I was too tired that day and went straight home.
I did not have that much energy left to converse with everyone.
Uncle Will’s death had taken a pretty big toll on me. Even though I was acting strong, my heart was crying.
I remembered getting on the carriage in a daze. I did not remember what happened after I got on the carriage, but…
Was it Big Brother Albert who carried me to my room when I fell asleep?
Maybe it was Big Brother Henry. Well, it didn’t matter.
I awoke from my bed and reached for the ceiling.
“I guess I feel at home in my own room after all.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI looked around the room, which had not changed at all from before.
All the fatigue of yesterday was gone. I’ve regained my strength…but the mental aspect was still difficult.
Losing Uncle Will was like a gaping hole in my heart. I thought it would take a while to make up for this loss.
I got off the bed and approached the window. The morning sun was shining on the garden.
It was a pleasant morning. Maybe I should practice my sword…
I could see the maids moving about in the morning. From above, I could see the movements of the people in the house.
The gardener was cleaning the house’s flower beds early in the morning, and the maids had started hanging out the laundry.
I realized that the world continued to move even after the death of a loved one.
The sound of the door to the room echoes.
“Lady Alicia, this is Rosetta.”
I felt my heart warm at the sound of a voice I had not heard in a long time.
“Rosetta!”
The door opened at the same time I said that. I ran up to her.
I hugged her. Roze also hugged me and said, “Young Lady”.
Oh, how I missed her.
I didn’t have to be so tense in front of Roze. She’s the closest thing I’ve had to an attendant since I was a little girl.
“You’ve changed a lot, young lady.”
Roze, who said that, had not changed at all.
She had remained the same ever since I was a little girl. That’s why I felt at ease.
“Really?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe nodded.
“Yes! You have become more dignified, or rather, more beautiful. I think someone like you can be called a beauty with a strong personality.”
“I’m still such a novice.”
“…What are you talking about? If you are immature, then all mankind is a baby.”
Rosetta said this with a straight face.
I almost burst out laughing at her words. I hoped she would remain who she is from now on.
“Roze, you are my most trusted attendant.”
I smiled at her, and Roze’s expression suddenly turned red.
Oh, she did have a cute side, didn’t she?
“My Lady, that’s not fair.”
Roze paused for a moment, then said.
“I’m on your side no matter what.”
I understood that there was no lie in her words. Roze’s straightforwardness saved me a little.
Thank you, I muttered in a quiet voice that Roze could barely hear.
