The carriage carrying Adele and Tanya was leaving the Oswald Mansion.

“Adele!”

At the thunderous voice, Adele looked out of the carriage window.

A large man with flowing blonde hair was standing there. It was Jennifer.

Afterward, Adele also recognized some knights from the familiar W.G. 1st Division.

“Stop for a moment.”

As Adele got off the carriage, Jennifer and the knights approached.

“Are you alright? No, how did you get these injuries!”

Jennifer, after seeing the wounds on Adele’s body, jumped back.

“They are minor wounds and will heal quickly. But how did you…?”

“We heard rumors that Miss Adele was kidnapped, so we were waiting to rush in. Somehow, the commander got wind of it and sent an order to escort Miss Adele.”

“The Earl?”

Christine had gone to the palace a little while ago for a report on the captured culprit.

Zimmer approached with the guard.

“I have to go into the palace now.”

“Oh, I see. But there’s no need for an escort like this…”

Adele apologized, and Jennifer said, “No, Miss Adele is my precious disciple. If anything had happened to her, Oswald might have crumbled to dust in my hands.”

Seeing the energy emanating from Jennifer’s eyes, Adele quickly smiled.

“Just your concern is enough, Master.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

Hahaha, laughing heartily, Jennifer patted her chest.

“Now, leave Miss Adele’s escort to me, and you go quickly, Zimmer!”

When Zimmer ran away with the guards, Jennifer, with a serious expression, commanded her subordinates.

“Everyone, escort Miss Adele. Full escort formation!”

“Full escort formation!”

At the thunderous command, the soldiers completely surrounded Adele’s carriage.

Adele got back into the carriage tremblingly.

“Who are they?”

Tanya, who had been waiting with a curious face inside the carriage, asked.

“They are knights who will escort us to our house.”

“Our house?”

“Sorry, Miss’s house. It’s the most comfortable place for me.”

Adele smiled and nodded, “I’m most comfortable there too. Let’s go together, Tanya.”

“Miss is coming too?”

“Well, it’s our house, isn’t it?”
When Adele arrived at the mansion she used to live in, Mia came out to greet her.

“Mia!”

“I heard you were coming and hurriedly came out.”

“Your body must be tired, why bother?”

“It’s just next door. Besides, Mark needs a lot of exercise. Lately, he’s gained too much weight.”

Although Mia’s belly hadn’t bulged yet, she looked quite pregnant.

“Welcome, Miss Adele.”

“Welcome, Miss.”

Soon, the sound of the carriage was heard, and Henry and several other servants came out of the mansion to welcome her.

“What happened to all of you?”

Adele asked perplexedly, and Henry replied.

“Lord sent an order that Miss Adele will be staying here for a few days.”

“Thank you, Henry.”

“Well, let’s go inside and have a meal. Would you like to join us, Mrs. Bonita?”

“Oh my, were you planning to starve a pregnant woman?”

Then Jennifer, who was standing behind, coughed slightly and interjected.

“Hmm, now that I think about it, it’s already time for dinner…”

Adele asked Henry softly.

“Henry, can we all have dinner together today?”

“Together, you say?”

“Exactly, all together at one table.”

“Even us?”

“Of course.”

“No, it’s not appropriate…”

“Sometimes breaking the formality is fun.”

“I’ll help too!”

When Tanya joined in, everyone gathered their voices and shouted.

“No! You rest!”

The dinner, which started in the early evening, continued until late at night.

Everyone prepared the meal together.

The dining table in the restaurant was moved to the living room, but it was not enough, so the knights quickly made makeshift tables and chairs.

Adele spread the well-washed curtains as tablecloths, Mia brought flowers from home and decorated them. Henry, in place of a lacking candlestick, placed candles on the tea cup holder.

In the meantime, dishes came out one by one from the kitchen.

It was a sudden party, so there were no special dishes, but everyone ate and chatted joyfully without thinking. In the intoxicated atmosphere, anyone who spoke was pleased and laughed loudly.

“Are you okay? If it’s hard, go inside and rest.”

Amidst all this, Adele was concerned about Tanya.

However, Tanya shook her head excitedly and whispered softly.

“I’m really happy right now. It’s my first time having such a lively and enjoyable meal.”

Tanya’s face, reminiscent of happiness, looked genuinely happy. As if she had forgotten all the horrifying memories of today.

Perhaps it was better this way. This lively and pleasant atmosphere might be able to cover up her terrifying memories.

“Yeah, now that I think about it, it’s been a while.”

When Adele’s mother was alive, there were sometimes gatherings like this. On days with the village festival, everyone would gather to laugh, make noise, and enjoy themselves. If the adults were excited, the children would naturally get excited too.

Adele regretted that Kristin was not present in this gathering.
