"Mmm."

Sophie did not have much of an opinion regarding those details.

It doesn't matter who becomes our groomsmen and bridesmaids as long as they are all good

friends of ours.

“Georgina would like to be a bridesmaid as well,” Arius chimed in when he noticed that she was too

shy to speak up.

"What's the meaning of this, Arius? What about me?” I don't care what happens, I will be a

bridesmaid!

“It's not like there can only be one groomsman or bridesmaid,” Sarah said instinctively upon

noticing their agitation. “We can simply have several more of each.”

“That's right. We'll have three groomsmen and three bridesmaids.” Tristan thought it was a lucky

number.

He never used to believe in luck.

After meeting Sophie, however, he began to wonder if there was some truth to those superstitions.

The girls chatted in the living room while the men stepped outside for a cigarette.

"Congratulations, Sophie. Things are looking great for you,” Georgina gushed.

All of them knew what kind of a person Sophie was.

She might seem cold and unfeeling to somebody who did not know her.

With the passage of time, however, one would find her to be a true friend indeed.

That was why her friends were willing to go to the ends of the earth for her.

“You will find happiness with Arius too, Georgina. This is how he has always been. He might have

hurt you before, but he will treasure you now that he’s sure you are the one.”

Arius had always looked out for Sophie, and she wanted him to find happiness.

“I do feel lucky being with him.”

I don't wish for much. All I want is to be with Arius.

Sarah and Ysabelle did not speak. The latter, especially, was particularly quiet. I, on the other hand,

may remain single for the rest of my life. Nobody else would tolerate me.

“What's the matter? Penny for your thoughts?” Sarah saw through Ysabelle's thoughts at once.

Things were going well with Felix, weren't they? Why did it have to end up this way? "Have you

heard, Ysabelle?"

“What?”

Ysabelle did not look interested in anything at the moment.

“Felix might be going to Fandar.” Sarah had heard it from Tristan. It was strange as Felix was the one

who made the request.

There were indeed matters at Fandar to be taken care of, so either he or Charles had to be there.

Moreover, it was not a pleasant task.

That was the reason for Charles’ reluctance to take the job, yet Felix had volunteered to do it.

Ysabelle took a sip of wine. “Oh? Where he chooses to go is his business. How is it any of mine?”

I'm just not in the habit of realizing he's no longer by my side, that's all. There is no other reason. A

habit is something frightening indeed. However, no matter how frightening it may seem, I will

eventually get used to something else.

“Fandar is quite dangerous. You two should talk things out if there is anything you want to say to

each other before he leaves.”

Who knows if there might be a chance to salvage the relationship?

"Oh, come on, Aunt Sarah. Don't frighten me. Though I've never been there, I know Felix can take

care of the task and handle himself."

Ysabelle was a little restless, so she rose to her feet and walked to the French windows.

Noticing her despondency, Sophie followed her.

“It doesn’t matter whether or not you decide to get back together, you should talk things out lest

there are any misunderstandings between the two of you.

Ysabelle took a deep breath.

“l know.”

At that exact moment, Felix came to see Tristan, possibly for some matters concerning his trip to

Fandar.

Sarah opened the door and saw him enter with some documents in hand.

“Have you decided to go there?”

Fandar was not a good place to be. With its frequent wars, nobody knew what would happen the

following day.

Felix nodded.

“They need someone there. Besides, I have nothing much going on of late, so I thought I would be

of help.

I will go crazy if I remain here. It's not a nice feeling to have at all. Hence, it's best to just leave this

place.

“Then you should talk to Ysabelle. I'd already put in a word for you.”

“I will. Let me speak to Tristan first.” Instead of going to see Ysabelle, Felix went directly to Tristan.

Since she wanted to break up, we'll have a temporary break. It'll only make her more frustrated if

this goes on. It is never my intention to upset her.

Ysabelle bit her lower lip as she watched Felix go upstairs without so much as a glance at her. Isn't

this what I wanted?

“I'm going home.” Suddenly, she did not wish to stay there another second longer. She wanted to

be alone

“Leave with me in a while. I don't feel good letting you go home on your own, seeing as you have

had some wine.”"

Sarah did not agree.

What is it that cannot be discussed? This isn't helping the situation!

"What are you doing, Aunt Sarah? I can go home on my own. Don't worry about me.”

"Since you were the one who wanted to end things, Ysabelle, what are you afraid of?” Sarah said

pointedly.

"What do you mean, Aunt Sarah? Who says I'm afraid? I'm not afraid of anything. What do I have to

be afraid of?” The last two sentences sounded more like she was reassuring herself.

Sophie grabbed her shoulder.

That's right. You are not afraid of anything. We're here for you. What do you have to fear? As long

as we are around, nobody will hurt you.”

"Actually, Felix never hurt me.”

Sarah and Sophie exchanged a glance.

This girl! What's the matter with her? Despite being protective of Feliz, she still insists on breaking

up. Isn't she asking for it? Why is she being so cruel to herself? There's no need at all for that!

Tristan glanced at the folder Felix was holding as soon as the latter appeared. “Have you made up

your mind?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.

Yes."

There is no need to beat around the bush between sworn brothers.

“All right. Go, then. Bertram will be there to help you.”

The situation in Fandar is indeed a prickly one. That is why out of the four of them, one must go.

Initially, Tristan had wanted to personally go as he would never delegate dangerous missions like

that to his men.

Well, seeing that Felix insisted on going. I will respect his decision.

“Is this because of Ysabelle? Have you decided to take a break?”

“Not entirely. Since there are matters in Fandar to be taken care of, somebody has to be there to

settle them. I think I am capable enough to handle with it.”

Having been by Mr. Tristan’s side long enough, I now have the ability to deal with problems like this.

“Very well. Let me know immediately if you run into something you couldn't handle. I can fly over

any time.”

There's nothing much to be said amongst brothers. A show of support is all that matters.
