Choo-choo.

The second train departed. The train departing from Filia Lake Station was incomparably more comfortable than the previous train I had taken. Of course it would be. This train belonged to the highest class of trains.

The trains passing through the central region and the capital were divided into three classes according to the passenger’s status.

There were the high-speed luxury trains used by the imperial family and high nobility, the regular express trains used by ordinary nobility, and the low-speed trains that could be used by quasi-nobility and commoners.

The first two types of trains were express trains that used high-quality magic stones as raw materials to shorten the travel time by more than three times.

The difference between express and low-speed trains depended on the magic stones used as raw materials. The price of the magic stones used in express lines and regular lines differed by at least four times.

Naturally, since the expensive magic stones had far superior maximum output compared to the lower ones, the passengers who could use them were also divided.

Although the law did not stipulate the class of train usage, only the wealth of high nobility and the imperial family could afford to board these tremendously expensive trains, so the passenger class was naturally divided as well.

Well, since there was only one train in Urentum, it didn’t belong to the categories of express or low-speed trains.

“A good train is different. Definitely.”

Thanks to the station master’s discretion, Carl and Celeste’s group was able to board the most state-of-the-art and most expensive train among the high-speed luxury trains. It was only natural since His Highness the Grand Duke, who ranked second only to the Emperor, had arrived.

When going down to Urentum, we moved almost like we were running away, so I couldn’t even think of boarding such an expensive train, let alone know of its existence.

“Did you have a good time sightseeing? I should have stayed close by your side, Lord Count, but since Lady Valerie was here…”

I replied while putting down the things I bought at Hannah’s question.

“Right. If only we had more time, it would have been nice for Hannah to take turns and look around the market a bit.”

“No, it’s fine. Sightseeing? You know my family home was right next to the market, right? I grew up seeing the market all my life.”

“Still, I feel bad for making only Hannah work hard while I leisurely looked around by myself.”

Hannah Camellia, the first assistant to Count Louisette. She was someone with tremendous sense of responsibility and a strong sense of duty. Looking back from the time I possessed Celeste until now, I had hardly ever been apart from Hannah.

The only times I was away from her were when I intentionally excluded Hannah and acted alone, and when Hannah recently visited the Count’s residence, but even that didn’t exceed twice.

Such Hannah left me alone to see Valerie. Even if it was just for 30 minutes. They say the master’s child is like the master themselves. Since she would become the future Viscountess, there was no room for dissent in the belief that she should be treated with utmost care.

“By the way, this is my first time on such a nice train, my lord.”

“Really?”

The train was shabby when leaving, but now it was a super luxurious train when returning. It felt a bit different, but it was like a triumphant return or something like that.

“You’re the first assistant to Count Louisette, and this is your first time riding a train like this?”

“When the previous Count was alive, I wasn’t the assistant, and after you inherited the title, my lord, you only stayed at the capital’s residence. There was no occasion at all to ride a train.”

“I see.”

“I was so surprised when you woke up ten days after the carriage accident and suddenly said you were leaving the capital to recuperate. I thought you had become a different person after injuring your head.”

It seemed that the ‘real’ Celeste had been in a carriage accident around the time I possessed her.

She had suffered a severe head injury and had been lying unconscious for ten days. Considering Hannah’s words that the Count had changed so much since then, I speculated that the original Celeste had fallen into a brain-dead or comatose state due to the accident, and I began a new life by possessing her.

“Ha. Ha. Ha.”

I gave an awkward laugh.

Celeste was a true city girl. Despite having so many villas owned by the Count’s family nationwide, she had never left the capital.

“What are all those things, Lord Count?”

The train had departed, and Valerie was playing well on her own. I sat at the wall-mounted table on the left side of the sleeper compartment and began setting up the things I bought with peace of mind.

As I took out the pie that had been stimulating my salivary glands from the moment I discovered it, I couldn’t help but drool.

“Mmm, smells good.”

They say good-looking food tastes good too, and it smells nice as well. It was an appetizing pie with a fruit resembling strawberries piled on top.

I found a fork and knife on the shelf above the table.

