NOVEL NEXT Chapter 80
The end of everyday life
It’s been about a month since Master Wilhelm left.
There are no reports or incidents in particular. My routine passes unchanged every day. We continue to live a life that is really no different than lectures at the Knights on weekdays, tea parties with Lilia on holidays.
If I insist, is knitting as good as it has improved? My hands are free in the morning, so I’m knitting at that time. And then there were more opportunities for Chris to ask me to teach him how to cook. A new cook said he grew up for me.
And since the weekday is over, I’m off today.
“Wake up.”
Yeah, and I get up with my spine stretched out.
Your shoulders are stiff because you were making the same material last night. Shall I give Natalia a massage?
Well, I worked hard last night, so I don’t have to do it today. That would just help. Let’s get some rest tonight.
“Good morning, lady.”
“Morning, Natalia”
“Have a drink.”
Rarely, Natalia came before I changed. Looks like you’re still getting a little tired.
Speaking of which, I think Lilia said last week that we should go out for a little while next holiday. We’re just talking about tea at the mansion all the time, and we might as well shop together once in a while.
Then I have to get dressed like I’m not ashamed to go out there.
“Yes, you are adorable today, lady”
“Thank you”
“Let’s go to the dining room.”
I left Natalia with the choice of clothes to coordinate well.
What do you care? Natalia seems to have a taste for clothes. I envy you. If it was me, I’d be worried about it extensively.
Well, let’s head to breakfast for now.
Out of the room, straight down the stairs, in the entrance lobby on the way to the dining room.
There, my father was in some kind of a hurry.
“Is that it? Good morning, Father”
“Ugh! Good morning, Carol.”
“What’s wrong?
“Ugh… I have to go to the royal palace for a little while. I’m sorry, but I need breakfast first.”
“Is it so early?”
It’s not uncommon for your father to be invited to the royal palace, but it’s uncommon for him to be so early in the morning.
Was there also any major incident? If you had a case, you might want to refrain from going out today.
My father wore a hat, went straight out of the mansion, and dropped me off in the carriage.
“I wonder what happened…”
“Come on……”
Natalia is also tilting her neck, but in the end I don’t get it.
Never mind, let’s say breakfast.
When I opened the dining room door, my mother was the only one there.
“Morning, Carol.”
Good morning, Mother.
“Gilliam has been summoned to the royal palace. Let’s have breakfast for two.”
“Yes.”
When I sat in my seat, Chris carried the meal as it was and set it aside.
It’s supposed to be a table surrounded by my father, my brother, but I feel a lot wider today. Most importantly, my brother is also on his way to the battlefield with Master Wilhelm, so I haven’t been around for about a month.
As usual, I’ll talk to your mother over a delicious Chris breakfast.
“Mother, Lilia asked me to go out today.”
“That’s good. Have fun.”
“Yes, I think I’ll do some shopping.”
“Leave your money with Natalia. Come and get Natalia later, to my mother’s room.”
“Okay.”
My mother talks fast. You even seem pale too early.
But there doesn’t seem to be a problem with going out in and of itself. So is it another project that Father was invited to?
I can’t predict it, and you can’t help thinking about it.
“Thank you very much.”
Finish your breakfast and get up.
And then to kill time until Lilia gets here, shall we even knit?
“Carol.”
And that’s where my mother called my name when I turned my back.
Can I help you?
“Yes, Mother”
……
Turn around. But your mother is out of my sight.
You said you called me, but you won’t say anything. What is wrong with it?
“Um… Mother?
“… Carol. Hold your heart strong.”
“Yes?”
“That’s all the advice my mother can give me.”
“Ha…”
The difficulty of motherhood is to skip through the process and just conclude. I don’t understand.
But if that’s what your mother says, keep it in mind.
“Okay.”
“Yeah. Lovely Carol. My mother will always be here.”
“Thank you”
My mother wiped my mouth with napkins, and I got up. Apparently, I’m going back to your room.
Let’s go back to my room, too.
Natalia also had a strange look at her mother’s attitude. It’s strange, after all, isn’t it? Because it seems strange to me.
“Well, what shall we do…”
“What is knitted now…”
Alongside Natalia, we’ll head back to the front lobby for a moment.
So when I tried to climb the stairs, the knocker at the door just sounded like an apple. Looks like a customer.
My father went out early in the morning, and it’s just unusual to have visitors so early. Will it rain even? Don’t forget to take your umbrella.
Excuse me, ma’am.
Through the side where me and Natalia stood, Richard responded to the front door.
It’s been over a month, and I’ve got my head bandaged off. So we can also deal with visitors.
Knocker kept getting knocked over and over again, even while Richard was at the door like that.
“Yes, which one…”
“Carol is here!?
“This, Dear Lilia…”
Oh.
Apparently, the visitor was Lilia. That’s a much quicker visit than usual.
But I was just about to go back to my room, too, and let’s go to my room together. And have a cup of tea, go out with them, something like that?
Enjoy…
“Carol!”
“Good morning, Lilia”
“Nice! You know what? Calm down, listen to me! Fine!? You can’t go any faster!
“What’s wrong?”
I’m in a lot of a hurry.
Lilia like that is the desperate shape and grabs my shoulder. Is it that there is an important, important story?
“Earlier, the Knights made the triumph…!
“Really?!
“But Master Wilhelm…!
“Huh…”
No way.
No way.
No way. No way.
It’s a lie.
There’s no way.
It’s an absolute lie.
Impossible.
Because.
Because.
“Master Wilhelm… died in battle…!
I made a promise.
