Lacey’s eyes were still a little swollen when she returned to the mansion. Wayne was concerned, but he pretended not to notice. Lacey felt embarrassed for sobbing so much, so this little gesture of kindness was much appreciated.

The following day, Lacey and Wayne went on a picnic. Their destination was a bit far from the mansion, so they decided to pack lunch for the trip. They also brought the camera and tripod with them.

Because taking a photograph of a moving object led to a blurry image, they had to take the wind into consideration. The two of them sighed as they performed the difficult task of observing and adjusting to the weather.

“This good?” Wayne asked.

“Yeah, looks great,” Lacey replied.

The pair took photographs of mundane objects: leaves, flowers, mountains, and trees.

Tomorrow, Wayne would be heading back to the capital, so Lacey had invited him to this trip to take photographs with the camera. She didn’t have a particular subject in mind; she just wanted to take pictures with him.

“I started rushing to make the camera because I thought you might want to do something like this.” Lacey and Wayne walked together, taking photographs of the scenery along their path.

“I’m grateful that you managed to think of me like that,” Wayne said, averting his gaze. He must have been embarrassed. “Anyway, how’s the camera feel?”

“Feels really great. Oh, but there are lots of things I want to improve. Like how it can only take black-and-white photographs, or that it takes a lot of time to capture one photograph. Wayne, thanks for helping out.”

“Lacey, I think you’re a genius.”

Lacey couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly at Wayne’s compliment. There was only so much that she could do on her own. She wouldn’t have been able to make the camera without the help of so many people along the way. Theobald’s handiwork, Reeve’s and Yorma’s suggestions, and, of course, Wayne’s skills.

“Hey, Wayne, yesterday I had a talk with Mrs. Tricia.”

“Really? What did you talk about?”

“She thanked me for making these photographs,” Lacey said.

“Huh, good for you, then,” Wayne said nonchalantly. Despite that, Lacey knew that he had been worried about her. He would always be gentle to Lacey whenever she learned something new. Lacey smiled awkwardly and continued.

“That made me realize that other people won’t always value the same things that I do. Like when my ex-fiancé called my staff a filthy thing. That’s why I was so scared of asking Mr. Theobald to make the lens for the camera.”

Lacey had nearly thrown away her entire life and magic by asking Wayne to burn her staff. But now, she was eternally thankful she didn’t go through with it.

“On the other hand, I learned that, sometimes, the things that I value are even more valuable to others. Wayne... Thank you for not burning my staff when I asked.”

“Wow, now that’s a trip down memory lane. Just so you know, I only rejected your request the first time you asked.”

The second time Lacey asked, they were interrupted, and she never brought up the matter again.
