“Lily sent the one she made herself, so don’t think about sending it back.”

 

Mary, likewise, burst out laughing when she read the contents of the letter, which I briefly conveyed.

 

“Come to think of it, Miss Lily was quite good at making jewelry,” she commented.

 

“That’s completely right. Count Lemian’s family has had multiple jewelry mines for generations, and she’s been interested in jewelry since she was a child.”

 

So, even though she’s in the North, she stayed in the workshop for a week on my birthday and gave the ornaments she made. When compared to the ornaments of other craftsmen, Lily’s ornaments were not lacking.

 

“By the way, aren’t these earrings particularly gorgeous? It must be a little too extravagant to wear everyday.”

 

“Hmm, even from Mary’s perspective, right?”

 

“Yeah, I think the bracelet is fine, but the earrings are stunningly beautiful…”

 

The earrings Lily sent were, as Mary stated, too grandiose to wear on a regular basis.

 

It seemed to be adequate to wear for a party or a banquet.

 

“Sigh… Will Lily ever come to the capital, Mary?”

 

“Yes? Hmm… I think Countess Lemian will be against it…” Mary paused for a moment before responding with an awkward smile.

 

“As expected, right? If Lily comes, Mrs. Lemian will tear her up.” I nodded in sympathy with Mary’s answer.

 

Lily said she wanted to accompany me to the capital last time, but I heard she had a week-long feud with the Countess.

 

“But, Miss, why do you ask?”

 

“Ugh, no. There are some vague words in the letter. Do you have any plans for the next two days?”

 

“Nothing noteworthy will happen within the next two days, Countess Lemian’s class has also concluded.” Mary nodded her head in response to my question.

 

“Wasn’t it four days later when Emma said she would return?”

 

Emma had come along to assist with my debutante preparations and was now staying at my parents’ home in the capital.

 

“Yes. Count Chiron called the district every night and cried and said that he had to leave soon.”

 

Mary’s voice smeared with laughter. Emma, who came as my teacher, was very fond of Mary, and Mary liked Emma who was cheerful.

 

Sometimes Emma was giggling with Mary. I think we talked about that.

 

“Ahaha. Really? Then we should go see Emma before that.”

 

“Then shall we leave a message for Emma?”

 

“Yeah, I’m begging you. Ask her if she’ll have time in three days.”

 

After Mary went out to send Emma a message, I took out two sheets of letter paper and a fountain pen.

 

“First, I must send a letter to the Marquis.”

 

I started the letter with a casual greeting and quickly completed a reply.

 

It was, of course, my answer accepting his invitation. Seian unexpectedly liked sweets, but he mentioned that it’s in the history of the family.

 

So when I went to the Vicente mansion, the dessert was very delicious.

 

“Hmm… Then, after lunch, I’ll go to the store my brother told me about.”

 

Feeling a little better, I hummed and pushed the letter for Seian aside and pulled the yellow paper back in front of me.

 

This was a letter for Lily, who likes yellow.

 

Erita ended the letter by saying ‘thank you‘, and worrying about Lily wearing warm clothes because it’s still cold in the north, and telling her she missed her.

 

Then I lit the candle, melted the colored candle, and dropped two or three drops of it on the envelope.

 

The round and pretty shape was completed when the candle wax was pressed with a stamp before it hardened.

 

“I’ll have to ask someone to send it later.”

 

‘Ugh.’ Stretching my arms, I stood up from my seat.

 

“Now let’s go finish the troublesome artifact.”

 

The dark magic classification artifact that I am working hard on was only left in the last stage with less than two weeks left until my debut.

 

I think I’d be really upset if it didn’t work after I finished it.

 

It has already been over two weeks since the time I spent on that artifact.

 

While sighing, I steadily moved toward the studio.

 

 

 

 

Two mornings later…

 

“Lady, the Marquis of Vicente has arrived outside!” Mary’s voice came from outside the door.

 

“Yes! I’ll be right out!”

 

After getting ready to go out, I sat at my desk and quickly stood out of my seat.

 

“Well, you don’t need a coat, do you?”

 

After thinking for a while, I left the room as it was, looking at the bright sky outside, which was unusually close to spring weather today.

 

“But it’s already eleven o’clock? I lost track of time.”

 

“You don’t even know the sun is setting when you’re reading a book.”

 

“Ahaha. I’m sorry, Marilyn.”

 

That’s why Marilyn had a hard time looking for me in the North.

 

At Marilyn’s candid remark, I let out a short laugh and went down the stairs.

 

“Oh, its father and brother.”

 

Halfway down the long stairs, I could see my father and Aaron standing at the front door.

 

“Father, brother!”

 

As I descended the stairs and approached them, the two of them turned to look at the same time.

 

Because both father and Aaron were dressed for an outing, it appeared that they were going somewhere.

 

“Where are you two going?”

 

“Yeah. I was just about to go to the Imperial Palace.”

 

“Erita, you said you were going to have lunch with uncle, right?”

