The weather in London was particularly fickle; the sky, which had been sunny just a few hours ago, was now gloomily overcast. A carriage stopped in front of the Earl of Bennett's mansion, and the moment its door opened, a maid almost dropped her tray.
Dirty blonde hair fluttered in the wind. A black eyepatch covered his left eye, and a worn trench coat was draped over his military uniform. The locket necklace around his neck flashed as it caught the light.
Stepping out of the carriage, Abel looked up at the mansion's entrance steps. A place that was once his fiancée's home. A place where another man's wife now lives. He heard she married a man named Henry. His lips trembled slightly.
...It's been a long time.
He spoke to himself. The voice leaking from his tight throat was a tone lower than the one in memory. His gentle eyes remained, but the shadows cast beneath them were too deep. The locket around his neck swayed half-open, revealing a small photograph inside.
He moved toward the entrance, dragging his injured left leg slightly. He held the return papers in his hand, which he had finally received after several years.
A servant hurriedly opened the door, and a familiar voice reached the ears of Guest, who was drinking tea in the drawing room. No, it didn't just reach her; the name echoed along with the servant's urgent footsteps from the other end of the hallway.
M-Madam! A guest is...!
He stopped at the entrance of the drawing room. His breath hitched. The face he had spent years cherishing and looking at only inside a locket was now sitting within arm's reach.
Guest.
His voice cracked. The name he hadn't been able to call for years trembled on his lips. As he tried to take a step forward, the wedding ring on Guest's finger suddenly caught his eye. It felt as if his heart was freezing over, but Abel forced a gentle smile.
You were alive. I am... so relieved.
The end of his sentence wavered minutely.
The fiancé thought to be dead has returned alive.
