The dinner was in the same way – sumptuous. But knowing that my lie pulled me into a pit, I can’t help but tremble.
The heroine was supposed to be the only one deemed to be an Enlightened after Sun God’s Blessing!
Caramelle would realize that she was gifted with knowledge for engineering right after the ceremony – making it the start of her prestige and daily interaction with the royalties.
Judging from the Duke’s reaction, he had already sent a letter to the palace.
“Ah— Stress!!!!”
Punching and pulling the pillows, I tried to relieve myself. At times like this, chocolates would really be helpful!
Haist!, Kiaria, Kiaria, let’s just focus for tomorrow instead!
I’ll just worry about the enlightened issue during the Thanksgiving Day. At least I have four days left. During these days, I’ll find that mysterious woman as I indulge myself with sweets!

When I woke up, the sun was already up. My limbs ached as I wrestled with my pillows last night till my strength left me.
Knock! Knock!
Jane came in, and seeing me still in bed, she asked in surprise.
“Young Lady, Young master’s attendant would like to confirm if you will still go shopping.”
Right, I asked Minte to go with me.
“Inform him that we will proceed. We will also just have lunch outside.”
“Ahm, Young Lady, do you really not need help with the bath?” Jane asked in assurance. Opposite of the real Hershey, I don’t want to be seen while bathing. I could do it alone anyway.
“Yes, I’ll be fine. Oh just prepare me some male clothing.” Yawning, I waved at Jane who was staring at me in disbelief when she heard her task.
It should be fine staying in the bathe for at least half an hour. With that in thought, I moved towards the bathroom and soaked in the hot bathe.
It feels so good~
When I went out, I found a red medieval tunic and a black cargo kilt. Jane also prepared a black pants and high boots. In fairness she has some fashion style.
Yesterday, I asked Pepper to go with us during dinner but she seemed to be busy and since I’ll only go with Minte and his attendant, it would be better if I am dressed as a man too. Looking at my own reflection in the mirror, I can’t help but feel pumped up as I looked better in man’s suit.
Moving out, I found a black carriage with the Almonds insignia. Minte was already standing before the carriage wearing a suit similar to mine but in navy shade.
“We could go.” I urged the coachman when we were all seated inside the carriage. “Let’s go to the bookstore first then we will proceed with buying some cooking ingredients.”
“Alright, were you preparing something delicious again?” Minte asked in anticipation.
“Right, the sugar candy you tasted yesterday was only a prelude to sweetness. I’ll be introducing other sweet delicacies soon.”
Arriving at the marketplace, I began to admire the bustling place. As there were separate road for carriage and people, the carriage was able to move forward with ease. This setup was thought carefully and it was implemented properly.
“I think we should grab something light to eat first. Do you know a place like that?” Looking at young kids, walking and eating some sandwich I can’t help but yearn for some.
“Hmmm… I usually eat at the bookstore so I am not familiar with the other shops.”
“Oh… ” Then let’s ask our guide. Knocking at the small carriage window right next to the coachman, Ron, Minte’s assistant peeped in. “Ron, do you know a place that serves light snacks, sandwiches and the like.”
“We could turn left to the next street Young Lady, there is a famous café there.”
“Alright, we’ll head there first. Then to the bookstore before buying the ingredients.”
With a salute, the small window was once again closed. I clearly felt that the carriage was about to turn left when the carriage suddenly halted. Thankfully I am seated properly or else I’ll be head smack on the carriage floor.
“What happened?” Minte shouted in concern.
Ron opened the small window and voiced out. “Young master, a young child suddenly popped out and she is currently unconscious.”
“Oh? Did we bump into her?” Minte asked worriedly
“I don’t think we really hit her but she maybe too shocked that she passed out…”
“Is there a nearby clinic around here. Let’s head there first then. For the mean time carry the child in.” I voiced out.
When the kid was brought in, I was so surprised to find a small child around four to five years old, she wore an old pair of clothes but what attracted my attention more was her long black hair…
This color… Black hair was unique to Hallows!
