Once, the commotion delayed the start of the prayer meeting.

Because the people of the Angelos family all kicked the well and left, the clergy said they had no choice but to wait for them. The lord must attend the prayer meeting or something.

Ultimately, it seemed like the prayer meeting started late because of me, but the cause was entirely with Dorothea Angelos.

“Why did you bother someone who was standing still?”

I am doing my best to stay out of sight.

It was already bothersome with some Savior’s talk making my head ache, and now it’s even more annoying with a quarrel on top of it.

The duchess, who had been wearing an expression of interest all along, approached with a smile and asked.

“I thought it was strange that the skin disease had healed, but I never expected that you had cast a welcoming spell on the earring. How on earth did you know?”

“I didn’t know either. I just tried to tear something off, and that’s what happened.”

Ahaha. Haha.

I mumbled with an awkward laugh, in case further questioning would be troublesome.

Fortunately, the lady seemed to want to ask something but just let it go.

“That’s right. You were lucky. Thanks to you, I had an interesting sight.”

“Yes. Lady Angelos must also have a magical tool for welcoming spells, right?”

“Probably Elodie put it on the ring you asked for. It was shameful how it turned all white.”

Thinking back to that time, the duchess chuckled playfully. Well, it was a pleasure to anyone.

While waiting endlessly for Duke Angelos to return, I felt a piercing, intense gaze.

Unintentionally turning my head in that direction, I narrowed my eyes.

“Why is he looking at me like that?”

Surely, Seberus’ duke’s representative, who seemed to be a complete stranger to me, was staring at me excessively.

From the way he openly stared, it seemed like there was a reason.

As gloomy as anyone could be, Yansi must surely know information about that man.

When I slightly pulled Yansi’s sleeve, he looked down at me with a bright smile.

“What is it, Liri?”

“Big brother, do you know who that person is? I feel like I’ve never seen him before….”

Yansi seemed to harden his expression for a moment when he saw where I had glanced, but it must be a mistake?

“The representative of the Seberus family?”

“Yes.”

“Felix Hiklmaier. He attended as the Duke of Seberus’ representative and is his nephew. He’s the head of the Hiklmaier count’s family and mainly stays in his domain, so it’s natural you haven’t seen him.”

“Aha, I see.”

“Why? Interested?”

Yansi asked, smiling kindly as always.

Interest, interest?

Understanding what that meant, I responded with disgust.

“Eek, no?!”

If he’s the Duke of Seberus’ nephew, he would be my cousin’s older brother, so interest…?!

“Too bad. He seems interested in you.”

Yansi’s laughter seemed deeper than before, but why?

“No way.”

An uncovered fact, but that was impossible.

He wouldn’t know I’m his cousin’s sister.

…Wait.

‘No, he might know.’

There wasn’t much information known about the Duke of Seberus in public.

He had received legitimate successor training from a young age and ascended to the dukedom before turning twenty.

I had heard stories about a platinumhaired, bright redeyed, and most of all, righteous man.

He had hidden his appearance around 20 years ago.

Rumors spread that he had fallen into a comatose state, but the family never clarified.

Maybe. Before falling into a coma, the Duke of Seberus might have spoken about my mother to people around him.

‘He might not have known that mom was pregnant.’

Perhaps I could be recognized as the daughter of the Duke of Seberus.

This matter needed more careful approach. It wasn’t something to rush into carelessly.

Turning my gaze again, our eyes met squarely. But the man didn’t flinch; he even smiled with interest.

His relaxed attitude had me repeating the man’s name in my heart.

‘Felix Hiklmaier.’
While searching in my mind to see if it was a name that had appeared in the original work, Carlott approached subtly and quietly asked,

“Why is that, sister. You don’t like that brat? Shall I hit, no, take care of him?”

“Just be still, Carl.”

Whether it’s Reian or Carlott, why can’t they be gotten rid of and can’t be beaten, creating chaos?

“Tell me if you need it.”

“Yes. If I need it.”

Though it seems like the moment when your strength will be needed will never come.

While paying attention to the meaningful gaze of a man named Felix, Duke Angelos’ appearance was suddenly revealed at the spring.

Since much time had already passed, the deputy minister also immediately entered the spring.

Gradually, the time of twilight shadowed like an awning.

The white temple building and the calm surface of the spring water were dyed with colorful shades of pink.

The nameless flowers blooming everywhere swayed in the wind, creating a dreamlike spectacle.

‘It’s beautiful. Even more so since I think I won’t be able to come here again.’
