Richard smiled.
A full smile he rarely shows.
"I will come back. I will surely come back. So please wait for me here."
However, this part is also difficult for him.
To ask her to wait for him is the same thing he told his family before their departure to face the very first demon they had faced.
In the end…
"Then come back. Come back to me and to this place. This is your home, remember that. You have a home to return to."
Richard blinked before nodding his head, "Yes, I have a home to return to."
He moved closer and placed a kiss on her forehead, "And when I return. I will speak with the duke."
Florence bit her lower lip, "You have a promise to keep."
After that, she runs back inside their mansion.
Richard watched her departing figure. He wanted to reach out but stopped himself from doing so.
"You made the right choice."
