Chương 574: Troubles of Youth

Yarin's POV:

I was glad that no one noticed me. Heller was always unwilling to look at me directly. As for Lily, she seemed to be in a daze, but I somehow felt that she was very sad. There seemed to be no place for her in the bustling hall. She was embarrassed and out of place, but she could do nothing.

I looked at the people exchanging greetings, then at Lily, who was drifting away from the crowd. I quietly tugged at her cloak.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" I whispered. "I had a little too much to eat this morning. I want to ease my digestion a little."

Lily looked at me for a few seconds and nodded in agreement.

The morning wind was still a little cold, and music and laughter could be heard from the commercial street not far away. The garden of the manor was very large. Lily walked in front, and I followed beside her. We didn't say a word.
