"T-they are here?!" Odette was already on the brink of tears. Her eyes were beginning to water.
[Does this mean my siblings are finally free from the Marquess?!]
"Yes."
"Would you like to see them?" Arabella smiled. Odette clearly treasured her siblings very much.
[Am I dreaming?]
Odette gulped nervously thinking it was too good to be true. She hesitated for a bit but she soon looked eager and said, "Y-yes, Your Majesty."
"We are still waiting for your older brothers to arrive. But your younger siblings are safe and sound here," Arabella walked to the balcony.
From there, she saw three young ladies and one boy in the garden below.
One of the ladies who seemed to be just a year or two younger than Odette was busy reading books at the gazebo.
Meanwhile, the two youngest, who seemed five and seven years old played around the garden as one of their elder sisters watched over them.
Arabella felt warmth in her chest as she watched the children play. But likewise, her heart ached.
