"it's okay. Remove the parasol."

"It's okay, what's okay? Don't be stubborn and let's go in."

"It's really okay. Be patient."

Caleb, who was about to take him in, stopped when he saw Evelynn's face, which was wet with emotion.

"... ... Are you really okay? does not it hurt?"

Evelynn nodded her head slightly.

"Then why are you crying?"

"glad. because I like it so much."

Tears continued to flow down her brightly smiling face.

It was tears that resembled fox rain on a clear day.

The power released from Caleb's hand, and the parasol that had been interfering with the sunlight and Evelynn tilted down.

Caleb's face, which had been standing stunned, was gradually dyed with joy.

"Evelynn!"

Then an urgent cry was heard along with the sound of horseshoes.

Evelynn and Caleb's heads naturally turned to the direction of the sound.

There was a carriage with the double swords crest engraved on it.

Through the wide open window, the hardened Duke Peyton's face could be seen.

He opened the door before the carriage had even stopped and ran to Evelynn.

Blood disappeared from the peacock's face as soon as he saw him wet with tears.

"Let's go inside."

He wrapped his arms around Evelynn's shoulders and looked around quickly.

Adviser Peron, who got down just in time, took out the parasol Caleb was holding and unfolded it.

The Duke did not ask Evelynn why she was crying or what glasses she was wearing.

Also, he did not reproach for coming to the fairgrounds.

He was only leading Evelynn with a heavy face.

"father."

It was Evelynn's small call that stopped the Duke's hasty steps.

Before asking why, Peyton took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her tears away.

Evelynn gently grabbed her dry, aged hand.

"Father, I am fine. It doesn't hurt as much as it used to."

The Duke, who could not understand the meaning of the words, stared at Evelynn silently.

"It's not completely better, but I think I can do some outdoor activities now."

Then, the purple eyes fluttered wildly at the next words.

"... ... What does that mean?"

"look. Even when you are standing in the sun like this, you keep your eyes open."

A bright smile spread like fresh flower buds bursting on his face, which had only been dark since he got the disease.

Duke Peyton's heart drenched at Evelynn's laugh, which he had not seen in a long time.

"... ... Really?"

"Yes."

The duke's face collapsed at once in a tone filled with conviction.

"Thank you thank you."

The relief he spit out while holding Evelynn could tell how much he had been choking his heart.
