Chapter 253 (1/2)
Chapter 253: Chapter 253 Present VII
The fresh breeze was blowing through the window, and the morning sun shining through the curtains was shining brilliantly. The voices of the maids chatting happily and the chirping of the birds in the morning was heard through the half-open window.
Is it because I slept fitfully last night?
Although everybody felt great in the morning, I could not share their happy mood.
My head was throbbing, and I felt heavy all over my body like I was wearing a wet dress.
“Do you think you are really okay, my lady?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
Leaving Lina behind, who was worried about me all morning, I raised my tired body and changed into a riding suit. When my body felt heavy, it was better for me to move my body properly than to stay still.
“Hi, Sylvia. Good morning.”
When I whispered, burying my face in her mane, Sylvia blew from her mouth strongly as if she replied to me. That made me remember my coming-of-age ceremony. That day I fell from Sylvia because of a roaring bear, and I was in a difficult situation because Sylvia was limping due to her sprained ankle. I also rode the emperor’s horse because of that.
‘Don’t think about it, Aristia. You decided to forget all about it, right?’
When I climbed Sylvia with a bitter smile, a knight in white uniform climbed his horse and asked me, “Where are you going, my lady?”
“Um, well…”
I hesitated for a moment. If I could have my way, I wanted to ride far, but I didn’t want to put a burden on the two royal knights who were dispatched to escort me.
“Why don’t you make a round of the noble’s district? I think you will be fine as we are escorting you from behind.”
“May I?”
“Of course. Do as you please. ”
“Thank you.”
After greeting the knights guarding my house at the gate lightly, I headed to the boulevard of the noble district with the two royal knights.
As it was early in the morning, the street was empty without a single wagon. I raised my head and looked up at the sky. There was no cloud or bright moonlight in the sky.
Suddenly, I felt some hot feelings surging from my heart.
“Giddyup!”
As I spurred her, pulling the reins, Sylvia shook her silver mane and galloped quickly.
The fresh breeze drifting by my chest seemed to blow away my hard and sad feelings.
Let me forget it. The tears of happiness and the old me last night. Let’s forget it all as if they didn’t exist from the beginning.
“Giddyup!”
Heehaw!
As Sylvia picked up speed, blowing roughly from her mouth, my lingering memories of what happened last night disappeared. The magic attraction of the blue moonlight was also blown away.
“Oh, welcome back, my lady. Are you feeling better? ”
“Yes, I think so.”
“I’m glad to hear that. You looked so bad a little while ago.”
I smiled at Lina who beamed at me, and I headed to the home office to take care of some paperwork before going to work.
While I was organizing letters and documents for a while, which I didn’t finish reviewing last night, I noticed a familiar sign. An urgent sign was stamped on the tightly sealed envelope.
The moment I opened the envelope and checked its contents, a smile touched my mouth.
Isn’t Amarantine the crest of the Lanier family? I was very pleased to hear that Baron Carot finally obtained the secret document I had been looking for. Moreover, since he confirmed the existence of “it,” all I had to do was to identify the connection between “it” and Duke Jena.
If so, I could at least punish the duke for poisoning me.
‘By the way…’
I tapped the desk gently. .
All the others were good news, but I was bothered by the fact that Ian Belot’s daughter was going to change her dwelling. She has stayed put in her location until now, but why is she suddenly moving? Did they notice our surveillance?
