“Hello, Lady.”

“Hewwo—” (Hello.)

I hesitated and hid behind Jessie.

My father said he would attach an escort knight, but he didn’t attach it in the meantime, so I wondered if he had forgotten. But in the morning I saw a stranger at the door and I was startled.

“His Excellency seems to have forgotten to tell you because he was busy.”

The knight… No, The knights… Or not… I was confused by the title. (t/n: At first she says 기사님 then 기사분이 like she’s confused to what to call by the title.) 

Anyway, he seemed flustered. When I saw that, I felt sorry, so I carefully came out from behind Jessie and lifted the dress slightly, as Shane had taught me.

“Hewwo—. I’m Lione Biherville…” (Hello… I’m Lione Biherville…)

“Hello. My name is Lena Presh.” 

Lena bowed once again and smiled a little.

It was a cold-looking image, but it felt different when Lena smiled. I let go of my guard and got closer.

“From now on, I will always accompany you.”

“Jerion is—”

“Young Master doesn’t really like anyone other than Nancy.” 

I tilted my head. But he didn’t do that to me? 

“I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

“Ung… me thoo…” (Yes… Me too…)

When I reached out, Lena held my hands together. I felt like I was being caught because my hands were small, but Lena seemed to be a good person.

Lena, who glance at Jessie, came close to me and said something in my ear.

“I know the existence of the divine beast.” 

“…Ung!” (Yes!) 

I was relieved that I thought what would happen to Driane if they were always together. 

Thinking that way, I looked back at Jessie, and Jessie tilted her head. I was sorry to Jessie for no reason and avoided her gaze.

Sooner or later, I thought I should ask my father if I could tell Jessie.

****

It was said that the beginning and end of the founding festival were fireworks. On the first day, my father was busy, so Jerion and I sat on the terrace and watched the fireworks.

“Nunya!” (Nuna!) 

“Yesh.” (Yes.) 

“Not yesh!” (Not yes!) 

“Ung.” (Yes.) (T/n: Lione talks in a more casual way, since before it’s more formal and doesn’t suit brother and sister.) 

“Thath’sh righth.” (That’s right.)

As soon as I called Jerion, Jerion laughed and ran around the room. 

He was so excited that Nancy couldn’t help it.

If I had known he would like it so much, I would have changed it sooner.

Since then, when I said something more formal, he would refuse sharply. 

Boom! 

While murmuring together,  the loud sound of the fireworks bursting came out, and both I and Jerion fixed our eyes to the sky.

Fireworks spread brightly in the sky. I forgot what we were talking about and looked up at the sky. 

I took a deep breath and exhaled until I saw the Fireworks embroider the sky and then disappear.

“Hyaa…”

“Hwaa…”

I stared at the sky blankly with my chin up.

It’s been a while since the fireworks disappeared, but it still seemed to be bright.

“Ith’sh sho coow…” (It’s so cool…)

“Me thoo…” (Me too..) 

I used respectful words without realizing it, but Jerion didn’t seem to have the time to even care about it. It was the first time I saw fireworks, including my previous life.

In my previous life, I lived in a rooftop room without windows. And I’ve heard of Founding Day, but no one has explained what it is.

“Nunya, weth’sh go in now.” (Nunya, let’s go in now.)

“Ung.” (Yes.) 

“Leth’sh eath coowiesh!” (Let’s eat cookies!)

“Ung.” (Yes.) 

Nancy and Jessie brought dessert and juice. Today was red juice.

“Sthrawberry!” (Strawberry!) 

Jerion ran to grab the juice.

It seemed to be his favorite strawberry juice. It was awkward because I was still confused with the name of the fruit, but I was always grateful for Jerion to say it first. 

“Nunya thoo!” (Nuna too!) 

“Yes, here Lady.” 

Jessie arranged the seat well and let me sit down. Then she quietly left the room with Nancy.

After signing a contract with Driane, Jessie and Nancy have always stepped aside from what orders they received.

Unlike Nancy and Jessie, Jerion beckoned to Lena, who was standing still. It meant to get out.

Lena told Jerion that Lena knew about Driane, but Jerion was determined.

He doesn’t like other people very much. It seemed that Lena was right. When Lena looked at me, I nodded my head slightly.

Then Lena bent deeply and went outside.

“Driane. Eath thhish.” (Driane. Eat this.)

[Hmm… It’s a tart.]

“Ung. Do you wiwe ith?” (Yes. Do you like it?) 

[I don’t like sweet things]

“Buth ith’sh good…” (But it’s good…)

“Nunya…” (Nuna…) 

“Ah! driane doeshn’th wiwe shweeth thhingsh. Noth hathe ith.” (Ah! Driane doesn’t like sweet things. Not hate it.) 

“Whhy?” (Why?) 

“I don’th wnow…” (I don’t know.) 

When I looked at Driane, Jerion looked at Driane as well. He couldn’t see anything, but his gaze was intense as if he could really see something.

Upon receiving our attention, Driane rolled its eyes a little embarrassed and opened its mouth.

[It’s just my taste.]

“Ith’sh jushth thaste…” (It’s just taste…)

“Ith’sh amazing.” (It’s amazing.) 

“I wnow righth.” (I know right.) 

I ate the tart while sipping strawberry juice.

“We’re going outh withh fathher thomorrow right?” (We’re going out with father tomorrow right?) 

“Ung.” (Yes.) 

