‘Isn’t that like the last dinner?’
Aria glanced back at the note ordering her to leave once she was cured.
If she was kicked out, she wouldn’t be able to taste any more desserts.
Maybe Lloyd was trying to be thoughtful by ordering the maids to serve Aria all kinds of desserts.
“If you want to eat all types of sweets, you have to get better first.” Diana said as she gave a pill to Aria.
Aria immediately gulped it down.
“You take the pills so well. I’m proud of you.” Diana said.
Then, she gave a small jar to Aria.
Inside the jar, were small, colored grains.
They glittered attractively in the light like majestic gemstones, giving off an ethereal glow.
“Do you like star candies?”
‘Star candies? This is candy?’
Aria looked inside the jar, opened the cork lid and chewed on a piece of the star candy.
The sugary after-taste hovered on her tongue.
The candy called to her seductively, promising moments of bliss that would melt on her tongue.
Once it was finished, her heart ached for more.
But Aria hastily put the lid back on and returned them to the drawer. She wanted to savor them for a long time.
‘She looks like a squirrel hiding her acorn…’
The servants clenched their teeth. Not because they were annoyed, but because of Aria’s unbearably cute actions.
They desperately wanted to pat her head.
However, only a certain lady-in-waiting was allowed to stroke her hair.
‘We can’t stroke the young miss.’
She would probably give out the <b>[I’m not a baby]</b> card again, pouting with her cute chubby cheeks.
The servants glanced at the lovely child, hoping that one day, it would finally be their turn to stroke her head.
The servants would bring flowers every time they visited Aria.
“This is Grape Hyacinth. The language…”
Before long, the guest room where Aria was staying became crowded with vases of various flowers.
The air was also perfumed by their heavy scents.
‘This is my first time seeing these many flowers.’
Aria stretched her neck like a meerkat to look outside the window.
“Young Miss, don’t stand by the window anymore since there’s a lot of flowers here already.” Diana said, holding a bouquet in her arms.
“And from today onwards, these knights will temporarily become your escorts.”
Diana appointed escorts for her because she was afraid that Aria would get sick again when left alone.
The knights, who stood behind Diana, greeted Aria one after another.
They were very polite… all except for one.
‘His name was Sir Anjou.’
To be forced to leave your post just to escort a child. He must have thought of it as a hassle.
The knight looked discontented.
As Aria observed him closely, her nose started to tickle.
Everyone stared at Aria with surprised expressions.
Aria snuffled after her sneezing stopped. She didn’t have allergies, but strong aromas tended to make her sneeze.
“H-Head lady-in-waiting!” Betty interrupted whilst holding a book titled「Hospital Etiquette」.
“Please look at this. The book said that fresh flowers are banned within hospital premises! Especially for outsiders!”
“Because there’s a risk of allergy or infection!”
Aria tilted her head, rubbing her itchy nose with the sleeves of her dress.
Diana and Betty exchanged glances with each other.
“But, isn’t the madame from the outside too? I change the flowers in her vase every morning.”
“Well, people have different conditions. Some are weaker than the others.”
“But that means… the young miss is weaker than the madame!”
“Get rid of the flowers right away.” Diana ordered.
The maids proceeded to clear out all the flowers in the room.
Aria frowned at the removed flowers.
“Phew…. it almost turned into a huge problem. I apologize for my carelessness. This is my first time nursing a child from outside the border.”
<b>[Outside the border?]</b>
She had heard it a few times before. Aria had to ask what it was to satisfy her curiosity.
“I mean outside the territory. The border refers to the Ingo Mountains surrounding the Grand Duchy of Valentine.”
Diana smiled and gently answered the question.
“Well, the people from the Grand Duchy are very strong. Everyone here is confident in their physical abilities and strengths.”
The beasts she saw here were gigantic.
Furthermore, the humans weren’t normal.
‘Was it so important whether we were born a noble, commoner, or even a slave?’
We were all humans, and we were the same.

The servants had poured their hearts out just to let her feel at home, only for him to ruthlessly trash their efforts.
Aria took out her fountain pen and wrote on a few cards.
Then, she pointed her finger towards Anjou.
He seemed uncomfortable, but he still approached the little girl.
“Just say it. Oh, wait. You can’t! Pardon me….” he sneered.
