tears welled up in her eyes and soon she
153:07
Speaker A
couldn't stop sobbing she knew it was a pain that could never be erased with just her kiss but she wanted to comfort him with whatever means that she could deep down in her heart she realized after repeating such actions laced with
153:19
Speaker A
her desperate wishes kissing his scars that had brought him pain again and again that there was no more room left in her heart to hate and resent this man he returned back to her side and she forgave him tonight was that kind of
153:32
Speaker A
night a special moment where they spent time together without hatred or sadness they needed to start a fresh but this time only with their undying love for one another Lila ended her barrage of kisses that were akin to a sacred ritual
153:45
Speaker A
by delivering a warm final kiss on his hardened flexed arm were the remnants of a gunshot w W remained how far they've gone since they first took those first steps that day she slowly raised her head and stared at Mias to see how he
153:57
Speaker A
would react she liked the sound of his breath which was as frantic as the waves of a stormy sea she also found herself deeply enamored by his dark Soulful eyes which Shone with desires so clouded that even the most nearsighted could make
154:11
Speaker A
them out she stretched out her thin pale arms and held him gingerly by the back of his neck their burning body heat and pounding Hearts slowly merged as their bare chests touched and were held tightly against one another you're so
154:23
Speaker A
beautiful Lila caressed him lovingly giving him kisses and murmuring sweet nothings in his ears like he was a loved infant a certain someone thought that those words didn't fit his current appearance at all as he gasped for air
154:36
Speaker A
maias blinked at his wife in bewilderment like her spouse she glanced back blankly and smiled brightly at him in contrast to the woman who was actually driving him crazy she came across as an untypically innocent pure Maiden the first first time I saw you I
154:51
Speaker A
was really surprised that you were so beautiful you're so scary but you're still so gorgeous don't you think that's a strange compliment to give to your husband not at all from that day till now those words still ring true I've
155:05
Speaker A
never seen anyone as pretty as you nor have I ever seen anyone as mean or hateful as you Lila gave him a light-hearted peck on the lips after she made the confession I'm glad you're fine with such a mean man Mias ended up
155:17
Speaker A
laughing as if he had just heard a funny joke ultimately surrendering to her in the end his wife who looked at him carefully tilted her head slightly as if she were about to ask him something do you think this is the only thing I enjoy
155:30
Speaker A
her hands which were noticeably warmer than usual wrapped around his beautiful face Leila who was completely redone and wore a very serious expression on her face was incredibly alluring to him well you're driving me crazy Maas stared blankly at his beautiful wife as he
155:46
Speaker A
thought he made the executive decision not to tell her out loud loud he didn't even want her to know at this moment everything about this woman had to be his very own and only for him ah yes her
155:58
Speaker A
vision darted back and forth as she looked at Mias who was simply nodding his head I used to Lea's face flushed like an apple tree in full bloom and his mean words triggered long buried memories even if she couldn't see nor
156:10
Speaker A
picture herself she could still visualize her likeness of Blaze with an uncontainable heat don't cry what you like is fine in front of her pitiful appearance cried in pain Maas continued to calmly pacify his wife how could he
156:24
Speaker A
tell such a lowly joke at a moment like this because of his words Leila fiercely removed her lips in a fit of anger but she was ultimately speechless when she saw the Brazen man pointing to his face it seemed intentional but it was funny
156:38
Speaker A
of him to ask all she could do was to hit the man before her with a clenched fist the current situation was no different than that night while her flimsy fists seemed to do little more than Pat his Rock Solid shoulders and
156:49
Speaker A
well chest he casually undid his pants Leila who only noticed his actions after a few minutes flinched Maas as usual showed no qualms in revealing his desire upfront why did she have to feel ashamed when he was the one who should be
157:04
Speaker A
feeling embarrassed such inan thoughts floated aimlessly in her confused brain but they quickly evaporated her Rogue of a husband yanked her close to his powerful but flexible Body by the neck and kissed her soft pliant lips like he
157:17
Speaker A
was a thirsty traveler to get on top of of her he pushed his weight forward onto her softly pushing her backwards big and strong his arms encircled her and held her captive in his love and want her eyes gazed at the air aimlessly
157:31
Speaker A
eventually captured his fading attention again with a sweet resignation matthy for lack of anything else to say she kept Whispering his pet name over and over again she knew he was still listening to her i'llbe it only half-heartedly she was embarrassed by
157:46
Speaker A
her quavering voice in the hot wet moans that accompanied them but a part of her didn't want it to keep her emotions buried but her mind soon became Swept Away by the title search of pleasure and she could no longer recall even the name
157:58
Speaker A
she had been calling out so often the snowy World in her green eyes began to shake as a warm fiery heat overcame her cry even better if you beg Side Story 14 his exhausted wife fell asleep in his arms after giving in to him until
158:15
Speaker A
she was completely spent or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that her awareness was completely depleted but semantic differences like these didn't matter in the end the outcome was the same Mias remained immobile savoring the feel of her tender form that had gone
158:30
Speaker A
pliant from the Euphoria she had received from his warmth as her body gradually released its warmth and cooled she snuggled closer into his robust arms the unconscious yearning she exhibited by seeking out his heat was surprisingly enchanting enough to briefly satiate him
158:45
Speaker A
and set aside his unrequited longing Mias tenderly planted a kiss on her delicate forehead before enveloping her in his tighter Embrace he couldn't help but fall victim to a hopeless Amorous mood despite being a married to her for
158:58
Speaker A
a year and so with the subtle woman slumbering serenely in his arms he was at a complete loss for what to do next he dismissed the notion that it was an amusing sensation to experience with his wife as she was already his completely
159:12
Speaker A
from head to toe that her skin Flesh and Bones belong to him the same as her soul and her warm breathe he was acutely aware that his carnal desires for Lila had never been his top priority before and he had no desire to alter that fact
159:25
Speaker A
even if he possibly could gradually Lea's rhythmic breaths began to fill the empty room cutting through the silence that only grew more profound with each passing moment Mias gazed upon her Visage with his arms still folded around her when he stroked the soft tendrils of
159:41
Speaker A
baby hairs on her forehead the shadow cast by her long lashes quivered and danced in response fluttering his soul in desire a gentle smile tugged at matias's lips as he lowered his head to plant a tender kiss on the dampened
159:53
Speaker A
corners of her eyes the sensation of her body gently stirring in Slumber provided an inexplicable sense of Solace the midsummer Breeze permeated through them through their interwine bodies drenched in Love and Desire seamlessly melding with the comfortable warmth of the