“Nunya whath do you wanth tho shee wather?” (Nunya what do you want to see later?)

“I don’th wnow… whath abouth Jerion?” (I don’t know… What about Jerion?)

“I wanth tho shee hyung!” (I want to see Hyung!)

“Hyung…” 

“Hyung ish a wnighth!” (Hyung is a knight!) 

“So thhe greath young mashther ish a wnighth.” (So the great Young Master is a knight.) 

“Ung! Hyung ish sho coow!” (Ung! Hyung is so cool!)

Jerion was excited and poured out stories about the great young master.

In my previous life, I had heard about the great young master of Biherville.

They said he was a famous knight. I heard the maid talking, saying that he is handsome and has a cold personality.

I was worried about how such a person would react when he heard that the commoners had become Biherville.

The ‘brother’ I heard from Jerion was a kind person, but I didn’t know what it would be like to me. I knew through my first life that he might not be a good person for everyone.

Since the Duke—no, my father called me a family, I didn’t think I would be abandoned immediately as before.

However, I didn’t misunderstand that I would be loved.

Thinking about it, I suddenly became afraid of going to the foundation day festival.

*****

Even on the second day, I didn’t see my father’s face either. 

I went to the office, but I couldn’t get inside as I saw his vassals and aides moving fast even outside.

[Baby, focus.] 

“I’m shorry…” (I’m sorry…)

I came to my senses at Driane’s words and focused again.

Shane explained that divine power is to be implemented rather than controlled, but it was still full of stuff I didn’t understand.

[Okay. It’s not that you want to make a circle, it’s that you want to see a circle.]

“Ung…” (Yes…) 

I closed my eyes tightly and thought that I wanted to see the circle, but nothing happened.

“I can’th…” (I can’t…) 

[It’s your first time, so, of course, you can be not good. It will come naturally over time.]

I nodded calmly at Driane’s words. Lena, who was watching from the side, spoke carefully.

“Lady, are you practicing handling divine powers by any chance?”

“Did His Excellency allow it?” 

“Driane thowd me jushth a withthwe…” (Driane told me just a little…)

“But I think it’s better to stop today.”

Lena knelt down on one knee and wiped the sweat off my forehead.

[That would be better]

“I haven’th done anythhing…” (I haven’t done anything…)

[Baby.] 

“Owkay…” (Okay…)

When I gave up and drooped my shoulders, Lena sighed softly as if relieved.

“Fortunately, the divine beast gave permission…”

“Driane ish… Driane hash acthuawwy been thewwing me tho sthop.” (Driane is… Driane has actually been telling me to stop.) 

“You have to follow the divine beast’s words. I think you overdo it today.”

“I couwdn’th do anythhing…” (I couldn’t do anything…) 

“You wouldn’t be sweating this much if you didn’t do anything. Even if there is nothing on the outside, there must be something different on the inside.” 

[That’s right. Aren’t you actually feeling it, baby?]

I calmly nodded at Driane and Lena’s words.

Actually, there was nothing to say because I felt the divine power, which had not been moved at first, gradually boiling inside.

Also, Driane and Lena are trying to stop me too, so I decided to stop here since I was looking forward to tomorrow.

“Lena, have you sheen thhe foundathion day feshthivaw?” (Lena, have you seen the foundation day festival?)

“Yes.”

“How ish ith?” (How is it?)

“It’s splendid. There are moving dolls and huge balloons, and there are many merchants, so you can buy things that are hard to find in the Empire on the road. Dancers dance and circus animals perform tricks. You will have fun doing a lot of plays.”

“Whath ish a circush?” (What is a circus?)

“It’s a group that practices magic or the animals do tricks.”

“Ish ith fun?” (Is it fun?) 

“Of course, it’ll be fun.”

“Hehe…” 

I don’t know what it means to say that animals do tricks, but I was looking forward to seeing it because it would be fun. 

“Whath abouth you, Driane?” (What about you, Driane?) 

[The founding festival I saw—well, it’s been too long, so I don’t think it’ll help. But I’m sure it’ll be fun.]

‘Hehe,’ I smiled and went to find Jessie. It was time to wash up and sleep.

When I washed up, I was really sleepy. However, I couldn’t help but do my last routine. So I reached out to Jessie.

Jessie naturally hold me and headed to my father’s office.

Knock, knock—.

“Come in.” 

As if he already knew who it was, a positive answer came from inside. When we went inside, everyone was as busy as day, regardless of the fact that it was night.

“Father—.” 

“Yeah.” 

My father hugged me and put me on his lap. I hugged the duke tightly.

“Good nighth.” (Good night.) 

“Yeah. Good night.”

“Fathher, ith’sh bwacw here.” (Father, it’s black here.)

“What about divine power? 

“I don’th ushe ith…” (I don’t use it…) 

Wiggling my fingers and unable to speak, the Duke put down the papers and stroked my hair.

“Don’t worry, I’m going to sleep now.”

“Reawwy?” (Really?)

“Yeah.” 

“Yesh!” (Yes!) 

I was worried, but everyone nodded and returned to the room with confidence.

I tossed and turned a little because I thought of the office that would be brightly lit, but I fell asleep quickly after receiving the guidance of Driane.

Thinking of the brightly lit office, I tossed and turned a little, but I fell asleep quickly as I received Driane’s guidance.

And when I opened my eyes, the morning of the third day of the foundation day festival finally came.