I carefully cut out a slice and moved it to the plate in front of me, then cut it into bite-sized pieces for easy eating…

Bang!

“Wahhh!”

I was just about to bring a piece of the pie to my mouth with the fork. Along with the bang, a child’s crying erupted.

“Wah, wahh, Mommy…”

I turned around to see Valerie had already gotten up from her seat and was crying after knocking over the chair leaning against the wall at the end of the bed.

“Can’t you… let me eat a snack in peace for just a bit…?”

A child in the midst of learning to walk was truly a being that required constant attention. If you took your eyes off them for just a second, they would fall, knock things over, get hurt, and cry.

“Momma, Mommy, waaah.”

Valerie’s cries grew louder and louder. There was nothing I could do in this situation. I was about to just put down the fork, but feeling regretful about the piece I had cut, I quickly shoved it into my mouth.

“Coming, coming.”

I ran over and picked up Valerie, mumbling. As I patted Valerie’s back, who had calmed down as if she had never cried, I diligently moved my jaw to chew.

One bite, two bites. With each chew, the fruit bursting in my mouth filled it with fragrance.

“Crazy, it’s so delicious.”

I had forgotten for a moment. The thing I liked the most, and the only thing I liked, since becoming Celeste in this world. A fragrant tea time with delicious desserts.

Eating something delicious made me feel good. Feeling good made the lovely child in my arms look even more adorable. As I tickled the squirming child’s cheek, Valerie must have found it ticklish and let out a giggle, burying her face in my chest.

“Daddy, food. Mommy.”

She was really, really cute. Is this maternal love? It’s funny to talk about maternal love when I’ve never even dated a man, but I couldn’t resist kissing Valerie’s plump peach-colored cheeks because she was so adorable.

Smooch.

While I was distracted giving a deep kiss to her squishy cheek, a hazy, smoke-like dark blue light was slowly rising from the pie placed on the table.

[This is the timeline separator]

“Your Highness, it’s time for your meal.”

I was in the middle of checking the piled-up documents that had accumulated while I was away from the Imperial Palace. It had already been three or four hours since the train departed. Carl, who had been burying his face in documents the whole time, slowly raised his head.

“Is it meal time already?”

“What would you like for your drink, water or wine?”

The person who appeared pulling the food trolley was a cabin crew member. The neatly dressed crew member set the table with a calm demeanor.

“Prepare water for His Highness’s drink.”

Clovis answered instead. Carl doesn’t drink alcohol. It’s for personal reasons, but few people know that.

“Yes. I will prepare it right away.”

The crew member’s hand movement was neat as they lowered the wine to the bottom shelf of the food trolley and moved the water pitcher to the top instead. Befitting of a crew member working on the highest-class train.

“…Did the Count eat?”

While watching the meal table being set up in front of him, Carl suddenly thought of Celeste.

“The Count said she would eat on her own and declined the meal.”

The sight of her walking with flushed cheeks, carrying a bunch of sweet things like a young child… Pfft, the sound of a deflated balloon escaped from Carl’s mouth.

“She must have bought quite a lot.”

“Pardon? What did you say?”

“No. Nothing.”

Once the setup was finished and the crew member left, Carl moved to sit at the table. He wasn’t particularly fond of eating, but when he had to use his head a lot, he made sure to eat meat and vegetables for nutritional intake.

“Join me.”

“I’m fine, Your Highness.”

Eating with his superior, that was unacceptable. Clovis took a step back. He intended to quietly wait until Carl finished his meal.

“…What’s prepared for dessert?”

“Pardon?”

Carl was someone who didn’t engage in unnecessary conversation during meals. Clovis, who was waiting for the meal to end in silence as usual, asked in surprise.

“Dessert… you said?”

Carl nodded. What’s going on? He’s someone who doesn’t even touch sweet things. When Clovis gestured with his eyes through the window, a crew member opened the door and entered.

“What’s the next course after the meal?”

“You mean the course after the main dish? I heard you don’t eat dessert, so I didn’t bring it, but would you like me to prepare it for you?”

Just as Clovis was about to nod at the crew member’s words, Carl abruptly interjected.
