Certainly, the decision to go to Prestige Line was made impulsively.

However, for some reason, the mansion where Gibnen was staying already had a space prepared for her to stay.

“It’s Lady Sophia.”

A middleaged woman who looked mature greeted Riley. Then, a young maid came closer.

“Welcome, Miss. My name is Rachel.”

“Rachel will be the maid exclusively assigned to you from now on. This is Lowen, this is Linda, this is…….”

Introductions to the servants followed in sequence.

Compared to the size of the mansion, there weren’t many servants. She thought there might not be more than twenty, but only about ten people worked in this mansion. That number even included gardeners, chefs, gallery managers, librarians, and butlers.

Could the mansion’s household be run with only this many staff? She pondered briefly, but soon realized how foolish the thought was.

“Most of the housework is handled entirely by magical tools. We mainly focus on professional and meticulous tasks that can’t be done by magical tools.”

“I see.”

Gibnen checked his watch.

“I need to go to Horizon right now.”

“Go quickly.”

“Then, excuse me. Lady Sophia, please take good care of my wife.”

“Don’t worry and go, Master.”

Gibnen went out for work, and Sophia and Rachel guided Riley to the room where she would stay from now on.

“You will share the bedroom with the Master, but since the Master rarely comes home, this room is prepared for Miss Riley to have private time.”

A luxurious room.

Even the most extravagant and large room of the Earl’s family at Eardaline couldn’t compare to this place. Rather, the Earl’s room felt shabby.

As big as the Earl’s hall, the room lacked nothing. A spacious bed that could easily sleep at least five, a creamcolored sofa, and a large table and chairs for dining.

On the table were beautiful flower pots and cute accessories, and beyond the large window, there was a small terrace with a table and chairs for tea time. On the wall hung an expensivelooking famous painting that she didn’t recognize.

“Open the small door on the side, and you’ll find a dressing room. Since we prepared the room in a hurry, we couldn’t fill it with clothes. If you need more clothes, I will call a designer immediately.”

The dressing room was filled with clothes, jewelry, and accessories that one wouldn’t be able to wear in a lifetime.

“This is enough.”

“Everything in this room is yours, so feel free to use it.”

“All, everything…?”

“Yes, if there is anything you need or are uncomfortable with, please call us at any time.”

How could there be anything uncomfortable in a place like this?

Rachel, who had been standing beside her, clenched her fist and said,

“Miss, I will serve you with all my heart and soul!”

Being young, Rachel was full of enthusiasm.

The friendly attitude, unlike the always cold servants at Eardaline, was strange but not unpleasant.

“Would you like to rest for a while? Or shall we tour the mansion right away?”

“I’ll rest for a bit.”

“Understood. If you need anything, please ring the bell.”

“The bell?”

“That thing hanging next to the bed is a bell to call a servant. When you shake the bell, it rings throughout the mansion.”

“Oh, that’s fascinating.”

“There are many fascinating things. Even though I’ve been serving the Master here since he became independent, I still can’t adapt. Every time I turn around, new magical tools appear… But once you adapt to them one by one, you’ll enjoy the ultimate convenience.”

Lady Sophia turned around with a kind smile.

“Then, rest comfortably.”

After Sophia left, Riley threw herself onto the enormous bed. She hugged the soft pillow tightly and rolled around on the blanket, enjoying her joy to the fullest.

‘…It’s like a dream.’

Such a big and soft bed.
Such a large and spacious room. Things I couldn’t even imagine. Things I never even wished for are here. It was only a week ago that I was sitting on the cold floor, tearing off a piece of bread… Can I accept such excessive things?

The Lianster family must indeed be a great family.

The main building must be much larger and more spacious than this mansion, right?

‘Father… Is this why you told me to live desperately?’

In the end, all of this was left by my father.

Thanks to being a former wizard of Horizon and the friend of ‘Yung’, who was Gibnen Lianster’s master. Thanks to that single letter left to Yung. It’s fortunate to enjoy such unmerited favor, yet… it was also puzzling in a way.

‘Why did my father hide from me that he was a wizard? Father… He surely died in a carriage accident, so why did he leave such a letter to Grand Wizard Yung?’

The nuance of the letter was as if he knew he was going to die.

Why did he live as a shabby mountain keeper in the forest, when he was once a wizard who worked at Horizon, and who was friendly enough with Grand Wizard Yung to be friends? If he was a wizard affiliated with Horizon, he would have had a lot of money… Why did he live such a hard life, struggling to make ends meet every day?
