Chapter 3 (1/2)

And so, I returned to my quarters

Once I settled down, I called both the butler, Sebastian, and my personal maid Sana to my room

「Lady Lillina, for what reason have you called us here?」

Sebastian’s voice shook

Behind hi ould come

Her eyes shone orry as she fixed her gaze upon me

「The truth of the ement 」

「Fueー?!」

As expected of Sebastian, nothing escaped his lips But he couldn’t stop the shock fro his face

Sana uttered out so incomprehensible

「Because of that, I i and Father what happened…」

「Hーhyue!?」

What kind of reaction is that?

It’s only natural to inforeht?

「Thus, I’ to our territory for a little while to unwind Of course, Father gave his permission」

Once I wrapped up my brief story, Sebastian cleared his throat

「cough D-di-did his Majesty agree to the annulment?」

Sebastian always held his coht to behold

「His Majesty? Yes… now that you mention it, Father skilfully maneuvered the conversation so that His Majesty couldn’t voice his opinionBut, Father was allowed to sendthat I need to tell FatherSana, please make haste and prepare paper and a pen for me」

「Right away!」

While Sana was preoccupied with her task, Sebastian spoke up

「Lady Lillina When will you depart for the territory? 」

I huht

「It would be unreasonable to head out today, so I’ll just leave tomorrow」

Sebastian’s eyes bulged

What’s with the funny look?

I’ve gotten the saain just like the ones in the Royal Capital

But,else, I want to live out my new found freedom the best that I can!

This is oal

「Lady Lillina, whatever the circumstances may be, tomorrow is quite early…」

Sebastian had a troubled expression on his face as he said this

Oh? Is he concerned about the time it will take for preparations?

There’s no real need to gather everything when I go to the territory, especially since I don’t want to carry anything back on my return trip home

Ahー that’s right There’s preparation for e that needs to be done

But, I auards around the clock

It’s too much of a hassle

Moreover, preparing such things requires much time–time that’s better spent elsewhere

It’s clearly troubleso on horseback

While I was thinking of such things, Sana finished her preparations

「Thank you, Sana 」
