The next morning.

“Madam, a letter has arrived.”

As soon as Lamein opened her eyes, Jane approached the bed and handed her an envelope.

“Thank you.”

It was a letter from Duke Haribo.

‘The reply came really fast.’

A response arrived within a day.

Anticipating that it might be due to his urgent request, she quickly opened the envelope.

With a serious expression, Lamein read the contents of the letter, and a satisfied smile spread across her face.

The letter mentioned finding a location to make the medicine. It also detailed the construction starting to disguise the perfume factory as well as working away from the palace and people’s eyes.

“I didn’t know Duke Haribo was such a driven man.”

The progress was beyond her expectations.

After carefully checking the last sentence of the letter, she neatly folded the letter and put it back into the envelope.

“Jane.”

“Yes, madam.”

Jane, who was choosing a dress from the wardrobe, turned around neatly.

“I want to learn how to ride. Do you know who would be the best teacher?”

“How to ride?”

As if it was an unexpected question, Jane raised her eyebrows.

“Actually, I fell off a horse when I was young and became scared of riding. I haven’t learned to ride since then.”

She added that she might find it strange for a noble young lady not to receive equestrian education.

Ah. Jane, who whispered quietly, seemed to be thinking and rolled her eyes. And…

“As far as I know, it is usually someone who is specifically called to handle equestrian education.”

She replied in a slightly uncertain voice, as it was not her judgment.

“I don’t want to make it a big deal.”

“Then how about learning from the Earl?”

“I thought that was the best option, but…”

Lamein, whose words trailed off, recently recalled Cedric’s busy schedule.

Unless it was early in the morning or late at night, she couldn’t see her husband’s face.

“Cedric has been so busy lately that I don’t want to burden him with more work.”

At the end of her words, Lamein, who let out a short sigh, met eyes with Jane.

At that time, when she looked as if she was asking if there wasn’t a better way.

“But may I ask why the madam suddenly wants to learn how to ride?”

Jane asked carefully, raising her eyebrows slightly.

It was an expression that seemed to suggest there was no need to ride horses.

Actually, it wasn’t something she had suddenly thought of.

Although the carriage was convenient, it had limitations on movement.

Also, she needed to prepare in advance for the increasing situations where she would have to move alone.

“Last time, when we returned from Lady Haribo’s party, there was a carriage accident. We rode horses back with Cedric at that time. It was fine because Cedric was with me, but if such a situation happens when I’m alone, it could be troublesome.”

Jane nodded quickly at the plausible explanation.

“I’ll look into it. Don’t worry about it, madam.”
I spoke to Jane with as calm a voice as possible, feeling like I burdened her with unnecessary worries.

“Yes, madam. I’ll prepare the washbasin.”

“Okay.”

Jane left the room, and Lamein, who had left the bed, headed to the window.

As she reached out to open the window, her eyes widened.

She could see her husband leaving through the main gate on horseback.

Even from a distance, the back view of her husband, who wore a knight’s uniform over well-defined muscles, was impeccable.

‘How far can this go?’

For a moment, the face of her husband, who had whispered hotly in her ear last night, came to her mind.

Lamein swallowed her breath slowly.

The vivid movement of the muscles, which squirmed against the strange and sweet sensation of sucking and swallowing lips, was still unforgettable.

Lamein’s cheeks turned red in an instant.

“Ah, it’s hot.”

Quickly opening the window, she fanned herself and took a long breath.

Although she felt like it was inevitable when looking at her husband leaving the house, she didn’t blame herself since it wasn’t her intention.

She redirected her gaze, which had been temporarily removed, to her husband, who was getting farther away.

“Are you going to the palace again today?”

At this early hour when the sun had just risen.

“I guess I’ll have to give up learning from Cedric.”

There seemed to be no need to wish for her husband leaving the house at this early hour.

“But who would be good to learn from…”

Muttering mixed with a sigh.

Knock, knock.

“Madam, everything is ready.”

“Oh, okay.”

Lamein, who momentarily erased her concerns with Jane’s voice, left the room.

Office of the Chief of Security at the Royal Palace.

The eyebrows of Chief of Security Boris Black, facing each other, shot up.

“Cedric, you’re right. I’m planning to choose someone to take over the position of Chief of Security after me.”

“As expected.”

Cedric nodded slowly.

He came to this place to confirm the truth of the rumors that Heter would succeed Boris Black as the Chief of Security.
