"It was easier than i have thought. i think two more days and we will be able to reveal the truth!"
"Shall i go and take the letters from lady Olivia too?" Leo raised a brow at his aide.
"Shouldn't you at least try to hide your emotions while asking for help?" but instead of feeling embarrassed, Arden looked at Leo with a self righteous look on his face.
"Why? You already have a wife and now you are even planning to have a baby while I am not able to get the acceptance yet!
And it is all because of you. If you would have told the truth to me, then I would not have accused her. Now it is only right that you will support me and help me in persuading her."
"Are you forgetting who is the master here, Arden?" he demanded only to get a look of aggrieve from him. He was looking at Leo as if Leo had given him a death sentence.
There was no fear, only blaming looks that created a frown on the face of Leo.
"Master if you continue to bully me then I will ask sir Reynold to take my place for the time being.
It would also be nice for the lady to have a company she liked." Leo passed a cold and murderous glance to the man who was playing tricks with him.
"Tsk! Go and bring the letters. Do not use your mind where it is not needed!" With a glee on his face, Arden nodded his head as he walked out of the dark room where the girl was still locked up.
This was the last turn, they had already gathered the names of all the allies of Edward through these letters. And once they all would be punished, the peace would return.
He climbed his horse and rode it as fast as he could and reached their palace when the door was blocked by Olivia's mother this time.
"Madame, it is my honor to meet you again." he bowed his head politely but her face only turned colder.
"Have you forgotten that your master had accused my daughter of kidnapping his bride?
We are already facing a lot of troubles due to the Thawyne family. I did not want to entangle my daughter more into your mess. So, leave before I take action against you!" he bowed his head with a tinge of guilt on his face but did not leave from there.
"Did you not hear me? I am only considering it because of the time you have helped my daughter in the past or I would have already called the guards and thrown you out of the palace!
So just leave!" her voice was colder this time without a hint of warmth he was familiar with but he did not move even an inch.
"I understand that you are worried about your daughter, madam, but I am here only to prove her innocence and find the real culprit.
The lady had a few letters that could solve the whole matter.
If you did not want me to meet her, you can go and bring the letters. If you are still suspicious you can even read them but i can not leave without them!" she narrowed her eyes at the man but he continued to stand there with a face saying i would not leave without letters.
"Tsk! Go and ask Olivia to come here with the letters, the knight is asking for!" the maid bowed her head and scurried away from the room.
"Why are you still supporting Thawyenes? Do you think my daughter is in the wrong?'' Arden gulped as the scene where he had confronted Olivia flashed past his eyes.
If he would say that he did not blame Olivia then it would be a lie. But if he would say that he believed in her innocence then it would be a lie too and would create misunderstandings.
"I assure that I would prove she is innocent to the world and would bring her honor back but if I would say that I have never doubted her then it would be a lie, my lady.
I apologize for being incompetent." without a second thought, he kneeled in front of the woman, surprising her.
Arden was a count and noble and noble never kneeled in front of any other noble except their master.
Her eyes widened but then it narrowed in the next second,
"And here I thought that you love my daughter!" a look of astonishment fielded his face which slowly turned redder like a young maiden but he nodded without any hesitation.
"And you still did not support her!" she sneered as she looked at the man who still dared to profess his love for her daughter when he had mistreated her.
"Yes, and I assure you that I will be the only one who will marry her and give you grandchildren. So, do take care of me in the future mother in law!" her eyes widened with shock when she saw the proud smirk forming on the face of the man who was still on his knees.
She did not know whether to laugh and pat his shoulders or throw him into the prison for his preposterous behavior.
"Would you please stop that? Stand properly and stop spouting nonsense or i would throw you in front of the beasts.'' Before she could do any of the two, Olivia entered the room and hollered at him as she threw all the letters on his face.
If it would have been anyone else, he would have felt insulted, but he had already decided. No matter how much she would try to throw him away, he would cling to her until she would be addicted to him.
"Thank you for the letters, my lady!" With a wide grin on his face he picked up all the letters and then stared at her mother who nodded her head and he stood up.
"If there is nothing else, I am leaving!"
