"He asked for a knife."
A knife?
Selena was shocked.
Knives were sharp weapons, both for killing and for guarding.
What was Osvaldo's knife used for?
Lady Laurence looked at Selena and smiled gently, "At first I wasn't sure what he picked up that knife for, until he met you."
"I understood the meaning of my son taking the knife from the way he looked at you."
"He should have had someone he wanted to guard, though he probably didn't understand it, at that time."
Selena shook his head, "Madam, I didn't know Osvaldo before."
When Osvaldo was twelve years old, she was only five years old.
Never having been to H Country before.
Not to mention meeting Osvaldo.
The only teenage boy she had seen when she was five was the one she had met in the mercenary den.
But that teenager, at the moment, was sitting on the largest dark empire in the Union, cruel and bloodthirsty, an existence that even the Empire was afraid of.
Lady Laurence smiled, "Selena, do you believe in the existence of destiny in this world?"
"Do you believe that in this world, there is that one man who, even though he may not know of your existence, will still strive to have you."
"He is destined to meet you, to fall in love with you, and then, to keep you."
Selena was bewildered.
She had been emotionally frustrated for the first time, and this was the moment when she was at her most bewildered, she seem to understand Lady Laurence's words, yet seemed to not understand.
