Talia was lying in her bed. Her coughing had stopped, and she could hardly believe how much better she felt. She stared up at the divine sight of Lady Fana awash in the light of the morning sun. Within her, a new kind of affection for Lady Fana began to take root. It was a different feeling from the reverence she had for Rals, but it was no less powerful.

“This is the person worthy of my life’s service,” she swore to herself.

Present day.

With the noise of the feast now behind her, Talia carried Lady Fana while listening to the lady’s grumblings.

“I think it’s fairly clear I have no interest in getting married, so why doesn’t anyone understand that?”

“The young brats of nobility are raised without learning sacrifice. I believe that young man felt he would eventually win out and have his way.”

“Well, that’s not fair! Father’s so strict about making sure I study history and arithmetic and piano and painting, but you’re telling me other houses aren’t the same?”

Lady Fana pursed her lips. She behaved herself on public occasions and, during Shtaalist ceremonies, resolutely carried out her rites as the Azure Maiden. Only around Talia did she grumble like this, which was proof of how much she trusted her knight.

“I for one am very proud of what a hard worker you are,” said Talia, who jokingly rocked Lady Fana in her arms. “Oh, you’re such a good girl! What a good little Azure Maiden you are!”

“Stop that! I’m not a baby!” Lady Fana snapped while laughing gleefully. “I’m grateful for my father’s efforts. I’d one day like to live up to his expectations and become a wonderful lady.”

That was why, in spite of her frail body and frequent illness, she didn’t neglect her studies. It was also the reason she showed up to these events that she had no interest in. If she were absent so often, Lord Creyala would have few opportunities to show off his beloved daughter.

“He lets me make my own choices and won’t force me to marry. I’m very, very grateful to him. I really am.”

The daughter of a noble would typically be married off as a means to a political end, so Lord Creyala’s kindness was a rarity. Furthermore, Lady Fana had a rather unique reason for her refusal to marry.

“You already have your heart set on someone, don’t you?”

“Perhaps you should say I had my heart set on someone. After all, it’s someone of the distant past.”

Lady Fana’s smile shifted into a forlorn expression as she sighed, much like a maiden in love.

Soon, they reached Lady Fana’s bedroom, and Talia set the girl down in a large canopy bed. The walls were decorated with paintings, all of them pieces by Lady Fana. Talia glanced at one: a portrait of a young man with black hair and black eyes. He was perhaps in his late twenties. His face was rugged, she wouldn’t have been surprised if he was a renowned warrior.

However, this painting hadn’t been based on a model, but rather drawn from Lady Fana’s memory.
