I continued to struggle with what to do about my friend that wouldn’t leave my thoughts, but she immediately disappeared when someone called out to me. I stopped in my tracks to see who it was.

“Yumiella! Over here!” Eleanora exclaimed, waving to me as she ran over. Her hand was dark with a thick coating of dirt. There was even dirt all over her face and dress. What had happened to her?

“What were you doing?” I asked.

“I was digging up potatoes!” she responded. “Not regular potatoes, but sweet potatoes!”

“Oh, that’s nice...”

“There’s a field a short distance from town that the church manages, and we’re going to use the potatoes grown there to hold a roasted potato contest!”

“That sounds like fun,” I admitted. “Is the contesting happening now?”

“Not today...” She leaned in closer to me. “This is actually a secret, but I’ll tell you anyway. In a little bit, all of the people who helped dig up the potatoes are going to roast some. That means that if you help out with gathering them, you’ll get to eat roasted potatoes twice.”

Wow, I’ve been given some highly classified intel.

Behind Eleanora, I noticed about ten children who stood a little further away from us. Their hands were all dirty as well, and the cloth bags they carried were likely filled with sweet potatoes. I couldn’t help but note that it seemed that Eleanora was the dirtiest out of everyone. I wasn’t sure if it was because she’d started out so clean that the dirt was even more apparent by contrast, or if she had been more excited about digging up potatoes than the children had been—the details were unclear.

I was glad to see that she was still having fun even after her nobility had been revoked. “The children over there are waiting for you,” I pointed out. “You should go.”

“Yes! I’ll be off then!” Eleanora trotted away back to the children, next to whom she didn’t look out of place at all as she radiated the same childlike enthusiasm for their tasks (although it also might have been because of all of the dirt).

Rumors swirled about town that Lady Eleanora was the daughter of a duke and had been a noble lady in the past, but that lore seemed incorrect when seeing her now. She somehow managed to fit in with the townspeople—especially the children—much better than I’d ever managed to.
