He had been ignoring and refusing treatment to Lina and Mei, the wandering ones among the mansion’s young maids, for a long time.
‘What should I do? Should I tell the Lord?’
But even if she did tell the Lord, he would probably just apply some ointment and finish the treatment hastily. Lina examined Mei’s ankle.
‘The wound doesn’t look too severe; this should heal quickly with Forinen herbs.’
Thinking that telling the Lord would only delay the treatment, Lina decided to dig for herbs in the Alina Forest behind the mansion.
“Mei. Wait here for a while; I’ll be right back from Alina Forest.”
“What? No, Lina! Alina Forest! That’s where the ghosts of the former Duke and Duchess are said to appear! I’m fine; surely if we tell the Lord, he will……!”
“When will you get treated if you tell the Lord? And do you think Hans will treat us properly even if the Lord or the butler come? He’ll probably pretend to treat and quickly pass us by with some wrong prescription. I can take care of this, so don’t worry. I’ll quickly go to the forest and dig up the necessary herbs.”
“But, Lina……”
Lina smiled and patted the worried Mei’s head.

“And ghosts, come on, there’s no such thing.”
[This is the time separator]Caw caw.
The bravely shouting Lina regretted it as soon as she arrived at Alina Forest.
The crows’ cries echoing in the uninhabited forest added to the gloom.
“It’s darker than I thought? It feels a bit chilly too……”
Lina hurried her steps, rubbing her arms with both hands due to the cool air brushing her skin.
However, she failed to see the tree root stretched out on the ground and tripped over it.
“Ugh.”
Falling into a pile of dirt, her once white apron was now a mess.

“Sigh. This won’t work. It’s too dark to tell if it’s a herb or a weed, and I won’t have any energy left to look for herbs at this rate. Normally, I wouldn’t use magic within the mansion…… but this place is rarely visited by people, so it should be fine?”
Looking around, Lina picked up a thin branch lying on the ground.
[Fortismos.]Lina held the branch and whispered the spell. Then, light burst from the end of the branch, and the surroundings began to brighten.
“Phew. Now I can see something.”
With a satisfied expression, she looked around again.
Lina realized not long after she became immortal that she had a bit of magic within her.
And the magic greatly aided her in living through 400 years. But in these modern times, revealing the use of magic was something that couldn’t be disclosed, so she rarely used magic.
“Still, thanks to using magic, they didn’t find out about my immortal body.”
Had she been found out, she could have been dragged to a tower and become a dreadful test subject.

Because of this, Lina couldn’t stay in one place for too long or live a conspicuous life.
Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to become a noblewoman by using magic, flaunting her status, or earn money to live a comfortable life.
“I have actually lived that kind of life.”
But the life of a noblewoman or a wealthy merchant had too much risk of revealing her identity. In order not to be discovered as ageless, she had to periodically launder her identity, and a highranking person disappearing was more troublesome than one might think.
Whether a sudden death or disappearance, it always attracted much attention. On the other hand, no one cared if a common girl disappeared.
So what she chose was to be a maid. Like now, as a young common girl, the life that most of them lived. One among the many maids working in a noble’s house.
Lina was only snapped out of her reverie when she found the Purinen glowing purple among the weeds.
“I found it. I might need it again later, so I should take some extra. I don’t want to come back here.”
As she spent quite a while plucking the petals of the Purinen, a rustling noise sounded behind her.
“Could it be?”

Startled by the sudden noise, Lina hurriedly gathered her magic.
Then her previously bright view darkened as if it had never been there. Lina swallowed as she stared in the direction of the sound.
“Is someone there…?”
She felt an unknown something gradually approaching her. Her mind was instantly muddled with confusion and bewilderment.
[That place is the forest where the ghosts of the former Duke and Duchess are said to appear…!]The words that Meiy had said began to echo in her ears.
“Ah, no way…”
But after remembering Meiy’s words, cold sweat broke out, and a trickle of sweat began to run down her back.
An inexplicable chill made Lina’s shoulders tremble.
“I must get out of here quickly!”

Thinking she needed to get out of the forest as soon as possible, she quickly gathered the petals.
Soon, the moment she took a step towards the mansion, a strange sensation covered Lina’s hand.
With a hard, rough feeling, her body was turned back by the force pulling it.
Then the Purinen she was holding fell to the ground.
“Ah.”
With a surprised, small exclamation, she stopped breathing as if she had forgotten to breathe.
Only heavy silence flowed through the air, and the wind gently approached, lifting the fallen petals.
Among the fluttering purple petals of the Purinen, the figure of a man looking at her with penetrating eyes somehow didn’t feel unfamiliar.
Perhaps if a stranger saw this scene, they would think it was quite romantic.
Or if she had been an ordinary woman, she might have been thrilled at the sight of the handsome man standing before her.

“No, even if she wasn’t an ordinary woman… at least if he was a man she was seeing for the first time, her face would have blushed shyly.”
Yes, if this had been their first meeting.

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
