Chapter 4 (2/2)

If it was at her adorable son’s request, she wouldn’t have the heart to turn him down No, she’s always been a kind person, so even if it were me, she probably couldn’t bear to disappoint

Nonetheless, I thought it was important for mother and son to enjoy quality time with each other

It could’ve been the weather or the cli particular attention to the condition of Lady Eradually increased, little by little Lord Moritz and his servants were soothed by the figures of the two as they leisurely strolled around, ad the flowers or the birds

“I’ll add flowers and carvings until the garden is stuffed!” the husband thought That’s how uy

But then it cah trouble after trouble to make The moment she involuntarily exclaimed, “Delicious!” tears came to our eyes

I linked hands in delight with the chef who had worked so hard with us, and the overjoyed Master Julius lifted h spirits

Lady Ean to look better as well Lately, she has even taken to having tea with azebo located in the corner of the garden

Nohen the seasons changed, she almost never laid in bed anymore

There was one ht She hasn’t had a relapse yet, but…I’ with happiness when I saw the color on her cheeks, or how she’s filled out a little

But

This beautiful woirl suddenly threw a bomb at me

“Miss Marie, ill you finally ?”

“………HUH?”

“Wha—…MOTHER!”

Georg—who sat next to host

…crap! I co! I FORGOOTTT!!!!

It seems like the future had already been settled in theirup at their fale my own neck

I , it’s become desperate for me instead

“I often chat with Moritz, telling hihter He also sees you as his own, and these days he has been cheerfully saying he’ll turn Georg into a worthy young man who can match you well”

What should I do? I have zero plans toat me with eyes full of expectations, so it’s hard for me to tell her no

It wouldn’t painto establish a connection with the royal fa it out of self-interest, but I could see nothing like that in her s face

Becohter does sound attractive, but…

I can’t I’ve already decided to dedicate everything I have to the Commander I still have yet to meet Or perhaps I should say, in all honestly, this situation was so absurd e to see the present 7 year old Georg as anything rese a romantic interest

Just when I had begun to sweat under the pressure, a helping hand came from the most unexpected place

“It’s still too early, sister”

Silent until now, Master Julius put down his cup, a wry smile on his lips

“Oh my, do you think so?”

“Yes Her Highness ht seem wise beyond her years, but she’s still only six years old There’s still plenty of tie, you’ll only trouble her”

“I see… I’s difficult for you, but I suppose I was rushi+ng too much”

“No, please! For you to say you consider hter, it makes me very happy”

Scolded by Master Julius, Lady Emma became dispirited

I was the one who decided to addthe plunge If I dared to say it, noas the only chance I’d get

“However…there is so for”

“Hah?!”

“What?!”

The first ones to respond to , then Lady E stood up with a pale face, Lady E very interested

“My! What sort of character is this person?”

I thought Lady Emma would be disappointed, but she actually took the bait with great enthusiasirls’ love stories are popular in every world!

Driving the guys away, Lady Emma persistently questioned me until I was at my wit’s end

I still haven’t hts, so I could only h uous, she seemed to understand

Just as I was leaving, she smiled and said “I’ll support you!” so I’ve soed to put that issue to rest…or so I’d like to think
