~After noon, after Aria departs for her home.

Garfield Gray entered the office of Duke.

"Captain Gray! So do you have any explanation for me?"

Duke was asking questions related to the morning incident where Hunter collapsed due to exhaustion.

"Yes. Duke! This . Morning lord Hunter came to the training grounds. He asked me to train him personally but I refused to do so at your command. But he decided to Run on his own."

" And you let him run. You didn't even try to stop him."

"My lord! I thought that he would give up on his first round. But…."

"But?"

"But he kept on running. Then he completes his first round, and then second and then third and I thought this would be the right time to stop him, but I saw the determination in his eyes".

He pauses before continuing speaking.

"So you thought he could be the next Jacob of our family."

"Yes my lord. Even though he completed his fifth round. He did it without any rest. My lord! Please can I train Lord Hunter. If I discovered he doesn't have any talent for it. I will stop his training myself."

" FINE. You can do whatever you want."

Garfield Gray, Even though he is not the strongest man around here. He has one thing. His capability to judge a person's potential. He has those blessed eyes.

Hunter! What happened to you?

The Duke stood beside the window where he saw Diana and Jacob leaving for the Royal palace.

~Diana and Jacob while riding the carriage on the way to the royal palace.

" I can't believe it. It really seems Hunter is trying to woo that girl, heh. He even visited her first in the morning."

"Well what can you say? Even a dickhead can love someone."

"Sis, you shouldn't use those words as you will be the future Crown princess. You should mind your words."

"Shut up. I don't want to hear anything from you."

" So that girl has some kind of blessings also. That's how they were able to perform right."

~last night's family dinner. After Hunter and Aria left.

" So Diana what they said was true or a lie"

"The thing related to the Ball party was a lie and the morning disappearance is the truth."

"Wow, that boy really visited her fiance Early in the morning."

"Well I guess he was impressed by her dance skills. We all know Hunter didn't learn how to dance."

"Hmm…. That could be the case. Very well. Diana, you should rest. It isn't good for your skin."

"Mother, you won't ask me to sleep." Jacob questioned when suddenly the Duchess stood up and left.

"Wow Mother didn't even reply to you. Hehehe." Diana teased

"Haaaa… fine. I am also leaving." Jacob annoyed Left the room.

'What are you thinking Hunter? Why did you make an innocent child lie? '

' Well I will figure it out someday.'

~ Back in the carriage.

' I will figure you out someday Hunter.'

~Next morning.

Hunter's pov.

'It seems I slept through the whole day. I was just informed that My elder brother and sister left for the palace last evening.'

And today I'm visiting this huge Museum to collect my reward for today.

"Um… lord Hunter shall we go in."

And today I'm accompanied by non other than James Holland.
