"I'm going to the town adjacent to the capital, Charlotte. I will return in the evening," Édouard said. He didn't want her to ask more questions since he wished not to lie more to her.

"No, I'll be traveling with Ramiro this time. Rainard needs to concentrate on his own life; there's something troubling him," Édouard confessed and proceeded to reveal Rainard's unrequited love for Tove and the challenges it brought.
