Whether it was because there was no mana to make the magic stone, or whether she hadn’t mastered the method properly yet, Charlotte would always fail at the last step. 

She wasn’t gathering mana at her fingertips like before. 

She wasn’t gathering mana, so she couldn’t make a magic stone. 

Unfortunately, Theo, who helped Charlotte deal with mana, wasn’t helpful this time. 

While Charlotte was struggling, the baby put his hand on her stomach and tried to help, but there was no progress because Theo didn’t know how to make the magic stone. 

“Sister?” 

By now, Theo was saddened to see Charlotte fail. Being able to not help his sister seemed to come as a shock to him. 

Charlotte made an offer that might improve Theo’s mood. 

“Theo, do you want to go see your friends, Tomatoes, and Potatoes?” 

Again, Theo smiled brightly. 

“yes!” 

Charlotte and Theo went to the greenhouse, and she asked Emma to make a snack. 

In the greenhouse, there was the second field, but being a greenhouse, it was full of different flowers and vegetables. 

The weather is nice today, so I thought it would be nice to spend time and have a snack with Theo in the greenhouse while looking at the field and the flowers. 

However, the various flowers could not enter Theo’s eyes. As soon as the child got into the greenhouse, he ran into the field. 

“Theo, move slowly, if you fall it will get hurt” 

Charlotte spoke anxiously behind him, and Theo slowed down a bit. 

However, the child hastily approached the field and squatted down. 

The child began to dig in the field with a small custom-made shovel. Since it targets the onion side, I thought tonight’s menu would be sweet onion soup. 

“Peck, Peck, I dig onions!” 

Hums Theo. 

Charlotte looked at Theo’s little body, which seemed happy just by looking at his back, and sat down at the table to one side. 

The table was placed in a place where the field could be seen clearly. 

Charlotte has prepared snacks and drinks to feed Theo when he returns hungry. 

In front of her, something different from yesterday appeared. 

‘What is happening?’ 

Until yesterday, a lot of vacant lands was dug behind the second Field, where the soil was well dug up. 

The soil may have been plowed to grow something, but there were no seedlings suitable for planting there. 

‘Are they still looking for seedlings?’ 

Charlotte imagined the flower garden behind the field, praying for what she wanted. 

‘If possible, I wish they were yellow flowers.’ 

Most of the flowers here were very saturated like red, white, and purple. It wasn’t that there were no yellow flowers at all, but they were large flowers like sunflowers. 

There was no yellow flower with the sweet feeling that Charlotte wanted. 

If there was a field of yellow flowers, I would feel as if I were in my hometown, Lannia estate. 

The sea we see from the Heinst estate is beautiful and I enjoy seeing it every day, but sometimes I miss the broad scope of the Lannia estate. 

Yellow flowers are in full bloom in the field in the fall. 

As I told Theo, it was my favorite landscape. 

The flowers blooming in the Lannia estate were warmer than in the capital. 

When I remembered the scene that I hadn’t seen this year, I felt depressed for nothing. 

Charlotte recalled a current problem to escape from her memories. 

‘I have to make a magic stone soon.’ 

She sighed as she remembered Carcel’s hand she was holding when she was in front of the Duchess’s tombstone. 

At first, I tried to make a magic stone for Theo, but now it is different. Now, for Carcel, I wanted to make a magic stone as soon as possible. 

If, according to her assumption, his seal was lifted, something big might happen in the future. 

Perhaps it was even more dangerous than the fluctuation of Theo’s mana. 

A large amount of mana was present in the body from birth, but the more one practiced, the more mana the body could retain. 

In Theo’s case, even though he was Rosito, there was a limit to the amount of mana he could carry in his body when he was still young. Of course, he carried more mana than most magicians though. 

But Carcel was different. He was a sword master who could use extra mana even though all his mana was sealed. 

Charlotte could not even imagine how great the consequences would be if his seal was lifted. 

And worse, he doesn’t know he’s Rosito. 

If Theo had a fever, Charlotte could quickly detect it and cool off the mana. 

However, Carcel didn’t know that it was Rosito, so there was a possibility that he could 

ignore any pains in his body and move on. 

For example, didn’t he already say he had chest pain? 