160:08
Speaker A
sheets that enveloped them with a firm touch Mias traced the faint path of tears that traced down her face and rested on her plump Supple lips as he lingered he was drawn like a magnet to to the gravitating heat of her steady
160:21
Speaker A
breath although his stance on having another child remained unchanged Mias couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt for the limited time he was able to spend caring for her while carrying their child his inability to be there
160:33
Speaker A
for her when she needed me most during the war me that the only time he had seen her with Felix was all too fleeting and selfish he was consumed by a Madness so profound that the life of his own
160:42
Speaker A
child was rendered trivial in his eyes but the pleasure Leila heavy with his unborn child brought to him was enough to D the thing of disillusionment and self-loathing that festered within him if only he could relive those moments
160:54
Speaker A
with her once again without the Spectre of pain and Trauma lurking at every turn Maas held her slender waist a warmth so scorching it seared through him the memory of her once swollen belly flooded his mind a painful reminder of the time
161:08
Speaker A
he had lost a long time ago how could he forget the way her tummy had stretched and expanded filling up until she seemed ready to burst at any moment what would it be like this time around how large
161:19
Speaker A
would she grow in the coming year he couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of her imagining her as a beautiful bloated creature he adored her this moment and promised to love her forever such a sight would have been a Marvel to
161:31
Speaker A
behold and he couldn't help but smile at the vision his highspeed train of thinking quickly became cluttered with random situations and inquiries but as he felt her warmth calmly dozing in his arms his confusion was quickly cleared he was quick to admit that he had been
161:46
Speaker A
incredibly conceited dismissing his love for her as something to be immediately satisfied and resolved once he had her his lethal obsession with her persisted even after the times when he completely believed she was entirely his at least during the times that their bodies were
162:00
Speaker A
intertwined he would be able to temporarily escape the sensation of powerlessness if heul reach as far as heck cooled thrust as forcefully as he could and push his body to the Limit while immersing himself in his beloved Le's warmth Mias reluctantly withdrew
162:15
Speaker A
his hand slowly away from her bare beautiful glittering chest when she slowly opened her eyes and let out a quiet moan then he carefully tightened his grasp while slowly adding a tiny amount of strength as he looked into her
162:26
Speaker A
hazy murky eyes that were still drowsy although this significantly hampered her ability to breathe the wicked pleasure he received from adding his red handprints to her sensitive flesh made him feel warm like a scorching Sun within it's okay Lea just rest mithas
162:42
Speaker A
whispered lovingly caling like she was a little bothered child kissing the lovely hard nipples of her chest he noted her hushed trembling voice and overt yearning while he already inside her body once more liar Leo whispered through a soft voice her slender eyes
162:58
Speaker A
narrowed as she gazed at him yet a faint feeble smile graced her lips despite her seemingly lethargic demeanor her gaze was sharp and pure like a pristine light that perfectly reflected the radiance of the full moon hm Mias accepted her
163:13
Speaker A
obligation cooly while sitting with his hips lifted he had already settled into a comfortable position sitting between her spread apart knees while she shrank and coiled up in response to the impending strain what a liar you are she
163:26
Speaker A
said smilingly leaving speechless Mias felt even more daring as he naturally smiled boldly he however responded to her charge by kissing her knee for a split second his Queen gently relaxed her hard frame accepting and falling into his unsaid submission Mias
163:43
Speaker A
tightened his hold on her slender waist and gently slid inside of her he was utterly hungry yearning for her even became stronger every time she inhaled deeply and softly and stroked her delicate body against his he kept pushing himself into her his hunger grew
163:57
Speaker A
every time when he softly pressed himself against her pale Divine body Lea was trembling uncontrollably experiencing too much pleasure her watery eyes were searching for something as she could only sob and dramatically reach out her arms towards him Mias
164:12
Speaker A
leaned down and answered her kind plea his entire body making a Lusty moan her insides were warm like a sun and soft as feather much like her body which was barely holding on after all the pleasure he had thrust inside her and her insides
164:25
Speaker A
constricted around his celebrating the pleasure that triggered her body and soul together I love you maias whispered softly between his staggered breaths facing her sweaty face now he learned the strange feeling he felt at the moment when his eyes locked onto hers
164:40
Speaker A
their bodies intertwin like tangled hair love despite his attempts to look away and ignore his intense feelings he was webbed in his heart tirelessly pounded with affection for her defying his every attempt to resist I am in love with you
164:54
Speaker A
Leila I confessed the very sound of her name sent shivers down her spine and the joy it brought to him to say these words was immeasurable his heart overflowed with love for her and he could say it a
165:06
Speaker A
thousand times and still felt the same Rush of emotions so he said it again and again Leila I am deeply in love with you my Lea I love you middle. middle do do middle. middle thought the slow moving
165:20
Speaker A
season of long days passed at a heartbreaking Pace the water of the shelter River gradually darkened in color as the peak of the day Heat Wave passed even though it was still summer the color was a sure sign that fall was
165:32
Speaker A
on its way Lea accepted the passage of time with joy even though it sometimes brought her to sadness Felix matured ripening alongside the season as he Grew Older he began to resemble maias more and more but also a lot like Lea she
165:47
Speaker A
knew it was a given but Lea was always pleasantly amazed and happy about it love grew as the season carried on as did the child when Lila was able to entrust herself to the shelter River without further fear maias went to rats
166:00
Speaker A
for a short while the expansion of the company he said had him focused with work matters she and Felix could have gone back to the capital together now that summer break had begun but instead Leila chose to spend the season in Arvis
166:14
Speaker A
with Felix until her husband returned both duchesses were pleased with the choice but especially especially Ellie's a on her heart her remarkable affection for her grandson manifested itself in recent years and just recently she persisted on proclaiming Felix the
166:28
Speaker A
truest and most well-made Masterpiece of the herart family embarrassing Lea to some degree why are you upset about giving up your husband's seat to your son staring right at Lila Elisa's eyes were sharp and full of intrigue as she
166:41
Speaker A
asked Leila wouldn't it be hard to call your husband who was so easily dazzled by a woman who used his life as a means still a Masterpiece of the family the belligerence in her expressionless gaze was tangible Leila couldn't come up with
166:55
Speaker A
