“Is it too much to ask?”

“Not at all. I’d be happy to help Lady Carina.”

Elishia grinned widely. Seeing her face, Carina seemed to sigh in relief.

“I thought you might refuse.”

“Why?”

Carina’s face fell.

“I don’t know anyone in the capital.”

In truth, neither did Elishia, who was originally Wonyoonji.

“I thought you might be offended when we ran into each other at the palace last time. I cornered you as if you had lied to me.”

“You might well have been upset. I also felt heavyhearted because I think I inconvenienced you with my imperfect memory.”

I don’t know what Elishia used to do or how she lived. She rarely came out in Hadyunsha, and even met her parents only within that place when they requested individual interviews like ordinary believers.

I can’t even imagine such a life, let alone acting like Elishia.

“Then I’ll forgive you for lying to me before if you help me. How about it?”

“Sure.”

Elishia nodded.

“Can I call you by your name?”

“Yes. Carina. Let’s be comfortable with each other.”

Having said all she wanted, Carina looked more relaxed and sipped her tea with a softer face than before.

‘Is this the heroine’s buff?’

She was supposed to have grown up in a rural area far from the capital, with no territory and only the name of a baronet’s daughter. But how could she take a sip of tea with such a perfect posture that spontaneous praise sprang up?

‘If Madame Oje had seen it, she would have nagged for three hours.’

A chaperone was not needed in a ladies’ meeting.

But Carina looked perfect, like a textbook, to Elishia’s eyes, who had become a standard for the flawless posture of a desirable lady from hearing daily nagging about incorrect posture while learning manners from Madame Oje.

‘It’s really going well.’

How could the timing be so good?

According to Bernard’s words, the archduke, who looked like a wild beast on a bloodsoaked battlefield, didn’t he seem like a withered branch frostbitten when in front of the capital’s society ladies?

It was still green and pitiable, stagnant, and devoid of hope, he said.

Ileon’s awakening was due to ‘Rona’, but she was a wrongly involved character. Moreover, she couldn’t even claim to be Rona.

And the possessed Elishia was a character with a definite dead flag.

But if Ileon and Carina went well and she saw the original ending, she could return to her original world.

A cityscape spread with bright lights as if the Milky Way of the night sea had been moved, and the busy days with shopping cart play one month before Black Friday sale.

Back to Wonyoonji’s daily life.

‘The important thing here is that to see that ending, I have to survive.’

Now it seemed that she might not need to worry as long as she avoided Saviel, since information was lacking.

One good thing was that it didn’t seem like Saviel would be chosen by Carina even if she didn’t die.

They say that if a woman harbors resentment, frost falls.

To Carina, who was clinging to him in the palace, talking about Ileon, Saviel seemed to be out of her mind.

“You were right. I regret it.”

“I ignored you because I thought your words were unreasonable. I… I believed that my choice was right. You didn’t meet him in person.”

“Please, I want to know if I have a chance to turn fate around. I want to know if I can start again.”

She even looked a bit desperate. She seemed to regret meeting Saviel and was eager to continue her relationship with Ileon.

‘Anyway, it’s lucky for me.’
Originally, in the original work, Elysia’s death was used as a device to prevent Carina from choosing Crown Prince Saviel, and if she just stuck with Elleon and the two ate well and lived well, and he became the emperor, a precious return ticket would fall into her hands.

“Then please take care, Elysia.”

“Okay, Carina.”

Elysia, smiling at Carina, gathered her courage.

It was after she drank tea and saw Carina off and turned around.

“Elysia.”

She thought she needed to rest, and went back to her room, but Mariella was there without any reason.

“Mother, you should have called me. I would have gone straight to you.”

“No, I was just thinking a lot.”

“What’s the matter?”

Mariella’s face seemed a bit painful as she bit her lower lip.

“Why are you doing that?”

“……That woman. No, did Carina say anything to you?”

“What?”

“She suddenly came to see you. There’s no reason for her to do that.”

Elysia felt strange. It had been the same before, when Elleon had visited not long ago.

“What did you talk about?”

Elysia let out a short sigh as she looked at Mariella, who insisted on knowing every move of her daughter.

(This is a time separator.)

Eleven Clement, the unique Archduke of the Constance Empire.

It had been several days since he visited the Duke’s residence daily. He came to the Duke’s house to see Elysia, drink tea, read books together, or take a walk in the garden, and then left. Today, after the Archduke left, Lady Oje went to Mariella’s room.

“What do you think?”

Lady Oje, responding to Mariella’s question, looked a bit flushed.
