The Doomed And Blessed, 13th Young Miss Chapter 19

CHAPTER 19

Matthew found her absolutely charming, he even felt that it was his fault for not asking the question the right way. Having her this way, he wanted to continue to talk all night, seeing her silly answers to every question he could come up with…But, she was a lady after all, she really did need to go home, before a rumour could be spread about her being out all night.

His protectiveness over her reputation, made him serious again, “Do you live in an estate, Sahara?”

“Mmm, Rolland…Roll…and…”

I couldn’t stay awake any longer, putting my head against the wall and shutting my eyes.

“Ro…Rolland?” Matthew was quite surprised! That was the Right Minister’s estate!

Seeing the sleeping la.s.s before him, Matthew sighed and told the person in front where to go.

As he watched the la.s.s sleep, he thought about the young ladies that he knew of in the Rolland Estate.

Sahara…Sahara…

Matthew furrowed his eyebrows, he could not recollect any kind of information about this young la.s.s…

It wasn’t strange that he didn’t know, because the Right Minister wasn’t someone he was worried about, not as much as…

Nonetheless, he was upset he didn’t know who this girl was…

When they finally arrived at the Rolland Estate, he found people running around so madly, that some got into each other’s way…

Picking up the small bundle of joy, he exited the carriage, with her in his arms like a princess.

Seeing someone with the young miss in a man’s arms, a maidservant yelled towards the second young master’s direction, that Sahara had been found.

Talon rushed towards the entrance, to find something utterly surprising.

Not only was his daughter being carried, but the person carrying his daughter…

“Your…Your Highness!” Bowing in respect, Talon tried not to show his surprise.

“You may rise.”

Looking up at the Second Prince, Talon tried to think of what to say, but found himself speechless.

“Your Highness, how splendid! You have found our beloved Sahara! Much thanks, much thanks!”

Talon turned towards his father and sighed. His father had found out about Sahara’s vanishing, by accident, but afterwards a lot more people searched for her, so Talon wasn’t sure if he was pleased or not.

“She is safe. I believe nothing bad had happened to her. It was just a coincidence that this Prince found her.”

“Very good! She is safe! Talon, send her to bed and make sure this never happens again! Her safety is of most importance!”

The Right Minister’s words were light heartened, but Talon knew they were stern. But, he agreed to them happily nonetheless. He cared deeply for this young girl and naturally wanted her to be safe.

When Talon went to take his daughter though, the stare he received from the Prince made him shutter.

After he stopped dead in his tracks, the Prince’s voice sounded, “I hope to a.s.sume that this child is being well taken care of!”

“Yes, Yes, of course, Your Highness! She is a most beloved daughter of mine!”

“We do dote on Sahara very much, Your Highness. We treat her very well!” Said the Right Minister, backing his son.

“…And yet, this happens?”

Both father and son were shocked into silence.

How could I say that she ran away after I yelled and accused her?

Talon was severely silent, so his father said, “Just a misunderstanding, Your Highness. She is young and misunderstood.”

“…Misunderstood?”

The Prince’s voice and protective stance, made them worry.

Why is he so protective?

Why does he care so much?

It really was quite a spectacle event to see the Prince finally care for another female, it has been two years since…

Before they questioned things further, the Prince carefully gave the la.s.s to her father and walked away, without another word.

Both father and son stared at each other, wondering if they should worry if this matter would become known outside. They both knew that a girl’s reputation could spiral downwards and be absolutely ruined if the knowledge becomes known that she had been out for this long at night.

“Keep watch on her! She is not to run off ever again!” The Right Minister said storming off, leaving Talon looking down at the sleeping child in his arms.

He was glad that she was back and safe…But also angry with her, because of the turn of events.
