Mina’s voice was unnaturally high, almost as if she was accusing me.
“Of course! I’d be upset too if my family returned to my marital home as soon as I left!”
“…”
“Definitely! Absolutely not because you’re mean or bad, no…”
Despite her oddly backhanded consolation, Mina and the others seemed to think I was enraged about Bianca’s return.
My uncontrollable facial muscles must have fueled their misunderstanding.
‘Well, it makes sense for them to think that way.’
In the original story, Rebecca detested Bianca, which meant Bianca must be afraid of me now.
If that were true, I might not even get a chance to see her adorable smile or talk to her…
“No way… I can’t accept that…”
As I muttered in despair, Mina too looked on the verge of tears.
“Don’t worry, Grand Duchess! I’ll make sure to convey your feelings to the Mansion of Light!”
“What will you convey?”
“Bianca is still young, she might make mistakes!”
Determined, Mina clenched her fists and nodded vigorously.
“If by any chance… she tries to come near you, I’ll make sure she absolutely, definitely can’t!”
“What…?”
“I’ll go right now to the Mansion of Light and beg on my knees to make sure…”
“No! Absolutely not!”
I stood up, shouting, and Mina’s eyes widened in shock.
‘Oh, Mina… You should be begging for her to come near me, not the other way around…’
I managed to calm my startled heart and firmly grasped Mina’s hands.
“Mina, listen carefully. I plan to get along well with Lady Bianca from now on.”
“…Excuse me?”
Mina let out a nervous chuckle, her face reading, ‘Did I hear that right?’
“I’m thinking of mending my relationship with Lady Bianca. So, make sure you don’t do anything to hinder me. Understand?”
“Ah? Yes…”
Mina still looked unconvinced.
And so did the other maids around us.
They might still think I’m up to no good, but they’ll see in time.
“I should be going now.”
I hurriedly stood up after checking the time.
“Mina, go to Adrian right now and tell him to bring what I asked for to the Mansion of Light as soon as it’s ready.”
It was almost time for Bianca’s arrival.
As I hastened to the Mansion of Light, I saw a line of senior servants standing in front of the main gate.
And there was Sedrick, conversing with his aide.
‘It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him.’
Sedrick looked the same as the last time I saw him.
The suit suited his physique, his languid attitude, and the subtle air of tension he always carried.
Seeing him, Sedrick’s captivating gaze from our encounter on the path flashed through my mind.
‘Is he… ready to let me go?’
That’s when I hesitated.
“Rebecca, you’ve come.”
Sedrick, noticing me, subtly gestured for me to stand beside him.
As I approached Sedrick, the servants behind him lowered their heads, fear evident in their faces.
“Sedrick, have you been well?”
“…Thanks to you. You seem to be doing well yourself.”
I naturally moved closer to Sedrick.
Soon after, Adrian, following me, placed the gift I had ordered in front of Sedrick and me.
It was a grand floral arrangement in the shape of Bianca’s initials, specially ordered from Adrian.
“I thought Bianca’s welcome event seemed a bit bare. So, I asked Adrian to prepare this wreath.”
Everyone present alternated their gaze between the wreath and me, apparently surprised that I had not only attended Bianca’s welcome but also prepared a welcoming wreath.
However, curiously, Sedrick’s attention was constantly on Adrian.
Even as Adrian walked towards the group of servants, Sedrick kept his gaze fixed on him.
‘Hmm, it seems like Sedrick is envious of my competent butler… Maybe it’s time to brag a little?’
I slightly turned my head towards Adrian and resumed speaking.
“Adrian is quite skilled, you know. He knows my tastes well and I can trust him completely.”
“…Our?”
Sedrick’s attractive deep voice made me turn back around, meeting his eyes directly.
His piercing gaze felt almost sensuous.
“No.”
“…?”
“You don’t like lilies.”
Sedrick’s lips parted slowly once more.
“Regrettably, it seems ‘your’ Adrian knows less about you than I do.”
