“Hazel, I’m shy because I don’t know anything about the shopping district. Is there a place that makes fancy cuff links?”

 

“Oh, I know something. There’s a place where Robert asks for master’s cuff links. If you ask Brid to go to Mulan, he will immediately understand. It’s on Lucius Street.”

 

 

Brid was the name of the Duke’s knight, and Lucius was a street where the shops that dealt with the nobles exist.

 

“Thank you, I feel so relieved now I was thinking of taking Theo with me to match his clothes.”

 

“Young Master will like it.”

 

“True ? Can you keep this a secret?”

 

“Yes! I won’t tell anyone so don’t worry!”

 

Hazel’s gaze was sharp as if she was going to stitch her mouth with a needle.

 

Charlotte looked at Hazel, whose face was serious, and then picked up the teacup in front of her, since she was styling her hair she couldn’t get her head down, so the cup of tea slipped from her hand.

 

“Madam !”

 

The cup of tea fell, and the tea spilled on the ribbon that adorned the hat. Charlotte looked at the yellow ribbon on which the tea was spilled.

 

“What do I do, I was going to wear it today….”

 

Emma, ​​who had finished styling her hair, quickly picked up the tape.

 

“We still have time, I’ll hurry up and wash it up! It’s sunny today, so it will dry quickly.”

 

“Is it possible ? Thank you .”

 

“This is what I should do.”

 

Emma hurriedly left the room. Coming to the laundry room, she looked around, looking around, remembering the description she had heard from Celine earlier.

 

Wheaten hair, green eyes, tall, sharp eyes.

 

Emma, ​​who had found a maid similar to the description, walked in front of her.

 

“Ellie?”

 

“Huh? Miss Lannia’s maid? Are you Emma?”

 

Ellie pretended to know, wiping her soapy hands on the apron.

 

“Yes, this is correct .”

 

“But what is going on here?”

 

Emma carried the tape stained with black tea.

 

“In a little while, madam is going to Regis street, and I accidentally spilled tea on the tape I was going to use on the hat.”

 

Maids’ faults tend to be covered by maids. Ellie whispered to Emma at the same time, so the others wouldn’t find out.

 

“At least it’s a bright color.”

 

“This is what I mean. My lady decided everything, but if she knew this she would be very upset. Can you wash this thing quickly?”

 

“Don’t worry . I’ll wash it well, so it doesn’t leave a stain! Fortunately, you brought it in as soon as you poured the tea, so I guess it will be fine.”

 

“Thanks, this is….”

 

“Do not worry . We help each other in times like these. I will make sure this matter does not enter Miss Lannia’s ears.”

 

Ellie, who was about to go, looked at her again.

 

“Are you going to Regis street?”

 

“Yes, she will eat dessert with Mr. Theo.”

 

“Oh, there’s a famous chocolate shop on Regis street. The young master will like it.”

 

“I think so, we’ll look for it then.”

 

“Okay .”

 

Having safely completed her task, Emma headed to the kitchen this time.

 

Once again, she searched for the dark-haired and blue-eyed kitchen maid based on the description she had heard before. 

 

It was easier than finding Ellie because there weren’t many dark-haired girls.

 

“Jesse?”

 

“Huh? Who? This is the first time I’ve seen your face.”

 

“I came here not long ago with little Miss Lannia, I had never been to the kitchen before, so you might not have seen me.”

 

“Ah, you’re the kid Jill was talking about.”

 

Jesse laughed bitterly.

 

“Jill?”

 

“Yeah, he’s been talking about you lately.”

 

She looked around and lowered her voice.

 

“Maybe he’s interested in you.”

 

“What? I don’t even know who it is?”

 

“Oh Really ? He’s the food ingredients server, don’t you know him?”

 

“Yes, I’ve never been here before.”

 

“Strange, so how did he know? Did he peek at you?”

 

Jesse rubbed her chin and waved her hand.

 

“If you don’t know, that’s okay. By the way, why did you call me?”

 

“Can you make me a lunch box?”

 

“Lunch box?”

 

“Yes, these days the duke is so busy that he can’t even eat. I think the lady was a little worried, so she’s going to the Duke.”

 

Jesse brought her hands together neatly.

 

“Oh my God, she’s really considerate.”

 

Jesse’s face was moved.

 

“Actually, the butler was worried because the master is not eating well. But now he eats breakfast, lunch and dinner regularly. Was it thanks to Miss Lannia?”

 

“Um, I don’t know.”

 

“Anyway, leave the lunch box to me!”

 

Emma grabbed Jesse’s hand, who was running quickly to the kitchen.

 

“Young master Theo is going too, so prepare three lunch boxes. It’s a secret that the lady is going to visit the duke, so don’t tell anyone.”

