“Pwoo.”
The second train departed. The train leaving from Philia Lake Station was incomparably more comfortable than the previous one I had been on. It had to be. This train belonged to the highest class.
Trains running through the central region and the capital are divided into three classes according to the passengers’ ranks.
There is the luxury express train for the royal family and high nobility, the standard express train for the general nobility, and the slow train for the lesser nobility and commoners.
The first two types of trains, using high-grade magic stones as fuel, significantly reduce travel time, making them three times faster.
The difference between the express and slow trains lies in the magic stones used as fuel. The price of magic stones used in the express and standard lines differs by at least four times.
Naturally, the maximum output produced by the more expensive magic stones is far superior, resulting in a clear distinction in the passengers who can afford them.
Although not legally mandated, the exorbitant cost of these trains means that only the wealthiest nobles and royals can afford them, naturally segregating passengers by class.
Well, the Urentum train, being the only one of its kind, doesn’t fall into the categories of express or slow trains.
“Good trains really are different. Definitely.”
Thanks to the discretion of the station master, Carl and Celeste’s group was able to board the most modern and expensive of the luxury express trains. It was only natural since they were accompanied by the Grand Duke, the second-highest-ranking person after the Emperor.
When I was escaping to Urentum, I neither thought nor even knew about such luxurious trains.
“Did you enjoy your sightseeing? I should have stuck by Count’s side, but since Lady Valerie was there…….”
Hanna asked, and I replied while unloading the things we bought.
“Right. If we had more time, it would have been nice for Hanna to also have a look around the market.”
“No, not at all. You know my family home was right next to the market, right? I’ve grown up seeing it my whole life.”
“Still, I feel bad for leaving you to work while I enjoyed myself.”
Hanna Camellia, the first aide to Count Louizet. She’s a person of incredible responsibility and dedication. Since I incarnated into Celeste, there have hardly been times when I was apart from Hanna.
We were only apart when I deliberately dodged her for some solo ventures and when Hanna recently visited the Count’s manor. But even that didn’t happen more than twice.
Hanna left me alone, even for just 30 minutes, to see Valerie. After all, the child of one’s lord is as important as the lord themselves. Given that he’ll eventually be a Viscount, it was only right to treat him with utmost care.
“Anyway, this is my first time on such a nice train, my lord.”
“Is it?”
Leaving on a shabby train and returning on a luxurious one did feel like a grand homecoming.
“Aren’t you the first aide to the Louizet family, and yet this is your first time on such a train?”
“When the previous Count was alive, I wasn’t an aide, and since you inherited the title, we’ve only stayed in the mansion in the capital. There was never an occasion to take a train.”
“I see.”
“I was so shocked when you woke up from a ten-day coma after the carriage accident and suddenly decided to leave for a retreat. It was as if you had become a different person.”
It seemed that the ‘real’ Celeste had a carriage accident around the time I incarnated into her.
She had been unconscious for ten days after a severe head injury. Considering Hanna’s remark about how the Count changed after this incident, it’s likely the original Celeste fell into a vegetative or brain-dead state, and that’s when I took over her life.
“Ha. Ha. Ha.”
I laughed awkwardly.
Celeste was a true city girl. It’s surprising that she never left the capital, given the many villas owned by the Count’s family across the country.
“What are all those things, Count?”
With the train having departed and Valerie playing on her own, I could relax. I began setting up the things I bought on the built-in table to the left of the bed compartment.
My mouth watered as I took out the pie that had been tempting me since I first saw it.
“Mmm, smells good.”
As they say, food that looks good also tastes good, and this pie, topped generously with fruits resembling strawberries, was appetizing.
I found a fork and knife in the shelf above the table.
I cut a piece, transferred it to a plate in front of me, cut it into a bite-sized portion…
Bang!
“Uwaaah!”
I was about to take a bite of the pie when a loud noise and a child’s cry burst out.
“Uwaaah, Mamma, Mommy…”
Turning around, I saw Valerie had risen from her spot and knocked over a chair near the wall at the end of the bed, now crying.
“Can’t I even have a peaceful bite of my snack…?”
A toddler in the throes of learning to walk is an entity that cannot be left unattended. In just a moment, if you take your eyes off, they’re bound to fall, knock something over, get hurt, and cry.
“Mamma, Mommy, Uwaaah.”

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
