No matter what happens, the world doesn’t change. When morning comes, night comes, and when night comes, morning comes again. The early morning sunlight also fell on the Rose House. The red roses that fill the garden are sparkling with dew and shining.

“It’s beautiful.”

It’s definitely beautiful. Probably because they spent a lot of money. How much does it cost to have roses bloom all year round? I think it will probably cost enough to buy a mansion in the capital.

I can’t give you that money.

I yawned a little while leaning against the window, thinking such a foolish thing.

I’m a little tired, but I feel good when I wake up early in the morning. I feel refreshed by the cool morning wind. But the reason you feel this way is not simply because you woke up early. It must be because memories that have been scattered for a long time have returned.

Yes, remember…

With the shock of the head, everything came to mind. From past lives and novels to memories of the past. Sure enough, the memories came back, and I could see how stupid I had been all this time.

To show your dislike in front of aristocrats, isn’t that enough of a protest to kill you? What about banging your head like crazy against a wall to get your memories back?

“… Then, what if something went wrong, and what I did was so dangerous? Luckily, my memory came back, and if it wasn’t crazy… Sigh.”

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. There is no pain or scar left behind where it was once wounded. It was thanks to the potion Arthur gave her.

After waking up, he offered me a potion to heal my wounds. I didn’t want to be indebted to, and I refused because I didn’t want to let this happen. However, I had no choice but to use the potion because he forced her to give me a potion and also asked Yuria not to refuse.

How can you stop a child looking at you with such a pitiful face?

I was able to heal the scar on my forehead, but I can’t erase my disappointment.

“It’s all because of you. You know I’m weak with that kind of face, right?”

I turned my head to look at Yuria. She didn’t know and was lying on the soft bed, sleeping soundly.

I gently sat on the bed and stroked Yuria’s cheek. The soft texture of silk is said to make people feel good.

My distorted eyes widened and a smile leaked out. A king-size bed in which Yuria is now sleeping curled up on her body, a table and chairs that match an expensive tea set, a huge wardrobe and red carpet that covers the entire floor, and landscape paintings on the walls.

This room, filled with all kinds of luxurious furnishings, was the guest room of the Emers family.

While the Duke proceeded with the investigation, we continued to be guests at the Emers mansion. The reason was that if Count Nigor noticed us during the investigation, it could be dangerous, so they would protect us from within.

I was worried about the future of the three young masters, but I felt safe because nobles would protect me, and I decided to stay for a while after seeing the Duke.

According to the novel, the Duke of Emers was a character who kept her promises. She had to keep her promise to get us out of the mansion, in the name of her family. She was the first to clear the frame of Yuria and me and find the culprit.

The culprit was the maid who pointed us out as thieves. She says she usually did it with the intention of kicking us out because she didn’t like us.

It’s funny. What kind of maid would risk doing such a thing? Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0ᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The Duke proudly declared that we were not the culprit, but pointed out the maid as the culprit and kicked her out.

The reason the Duke hides the culprit is not because of her son, she’s probably doing it for fear of damaging the family’s honor.

You can guess who the culprit is. In the original work, it was Osses who mainly worked behind the scenes and took the lead. He was the first to order that Yuria be imprisoned. When he gave money to the maid who left after her stigma and asked if the culprit was Osses, she kept her mouth shut, but she looked surprised as if she knew it.

“… Because it’s obvious.”

Anyway, this world is a place set in the novel. If you only know the contents, you can roughly understand what will happen in the future and how people will behave. You can’t be distracted though. Even if you knew the novel up to this point, there wasn’t a single thing that changed it properly. When I realized that again, I was shocked.

I can’t come to my senses because of the things I messed up. I sighed and slapped my cheek a couple of times to get back to my senses.

… Anyway, as mentioned earlier, the Duke is a person who keeps her promises. However, only what she promised. As promised, we could see this by only releasing the injustice and not revealing the true culprit.

Since she is such a person, she might get me and Yuria out of the mansion, but even if they do, they may not care much after that.

Even if young masters kidnapped us.

If you think about it, the confinement of Yuria in the original work was also due to the tacit consent of the Duke. As someone who likes talented people, she may not ignore us who helped, but she cannot ignore the subtle possibilities.

Currently, the young masters ‘misunderstood’ that they were interested in me.

Osses shows a strange interest, Arthur acts like he has a crush, and Isley even makes a confession.

As in the original story, if they were mistaking their feelings for liking or love, it was clear that they would prevent them from leaving the mansion.

While I was here, I was going to shatter that illusion, but… Unfortunately, the three of them were very busy.

This is because Osses worked as the Duke’s agent, and the other two helped the Duke to capture the people involved in the auction. It was only a short time to see them, and there was hardly any time to talk.

but it’s okay, There was still a lot of time left before I left the mansion, and I was able to talk a lot with Yuria during that time.

I closed my eyes and remembered the past.

Two weeks ago, I who had just woken up in the infirmary, Yuria squeezed my hand tightly and said:

– Lala… now, now it’s okay I got it all figured out. The Duke heard my story and decided to set us free.

