Duke Wellington nodded and spoke helplessly, "She wanted to see if I was still wearing the armband she gave me."
Arthur hesitated a bit, wanting to know the answer but also fearing disappointment.
He was silent for a good while before he couldn't help but ask, "Did she find it then?"
"Of course, she found it," Duke Wellington's smile seemed a bit complicated, "Just like any time during the past twenty years, if she wished to look, I was always there. How strange it is! People can live together for half a lifetime yet only understand each other in the end."
At this, Arthur suddenly remembered the gossip he had heard from various dinner parties in the past.
He remembered that Duke Wellington's wife, Catherine, was the daughter of the old Earl of Langford, and back in 1793, the young Duke Wellington had fallen in love with this lively and charming girl and had actively proposed to her.