a suitable retort if your own son were to threaten you you'd know how I felt Elis said but soon gone was her smile and replaced by a grim expression no that won't happen Felix can't repeat his dad's mistakes she smiled warmly and
167:11
Speaker A
hugged the grandson who was sitting on her lap playing happily Felix you must be the true Masterpiece of the herart family although he had no idea what such a word meant Felix smiled and nodded enthusiastically knowing it would make
167:24
Speaker A
both of his grandmothers pleased day after day the summer of Arvis passed without Mias the two desses became increasingly attached to their grandson as the time for goodbye approached making it more difficult for Lea to spend quality time alone with her son
167:39
Speaker A
she did however feel a twinge of sadness for her son who had fit in with no trouble without showing an ounce of shyness Leila's lips curled into a sweet grin as she reflected on her son's bubbly personality which she argued was
167:52
Speaker A
nothing like her husband's she was getting bored studying for the upcoming semester so she was heading out for a walk she sought Felix's company but he was preoccupied with the gifts from his doting grandmothers Lea took off her
168:05
Speaker A
wide brim Straw Hat as she stepped into the dense Treeline Trail her long Fair hair flowed as the wind blew memories of a past summer without her Duke flooding her thoughts so peaceful just like the Tranquility of the forest she was
168:18
Speaker A
strolling roll in through the year maias headed for the front lines as an officer after receiving his commission arv people were a little unfamiliar with when summertime arrived without the stormy ceremonial of Duke herarts return even Uncle Bill who typically doesn't
168:33
Speaker A
care about such things shared these sentiments Lea decided to hide her smile how long she had waited for the summer without the Duke how happy and fortunate she was she wanted to bury all those feelings in her heart and have a
168:47
Speaker A
peaceful Summer she really thought it was Leila went on an adventurous for through the forest she observed the returning migrating birds made notes on the recently discovered flowers and picked as many wild fruits as she wanted to convert into a delicious Jammy
169:02
Speaker A
preserve Leila matured much throughout the summer the long lean limbs that had largely shaped her physique had given way to more feminine curves Lea lellan had a number of male admirers waiting for her at the Gillis girl school
169:14
Speaker A
entrance but she was certain that she had no interest in dating at the time it was the the season when she shed her childlike appearance in favor of a more gorgeous womanly figure a pleasant and beautiful summer full of happy and
169:26
Speaker A
lovely memories there were times however as today when she halted in the midst of the Woodland Road she tilted her head as she stared for a while along the peaceful Lane but she quickly forgot about it and continued on with another
169:39
Speaker A
live step Leila stared unblinkingly at the path that led to the shelter River the heel of her shoe kicked the ground softly sending a cloud of dust wisping Skyward she held her ground for a while before walking Downstream toward the
169:52
Speaker A
river should I call him that silly notion made her beam a bit oddly reduning her hat Leila began to retrace her steps a little faster middle. middle do do middle do middle dot Kyle saw the man in an unexpected place he was
170:08
Speaker A
accompanying his dad on a house call he wasn't quite ready to practice medicine on his own but he did his best to be a trustworthy assistant Duke Kart's ride came to a halt in front of of a hotel in
170:19
Speaker A
edman Street just opposite the medical center the man's familiar gestures as he stepped out of the car caught Kyle's eye when they would have gone unnoticed with any other person what's the matter Kyle Dr edman questioned as he stepped out
170:33
Speaker A
after parking his car oh nothing the weather is nice Kyle answered flatly before his dad could cross the street and have a look the summer that the Duke of her heart came home was also the summer that the Edmunds left Carl's bar
170:46
Speaker A
nobody had compelled it but it was obvious that it would happen eventually the Duke's Medical position was filled by a colleague of Dr Edmunds and they soon settled in rats where they opened a larger hospital after completing his
170:59
Speaker A
medical training Kyle planned to join his father in running the Family Hospital thankfully Dr Redman was allowed immediate entry into the hospital without additional questioning Kyle sighing heavily in relief turned his gaze back to the street in search of
171:13
Speaker A
the man he had just seen almost at the same time the Duke of her heart turned his head and their eyes met on the quiet Road cry even better if you beg Side Story 15 the two men locked eyes in the
171:29
Speaker A
tents silence Showdown time seemed to stand still as they calmly sized each other up either flinching or breaking eye contact it was the Duke who finally made the first move turning to Kyle and giving a subtle nod of his chin a
171:42
Speaker A
gesture of politeness and Detachment a reminder that he was still the same Maas Von her heart Duke of her heart and was still just the doctor's son he sometimes crossed paths with like the days when someone named Maas Von her heart took up
171:55
Speaker A
no meaning in his life Kyle returned the greeting with a respectful nod of his own after years the Duke hadn't changed a bit his feelings pendulum swung between frustration and a sense of relief maybe it's because he can see A's
172:08
Speaker A
happiness radiating off the Duke's face without a word the Duke sauntered off into the hotel his perfect aristocratic and businessman Persona on full display Kyle watched him go his expression calm but his mind racing like a wild stallion
172:23
Speaker A
it was hard to avoid anything related to them as long as he lived under the sky of this Berg he was kept up to date on the dukal pair even if he didn't try to seek it out people persisted for a time
172:34
Speaker A
in their interest and illegitimate children the marriage that upended the entire Empire and the mistress who became a duess new rumors abounded every day which were Then followed by various types of criticism and speculation the aristocratic Society was most
172:49
Speaker A
enthusiastic about the position but the university setting Where The Duchess entered and the doctor's son one of the Scandal Central figures wasn't all that different for the past year Kyle had been living in a state of Detachment almost quarantined as if he was
173:04
Speaker A
completely uninvolved in the events that were happening around him despite others attempts to draw him into the drama Kyle remained stoic knowing that the Duke of her heart's influence was the reason behind their silence but Kyle knew the
173:16
Speaker A
truth how the Duke was a Madman when it came to his wife the Nobles of berg quickly learned this as well as the Duke proved it without hesitation using any means necessary to protect his beloved Duchess the noblemen who understood the
173:29
Speaker A
brutality of the Duke's methods were too afraid to speak out against him yet his power was not limited to just this one thing and the fact that everything else remained unchanged made people even more afraid of the Duke of her heart after
173:41
Speaker A
the Duke was no longer seen Kyle headed to Edmund's hospital his long strides determined as if he marched through the streets of Arvis with with his closest friend despite his actions his opinion of the Duke mathas van herart never
173:55
Speaker A
wavered he wasn't a good man but somehow he was still able to be a loving husband it was a strange Paradox that Kyle had come to accept and even predict middle.
