“Looks like the days have gotten much colder. Always be careful not to catch a cold.”

The Siren Marquis’s replies were always concise. Yet, after reading them all, a faint smile would appear on Reneve’s face. Although generally consisting of simple sentences, Reneve could feel how much the Siren Marquis cherished her.

“Miss.”

“…?”

At Amber’s voice, Reneve, who had already looked away from the letter from the Siren Marquis she had read several times, turned her head.

“Do the lord and lady think you have a very large body? Or do they think you sleep by layering three blankets?”

Amber pointed to the piled-up blankets on the floor.

The Siren Marquis’s health letters were very short and concise, but the gifts he sent were not.

“Well… Even if I cover myself for a lifetime, it won’t be enough.”

It was a bit exaggerated, but Kieren’s words were not wrong at all.

“Besides, it seems that Lord Patrick thinks there are no trees or mountains in Baskerville.”

Amber said, pushing a cart full of firewood toward the warehouse.

Reneve chuckled awkwardly.

Reneve was also a bit awkward with the gifts her family had sent. The eccentric one wasn’t just the Siren Marquis.

“Reneve, since you’re frail, especially in weather like this, it’s good to be careful not to let the firewood in the fireplace go out.”

Patrick sent an enormous amount of dry firewood.

It was suspected that all the trees in the Siren Marquis’s territory had been cut down.

As a result, the bedroom storage was filled with dry firewood, and the guest room was filled with blankets.

Watching Amber and Kieren move dry firewood and blankets into the bedroom, Reneve scratched her cheek awkwardly.

“A bit… There’s something different.”

Come to think of it, there were such things even before the regression.

Reneve never told the Siren Marquis what she wanted first.

Whether she wanted something, wanted to go somewhere, or wanted to eat something.

But once, she mentioned playing with dolls. It was mainly to distract him, but the Siren Marquis took it differently.

On the way back from the Siren Marquis territory to Paradisium, the Siren Marquis brought a cart full of dolls.

At that time, she only thought that the Siren Marquis was trying to torment her.

Among the various dolls, there were quite a few with unpleasant tastes mixed in.

Now she knew it was the Siren Marquis’s clumsy expression of affection.

Lost in thought about her father’s expression of affection, Kieren, who had been moving briskly, suddenly stopped.

“Huh? It looks like someone is outside. I’ll go check and come back.”

At her sudden words, Reneve grinned.

‘I didn’t hear anything.’

While Kieren, who was in the middle of cleaning up the blankets, was walking toward the entrance, a knocking sound was heard.

Reneve didn’t pay attention to that side and sat in front of the table, pondering what to write in response to the letter to the Siren Marquis.

Amber, who came after hearing from Kieren what had happened, said, “Miss, a letter has arrived from the Siren Marquis.”

It was strange.

She had just confirmed the letter and gifts that had arrived from the Siren Marquis territory a while ago. Why another letter?

Reneve chuckled and accepted the letter that Amber handed her.

“For a while, it seems that a prompt reply to the letter will be difficult. It’s a hastily made decision…”

It was a simple message saying that he had set out under the name of the Paradisium Emperor for a certain period, but Reneve was convinced.

That the Siren Marquis had set out to subdue southern pirates.

“Miss? Why like that?”

Suppressing her uneasy feelings, Reneve casually replied to Amber’s question.

“My father has set out under the imperial order.”

“Ah…”

Amber sighed and shook her head.

In fact, before the regression, Reneve didn’t think much of the Siren Marquis’s current expedition.
Southern pirates occasionally appeared, attacking merchant ships and fishermen, becoming a nuisance to forget. However, there was no perception of significant danger. The knights of the Bongshin family, who were nagging about going out to eliminate pirates, were rebuked by the Siren Marquis, saying it was underestimating the power of the Siren Marquis’s family. It was a bit troublesome, but from the Siren Marquis’s perspective, it was not a complete loss. The Southern Aristocratic Coalition in Paradisium had long considered the Siren Marquis a thorn in their side. They believed that if the Siren Marquis could eradicate the pirates, which were a headache for the southern nobles, relations with them could improve. That is if Juanmuqi, who received help but pretended not to know, was not involved. At that time, no one knew, not even Reneve. No one thought that the Siren Marquis would perish on a mission considered low-risk.

“I need to go out for a moment.”

Reneve hurriedly went to the toilet room to prepare for her outing.

“Your Majesty, how about taking a break while you work?”

Vain placed a cup of coffee so strong that it would wake up Ikarr, and said.