 

I nodded at my father and Aaron’s question.

 

“I heard that Marquis had just arrived.”

 

“Yes, go and have fun. If there’s anything you want, feel free to tell Seian.”

 

“Ahaha… I will!”

 

I laughed softly at my father’s words. “Of course, I don’t want to ask him to buy something for me.”

 

I also had a lot of money that I couldn’t get from somewhere, and I didn’t want to receive any more because Seian had given me so much.

 

“I don’t want to see mountains of gifts like last time again.”

 

“Then I’ll go!”

 

“We have to leave anyway, so let’s go together.”

 

“Shall we?”

 

“Have a safe trip.” Terban commented.

 

“Terban you should take a rest too.”

 

Waving gently at Terban’s greeting, I walked out of the porch with my father and Aaron’s arms linking together.

 

There were two carriages sitting right in front us waiting.

 

One was a large carriage with the patterns of our family engraved on it, and the other was a gorgeous carriage without any patterns.

 

And in front of the colorful carriage stood Seian, who was dressed in a ponytail with brown colored hair.

 

“Erita!”

 

Seian, who was fixing his clothes, came across and smiled at me with his unique innocent and bright smile.

 

“Hello, Marquis.”

 

I gently let go of my father’s and Aaron’s arms that I was holding, and I walked towards Seian.

 

“Did you sleep well? Thank you for coming today.”

 

“Oh, I like meeting the Marquis, too.”

 

Seian’s shy smile made me burst into laughter. Father and Aaron came to approach us.

 

“Seian, it seems we are invisible in your eyes.”

 

“I’m sorry, Aslan. It’s because I’m a little excited…”

 

As father spoke, Seian scratched his cheek awkwardly, perhaps embarrassed.

  

 

“It’s not that I didn’t see you.”

 

“Then I’ll go first today. I’ll see you later, Aaron.”

 

When father waved his hand, Seian answered in a bright voice.

 

Seian gestured to the coachman and opened the carriage door. He looked very happy.

 

‘Woah! The carriage looks so beautiful even inside.’ Erita exclaimed inwardly.

 

Inside, I laughed a little at the obvious reflection of my desire to ride the carriage quickly.

 

“Then I’ll go, please be careful, you two!”

 

“See you later at home.”

 

Waving at my father and Aaron, I was escorted by Seian and boarded the carriage.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

As the two horses began to run with various sounds along with Seian’s horse, the images of the two people seen through the window disappeared.

 

Then, there was a rustle from across the street.

 

I turned my head to face Seian, holding a pretty large bouquet of flowers that he had hidden.

 

“The bouquet is…”

 

My eyes widened as I muttered, Seian smiled shyly and held out a bouquet of flowers.

 

“Are you giving this to me?”

 

At my question, Seian gently lowered his gaze to the bouquet of flowers and nodded.

 

“Because you said you didn’t like presents… I prepared this because I thought it would be okay if it was a flower.”

 

Well, I told him that he didn’t have to give any more gifts from the last meeting, so I think that’s why he had prepared flowers today.

 

A handsome man who dresses up nicely and presents flowers as a gift.

 

“The flowers are so pretty! Thank you.”

 

With a bright smile, I carefully accepted the bouquet. It wasn’t an expensive gift, and I couldn’t hate the bouquet he prepared for me.

 

The scent of fragrant flowers that began to spread gently enveloped the inside of the carriage.

 

“Wow. I’ve never seen this flower before.”

 

The bouquet consisted of pastel-toned sky blue, pink, and purple flowers.

 

“These are the flowers I brought in when I went abroad. They were grown in the mansion, but Erita, they hadn’t bloomed yet when you came.”

 

“I see. You said you’ve been to many different countries, right?”

 

“Yes, I was on a small island in the south until a month ago.”

 

“I heard it’s still summer in the south.”

 

Seian nodded as he answered, recalling what he had seen in the book for a moment.

 

“That’s right. It’s always summer in the southern part of the Empire.”

 

“I want to go there again next time. It’s too cold in the north.”

 

He arranged the bouquet again, speaking in a playful tone.

 

“Of course…”

 

It was when Seian was about to say something that the coachman shouted,

 

“We’re here!”

 

The carriage stopped and at the same time as the coachman’s voice announcing the arrival.

 

“What did you say?”

 

“Oh, it’s nothing. Let’s get off now.”

 

I asked Seian what he was trying to say, but he only left with a gentle expression. Then he shook his head in excitement.

 

‘Well. It sounded like something important.’

 

But Seian didn’t seem to want to say it again.

 

‘If it’s important, he’ll tell me later.’ 

 

Deciding to hand it over lightly, I placed the flower on the seat of the carriage and followed Seian and got off the carriage.

 

Then, I could see a familiar street. I grabbed Seian’s arm naturally and started walking along with him.

 

“I made a reservation for the restaurant, can we go now?”

 

“Sure… But what kind of restaurant is it? I heard that my father also knew where it’s located.”