174:06
Speaker A
midle do do. middle. middle dot the Duke's schedule was a rwind of activity with no time for rest or Leisure from a foreign Ministry luncheon to a hotel meeting with businessmen and finally a board meeting to finalize new overseas
174:20
Speaker A
oil Investments his schedule was jam-packed his personal assistant Mark iers followed closely behind making sure everything ran smoothly without a single word of complaint and with no room for a mistake as the Duke prepared to leave Arvis his Duchess his beloved Le of on
174:37
Speaker A
her heart approached him her eyes filled with impatience how many days will your business take she asked the Duke lost in thought replied simply about a week despite the tight schedule The Duchess couldn't hide her Joy at the thought of
174:52
Speaker A
seeing her husband again sooner than expected I'll be waiting she said with a smile as the Duke leaned in for a goodbye kiss Mark iers knew that the Duke would accomplish everything in that one week no matter the cost and as he
175:05
Speaker A
followed the Duke through the hotel lobby and into the banquet hall he reminded himself that even if the schedule was unreasonable he had no choice but to accept it and make it work the Duke's posture and smile were stoic
175:17
Speaker A
as if it was just another day at work his courtesy and habits ingrained in him Mark iers deely stepped back as they neared the banquet Hall's entrance giving the Duke the opportunity to command attention the Duke's presence was felt even more strongly under Mark's
175:32
Speaker A
skillful Direction and as a result the room became silent and everyone's attention was drawn to him like a metal to magnet in what appeared to be anticipation of the Duke's arrival the air began to change and shift it was
175:44
Speaker A
well known that the Duke was quite detested many people were unhappy with his marriage and his vigorous economic expansion since they upended the conventional aristocratic Society the Duke was strong and in charge despite everything and his presence was
175:58
Speaker A
undeniable many powerful families lost their way and fell apart in the post-war upheaval but her heart was getting richer and richer every day while embracing the New Year's order whilst emergent businessmen kept their rivals in check and adoring the name Zora the
176:11
Speaker A
aristocrats wanted to rely on him to undermine the rules Maas slowly approached the threshold of the dinner Hall after pausing for a while whatever it could be the men assembled here graciously extended a warm welcome to the young proprietor of the herart
176:25
Speaker A
family theas started to move through them middle. middle do do middle. middle dot Mr edman doct as Kyle stepped onto the second floor of the hospital a familiar voice caught his attention he turned to see a young girl her bright
176:42
Speaker A
green eyes shining in the sunlight running towards him she was out of breath and smiling her blonde hair braided and sway playing like a flawed pendulum as she stopped in front of him I'm not a doctor yet Kyle replied with a
176:54
Speaker A
gentle smile ruffling the girl's messy hair then what are you she tilted her head in curiosity I'm still a student Kyle replied his fingers lingering on the girl's head as memories of his childhood with Leila flooded back to him
177:08
Speaker A
the soft touch of her hair the way her eyes Shone the way she stole his heart all those years ago but I'll call you doctor because you're a doctor for me the child spoke with determination and Kyle couldn't help but smile in response
177:22
Speaker A
the girl's face lit up like the sun her stubbornness endearing to him this is for you sir the child fumbled in her pockets and pulled out a ripe Peach you gave me chocolate last time and cookies is that why you're repaying me Kyle
177:36
Speaker A
asked with a smile yes the child's answer was strong and sure it's a really delicious Peach make sure you eat it she added as if sharing a great secret with that the child took off down the hallway leaving Kyle with a peach in his hand he
177:52
Speaker A
watched her go her receding figure reminding him of Lila in her youth before disappearing around the corner the child turned and waved her Bright Smile lighting up the hallway like a torch against void one last time with a
178:05
Speaker A
peach that the child had given him Kyle ascended the stairs One More Story he spent the majority of the day in his study at the hospital end of the third floor with the exception of a brief period to assist his father with the
178:17
Speaker A
library of Edmond medical literature that had been accumulated over many generations it was the ideal location to focus on studies Kyle stood up from the desk and walked over to the study's window from where he was standing he
178:30
Speaker A
could see a little Park located behind the hospital in between looking at the peach and his fingers and a group of white pigeons ascending into the sky Kyle lowered his sight as a young boy he had a plethora of things he wanted to
178:42
Speaker A
give to Lea the girl he loved the most he longed to provide her with good school supplies books and snacks his heartbreaking at the thought of her going without to his relief Lea accepted his gifts gratefully but she also made
178:56
Speaker A
sure to repay him in kind at first Kyle couldn't help but wonder if Lila didn't want to be in debt to him or even if she hated him but he soon discovered the truth Lea was simply trying to express
179:07
Speaker A
her gratitude with things that were precious to her from that day on KY accepted her gifts with open arms her offerings of colorful bird feathers mysterious Pebbles and wild fruits all holding a special place in his heart but
179:20
Speaker A
of all the gifts it was the wild fruits that he treasured the most they were a reflection of her Wild and Free Spirit and every time he bit into one of her offerings he felt like he knew her a
179:30
Speaker A
little bit better and the fruit just like CLA were all sweet and delicious Kyle Sat by the window staring out at the park below savoring the taste of the juicy peach in his hand he allowed himself to let his thoughts drift to the
179:43
Speaker A
girl who had dominated his childhood her bright green eyes forever etched in his mind there love was unfulfilled but the memories of their childhood together were still precious to him like Priceless Jewels Leila had been his dearest friend sister and his lover and
179:59
Speaker A
those beautiful days they had shared had helped shape him into the person he was today he closed his hand around the hard Peach Pit the sweet nectar still clinging to his fingers thank you Leila for all the happiness you brought me he
180:13
Speaker A
thought a smile spreading across his face with a sense of contentment Kyle stood up the sunlight cracking through the window bathing him in a warm glow he made his way to his desk piled high with medical books and slowly opened the
180:27
Speaker A
bookshelf it had become a daily ritual for him to look at the picture frame remembering the girl who had once been a Precious part of his life as he began to study the quiet room was filled with the
180:37

sound of pages turning and Kyle's mind filled with memories of her middle. middle do do middle do middle dot Lea carefully examined the photograph once again after meticulously cleaning the frame to her satisfaction the Duke was depicted in Bill rerk lone photograph he
180:54
Speaker A
was positioned in the Middle with the other users lining up behind him her eyes shifted from Uncle Bill's extreme left side and paused on the face of the young kid Duke in the center the year before the mail wagon carried the girl
181:06
Speaker A
was shown at the bottom of the image he appeared to be a boy of around 17 yet oddly his stance and demeanor were the same as they were right now Mias had a similar reaction to the pictures and
181:17
Speaker A
portraits that were displayed played throughout the Duke's home even when he was quite little Leila beamed a little because she found it comical she then gave Uncle Bill another soft glance that had a hint of her smile Leila couldn't
181:29
Speaker A
