"Ale is here to ask Elisaria to accompany him to the banquet."
The Marchioness informed her husband.
"Really? That sounds wonderful."
He answered back, pleased.
"But.. as you know... She is.."
The Marchioness hesitated to bring out the topic of her practice, even when she knew that everyone else was aware of it.
The Marquis understood her gesture, and fell deep into thoughts for a moment.
"It's alright. Her 'health' comes first. I do not wish to bother her when she's busy and probably overworking herself."
Ale tried to ease their worries with his words, making the banquet sound like no big deal.
The Marquis and Marchioness looked at each other with a troubled expression but nonetheless agreed. Afterall, to them as well, their daughters safety came first.
Bothering her when she was in the middle of something so important was not only risky but also something only a fool would do.
