Time passed quickly as Serena, and before she knew it, the engagement ceremony day had arrived. The white dress with the royal family’s golden emblem was roomy, even as Serena stood tall and straight.
“You are truly beautiful. How this little baby has grown so quickly.”
Anna still lovingly looked at Serena, who was much taller than herself, as if she were a baby.
“Don’t cry yet. It’s just an engagement ceremony.”
If there had been someone in her past life who had affirmed her appearance so much, could she have stood straight without shrinking?
“The Duchess should see this look, but she would be so moved that she just…….”
Serena’s mother had died in childbirth. The Duke, who had deeply loved her, never remarried, and thanks to that, Serena became the last heir of the Astel Ducal family.
“She must be watching from somewhere.”
“Perhaps, Miss, you’ve really matured recently.”
In her past life, she had no memories of being loved by her mother. Nor did she have a family who looked after and cherished her like Serena did. It was similar to her past self, yet a big difference.
“You’ve learned your manners well, and now you don’t break things around the mansion.”
“I’m 18, an adult. It’s only natural.”
Certainly, Serena had changed. She no longer hid behind curtains to play alone or hesitated to wear dresses because of her large frame. Even the tailoring of the formal dress, which Anna had worried about internally, had gone so smoothly that it was surprising.
“Yes, you’ve become an adult.”
Anna’s intuition was not wrong. The soul that dwelt in Serena had lived more than double her life; it would naturally be different. However, that also brought about more troubling problems.
“What… My fiancé is not an adult, though.”
“Miss!”
“Why, it’s true. Even if he’s the crown prince, you can’t call a mere 14yearold an adult.”
By recalling various memories and gathering information from those around her until the day of the engagement ceremony, she was able to somewhat sort out what lay ahead.
First, Serena’s fiancé for today’s engagement ceremony was Lucas Thern, the empire’s crown prince, a promising 14yearold boy born with noble blood and exceptional talent. Yes, a boy.
“A 4year age difference with your marriage partner is on the lesser side.”
“…Even if the woman is older?”
“Yes.”
In this world, it might be common sense, but thinking that her counterpart was just a 14yearold boy made the act of pledging an engagement quite awkward.
“Just 14?”
Wasn’t that the age to enter middle school, not engagement? The idea of doing anything with such a child was embarrassing enough to be ashamed of being excited to wear a formal dress.
“Of course. You know the reason for hurrying the engagement is that His Highness the Crown Prince is going to the battlefield.”
“It’s fine, he’s not fighting on a dangerous frontline.”
It was common for the men of the royal family to go to war.
“Even the current Emperor His Majesty did the same.”
“I was worried, but you really took your etiquette lessons from the palace maid seriously.”
“Yes.”
Serena answered without hesitation.
“If you think of everything as an opportunity, you want to work hard.”
No matter how much she reconsidered, there was nothing special about her past life.
Everyone pressured her to work hard, and occasionally she deluded herself into thinking she had really worked hard, but she hadn’t.
“I don’t want to regret it later.”
If there had been even one thing she had worked hard at in life, she wouldn’t have regretted it at the moment of death.
“Good words. Truly my daughter.”
Serena’s father, who had been standing behind the door earlier, nodded his head at his daughter’s resolve. The shrewd housekeeper, Anna, withdrew for a moment.
“Father…….”
Although a wanderer, the warmhearted Duke cast a shadow as large as Serena, enough to understand why she was so robust. Even when he was smiling, he was intimidating enough to frighten most people.
“Receive the greeting.”
When Serena bent her knee slightly and lifted the hem of her dress as she had learned, the Duke furrowed his thick eyebrows. Then his face hardened like a mountain of rocks.
“My goodness…….”
Those were the words Serena wanted to say. It was quite disconcerting to see a giant man tear up.
“Marianne, are you watching from the sky? Our daughter, our spirited daughter, has finally reached this decorum… Come on, come on, stand up.”
The hand of Serena’s father that grasped hers was warm.
Though his face was unfamiliar, she could feel affection from those blue eyes that matched hers.
“I was worried about how you would fare in the royal family, but now I’m at ease. Such graceful manners… This father is so moved.”
How on earth did this Ducal family raise their daughter? He was moved to tears by a courtesy she had learned in just three minutes.
“I even thought, on the way here, that if you were still flipping blankets in bed, I would have to tell His Majesty that this engagement could not be done.”
Oh dear.
