Dianne did not speak. All she did was stare at Cleo.Cleo was starting to sweat from the intensity of her gaze.He was beginning to wonder if Dianne did not hear him and was about to repeat the question when Dianne finally spoke.“Cecil told me you were going to get married today. Why are you in Vinland? Why isn’t the groom at his wedding?”She spoke in a relatively calm manner, but it still affected Cleo significantly.Put under the intent focus of her interrogation, his sense of reason suddenly came back to him.“The wedding is canceled.”“Why was it canceled? Was it so you could come to see Cecil? Does your father know about this?”Dianne did not give him any breathing room and barraged him with her questions. Cleo felt like he was getting pummeled with the constant attacks.It was only after a few minutes of silence that he finally strained a reply."I canceled it before I came here. It has nothing to do with Cecil. I was just worried about her being all alone and figured

She could not explain why she felt that way.It was the same kind of feeling she had when she was caught stealing her mother’s necklace and then gave it to a classmate in the past.Was the source of it a kind of reverence for the elders?Now that they were right in front of each other, she could no longer pretend that she had not noticed him. She greeted him politely.“What brings you here, Uncle Cleo?”Cleo felt another stab of pain in his heart when he noticed the way she was avoiding his eyes.Despite that, he forced himself to suppress the raging emotions and remain as calm as he could.“I came to see the opening ceremony.”Cecil nodded
