We finally arrived at Diamant an hour later. We landed just as the sun was slipping below the horizon. Outside, the ground was covered with a blanket of silver and white.

“Wow, it’s a field of white all the way to the mansion! It’s like I walked straight into a fairy tale,” I marveled.

“Those white stones were made by reworking perlite mined near the volcano,” Van explained. The volcano was what we’d call a rare mont blanc—a white mountain. Rocks mined there tended to have a pearl-like sheen.

“I had no idea that Diamant had something this rare...”

Van then warned me that taking perlite from this area was forbidden so as to not invite the wrath of the Great Spirit of Snow.

“I’m so glad you told me before I took anything.”

I was considering making the future spa’s reception floor out of perlite as a selling point to visitors, so it was a disappointment to hear that it wouldn’t be allowed.

“Even if you can’t take the perlite, I can give you as many real pearls as you’d like.”

I pretended not to hear what Van had just said. I felt like he would actually keep his word.

“Looks like our escorts have arrived,” Van said.

I put on my fur coat and went outside. The doors opened with great force, and a blast of cold wind greeted me. The freezing temperature made my exposed skin sting. I should have prepared some earmuffs and gloves as well. My ears felt like they were about to freeze solid. My skin was tensing up, and it felt like it was burning.

Out of desperation, I immediately clung to Parfeil as she was leaving the carriage. Parfeil, being a beastkin, had a naturally high body temperature, and her warmth was a small comfort in this severe environment. Parfeil held me in return, and now, even my heart felt warm and comfortable.

Beside me, Van looked completely shocked. “Millefie, why are you embracing Bunny when your husband is right here? Are you cheating on me?” he asked in a demanding tone.

This was quite unexpected. Does hugging Parfeil count as cheating to him? And how come he remembers my fake name but not the fact that I’m here as his attendant?

“Lord Dragon Duke, is there a problem with the maid?” Lady Opera asked. Van seemed to have been caught off-guard by her question. Lady Opera continued by whispering into his ear. “Brother, you must control yourself. Please understand that she is just acting in the interest of her own survival. Our entire plan will be all for naught if we are exposed because of your overprotectiveness.”

“Y-Yes, you’re right. I will be more careful.”

Van loudly cleared his throat and headed toward our escorts—about thirty Diamant locals. None of the escorts were wearing thick fur coats like we were all wearing. Perhaps it was a sign that they were all used to the freezing cold.

The man who seemed to be spearheading the escorts walked forward. He was the Marquis de Noisette, the head of his house.

Van went ahead and greeted the marquis.
