It seemed that Bastian was not the only one who was strange.
She saw it clearly.
Alexa, the strongest of Halsteadâs three demons, suddenly hesitated when she found Leticia.
When Alexa finished her business he didnât go back to the bar, instead she waited for Leticia to find her. If this was someone else, it wouldnât have happened.
âMaster!â
Alexa said rigorously.
âYou canât put any honorifics just like that. Just call me Butler.â
Leticia took a little thing out of her arms, not caring at all.
âLook at this. I found the brooch you lost yesterday.â
Oh my God! This is?
Alexa took it in amazement then instantly regained her stern look.
âMadam, you didnât lie down on the floor trying to find this, right?â
ââ.â
âLadies shouldnât be kneeling inside or outside the castle.â
âOkayâŚâ
Leticia answered reluctantly. Even though she heard harsh criticism, she wasnât discouraged.
âIâd like to talk like that too one day.â
It was just so admirable.
Although Alexa is an old lady with white hair, her grace and elegance are beyond anyoneâs reach.
It was very impressive.
In another sense with Bastian, she can read difficult books and keep them one after another.
Leticia isnât sure why Bastian came to live in this castle, but she is sure Bastian came from a great noble family.
âI could never be like that, especially when I wake up.â
Leticia headed to the kitchen after saying her greetings, there she saw the Chef Cassaro waiting for her.
Leticia ran quickly and greeted each other with fists like crew mates of a large ship.
âMadame! Please try this one first.â
The first thing Cassaro gave her was baked bread with a glass of red berries.
âThis is delicious! Whatâs this red thing?â
âItâs the eyeballs of a high-class frog.â
What� Eyeballs?!
Leticiaâs eyes grew wildly.
But she couldnât just lose. Leticia pointed to the pork sausage without even lifting her eyebrows.
âIs that the meat of an imp?â
Cassaro threw her head back and forth while laughing wildly.
âYouâve already adapted to Halsteadâs recipe!â
Alexa and Bastian looked at her pitifully.
âSince you are my Lady, Iâll play with you.â
âYouâre only thirteen.â
Of course, Casaro didnât care about it at all.
These three old ladies seem quite close to each other, but Leticia wasnât aware of it in the beginning.
They were all rescued from the wilderness by the previous Lords. Even before Erden was born, they were all here and now he treats them like his grandmothers.
Leticia also felt like she had three grandmothers instantly.
Right now, no matter how scary their faces are, they themselves arenât scary.
It wasnât just the people.
The mud-colored castle itself looks different now.
Did you think it was dried and dreary at first?
Itâs not, itâs now a relaxing place with a reliable structure. It wasnât outdated but instead old fashioned.
The dark places in every corner arenât scary anymore, theyâre now cozy. The places were just stimulated with imaginations.
Leticia went on for a walk after a hearty meal of northern cuisine.
Sheâd been wandering around the past few days, but she hasnât finished looking around this huge castle yet.
âLet me see.â
While touring the western wing, she found an old mural in the hallway. There were combinations of different monsters in the picture.
When she lived with the Count, she wasnât given a chance to look around.
But now itâs different.
âOhhhhhâŚâ
Leticia approached it with her eyes shining in amusement.
âFinally, thereâs good information!â
Leticia now had one small goal.
Feign ignorance about his identity as the Monster Lord, and just bow to him naturally.
The next time she bumps into Erden, thatâs when she decided to do it.
But, she isnât known to be a timid and easily surprised person. So she had to practice more in the future.
âWhich of these is he?â
Leticia began to delve hard into the murals of the monsters.
At the same timeâŚ
Erden has just entered the western wing corridor with his soldiers. They found Leticia while they were inspecting around.
âOh? Isnât it the Madam?â
Erden hesitated.
At that moment, the soldiers could feel the Lordâs dilemma.
She couldnât believe that the Monster Lord appeared at that moment. Isnât this the perfect situation for the proverb, âIf you call out a devil, the devil will come.â!
So what should she do?
Does she keep quiet so that she wonât get noticed?
Or does he know it purposely?
âHow do I look less surprised?â
While the two are agonizing fiercely, Leticia noticed something strange.
The Monster Lord stood tall, while his eyes turned casually to the mural of the monsters.
âHeuk!â
Leticia failed again this time.
âFoolish!â
She rebuked internally, but it was too late. Erden saw everything Leticia had appalled of.
This time, he didnât stroke and turned his head, but he canât feel anything.
âYou can still make up for it!â
Leticia turned her head harshly.
âIâll just move on as if nothing had happened, and have a light and casual conversation.â
Leticia then opened her mouth.
âHey, weâre getting married now, arenât we?â
It seemed like they were having a not so common or light conversation.
But, Erden looked like he was in a good mood to let Leticia talk to him gently.
âYes, thatâs correct.â
âBut when is the date?â
âThat hasnât been decided yet, since there are so many new things to prepare for you. I need more tread plates and your dresses need to be cut down more. As I told everyone that, the Grayâs family Lady is too small.â
Everyone looked at Erden.
Alexa came forward through the crowd. He had a look of embarrassment at his fair and neat face. Sheâs never seen him this embarrassed.
âAhm, that is, excuse me, my Lord?â
âWhy?â
âEven if the marriage is just a contract, she will still be your wife in the future. Itâs not appropriate to call her a âlittle childâ or âyouâ. Itâs better to use a more polite tone when speaking.â
ââ.â
Erden hardened.
âWhat do you mean politeâŚ? How do you do thatâŚ?â
How do I explain it? Itâs what I feel in my heart.â
Itâs impossible.
Leticia looked at them alternately with a perplexed face.
âErdenâs already seen it. Iâm just a kid who falls on the bed.â
My face turned red.
âThatâs enough.â
Leticia stepped up first and stirred her hand.
âIâm fine. Just speak comfortably. Erden is three years older than me. Spring, summer, fall and winter have to change three times.â
âAh, okay.â
Erden awkwardly spoke.
âWell⌠anyway. You can relax in my castle. While Iâm getting ready for the wedding, thereâs a place I have to go and itâs going to take some time because itâs hard to get there.â
Leticia was taken aback by what he said.
Heâs leaving somewhere far away.

When an event like this comes forth, she feels somewhat nervous.
When I was a baby, my parents left just like that and couldnât come back anymore.
Thus it left a deep trauma in Leticiaâs mind.
âNo, someone please say he shouldnât go anywhere.â
