Mavice's hand pressed down on his arm.
"No, I just thought you resemble someone…,” she said softly. Duke pulled his arm away from her grip,
avoiding Mavice's touch.
"I'm sorry, I forgot myself.” Mavice looked away and lowered her head to take a sip of coffee.
She regained her composure.
The rest of their meeting went smoothly.The two agreed on the venue of meeting, their course of action
and how to perform the handover.
“I shall see you the day after tomorrow then, Queen Mavice.Goodbye.” Duke bowed respectfully , put
on his mask and left the opera house.
Mavice stood at the stairs , watching as his back slowly disappeared from the entrance, and tears
suddenly pricked her eyes again.
It was shocking to think that the newly appointed Black Party leader’s face matched so strikingly with
her late husband's.
Even the scar on his face was the same.
When she was thirty years old, her husband had died protecting her.Her husband's face from so long
ago had always stayed in her mind.
His and Terry’s faces gradually overlapped…
After leaving the opera house, Duke had Blake drive to the largest amusement park in Yggdra.
When he pushed open the car door, he saw a beautiful woman seated on the street bench, surrounded
by four children , playing without a care in the world.He took off the golden mask and wore a black
mask.He walked over to them.
"Wow, Daddy's really here!” Harold was so happy he jumped for joy.
Adina looked over at him, the corners of her mouth raised into a gentle smile.He had called her early in
the morning to meet here.
She had been a little worried that he might not be able to make it.She was happy that he could.
“Is everything settled now?” she asked.
Duke wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
“It has been dealt with.The rest of my day belongs to you and the children.”
“Daddy, carry me!” Melody extended her two arms and clambered up to him.
Duke picked the little girl up and placed her on his shoulders.
Melody let out a happy laugh.
“Daddy, let's go play in the amusement park!” Harold ran straight for the park.
George and Alden followed Harold toward the park.
The family of six appearing at the park had attracted the attention of several people.
“Sir, Madam, you look really happy.Would you like to take a family photo as a keepsake?” A vendor
who sold photographs came over to sell his service.
“Would you like to take a picture?” Adina asked.
“Yeah!” Melody nodded vigorously.
“This is my first time playing in another country with Daddy, Mommy and my brothers.”
“Alright, let’s take a picture then.” 1 Duke called to his three sons who ran ahead.
Adina and Duke sat on the bench, Melody and Harold on their knees, and George and Alden each
saton either side of their parents.
