***

Some time had passed, but Nana just didn’t seem to be getting better. I knew that a broken bone could take a while to heal, but I was worried sick about her.

“Nana, how are you feeling?” Under normal circumstances, I never went to the servants’ quarters, but I just had to see her. Her eyes widened when she saw me, but then a warm smile spread across her face.

“I might be fully healed tomorrow now that you’ve come to see me, my lady.” She had said it with a smile, but there was a dark shadow in her eyes.

“Nana…” I called her name and clasped her wrinkled, warm hand. Her hands had always protected and guided me. She put her other hand on top of mine and looked down at them.

“You sure have gotten big…” she murmured, caressing my hand slowly. “You were such a tomboy, but so kind. You always cared about a lowly servant like me. Such an innocent little girl. It’s been such an honor to see you grow up. The joy of my life.”

“Nana, stop talking like this is the last time we’ll see each other.”

“I’m sorry. I’m just being a little sentimental, I suppose.” She flashed me a mischievous smile, which was unlike her. “But my lady…it is goodbye, for a while. Since I am useless to you here, I shall go back to the march and recover quietly there.”

You’re not useless—please don’t say that… Stay here.

I wanted to say those words, but they got stuck in my throat. When I thought about it more carefully, that was the most natural thing for her to do, wasn’t it? If a servant was sick or injured, they returned to the march to recover. She wasn’t sick, but perhaps it would be better for her to go home and be taken care of by her family. Plus, she hadn’t been home since we got to the capital, so this would be a good opportunity for her to finally see her loved ones.

“Do you promise to come back?” I asked, despite all that. I knew I probably sounded like a selfish child, but Nana still smiled tenderly at me.

“Yes, yes. Of course. Wherever you are is my home, after all.”

“Then make a full recovery and come back to me.”

“I will, my lady.” She answered without hesitation. I breathed a sigh, then sat back in my chair by her side.

“When will you go home?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?! That’s awfully sudden!”

“I’m fine except for this broken leg. The master has prepared a special carriage for me so I can lie down and be comfortable on the journey.”

“I see. That’s a relief.”

“Once I’ve made a full recovery, I’ll come back.”

“Okay, Nana. I’ll be waiting.”

The next day, Nana got into her special carriage and returned to the march.
