An Unacceptable Heart.
Lysia became Artizea’s lady-in-waiting..
This was what many people expected. If she was the successor to Baron Morten, her status and position would be appropriate for the lady-in-waiting of the Grand Duchess. Her age was also the same.
In addition, Artizea showed her more than usual favors from the start.
Artizea gave Lysia a room next to her. She also attached three personal maids.
She picked the best of her own clothes, repaired them, and even presented them as a gift to Lysia.
There were quite a few clothes in her closet that she hadn’t worn yet, and in Evron Grand Duchy it was hard to get a fine cloth. Even though they have the money.
Lysia refused, bewildered.
“You can’t give it all to me like this, Grand Duchess. Besides, these clothes were a gift from the Grand Duke…”

“Don’t worry. I know it’s not polite to give what you have received as a gift to others. This is all I bought separately, so I hope you don’t mind and accept it.”
Artizea said so.
“Because my lady-in-waiting’s outfit is related to my status as well.”
Lysia looked embarrassed, but she accepted it gratefully.
In fact, she only had one or two dresses, so she needed such consideration in order to stand next to Artizea.
Baron Morten is poor. The village of the rebels itself was like that as well.
It was supported by the Evron Grand Duchy. However, creating a village cost a lot of money. They had to avoid the imperial eyes, too. They couldn’t guarantee a generous life.
Lysia wasn’t very interested in luxury from the beginning.
So it was Artizea’s desire to put her in fine clothes and hang jewels around her neck.

At times Artizea felt skeptical, she seemed to be trying to compensate for her guilt that way.
But she had no reason to hold back her desire to do so.
At least as much as she received from Cedric, it was right to repay it to Lysia. It was originally Lysia’s.
Artizea also sent a person to the Baron Morten. It was to help Lysia bring any items she needed and to take care of Baron Morten’s affairs.
Naturally, the maids became polite to Lysia. It was because unlike Aubrey’s time, they realized that Lysia was going to be the second-in-command.
She wasn’t able to return after the New Year’s banquet, so she wrote a letter to her father.
[To my father,
I am doing well. I’m sure you heard the news that I’m now working as the Grand Duchess’ lady-in-waiting.
I apologize for not being able to discuss it in advance because it is sudden.

However, for the Grand Duchess, there is no other lady-in-waiting at the moment, so I cannot leave her. As it was, Aubrey would have been there, but she made a mistake and was kicked out.
Many were afraid because Count Jordyn’s daughter had been kicked out.
But in two or three days, everyone understood the situation and the stronghold quickly returned to normal. Her Grace, thankfully, did not hold aunt Margaret or uncle Aaron accountable.
I think it’s because she favored me as a lady-in-waiting.
The Grand Duchess is cool, but she is a dignified and elegant person. She has certain rewards and punishments to match her authority.
It was the same this time, the Grand Duke didn’t interfere with the work of the Grand Duchess.
Evron has never had a mistress for too long. At first, everyone felt a little confused, but now it is ordinary.
According to Aunt Margaret, even though she stood by the predecessor Grand Duchess, she was married young, and she was sick all the time and died early.
Besides, the Grand Duchess is full of wit and intelligence. The officials are afraid and respectful because she has already discovered problems with the territory many times in unexpected places.

Above all else, she loves and trusts the Grand Duke.
She’s not far from politics, but she doesn’t seem to be the one who will pull the Grand Duchy into a political battle, as my father concerns.
The Grand Duke did not marry for that purpose.
If there is anything I am anxious about, it is that the Grand Duchess is undeservedly too generous to me.
I’m afraid I don’t live up to expectations, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to return the loyalty and favor as much as she has given me.
Her Grace is planning to pick up only the loyal subjects of the Grand Duchy and bring in two more ladies-in-waiting. When that time comes, I’ll go home once.
Lysia.]
As Lysia was finalizing her letter, Artizea came into the room.
Lysia quickly stood up from her seat. Rize put the tea tray down on the table.

“Just sit down. Are you writing a letter?”
“No, I’m done.”
Lysia shook the letter to dry the ink, fold it, and press it on one side.
And she quickly opened the lid of the tea container.
“What are you going to do?”
Artizea asked. Lysia blushed her face.
“If you allow it.”
“Yes, you may.”
Artizea said so as she sat down.

Lysia wasn’t very good at pouring tea.
She first scooped the tea leaves with the tea spoon and transferred it to the teapot. Her hand, pouring the hot water, trembled.
When Artizea did it, it was very simple and beautifully done.
But she didn’t know why it was so difficult when she did it herself. It was even more so when someone was watching.
“You just have to practice slowly.”
Said Artizea.
“In a warm area, it is said that thinning the water stream and dropping it from a high place makes the water softer, but in this place the water cools down. It is natural that you are not used to it.”
“Because we didn’t have all the tools at our house.”
Lysia said. In her childhood she was educated. However, she did not actually have a chance to practice.
