Earl Aston and Lady Margot, along with their three-year-old son, did not stay for lunch, instead hurrying home to their territory. Many duties relating to dealing with the epidemic as well as normal governmental affairs had piled up.

The Carlton and Aston territories neighbored each other, but the trip would still take a day’s carriage ride. I insisted that they eat, and gave them sandwiches for lunch, as well as a quiche filled with bacon, and baked sweets for snacks that they could eat while on the road. I hoped that at the very least they would have sufficient time to eat together as a family.

While I made preparations for our after-lunch tea, Ms. Ada received a stack of letters from the postman. She gave them to me to sort through.

I had felt like the number of letters and parcels we received had increased since our move to the eastern region, and in actuality, it wasn’t my imagination. There were a great many far-away people who worried about us, and I was happy that the large volume of letters we received was an indication of that.

There was an unbroken series of items from names that I knew—the female knights I graduated with; Cody’s wife; my esteemed mother-in-law back at the estate; and Lord Virgil, Joshua’s colleague and an aide to the prime minister.

No, I didn’t know what sort of relationship they had just because of pink and orange envelopes. The sender could have been a relative, or a civil official who had worked alongside Joshua in the royal palace. It wasn’t good for me to imagine things and suspect my husband of an affair just because someone had sent him letters.

The crystal prismaphone installed in our home rang, startling me and chasing away the gloomy thoughts inside me.

I heard Ms. Ada’s distant voice as she answered the prismaphone. The caller sounded female from her high voice, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying.

“I see,” Ms. Ada said after a moment. “I apologize, but the viscount is currently out.”

A prismaphone was a useful magical tool that allowed people to see and speak with each other despite being far away, so long as the parties involved both had one set up. Installing them was actively promoted in the eastern region, and there had already been one in the house when we moved in.

Joshua, typically hounded by work, had said that while prismaphones were handy, they had the