help but daydream about taking a trip to Lova with Mias during their next vacation the two countries had once been at War but now the Border was open and relations were slowly improving though she knew the winter would be tough she
181:41
Speaker A
couldn't help but hope that next year they could make the journey she longed to visit Sienna and pay her respects at Uncle Bill's graveside where she could imagine him resting peacefully on the beautiful beaches Lea's heart skipped a

183:26
Speaker A
his packed schedule with ease he was quietly dozing off buried in the sheets as if he was carrying the weight of exhaustion on his shoulders Mark iers who had been pushing through the demanding schedule also became unusually quiet his usual chatter replaced with a
183:41
Speaker A
contemplative La the fresh Aroma of pine trees began to fill the air as the car slowly made its way down the secluded Road leading to the fief the rustling of leaves signaling the start of Arvis could also be heard Mark iers lost in
183:55
Speaker A
the Tranquil beauty of the landscape suddenly sat up straight in his seat almost at the same time the driver spotted a woman walking across the street Le live on her heart The Duchess with her son in her arms Mark iers
184:08
Speaker A
turned to wake his sleeping Master but quickly realized it was unnecessary the Duke had already opened his eyes his gaze fixed on the window where he saw his wife his face was adorned with a faint smile a sight that Mark iers knew
184:22
Speaker A
to be reserved for The Duchess alone without hesitation Mark I gestured for the driver to stop the car and the Duke stepped out leaving his jacket behind thank you for your hard work Mias said before adjusting his jacket and tie
184:36
Speaker A
making sure everything was in its place his smooth movements from buttoning his jacket to adjusting his cuings were effortless as flowing water I'll see you at the Mansion Mias said Softly As He turned to leave the moment Lea caught
184:50
Speaker A
sight of him she waved her hand and Felix In Her Arms mimicked her Mias laid his hands nonchalantly on his back and started to stroll towards his wife and son the automobile continued to go away in silence Leila's steps accelerated as
185:05
Speaker A
the car vanished from view she walked with the grace of a Feather even while carrying Felix who grew heavier every day methas halted in his tracks for a moment his seruan eyes captured a beautiful image of her walking down a
185:18
Speaker A
path past the flickering Shadows of the lovely trees and here she comes she was approaching him like the sound of an endless Green Wave the wind playing with her hair the sound of laughter and joy filled the dull air as she paused her
185:30
Speaker A
stride Mias caught off guard by her sudden stop watched as she chatted and laughed with their son before slowly put him down in the ground daddy Felix's shout Jarred the slumbering afternoon the child broke free from her grasp and
185:44
Speaker A
ran towards his father With Arms Wide Open his roomy sailor collar flapped like wings as he waddled Mias scooped up the young boy with a smile marveling at how much stronger and sure-footed he had become making it quite a distance
185:57
Speaker A
without tripping hello Daddy Felix grinned and waved at him then happily hugged his father's leg hello Maas smiled taking a glance at his child and picked him up Felix Leila joined in their Embrace with a face beaming with
186:12
Speaker A
happiness Mias reached out and took her hand together the three of them began walking hand in hand along the platinous trail basking in the late Summer Sun and each other's company like a shaft of sunshine breaking through the trees
186:25
Speaker A
Lea's voice glittered with joy as she recalled the events of the past week and the botney she learned today I'm so glad you came back early she said her eyes shining with happiness as she looked up at maias maias turned his head and
186:38
Speaker A
looked down at his wife standing next to him her gaze met his with a fiery intensity as she eagerly awaited his response I've been waiting for a long time she exclaimed her voice filled with longing you're going to use it as a
186:51
Speaker A
means of Desire mithas teased but Lila was undeterred yes she responded confidently that's not everything but that's true ears that were all crimson and hands that were all a flutter little bit of shyness that couldn't be hide not
187:05
Speaker A
even with a child's laughing was actually rather endearing the excitement bubbling within her was palpable and Mias couldn't help but feel swept up in it with a bold laugh she grabbed matias's hand and pulled him along the the platinous road exchanging silly
187:20
Speaker A
jokes and laughter as they walked side by side turning the once peaceful Road into a hubub as they approached the grand colorful Gates of Arvis Lea paused her expression growing serious I missed you she confessed her eyes shining with
187:34
Speaker A
emotion I keep thinking of you and the more I think about you the more I missed you so I've been waiting a long time she felt a little Hollow after realizing that it was much simpler than she had
187:45
Speaker A
expected to voice her mind and you a asked even though she already knew the answer did you miss me like a demanding baby all she wanted was to hear his answer Mias didn't need to say anything his actions spoke louder than words as
187:59
Speaker A
he pulled Lea into a tender kiss Lea accepted his answer she loved the sweetness and intimacy of their kiss the way their lips brushed and their breath mingled not even in her Wildest Dreams did she think she'd be able to share
188:12
Speaker A
this moment with this man daddy daddy Felix's unexpected heartbreaking cry broke the silence the child started whining just as their lips were about to touch again Dad Dad he was wriggling in Mias arms wanting his own kiss from his
188:28
Speaker A
father me too me too with a pout on his face he looked at his dad and then kissed him on the cheek good for you maty because your son loves you so much Lea looked on at the two men with a
188:40
Speaker A
warmth in her heart go and show him how much you love Felix was definitely a really smart kid given how well he grasped the meaning of that word laughing and filled with love Mias obliged planting a kiss on his son's
188:52
Speaker A
cheek Felix began to laugh and chatter excitedly as if he was happy with the love he received our next child will love you like Felix Lea declared her eyes locked onto maias I'm sure it is I can be sure together the three of them
189:08
Speaker A
walked through the gates of Arvis their hearts full of love hope and excitement for the future middle. middle do do middle. middle do the Duke's family left Arvis as the cool Winds of fall began to blow signaling the end of summer Felix
189:23
Speaker A
who had only been with the family for a short time had grown significantly and surprised the staff at the rat's Mansion Leila meanwhile had been working hard to prepare for the next semester of school and had learned how to swim she was
189:36
Speaker A
proud of her academic progress but was even more thrilled to be able to float in the water without fear I want to learn backstroke next summer one evening as she sat on the dock watching the sunset she expressed her desire I want
189:49
Speaker A
to be able to swim like you Mias who was with her only smiled in response but Lea felt her Pride hurt a little fine he said soft like a waterb bird's feather letun do it I'll teach you with just
190:03
Speaker A
that word Lea felt like she was living a happy summer again the question is when is the right time to tell him Lea sent a doubtful glance Maas way across the table she caught the attention of him who had just set down his glass of water
190:17
Speaker A
Mias was illuminated by a dry Ray of sunlight that peaked through the new drapes and twitched his brows as if he had something to say are you busy today Leila asked looking at matias's familiar face that had changed a bit but still
190:30
Speaker A
retained its familiar features she gently picked up her napkin maybe then would it be hard to have dinner together Lea asked well Mias paused for a moment lost in thought he then rang for a server and waited for them to come over
190:45
Speaker A
