บท 70: Reluctance

Austria, 15th January 1797

Olivia looked at the blonde boy in front of her. Somehow, his words made her feel safer. His words gave off some security that even many adults couldn't do.

Olivia then smiled. "Thank you, Lukas," she said.

Lukas suddenly tilted his head. "Oh, before you leave, please give me back the letter. I guess it'd be better if I talked about this to my father in a casual way," he said as he stretched his arm.

Olivia nodded her head. "Very well," she said.

Olivia handed the letter back to Lukas, and the blonde boy nodded his head in appreciation.

When Olivia turned to leave the room, Lukas called her. "Olivia," the blonde boy said softly.

Olivia turned back to look at Lukas. "Yes?" she asked.

Lukas widened his smile. "Thank you for trusting me. Feels good not to be seen as just a child sometimes," he said.

Olivia smiled. "You deserve it," she said. After that, Olivia left Lukas's room.
