hip, Henrique sighed, dropping his head tiredly before snapping it up again.

"Right." He muttered to himself.

Marching out purposefully, he got into his own carriage, instructing the driver to make his way to the Vlad Agency.

"Katie I know you're strong but please be safe. I am on my way." He hoped and prayed, nerves making it hard for him to stay calm.

The two carriages forked paths, Dali and Dino on their way to Esmerelda's Gardens.

Dino flexed his fingers, shifting in his seat, absorbed in thought.

"Catherine." Dali called out.

Dino snapped his head to face Dali, his eyes wild, looking around the carriage for her.

"I've been speaking for minutes and you didn't reply, I figured that would get your attention." Dali shrugged, a small smirk lifting the corner of his mouth.

"You're a rather cheeky, difficult noble Dali Delico." Dino commented, eyeing him with a semi disgusted, look.

Dali chuckled, thanking him with a gloating smirk.

"Please don't strike out on instinct Dino. When we get there we have to be as nonchalant as possible. It's the best shot." Dali spoke in a soft yet dominant tone.

Dino lifted his gaze to the wealthy aristocrat his forlorn face crinkling with anguish. He nodded, returning his gaze back to the outside view.

"I know... I am just worried about her..."

He said softly after a few seconds.
