The maid, who canât raise her head now, is a person who has worked in Lombardyâs mansion for decades.
She has a strong personality, so she wonât be so contemplative about most things.
âAhh! We can look for the maids who cleaned the bedrooms this morningâŚâ
âThere you go.â
Shananet, who was standing still with her back turned, said.
It was as monotonous as if it were someone elseâs business.
But even with that little voice, the maid stiffened.
âNo, Madame Shananet. Iâll do whatever it takes to get the criminalâŚâ
âNelly.â
Shananet called the maidâs name.
âI think I lost my necklace.â
ââŚYes?â
âCome to think of it, I went out a few days ago wore the necklace. I must have lost it outside then.â
Lie.
Shananet values the necklace, which is her motherâs keepsake.
Anyone living in the mansion knew she does not wear it unless it was a really special day.
The maid seemed unable to find anything to say.
âHa, butâŚâ
âSo donât make people suffer.â
It was not something that could be easily covered.
Like the Lombardy family, high-ranking nobles take this kind of thing very strictly, in a place where there were precious objects strewn everywhere but ordinary people couldnât even see for their whole life.
When an employee touches the ownerâs stuff, the employeeâs accommodation is completely overturned on that day.
But if you donât get what youâre looking for, youâll have to take some powerful servants and torture them to confess.
Perhaps the maid was aware in anticipation of such a future.
âDo you understand me?â
Shananet, who still hasnât shown her face, asked in a stern voice.
âYes, yes, Madame Shananet.â
âTh, thank youâŚ.!â
The maid, who probably cleaned the room, said, barely holding her quivering body.
âLet me rest.â
The maids and other employees all went outside at Shananetâs command.
I was wondering if she should go to her.

Somehow it doesnât seem right to leave Shananet alone.
The door closes with a clatter.
It was that moment.
Shananetâs body, which was standing upright, collapsed.
ââŚHuh!â
She looked so small from behind, sitting there and covering his mouth.
âUhâŚâ
Crane looked at it and tried to approach her, but I shook my head and donât let him go.
âMotherâŚâ
It was because Gilliu and Mayron, who were watching the situation in the room, approached Shananet.
After hesitating for a while, the twins carefully touched Shananetâs shoulder.
Perhaps because of her sons, Shananet tried to pick herself up, but it didnât seem easy.
âUghâŚâ
Little Crane is already teary-eyed just by looking at Shananet and the twins.
âLetâs come over next time.â
I said in a small voice, pulling Craneâs hand slightly.
And turned around.

âGrandfatherâŚ?â
My grandfather was looking at Shananet with sad eyes.
Looking at the back of Shananet, who had collapsed for a while, the grandfather quietly turned around.
He didnât say anything, but I thought it meant to follow him.
I took Craneâs hand and came out to the garden with my grandfather.
Like a habit every day, following my grandfather who takes a walk on the same road.
For Crane grandfather take a walk slower than usual.
Crane walked quietly without saying, perhaps he was aware of grandfatherâs feelings.
And finally, we reached the evergreen forest.
It was a place where memories of grandfather and grandmother remained.
Grandfather stopped and said, gently touching the biggest tree.
âDo you know why Shananet is so sad when she lost a necklace?â
âI heard it was my grandmotherâs keepsake.â
I answered carefully.
âItâs a precious thing. Iâd be really sad if something so precious disappeared.â
My grandfather, who touched the pine tree as if he missed it, smiled back at me.
And he patted my head.
It was a touch that was a little lackluster.
âYes, I canât believe you understood Shananetâs feelings. Our Tia is very kind.â
And my grandfather spoke mumbled.
âShananet was very close to Natalia. She was the first and the only daughter among her siblings. Natalia gave it to Shananet herself just before she closed her eyes.â
The necklace was more special than I thought.2
Now that sheâs lost such a keepsake, how great a sense of loss must be.
âIf itâs something so precious, she must find it at all costsâŚâ
âAunt Shananet is a peace-loving person in Lombardy.â
ââŚWhat?â
âItâs just, I guess sheâs like that.â
I said with a small smile to my grandfather, who looked at me in surprise.
It was a conclusion that I came to think about why Shananet divorced in her previous life, losing so much.
Shananet did not want to break the peace of Lombardy because of her problems.
She never dreamed that Vestian had another woman, and she carried everything for Lombardy and the twins.
Shananet-like, that was a foolishly good choice. [1]
I thought for a moment, and carefully patted my grandfatherâs sleeve and asked.
