Our carriage traveled for a long time and finally arrived at the fief. The land dyed with late autumn colors was precisely what I remembered.
“Grandma!”
“Come on in, children. I’ve been waiting for you.”
As we entered the old castle, Grandma received us with good graces.
I lived with my grandmother until my mother called me to the capital. Therefore, I’m all the more welcome here.
As a courtesy, we also spent some free time in the drawing-room introducing Daisy before we proceeded to dinner.
“Rest well.”
“You too, Grandma. Rest well.”
After our appetites were sated, I parted with Daisy and went into my designated room.
Oh, I’m so tired. I was exhausted after sitting in that carriage for a long time. I may try stretching out my legs to sleep more comfortably tonight.
As soon as I mused on that thought, someone knocked on my door.
“Sienna, it’s me.”
It was Daisy. She directly opened the door and came in without asking for my permission. Aren’t you quite excited?
I repositioned myself on the bed as she drew close.
“What is it?”
“Why don’t we go out later tonight?”
It’s so obvious why you’re asking me to go out with you. You’re trying to show your face at the magic fountain, aren’t you? Even though we’ve just arrived an hour ago from that tiring journey, you still want to walk around?
I looked at Daisy with a bored face while Daisy was gazing at me with a look of anticipation.
Even in my previous life, Daisy came into my room in exactly the same way. What did I say back then?
‘ ”
In the past, Daisy went to the bench and declared she needed to rest.
“Sienna, you go on ahead. I’ll take a rest here.”
“What? So my escort…..”
Sir Bolt, who was standing between Daisy and me, looked alternately at us with a conflicted expression.
My escort would initially have to follow me, but Daisy dragged Sir Bolt in casually, and she’s our guest as well. We wouldn’t want something awful to happen to our only guest now, would we?
“There’s no one on the road anyway, so Sir Bolt will take a break with me.”
“……”
Daisy was acting as if Sir Bolt was her escort knight.
It’s not my fault that you left your own escort in the castle. Annoyed as I am, however, I didn’t contradict Daisy’s words and only reassured Sir Bolt that I’ll be fine on my own.
“Yes, as Daisy said, there’s no one here anyway, so I’ll be alright. Just stay with Daisy, Sir Bolt.”
I already know my purpose here, so I needed to head off soon. I promptly turned away after I reassured Sir Bolt, who was at a loss for what to do.
I walked at a steady pace as I was trying to search my memory of his current location. I think I didn’t walk in a straight line, but I went off to a side road…
“Was it this way?”
There was half doubt because the road was cleared of people unlike before. Is this the right place? I seemed to be lost.
However, the figure of someone lying on the ground was seen far from where I’m standing. It’s the Duke!
I finally met him! My heart was throbbing with excitement.
Unlike in the past, when I ran towards him in a panic and worried about the man’s safety, I hurriedly went over to him with eagerness.
I wasn’t frightened this time because the Duke was alive. I decisively approached him and tried to hoist him up.
However, I lost my grip and missed him. He was too heavy for me to carry alone.
“Oh, I’m sorry!”
I know you can’t hear me, and yet I still apologized. Due to my careless deed, his body hit the ground heavily and rolled to his side, revealing his face in the process.
It’s exactly what I remembered. Blood was flowing on his forehead and, his face was messy with dirt, but his presence was clearly that of a duke.

He was dressed as an ordinary tourist, but his looks weren’t ordinary at all.
By the way, the ambitious Daisy looked down on him because she thought he was a commoner and yet liked him for his handsome face.
“………”
Poor guy. The Duke hit his head hard to the point he’s passed out right away.
