Chapter 34: Ch 34 ~ Alexander's Departure

Eleanora's POV~

After their long conversation, Duke Hertz and Marquis Rosalie left our house.

I looked up at my father with mixed feelings as he carried me to my room after dinner.

He tucked me in my bed gently and when I saw him pulling the blanket over me, my heart began to pound nervously.

"Good night, my princess."

I got up unconsciously and grabbed his sleeves when he was about to leave after saying goodbye.

"Elle?"

He called me with a confused look as I understood how embarrassing my actions were.

"Oh, pardon me. I just did that unconsciously."

I blurted out nervously and he slowly smiled after looking at me with a confused expression.

"Do you want to say something, Elle?"

He asked and I shook my head.

"When are you leaving, Papa?"

"In a day or two... There will be some knights of my squadron and the maids are here to take care of you."

He replied and I gave him a nervous smile.
