"Are you guys ready?" Asks the Archduke, sternly.

All the Knights have gathered in the site as the Grand Duke stands in the center podium. 

"Your Excellency," One of the Knights comes to call for his attention and the Archduke turns his head to face the Knight.

When he is about to land his vision to the Knight, he catches a glimpse at the Lady, standing next to the Knight. 

"What are you doing here?" Raising his brow in concern, Archduke Ridge's heart begins to raise.

"I come to see you. You were gone when I opened my eyes, so I got scared the hell out to search for you," The Lady replies as her lips turn downwards.
