The man had said just that one sentence to her. He immediately left the room afterward.
Leah’s mind was in turmoil. Yet, she abruptly got up from her seat and ran to the dressing table. The reality she faced in the mirror was a shock.
‘Is that woman me?’
The woman in the mirror, looking bewildered, was Grace, whom she had seen in her dream.
She was a beauty with shining golden hair and a small stature, possessing exquisite features.
Leah tried to recall how she herself looked.
She was taller than Grace and had chocolate-colored hair.
Certainly, she had a more stubborn and stronger impression than the frailness that Grace exuded.
‘Ah! It wasn’t a dream.’
Leah collapsed on the spot, overwhelmed. Polly, noticing her state, rushed to her.
“You should rest more. Please lie down on the bed.”
Polly helped Leah back to bed. But Leah rose again, staring at Polly with a lost expression.
There was so much to ask. She didn’t know where to start, her mind in disarray.
“Polly… help me.”
“Yes? Help you? I am your maid.”
The idea of asking for help suddenly seemed strange to Polly.
“My… memory is not clear. I feel confused after being sick.”
“That’s natural. You’ve been through so much with the high fever.”
“Is my name Grace…?”
“Yes, you are Baroness Grace Bizac.”
“And this is a duke’s mansion…?”
Leah was curious about which duke’s family it was exactly.
Polly explained everything about Grace in a calm tone.
Grace was from the Lubeck Empire and had an elder brother. She was twenty years old, and her brother was twenty-five.
Grace’s brother and Duke Terun Kurtua were close friends and had been to the battlefield together.
Importantly, she mentioned that Grace and Duke Terun Kurtua were engaged.
“So… that’s it. Polly, you’ve helped me remember a bit. What day is it today?”
“Today is April 28th.”
Leah was shocked. She had married Allen on April 21st.
A week had already passed then. Leah realized she needed to confirm the most crucial fact.
“Polly, can I see the newspaper?”
“The newspaper? You don’t read them. You don’t even read books usually.”
Polly almost burst into laughter.
Grace always looked at the mirror first thing after waking up.
Her first thoughts were about how to do her makeup, what to wear, which perfume to use to impress Terun.
“Was that… so? But there must be newspapers in the duke’s mansion?”
“The duke is the one who usually reads them. He’s probably in his study now.”
Leah hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran towards the door, with Polly following in shock.
With her hair tousled, in a chemise, and barefoot, where was she going?
“Polly, where’s the study?”
“Ah, on the first floor, left corridor, next to the library.”
Leah ran down the stairs, searching for the study as Polly had directed.
Meanwhile, the servants who saw Grace were shocked. She seemed changed after her illness.
Grace was always like a freshly bloomed freesia, pure and unblemished.
Not bothering about the servants’ stares, Leah reached the study door and paused.
Catching her breath, she decided to knock, expecting someone to respond from inside.
After all, even in urgency, it was important to observe basic etiquette.
Knock knock. Leah tapped on the door, waiting for a sound from inside.
“Come in.”
As soon as she heard the voice, Leah hurriedly opened the door. Inside, she saw Duke Kurtua and two men who looked like a secretary and a butler.
All three men looked at Leah with surprised expressions.
“Grace, what’s the matter?”
Terun was shocked at the woman in front of him, wondering if she really was Grace Bizac. She had never appeared before him in such a disheveled state if not perfectly dressed.
“Duke Kurtua, I know it’s rude but I need to read the newspaper. Um, I mean, I need the newspapers for the past week.”
The butler doubted his ears. ‘Duke Kurtua?’ Grace had never addressed the duke so informally before.
Unlike the speechless Terun, the secretary and butler coughed uncomfortably as Grace stood in a chemise, her shoulders and half of her chest exposed.
Worse yet, she was barefoot, looking more like a madwoman than the demure noble lady she was known to be.
“James, give her the newspapers.”
Terun instructed the butler in a dry tone, seemingly thinking Grace was using a different approach to get his attention.
Butler James complied and handed over the newspapers.
“Thank you, James.”
“What?”
James was startled as if he heard something unbelievable. Had Grace ever thanked anyone?
Leah took the newspapers and headed back to her room on the second floor, with Polly following her like a shadow. She needed to be alone to read the newspapers.
“Polly, please leave me alone for a while.”
Leah’s hands trembled as she unfolded the newspapers by date.
Even though this was the Lubeck Empire, the papers would surely cover events from the neighboring Galdecia Empire. It was the same with any country’s newspapers. Yet, she was scared to read, fearing her worst apprehensions might become reality.
‘It’s okay! Allen is there.’