Lea held her napkin tightly as she waited for their conversation to end Leila do you mind if the meal is a little late mithas asked the server how late maybe around 9 Mias said all right I'll wait Lea readily agreed she
191:01
Speaker A
considered whether it would be better to talk now but decided it would be better to wait and make sure after finishing his meal Mias quickly left for work leaving Lea behind instead of tending to the Garden or reading as she usually did
191:15
Speaker A
Lea laid down on the long sofa in the drawing room and closed her eyes for a moment but when she woke up it was time for her to head off to school are you all right my lady The Nanny asked
191:26
Speaker A
anxiously as she entered the room with Felix are you feeling unwell no I'm not sick Leila replied giving Felix an awkward hug but these days you've been feeling tired and sleepy and the nanny's eyes grew wide with worry don't tell me
191:42
Speaker A
can I see Dr Feller this evening Leila asked shily patting Felix on the head of course my lady should we call him now the nanny's eyes were fixed on Leila's blushing cheeks Leila lost in thought for a moment shook her head I'll see him
191:58
Speaker A
in the evening after class Lea said school oh my lady are you going to school The Nanny exclaimed surprised but Lila simply nodded calmly her gentle smile hiding a determined glint in her eyes the nanny who knew Lea to be a
192:14
Speaker A
stubborn Duchess knew there was no changing her mind your not going to ride your bike are you the nanny asked noticing Lea's silver bicycle leaning against the mansion's flower bed Lea laughed and shook her head I won't ride
192:27
Speaker A
a bike then hurry up and get the car no I'll walk there it'll be a nice walk Lea said as she picked up her leather bag an old birthday present from her Uncle Bill and slung it over her shoulder the
192:40
Speaker A
nannies and Maids were left in shock and disbelief as they tried in vain to change Leila's mind but to no avail Lea finally managed to go to school only after reassuring the girls who followed her to the entrance of the Mansion oh
192:53
Speaker A
I'll tell the Duke myself after seeing Mr Feller Lea exclaimed turning around with a spring in her step the puzzled maid's faces soon transformed into Smiles mirroring leaone yes my lady they chorused in unison basking in the Autumn
193:08
Speaker A
Sun don't worry wek keep it a secret he duchess's determination and confidence left them in awe they agreed to keep her secret secret cry even better if you beg Side Story 17 the announcement of the Duchess of her
193:25
Speaker A
Hearts pregnancy swiftly circulated amongst the upper echelons of Carl Spar and rats while it's not unusual for a vibrant and fertile couple to expand their brood the tantalizing tidbit that the expectant Duchess is currently enrolled in college set tongues wagging
193:39
Speaker A
with fervor a child born of such Brilliance is sure to be exceptional Ellie aan her heart shared her viewpoint and Norma had a similar edit ude no matter what they thought Mias had already decided so there was no point in
193:52
Speaker A
arguing with him about it his ability to create a happy Union despite the apparent drawbacks of his previous marriage was actually a credit to his tenacity if you do choose to proceed give it your all during their recent
194:04
Speaker A
phone call Elise mentioned something unexpected before they hung up this means that as a member of the esteemed her heart family you must not allow anyone to disregard you is that clear Leila could now distinguish the intricacy and her mother and tone laws
194:18
Speaker A
despite her low voice she saw that when it was conveying sincere feelings it grew Kinder and more deliberate yes Mother Lea exclaimed with unbridled enthusiasm unaware of the fervor in her voice I will give it my all I promise to
194:33
Speaker A
do my very best El L side with a hint of concern wondering if Lea's exuberance was too unladylike but she refrained from voicing any complaints Leila was determined to keep her promise to her family and she would try her hardest to
194:47
Speaker A
do do so however there are certain things in life that even an unwavering will cannot conquer and Mourning sickness was undoubtedly one of them as the morning sickness resurfaced Leila found herself succumbing to exhaustion and sought refuge on the couch covering
195:02
Speaker A
herself with a throw blanket soon she drifted off into a deep Slumber when she eventually stirred from her sleep she noticed the fading sunlight filtering through the curtains and the comforting presence of maias by her side A radiant
195:15
Speaker A
smile illuminated her palet features as she realized she was cradled in his Embrace have you had anything to eat Mias asked Lila as their eyes locked he had asked the question with the regularity of a routine greeting ever
195:28
Speaker A
since the beginning of her morning sickness I managed to eat a bit today she replied gently touching her stomach Mias lifted his gaze and glanced the basket of peaches on the table another Peach he queried noting that their
195:41
Speaker A
bedroom had been perfumed with the sweet Aroma of the fruit ever since Lea became pregnant Lea had announced her pregnancy during the late dinner they shared one night her eyes sparkling with uncontainable excitement and anticipation as if she were divulging a
195:55
Speaker A
Secret Surprise Mias had to be cautious in concealing the fact that he already knew putting forth a concerted effort to keep his composure as Mias observed Le attempting to suppress what she wanted to divulge that morning an inkling of
196:08
Speaker A
apprehension stirred within him by the evening his intuition had been confirmed during a phone conversation with his physician Dr Feller I believe my wife may be pregnant mithas disclosed over the phone he requested an appointment with his physician and as he relayed his
196:25
Speaker A
suspicion the doctor remained silent for a prolonged moment did you already have an inkling Your Grace the doctor inquired his voice betraying a sense of indescribable awkwardness The Duchess wishes to inform you of the news in person so please maintain discretion
196:41
Speaker A
understood Mathias replied to the doctor his voice calm but tinged with embarrassment I'll Fain ignorance it wasn't difficult to comprehend Lea's desire for secrecy and so Maas took it upon himself to safeguard the information my wife had a rough time
196:57
Speaker A
with her first pregnancy as the preliminaries were finished Mias spoke calmly about the subject at hand his military wounds pale in comparison to the Recollections of those times when he was powerless to save ala who was 9 months pregnant I hope things go
197:12
Speaker A
smoothly this time Mias spoke in a soft voice that lacked its usual conviction I'll though I trust that with Dr feller's expertise any worries I had will be rendered meaningless the call Drew to a close with formalities exchanged but the weight of Mias request
197:27
Speaker A
lingered in the air please take good care of my wife he repeated a note of urgency in his voice after that the doctor routinely visited the mansion without requesting a visit to check the duchess's health they trusted Dr
197:40
Speaker A
feller's expertise and were comforted by the fact that Leila and the baby were healthy aside from the usual morning sickness but Maas couldn't shake off the feeling of anticipation and excitement as they headed back to the mansion that
197:52
Speaker A
night he knew the surprise that awaited him yet Lila seemed to be playing a game of cat and mouse with her words during dinner teasing him with her hints as the night grew longer matias's expectations only grew stronger fueling his eagerness
198:06
Speaker A
to finally hear the words he had been waiting for meias felt relieved at Lea's response but he couldn't shake off the feeling that he should have reacted better how does he feel obviously that was the simplest thing to answer he is
198:19
Speaker A
happy the Miracle of Life was growing inside the woman he loved it was also Lea's fondest wish he doubt Lea had anything she was more excited for they work hard at making child in actuality and naturally this would happen it was
198:34
Speaker A
