Harren came back to the bar the next day in the morning . His companions said that they don't remember much of the girl even though they were listening to her , but they only drank two glasses before that , so it's unlikely that they were drunk , but they still can't remember her singing clearly neither her face . Knights don't get drunk on two glasses of alcohol anyway .
The bar owner was managing the counter when Harren arrived at the shop ealy in the morning , they were open at least.
"Excuse me" , Harren said with a little smile on his , which incidentally creeped out his knights companions .
"Yes , how may I help you , sir?" Gordon was quite calm while replying .
"Um. . can I ask about the girl that was singing here yesterday." With the hesitation in the question the knights really felt chill in their back . The duke never really hesitate in his speech even with the royal family . So this is really amusing for them .
"Oh ! We don't provide that kind of service here sir ". Gordon was irritated suddenly .
"Ah! n...no I am just asking about her nothing else . I mean I want to talk to her." Harren was really embarrassed by the question . This is really amusing .
Gordon practically glared at him .
"I am sorry sir I do not provide my girls for chit chat."
"Um .. I just want to talk to her a little."
"Alright then ... Sei!!!!! come out for a second."
'So her name is Sei then ' Harren was pleased by the little information .
"Yes" , the voice is the same as last night , harrHa immediately searched for the source of it .
And when she peeked from the doorway at the side of the bar Harren fell in love again.
"He wants to talk to you, do you want to?" Gordon was still glaring at the innocent knights.
She shook her head and left.
"She doesn't want to . Are you listening?" Gordon was getting ready smack his shoulder but Harren turned around suddenly , like he found what he was looking for .
"Uh ...yes okay thank you."
Harren left in a daze .
Gordon muttered 'another one'.
When Harren reached the hotel he was staying at he sat down and finally let her face sank in his mind .
"Where were you?"
Harren was surprised by the sudden sound . The voice was from Mat , his aide for the past ten years .
"Oh I went to the bar from last night." Harren was still happy to get to know her name .
"What why would you go there?" Mat sat down in front of Harren .
"Mat... I think I am in love." Harren was quite pleased by himself when he said it aloud .
"Tell me everything" , Ren said as he checked the young duke for any head injury .
"Alright tell me about her first ." He was more of a friend than a aide.
"You never change Mat ." Harren laughed a little and started telling him about his Loved lady .
"Ew , I didn't ask for a love from you Lord . I asked about the lady and if she is someone suspicious ." Mat shrugged ."Well I don't think you have to be concerned about her and her identity . " Harren was sad now that his friend don't really like his story . Although bit of it was fictional ."Really then how much do you know about her ?" Mat was excited now ." Well , she is an orphan . She came here almost three years ago . She is really good singer and kind to everyone ." Harren was happy to deliver the news to Mat ." But you still don't know if she...."" Oh..shu s up Mat , I will talk with her and then I will know how she is ." Harren left without saying anything more ."This guy! " Mat sat there thinking how he should start investigation .Harren asked some villagers about her and comes to know that her real name is Seilin
The place where they were talking was almost empty , so it was convenient to talk there ."That's not an answer to my question ."" I am not obligated to tell you everything now am I ? You didn't tell me everything about you too ." Harren smirked a little at his revenge from last time in the field ."Alright then tell me where you came from ." Seilin was a little irritated ." I came from the capital . ""Really? You are from the capital ! Did you see the emperor there ? ""I did ; why ?""WHAT ! You have ? Wow it's the emperor no one from around here saw a single royal member let alone the emperor .""I see . Well I can guarantee that he is not like the stories though . ""Whatever he still is the emperor of our land ."" I see ." Harren was quite sad by her interest th
"I'm sorry for lying to you ." Harren fell on his knees in front of Seilin . She was still crying while holding her face .After a while she calmed a little and then she finally spoke ."No I'm not sad because you didn't said the truth , but I'm sad thinking I talked to you all this time in that manner ,you must have neeb hurt sometimes . I'm sorry . ""No no I didn't really mind."" I talked about the people from capital even you without knowing . I'm so sorry .""Please don't say sorry anymore it's more sad for me ." Harren gave her a hug which stopped her tears suddenly . "I'm glad that you don't hate me Sei .""Of course not , I don't hate you . ""Do you not find me hard to talk with ." Harren was hesitant when he asked that ."Why should I ? I talked with for this many days why would I think of you as a different

Benjamin told her to wait with them for the Lord , but she wasn't really comfortable to wait with them . Fortunately Harren didn't took long to come to her rescue ."It's nice to see that you are all here on time ."

Make sure that she becomes the most befiting lady for house Battenburg . If there is any mistake you know what
Harren was supposed to be home early today but he didn't return even after the dinner time was over . Seilin was quite worried for him . She had to eat dinner without Harren because Benjamin wouldn't let her wait for him anymore than she already was . It wasn't the first time she have to eat dinner alone in that big table by herself . But it just shows how much busy Harren is to prepare for their wedding which was one and a half months away . Seilin wanted to help him with some work but he insisted that she should only work after she is finished with all her studies .

Seilin was getting really worried now . She was still pacing back and forth in front of the stairs ."Don't worry my Lady , master will be back soon . It must have taken a lot more time in the imperi
Even after two hours of changing from one dress to another , Harren still didn't said ok to any of them . Both Seilin and the manager was getting tired . Even if she brings out the most gorgeous dress Harren was still not satisfied with it . She finally excused herself to call the creator of the dress straight to the Duke . The owner Mrs. Poppin came out after a while with a smile on her face ."It's my pleasure to serve you my Lord . May I help you to find a dress for your fiance ?""It better be the last one because I don't have all the time to spend in your shop alone .""Certainly my Lord . This way my lady ."After a couple of minutes they both came back where Harren was still waiting . This time he stood up slowly and came in front of her ."I... it's beautiful . It suits you and only you Sei . It's really beautiful .""Thank you Harren ."
"It isn't a good story to hear . Do you still want to hear it ?" Harren said as he squeezed Seilin's hand a little ." Yes I want to know about it even if it's a bad story , because it involves you in it too .""Hahaha I really love you Sei .""Okay say it now .""Alright alright.
