“Espen wanted to monopolize everything about Lady Marian. As a result, only the minimum information was released publicly.”

I opened my mouth in amazement at her words.

“Wait, did he want to monopolize even my information? I can’t understand that. I can’t believe he went to such lengths!”

It was difficult to understand that greed. I furrowed my brow.

“If it was me and the person I loved died in such a way, I would want everyone to know what that person did. What on earth was he thinking?”

“Maybe he just wanted to keep everything about you to himself?”

“I can’t comprehend that sentiment.”

“If you could understand that, it would mean you’re the same kind of person.”

“Hmm.”

Evelyn’s words were correct. I couldn’t argue back and remained silent.

Evelyn covered her lips and smiled gracefully.
“Anyway, thanks to that, there are quite detailed records about you in the royal archives. It seems Lulu was your direct maid, right? There are many sentences mentioning that she cried a lot.”

“Oh, Lulu…”

A name I never imagined I would hear came up, and I stopped walking for a moment, staring blankly.

‘Lulu.’

Evelyn was looking at me as if she were worried. I gave an awkward smile.

“I can’t deny that it’s exaggerated records. Right. Everything was my doing. I felt sorry for Lulu.”

Lulu was both my personal maid and the daughter of the wet nurse. Even though it happened a hundred years ago, the memories were as vivid as yesterday, so it wasn’t difficult to recall things about Lulu.

“Lulu used to cry a lot. I don’t know how much she cried when I told her I was going to the battlefield. She cried so much that it got to the point where the Empress got angry, telling her to stop crying.”

The coronation ceremony had to be serious, but the sight was so comical that I could laugh. Later, I elegantly kissed Lulu’s hand, promising to come back alive. Lulu blushed awkwardly and couldn’t stop tears until I left.

Thinking of Lulu, I chuckled.

“Thanks to such people, I could go to fight with courage. Thinking of protecting them gave me the courage I didn’t have before.”

Who wouldn’t be scared of the battlefield? It was my first time in the battlefield as well. Until then, I had never thought of attacking someone with my flames.

‘Recalling Lulu makes me feel nostalgic again.’

When I was young, I used to run around this palace so energetically. Lulu couldn’t stand still, worried that I might get into trouble, always following me.

‘If I close my eyes, it feels like Lulu will start talking to me again.’

But they all existed in the past, and I was living alone a hundred years into the future. I looked back at Evelyn, who reminded me of memories.

“I want to go to that archives. Can I go in?”

“Of course. I will guide you right away.”

Since there was nothing else to do except collecting rumors, I turned towards my archive room in the royal palace with Evelyn.

Moving my steps, I shrugged.

“It’s quite touching to know that there are people who recorded about me. I thought everyone would have completely forgotten about me.”

Evelyn shook her head.

“Impossible. Even the master has talked a lot about Lady Marian.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes, especially about how you dislike bugs.”

“Ugh. Why would he tell such a story?”

Among many events, why bugs?

‘I saved him from bugs several times. He should tell a more impressive story.’

Thinking like that inwardly, I pursed my lips and couldn’t help bursting into laughter.
“But yeah, I remember when I became a ladybug, Yul’s story about bugs was the most memorable.”

I remembered when I became a ladybug, Yulnysia said we needed to create a recipe for bugs.

It happened while Evelyn and I were discussing Yulnysia.

“Excuse me for interrupting your conversation, but I can’t understand what you’re talking about. If I listen to the whole story now, does it sound like Lady Marian, who led the military to reclaim territories a hundred years ago, is speaking?”

Sesil seems smarter the more you look at her. Normally, even if she hears the whole story, she shouldn’t deduce that I am a person from a hundred years ago.

I nodded firmly. In the current situation, there was no need to hide anything.

“That’s right, it’s me.”

“What?”

As I confirmed the truth, Sesil’s face turned pale. Then, as if she couldn’t believe it, she screamed.

“What the heck?!”

I burst into laughter, finding the situation amusing.