 

“Sir Renner’s mouth is heavy, I will only say that it is Miss Lannia’s lunch box.”

 

“Thanks .”

 

When Emma got back to her room from work, Charlotte was alone in the room.

 

“How did it go?”

 

“I did what you told me.”

 

Emma sat next to her and rubbed her sweaty hands against her apron. I asked nervously.

 

“Miss, are you really going to do that?”

 

“I have to do this.”

 

“It’s very dangerous.”

 

“Don’t worry, Sir Ahin said he would help. I’m just going to do a show.”

 

“But ….”

 

Charlotte rubbed a worried Emma’s shoulder.

 

“It will end well.”

 

She repeated what she was saying, not sure if she was talking to Emma or herself.

 

“Yes, it will be fine.”

 

***

 

Charlotte borrowed a teddy bear from Theo. 

 

Theo, who was at first puzzled because he didn’t understand what was going on, quickly said, “Sister here!” And the bear was given to her with pleasure.

 

“Looking at this, it looks like young master.”

 

Emma admires Theo’s shirt as she puts it into the thick bear’s arm.

 

He looked like Theo at first, in pants and a coat, and even a big hat, I thought they could be deceived.

 

Charlotte looked at Theo’s bear lookalike and sighed in relief.

 

“Well, I’m glad.”

 

Charlotte told the three candidates different places. She said that she would also take Theo, so any assassins targeting the child would definitely show up this time.

 

  

Now, if you find out the location of the raid in any of the 

three locations, you will be able to find the spy.

 

 

For this task, Dame Celine and Sir Anderson, Knights of Heinst, and Ahin agreed to assist.

 

Charlotte said she is confident that not a single hair will be hurt during the procedure.

 

However, the anxiety could not be completely erased, so she could not take Theo with her.

 

 

However, there was a possibility that the assassins wouldn’t move if she went alone without Theo.

 

So Charlotte borrowed his teddy bear, which is similar in size to Theo, and decided to disguise it like him.

 

When she held the bear in her arms and covered him with a blanket, it seemed at first glance as if she was holding Theo.

 

Charlotte patted the bear’s head as she did the baby and then looked at Emma.

 

“Emma, ​​you should hide in the warehouse with Theo.”

 

Charlotte said the warehouse was a place to store Theo’s personal belongings, such as old toys and off-season clothes.

 

It was locked with a padlock, so she didn’t have to worry about anyone getting in, and there was a window to see the situation outside.

 

“Yes!”

 

Charlotte only moved after she confirmed that Emma and Theo entered the warehouse unnoticed.

 

As she walked out of the mansion holding the bear, Sir Celine opened the carriage door.

 

Charlotte went inside.

 

“You are here .”

 

Ahin, who was sitting in the dark in the carriage pretended not to know.

 

“Miss, are you ready?”

 

Taking a deep breath to calm her pounding heart, Charlotte nodded.

 

“Yes .”

 

Once answered, the carriage started moving.

 

Charlotte looked out the open window and her eyes twinkled as she passed through the front door.

 

Ahin took Charlotte’s hand and chanted the magic spell with his mouth.

 

It was a long spell that was about three or four times longer than a normal magic spell. In the end, when the spell ended, a flash of light flashed in front of her, and the scenery around her changed.

 

It was a storeroom full of Theo’s belongings.

 

“Oh?”

 

Theo, who was quietly doing puzzles in the warehouse, smiled brightly.

 

“From here ! Brother mage!!”

 

Theo, who followed Charlotte in every class, frequently encountered Ahin magic.

 

He was so impressed with magic that he liked Ahin second only to Carcel and Charlotte.

 

After Charlotte and Ahin appeared, he was excited.

 

Teleportation magic was one of the highest magic levels. The distance was close, but since there were two people, the mana consumption was huge.

 

When Ahin stumbled, unable to stand up properly, Charlotte quickly supported him and made him sit.

 

“Sis- !!!”

 

She whispered to Theo, who was about to scream at any moment.

 

“Hush!”

 

The child followed her and lowered his voice. Then he found the bear in Charlotte’s arms and rolled his eyes.

 

“Sister, I want sister to hold me too.”

 

Jealousy flashed across his face.

 

Only after Charlotte removed his hat and showed him that he was a bear in her arms did Theo smile. Instead, he was delighted to see the doll in his own clothes.

 

“Theo’s friend.”

 

“Yes,Theo’s friend .”

 

Charlotte put the doll in Theo’s arms, then hurried to the window and gently opened the curtains.

 

The carriage that no one was riding was leaving. Everything went smoothly as planned.

 

That was all she had to do. Now she had no choice but to trust and wait for Dame Celine.
