"Where did you get that information from?"
Ralph asked getting closer to Elle's face as he tilted his head.
"It was written all over your face today."
Ralph smiled, now they were inches from each others' faces.
"Maybe because she was a little boring reading books all day?"
He answered in a heartbeat.
"You clearly looked uncomfortable when you came..."
He thought about it and spoke, "Maybe it was because of the unwelcoming looks from the servants in this mansion."
Elle's ears began to flush a pink rose colour.
"What other assumptions do you have?"
He smiled asking her that question.
"You made young miss come to you, that is very disrespectful behavior towards young miss."
Ralph sighed and stepped away from her face, "Maybe because...they wouldn't let me in?"
Elle's eyes widened, "I can't help to think that I misunderstood you."
"No worries, a lot of people do that, they will just need to get used to me."
He flashed a bright smile.
Elle was a little embarrassed, her face was red.
"Why is everyone in this mansion treating me so coldly though?"
Ralph asked Elle with a determined face that wanted answers.
"The Grand Duke never cared about anyone in this mansion, especially his own daughter."
Elle clenched her jaw.
"Have you heard of the story of the neglected daughter of the Grand Duke?"
Ralph shook his head.
Elle was more and more surprised about Ralph.
Everyone knows about the mistreatment of Irene, but Ralph seems so clueless.
"I am not much of a talker in the main mansion, I only train..."
Elle nodded her head, "Let's sit"
They sat on a bench and Elle talked about the life of Irene Garcia.
"So that is it?"
Ralph looked at Elle, he didn't seem to have much reaction.
"Mistreatment due to the death of the past Lady?"
Elle nodded her head.
He smiled, "I see what you are so worried about."
"Do not worry, I will never hate someone without a reason."
Elle was relieved to hear that, but the next sentence he said...caught Elle off guard.
"But, I will never hate the Grand Duke."
Elle stopped for a minute, "Why?"
"To me, he is my savior."
Elle was in shock to hear someone calling, the Grand Duke a savior.
Ralph chuckled at Elle's reaction to his sentence.
"You will find out when you get closer to me."
Ralph smirked.
"Why would I want to develop a relationship with you?"
Elle rolled her eyes.
"Oh, so you want a relationship?"
