“Sir Gino?”

“Oh, Ana? What’s the matter? It’s so late.”

“I’ve brought you a late-night snack,” Ana said as she entered the office.

“You’re still up?”

People of this era usually slept early so they could wake at sunrise. Right now it was about one in the morning, a time that was quite strange for Ana to be awake.

“I was reading the documents in the records room. I can’t allow myself to rest if you’re still working.”

“You shouldn’t be pushing yourself so hard!”

“If you think I’m pushing myself, shouldn’t you take a break as well? I’ll stop when you do.”

I couldn’t take a break right now. Both factions aiming for the throne had their eyes set on Ana. If I could make the Simon territory profitable, they wouldn’t have a leg to stand on, but even knowing that, I wasn’t finding any way to accomplish this. I needed to move fast, not sit back while they enacted their schemes.

“The room’s dark as well. You know you don’t need to try and conserve candles, right?”

She wasn’t wrong. The office was dark because, despite there being multiple candlesticks around the room, I was only using the five-stemmed candelabra on the desk—and even then, only one of them was lit.

“I’m not conserving candles. I just prefer it to be darker.”

Unlike the light bulbs from my past life that illuminated the entire room, candles had a much smaller range, which I preferred. By reducing the number of candles, you could make it feel like it was night inside the room as well. If my surroundings were dark, I could focus more on the documents in front of me. If I was reading books, I felt more immersed. I could also focus better on conversations. It just felt much more comfortable when my surroundings were draped in shadow. Ever since leaving House Adolni, I’d always use fewer candles when working or studying by myself, though I wouldn’t do that if servants or Ana were around, so she’d never seen it until now.

“You’re quite the romantic,” Ana giggled. “I’ve always had servants handle the candles for me, but I’ll try using fewer of them when I’m by myself as well.”

Bridgette lit the single candlestick that was on the table in front of the sofa. Yeah, I really like candles. The orange hue of the flame makes food look so appetizing. The faint light lit the intricately carved table, revealing small nicks and scratches from its years of use.

Ana had brought me a pirozhki to eat. Back in Japan, this would have been a fried food, but here, they were baked in an oven. They could be stuffed with a variety of ingredients, and today’s had sautéed lamb and mushrooms mixed with cheese. It was perfect for a snack. She’d also brought me a slightly sweet honey tea, which was perfect for fatigue in the colder seasons.

Ana stayed while I ate. Even though she didn’t have any food of her own, she sat across from me. Just seeing her smile made any weariness I felt disappear.