If so, what should I do? Charlotte found the answer in the magic stone. In the original work, 

Penelope made a magic stone and gave it to Carcel as a gift. 

On the surface, a magic stone wasn’t much different from an ordinary gemstone. 

If you made cufflinks or brooches with magic stones and always kept them with you, 

Wouldn’t the worst situation be avoided? 

Since the seal had already started to break, there wasn’t much time. So as her failures 

continue, Charlotte becomes more and more anxious. 

Something silver suddenly appeared before Charlotte’s eyes as she anxiously tapped her finger on the table. 

It was clearly human hair that showed through the green bushes. As far as Charlotte knows, 

there is currently only one man with silver hair in the mansion. 

“Mr. Morris?” 

Bushes trembled. Soon the head had completely disappeared into the bushes, but Charlotte 

had already seen it. 

‘Why is he doing that?’ 

I don’t know why the man who had so boldly asked for a date at first would suddenly hide, but Charlotte was delighted to see him. Because she needed someone to talk to about the magic stone. 

Ahin was obviously a good teacher but it would be better to hear other people’s opinions. 

Randro was there but I was reluctant to follow him, but Morris came for me first. 

Charlotte walked through the bushes with a tense face. 

“Hello, Mr. Morris.” 

“Oh, don’t come closer!” 

“…. What ?” 

“Miss, you must not look at me!” 

His voice trembled. It was not a joke; he was being honest. Charlotte took a few steps back to look at him. 

if eye contact can turn you to stone. why is he stiff? 

“D-Duke.” 

“Duke?” 

“Okay, no …. I am sorry I couldn’t greet you properly.” 

Charlotte immediately squatted down to meet level with his eyes. His purple eyes can be seen through the green leaves. 

When their eyes met, he jumped up, making that shrieking sound. No matter how she looked at him, he seemed like a different person than the first time we met. 

Even if I asked him why he was doing this, he wouldn’t seem to answer, so Charlotte 

decided to say only the conclusion, excluding the premise and the main theory. 

“Morris, I don’t know what’s going on, but can you help me?” 

“…. What ?” 

His silver hair rose again across the grass. 

“What can I help you with?” 

“Ah .” 

Charlotte got up, took a few steps forward, and sat down again. 

“Actually, others don’t know about this matter, can you keep it a secret?” 

“If that’s the case, I don’t want to interfere.” 

“It’s about magic.” 

Few people now know that Charlotte is learning magic. 

But somehow, she seemed to be able to trust Morris somehow. It was someone Ahin 

trusted and seemed like a pure person. 

Besides, he’s a mage who works for the Heinst family, so he should know she’s the right 

person. 

Morris’s eyes became interested as a word of magic came out of her mouth. 

“Are you talking about magic?” 

“Yes, I want to craft a magic stone, but it is a bit difficult.” 

“If you ask Ahin, he will explain it to you better.” 

“Actually, Sir Ahin already told me, but it doesn’t work. I want to get some advice from others.” 

His head rose from the bushes and Morris’s eyes popped out. 

“Ah, but it’s uncomfortable to sit like that, so can’t you just come out and talk? Doesn’t your leg hurt? Why are you doing this?” 

“Because I can’t meet the lady.” 

“Why?” 

“The Duke….” 

Charlotte remembered the look on Carcel’s face when Morris had asked her out a few days earlier. 

This face looked uncomfortable somehow. Even when I thought about it, maybe not, I asked with a skeptical mind. 

“Did the Duke tell you not to talk to me?” 

“Yes.” 

“Why?” 

“It’s because I asked the young lady on a date that time…” 

As he uttered the word dating, Morris’s voice was low like a creepy one. 

“Why?” 

“Because I dared to ask the Duke’s fiancée for a date!” 

“But you didn’t know that I was his fiancée.” 

“It is wrong to say I did not know.” 

Why? Charlotte couldn’t understand. 

Of course, he would have reacted like this if Carcel was in love with her and they got engaged, but they weren’t.

Carcel wouldn’t be bothered just because Morris was flirting with her. 

But now it’s not important, so I decided to move on. 

“Then I will keep it a secret from the duke, so can you help me?” 

This time, Morris showed his full face. 

“Are you really going to keep it a secret?” 

“Yes .” 

“I trust Miss. The Duke’s sword might really blow my throat out.”
