A Distance So Close Yet So Far

It had been a week since my date with Phil. As usual, I was sitting in a carriage, wearing a dress that was specifically for soirees. I stared out the window, resting my cheek in my hand, and absentmindedly watched the changing view outside.

The end of August signaled the peak of the social gathering season, and there were balls and soirees every day. This would be the fifth day in a row that I’d be participating in one, and even I was starting to get tired. However, the soiree tonight would take place at the palace, and it was one that would be attended by almost all of the noble families. I had no other choice but to go.

“I can’t let my guard down... I have to do my part,” I said to myself.

With the reminder that Phil was working hard too, I slapped my hands against my cheeks to pump myself up. The moment I arrived at the palace, I quickly joined a circle of noble ladies that I’d gotten close to.

“Lady Viola, you always work so hard. It’s adorable,” one of them said.

“I wonder if we ever worked as much as you did, once upon a time,” another one sighed.

All of the ladies here were married to men from the upper echelons of nobility. I was nowhere at their level in all aspects, but they taught me a lot of things about how to make it in high society. Ever since I became an active participant in these events, my social circle grew much wider to the point that I often received invitations to tea parties.

After I walked around the party and greeted people, I took a small break in the resting room and fixed up my makeup. Once I did so, I started to return to the hall, then I heard someone call my name from behind me.

“Good evening, Lord Cyril and Lady Laura,” I said.

“Good evening, Viola,” Cyril said.

“Oh, Lady Viola! It’s been far too long. I’m glad to see you’ve been doing well,” Lady Laura said.

The two of them were dressed in formal clothing. It seemed that they were fashionably late, only having just arrived. The last time I saw Lord Cyril was about a week ago now. Since he was to take over House Crane, he was also actively participating in various noble gatherings.

“Would you look at that?” Lady Laura said. “Your memories really have returned. I’m happy for you.”

“Yes, they have. Thank you, I’m grateful for how you helped me during that period.”

The last time I saw Lady Laura was when I was still pretending to have amnesia, which was quite some time ago now. She took my hands into hers and smiled delightedly. I felt my chest clench with guilt at the sight and I apologized profusely in my heart as I gripped her fingers tighter.

“Huh, Viola, you’re alone today too?” Lord Cyril said.

“Yes. It seems that Phil’s busy today.”

“From the looks of it, he’ll likely continue to be busy for a while longer.