– That’s why I’m here.

I raised my hand and touched my forehead, which felt foreign. A damp bandage was wrapped around my head. It was only then that I realized that she had solved all of her problems by herself.

– … It was hard, really.

When did Yuria stop needing my protection and help? When did you become such a strong and courageous person? Since when did you become an adult? I didn’t know.

I couldn’t understand anything, but I could tell, for one thing, that her presence felt bigger than usual. It’s amazing. When she grew taller than me, when she braver than me, she never once thought that she was tall…

I was reminded of Yuria’s growth once again, and I couldn’t raise my head because I was ashamed of myself as I tried to control the grown child by holding it in my hands. While I was proud of her strong enough to be able to confide in her painful memories, I felt lonely because it seemed like she had left my hand.

Those feelings quickly disappeared as Yuria’s hand gripped my hand tightly.

-Why again? … Why did you make your forehead like that?

As if to say that she didn’t leave me, Yuria was looking down at me with a childlike face with tears in her eyes.

– … I wanted to help you. I thought if I gave my head a shock, I could get my memories back. I wanted to get my memories back and talk about what happened in that mansion with you, but it’s too late.

– But not like this…!

Yuria screamed. The power to hold her hand grew stronger.

– I don’t want to see you hurt anymore, Lala! Do you know how much it hurts me every time you do that? Please don’t be sick…

– Sorry. Don’t cry, Yuria.

– Don’t cry…..

Yuria’s face was red. She wanted to cry, but she seemed to hold back her tears.

– I guess my actions weren’t useless though. My-my memory is back.

– What…? really?

– Yes. really.

Even though the smile she made to comfort her was meaningless, Yuria poured out tears like a shower. In the blink of an eye, I was held in her arms. She hugged me so tightly that my chest was tight and I was short of breath.

– Sorry.

I patted Yuria’s back, which wet my shoulder, and whispered quietly in my ear.

– The things that you did alone, the things that made you worry, everything… just sorry for everything I mean… I must have thought of you as a child all this time. So I thought I had to deal with anything that happened on my own, so I just hid it. I’ll never do that again. I just realized You’re not a child, you’re not weak…. Can you forgive me?”

– Forgiv, Hic… I’ll forgive you… therefore… Never worry about it again, Hic, don’t…! Don’t try to solve it by yourself…!

– Yes…

– I, I’m your older sister…! To me… I want you to depend on me.

– I will.

– Me too… What Alexander didn’t say when he came… sorry.

– It’s okay.

After crying for a long time, Yuria said that she also had something to say and told the story of the last time the Duke had called her, the promise she made with her, and the identity of Alexander. It should come as no surprise that Alexander was a spy for the Duke of Emers.

Considering the revenge he had shown, it seemed like he could hold the Duke’s hand enough to overthrow Count Nigor. Rather, Yuria was embarrassed to see me calmly listening to the story.

– Lala, did you already know who Alexander was? That’s why you said that he was a trustworthy person…?

– That’s not right. Before we escaped from the mansion, I was only told that Alexander also had a grudge. At that time, Alexander told the Count that he had come into the mansion to take revenge. More details here… It’s personal, so I don’t know if I can tell you.

Yuria seemed to pass me by not giving details of Alexander’s situation.

“… No.”

Then, I heard a moan coming from somewhere and opened my eyes. Turning my head to where I heard the voice, Yuria saw her tears flowing. She grabbed the blanket tightly and mumbled the words of rejection.

“Do not touch….”

Are you having the nightmare of that day again? Yuria probably. You don’t know how I feel every time I hear her sleep talk. Every time I see her tears, I feel sadness, guilt and unbearable anger.

If possible, I want to run to the Count and pour out my resentment. I really want to hurt him. Swallowing her wet emotions, she gently stroked Yuria’s hair.

“It’s okay.”

Yuria’s expression softened as I kept whispering in her ear the words to be relieved because I was by her side. A knock was heard as I was calming Yuria.

When I asked to come in, the maid who brought breakfast on the tray stepped into the room.

She put soup and sandwiches on the table near the bed, said hello and left. Tak, Yuria flinched as she heard the door closing. Soon her eyelids opened, revealing blue eyes that seemed to contain the sky.

Yuria looked up at me with a hazy face. Even though she has just woken up, there will be no one but Yuria who is this adorable.

“… Lala…?”

“Are you awake?”

Yuria, who had been staring blankly at my face for a while, widened her eyes as if surprised. What would be expected of her surprised at what part. I smiled and removed my hand from her head.

“What’s the matter? It’s awkward because I got up first, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, I usually woke him up… … . It’s been two weeks and I’m still not used to it.”

Yuria got up from her seat, yawned slightly and stretched. While Yuria was adjusting her dress, I grabbed a sandwich from her table and put it in her mouth.

“thanks.”

Yuria smiled bashfully and muttered a sandwich. She was as cute as a rabbit. I don’t like Isley, but I liked the one nickname he gave me. Really, that’s the only one.

It was such a peaceful morning.
