CHOOSING A GIFT (4)

As Hugh started to question Leticia, he heard a familiar voice that chimed in at that moment.

"Who is this person, Leticia?" Lucio asked.

He didn't see Hugh under the hood and only saw his frame that was covered by the cape.

"Oh! You know who this man is, Sir Lucio. You already saw him before. You know… the one I saved."

"Oh… you mean that guy… What's his name again?"

Lucion tilted his head.

"It's Hugh." The Duke answered.

Hugh turned his head towards Lucio and they met eyes.

Lucio becomes baffled as the eyes that he remembers with the man that Leticia saved was not black but brownish eye color.

He tilted his head. "Did you ever have dark eyes to begin with or is it because of the cape that your brownish eye color becomes dark?"

"Ha-hahaha!_ Leticia laughed awkwardly. 

She tried to change the subject.

"Anyway… you said you came here for me, right? Where are you going to stay by the way?"