predictable it wasn't until Lea's confession after dinner that the missing piece fell into place Mias was struck with a mix of emotions but Lea's joy and excitement were contagious can you give me a hug Lea asked by showing her arms
198:48
Speaker A
wide open please give me a hug her emerald eyes sparkled brightly filled with cautious expectations and tension for him hugging the attractive woman with all his strength wasn't difficult at all Maas gave Lea an unexpected gift that day a basket of luscious juicy
199:04
Speaker A
Peaches I want sweet and crunchy Peach that looked Flawless and pretty Lea said seriously staring at him who first struggled to understand the significance of her demand but as Lea described how crucial this we sweet fruit was dissatisfying her pregnancy cravings as
199:20
Speaker A
elusive as the wish was maias was willing to Grant it Lea's face beamed as she held a basket of peaches in her arms which was hardly a gift she carefully chose the best peaches for her beloved while maintaining a determined
199:33
Speaker A
expression in her eyes over time Maas who had been watching started laughing you can have them all to yourself Leila still Leila's serious expression remained unchanged as she extended a peach in each hand toward Mias which one do you think is the most beautiful Lea
199:51
Speaker A
claimed implausibly that in matias's opinion both peaches are identical you pick one for me I'm going to eat the prettiest one first Mias chuckled at Le's enthusiasm for peaches he could see the joy in her eyes as she carefully
200:05
Speaker A
inspected each one trying to find the perfect one Mias carefully examined the basket of peaches finally his eyes landed on a particularly vibrant and Luscious Peach on the left hand side of the basket he held it up to Lea with a
200:19
Speaker A
sense of Triumph as she gazed at the chosen Peach a mixture of emotions flickered across Lea's face Mias could sense her inner turmoil but he didn't cry instead he stood by her side offering silent support as she composed
200:33
Speaker A
herself soon enough Lea's laughter echoed through the room and she began to eat the peaches one by one with utmost care and reverence each bite seemed like a small ritual to Mias who remembered the sweet scent and sound of Lila
200:46
Speaker A
enjoying the the fruit on a previous occasion as he watched her Savor the peaches Mias couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion he knew that their child was growing inside Lea's belly nourished by the same sweetness and care
200:58
Speaker A
that she was now taking with each bite it was a moment he would never forget I ate peaches and I ate other things Lea spoke inaudibly as if in a dream and her voice was scarcely heard in a trans-like
201:11
Speaker A
state Mias continued to tenderly brush her head what else Mias leaned and with a curious expression his eyes fixed on her face a tiny chicken and a egg and a little bit of bread she murmured her words barely audible as she snuggled
201:26
Speaker A
closer to him Maas gazed down at his wife with a furrowed brow concern etched on his face isn't that food bad for you to eat when you're not feeling well he asked his voice laced with worry Lea's eyes widened with surprise as she looked
201:40
Speaker A
at him don't be quick to blame the servants for something I've already approved she said firmly I did my research and found out that a well-formed placenta can help alleviate morning sickness eating a lot of X and meat can also be beneficial for the
201:53
Speaker A
baby's development the thought of consuming it during BS of nausea doesn't sound appealing I need to focus on my studies and I can't afford to have this lingering pain distract me it's better to endure a shorter but more intense
202:06
Speaker A
period of pain than to have it drag on indefinitely Leila's voice was Resolute as she spoke her eyes fixed on Mias ah so it's not just some random idea you came up with Mias said teasingly with a mischievous giggle Leila propped herself
202:21
Speaker A
up on the pillows her eyes sparkling with Amusement well that conclusion is sensible isn't it however the glint in her eyes faded quickly as a wave of nausea washed over her once more the morning sickness had returned leaving
202:35
Speaker A
her looking pale and sickly matias's gaze softened as he looked down at Lea who was once again lying on his lap why don't you stay in bed Lea he suggested gently brushing his straight of hair from her forehead I'll be fine here
202:49
Speaker A
maybe I'll sleep here Lea shook her head stubbornly snuggling closer to him for some reason my morning sickness seems to worsen when I lie in bed maybe it's the angle or something what sets apart a sofa from a bed I'm not sure about that
203:04
Speaker A
but it just seems like that is the feeling Lea's words might have seemed illogical but mithas couldn't help but find her adorable as she spoke with a glint in her eyes I know it does seem a little implausible after closing
203:17
Speaker A
inspection Leila scrunched up her face and displeasure at her husband's strange approach to treating nausea by eating eggs and meat while avoiding sleeping on a bed because of discomfort unfortunately I'm powerless in this situation if morning sickness takes over
203:31
Speaker A
my ability to think logically goes out the window her voice trailed off as she admitted she squeezed her eyes shut tightly despite having much more to express maias placed a cold hand on her sweat dampened forehead and let out a
203:44
Speaker A
quiet exhale matthy could you read me a book Lea's eyes fluttered open after a prolonged period of rest and she addressed maias with a request her plea caused a creased a form on Mias forehead accentuating the worry lines at there
203:59
Speaker A
books maias echoed slightly puzzled Lea's eyes fixated on a book laid out on the table could you take a look at that book for me I haven't completed my test yet and it might help if you read it out
204:12
Speaker A
loud she gestured towards a paleontology book sitting adjacent to a basket of fresh peaches with a grin Mias opened the thick TB bearing the remnants of Lea's fingerprints as he began to speak his voice resonated with a soothing
204:26
Speaker A
quality delving into the intricate details of ancient life's Evolution the fragrance of the peaches mingled with the gentle Cadence of his voice permeating the Stillness of the night air Lea shut her eyes and listened intently the occasional Pang of nausea
204:40
Speaker A
quelled by the pleasant atmosphere around her it turned out to be a rather tranquil evening middle. col middle do do middle.on middle dot as the winter break Drew near Le on her heart's reputation had taken a nose dive earning
204:55
Speaker A
her a notorious status The Duchess who had been held in high regard by her peers in the previous semester was now viewed with a mixture of fear and disdain as her visibly pregnant form made an appearance in the classroom yet
205:08
Speaker A
as Leila stood before a poster her swollen belly proudly displayed her face radiated with a bright Aura of contentment undaunted by the snide remark and sarcastic congratulations thrown her way her joyous smile spoke volumes about her unshakable spirit
205:23
Speaker A
defying the notion that she was as crazy as her husband you're not your average kid are you in Le Avon her heart's voice crackled over the phone as she processed the news yet there was a hint of pride
205:34
Speaker A
in her voice as she praised Leila you've done an outstanding job my dear as she bid her farewell her tone softened conveying a deep affection for her unconventional Offspring Lea replayed the brief conversation in her mind relishing the joy it had brought her and
205:50
Speaker A
each time she did she felt a fluttering sensation in her stomach as if the child within was also sharing in her happiness maty quick come here Lea exclaimed sensing the tiny life within her stir she longed for Mias to share in the
206:05
Speaker A
moment with her but he remained as composed as ever it's moving can't you feel it Lea urged pulling his hand to her abdomen where the baby was kicking and squirming almost as if it was eager to make its presence known Maas acqu
206:19
Speaker A
ased to his wife's request staying by her side as she excitedly shared the movements of their unborn child although it wasn't their first pregnancy there was still a sense of wonder and joy in seeing their child come to life within
206:31
Speaker A
her Lea finally released his hands once the baby settled down he remained by her side gazing at her lying in bed the flickering flames of the fireplace danced across her body casting Shadows that accentuated her curb let me take
206:45
Speaker A
care of you meth Mias offered his hand tenderly holding a towel as he approached her chest Lila hesitated at first but then relaxed as Mias gently wiped her body his touch conveying his love and care for her Lea's initial
206:58
Speaker A
hesitation gave way to A Rush of excitement as Maas towel touched her skin sending shivers down her spine the warmth of the towel coupled with The Tender Touch of her husband ignited a fire within her causing her heartbeat to
207:11
Speaker A
Quicken with each passing moment Mias held back until Ila's cheeks were flushed with desire his gaze lingered on her body now carrying their child giving him a sense of pleasure unlike any before it was a contented feeling a
207:24
Speaker A
sense of fulfillment that left Lea feeling drowsy yet satisfied as they lay in bed intertwined and holding each other close Lea buried her face in the crook of his neck relishing the comfort of his embrace the once unfamiliar
207:37
Speaker A
experience of sleeping in each other's arms had become a nightly ritual bringing them closer together as they awaited the arrival of their child Leela's voice trailed off into the quiet darkness of the room her worries about her changing body weighing heavily on
207:51
Speaker A
her mind soon I'll resemble a penguin she whispered softly almost to herself maybe I won't look pretty anymore but can you still tell me that I'm pretty her question hung in the air seeking reassurance matias's gentle lips on her
208:06
Speaker A
forehead was comforting as he listened to her concerns without hesitation he answered her unspoken plea I will his voice was filled with love and tenderness as he held her close promis proing to shower her with compliments as much as she needed I'll tell you're
208:20
Speaker A
pretty as many times as you want to hear it Lea cry even better if you beg Side Story 18 end with the arrival of spring a new her heart emerged into the world the sun Shone brightly on that afternoon
208:35
Speaker A
casting a warm glow on the blooming buds of the flower tree in a hush tone and with swift steps the hospital staff approached and shared the news a baby has been born to The Duchess and they are preparing to introduce the newborn
208:46
Speaker A
to you shortly Maas gently placed his cup down on the table and turned his head towards the door as the formal message of congratulations from the staff came to a close a team of medical professionals led by none other than Dr
208:59
Speaker A
Feller Maas personal physician entered the room they provided updates on the health and well-being of both mother and child and bid their congratulations before departing with beaming Smiles the VIP room reserved exclusively for the Duke's family was enveloped in a Serene
209:15
Speaker A
Stillness Mias sat in contemplative silence his gaze fixed upon the blossoming branches of the flower tree swaying outside the window the two mistresses of Arvis sat across from him observing his wordless demeanor with a quiet understanding meanwhile Felix who
209:31
Speaker A
had eagerly awaited the arrival of his new sibling had succumbed to Slumber after an arduous wait as the Golden Light of spring flooded into the VIP room a gentle voice pierced the Serene Stillness congratulations mithas for now you have been blessed with the gift of
209:46
Speaker A
two children Norma whispered her voice carrying a sense of warm familiarity that only a grandmother could impart arriving at the hospital straight from the company Maas cut an impeccable figure the very epitome of a Duke her heart his expression and demeanor were
210:02
Speaker A
equally unblemished leaving little indication that he was a man consumed with worry upon hearing the news of his beloved wife's child birth the two duchesses apprehensive that Maas might display any Unbecoming behavior that would betray his Royal station exchanged
210:16
Speaker A
embarrassed glances that could not have been more Divergent in nature Thank you Grandma and mother Maas turned his gaze to his grandmother and mother with a Serene countenance and spoke in a measured tone his lips curled up into a
210:29
Speaker A
gentle smile one that was no different from his usual expression of composed Elegance as they engaged in some ceremonial Small Talk the attendant made a reappearance interrupting their conversation with news that the hospital room had been thoroughly cleaned and was
210:43
Speaker A
now ready for their use we shall Venture forth as a family once Felix awakens so you go to Lea first Elis spoke to Mias as she lovingly patted her slumbering grandson's head cradled securely In Her Arms while she was uncertain of Mias
210:58
Speaker A
thoughts on the matter she felt that it was only fitting for Lila to be greeted first by her husband Mias Rose from his seat offering a Curt KN of acknowledgement before departing the VIP room as he smoothed out the fabric of
211:11
Speaker A
his clothes the manner in which he exited seemed almost callous and detached Ellie aan her heart watching her son's departure with a furrowed brow could not help but feel a Pang of disappointment I carried him in my Heart
211:23
Speaker A
All These Years yet I hardly recognize the man before me she lamented her gaze turning to Norma with a questioning glint in her eye how can he be so IND different on a day like this after what he had done for his wife in the waning
211:36
Speaker A
days of the previous month Mias revealed his bold plan to relocate the final resting place of Bill Remer situated in Lova to the town of berg however in order order to expedite his plan he required the full cooperation of loveed
211:50
Speaker A
his royal family although Ellie Z on her heart raised objections Norma being the wise matriarch that she is ultimately acquiesced to her grandson's wishes she understood All Too Well the profound sorrow of a child separated from their parents graves in a distant land Beyond
212:05
Speaker A
The Border what do you mean by parents Ellie Z on her heart inquired pondering the true origins of the Duchess of her heart dis maias wanted to bracingly proclaim the Empire that his wife is a Gardener's daughter Ellie Aon her heart
212:19
Speaker A
recoiled at the thought yet found herself unable to resist until The Bitter End tormented by the idea for days on end she eventually relented albeit with a caveat she would never permit a gardener to be laid to rest in

Speaker A
family Leila pondered for a while and eventually unraveled the enigmatic query the herart family portraits bore a striking resemblance to maias and their children El paused and gazed at her daughter-in-law with admiration it's a gene that's hard to beat she said with a
219:34
Speaker A
serious tone having the same hair color as you is like a victory as she spoke she realized that the only thing Leila had passed down to Leah was the color of her hair Felix Leah let's pay our respects to your grandfather Lea said

her voice now somber as she led them towards Uncle Bill's Tombstone as they approached Lea's eyes grew heavy with emotion as she gazed upon Leah's little white shoes Grandpa I'll be right back Felix mustered up his courage and

by the sudden outburst and turned their heads in Surprise as the driver opened the back door maias emerged fulfilling his promise to take the children out on a boat Leila quickly wiped the blades of grass from her fingers with a hastily
223:03

223:43

was that they were safe and happy looking at Leah one day for a moment Lea's words from a long ago conversation flitted through his mind but instead of admitting that he had shared her wish he simply smiled to himself in truth Maas
223:57
Speaker A
had always harbored a secret desire for a daughter who resembled Leila Leila wished for it and it was agreed that all men feel who love their wife but as he held her in his arms watching her slip into a peaceful Slumber his heart
224:10
