Chapter 3: Her Curse and First Ring

Ginorious

I was currently on my way to the Sevensworth’s library to look up something at the order of the duke. I’d also received permission to take a bit of a break and read, since I was already making the trip.

The buildings on their estate weren’t limited to just a church and theater; the Sevensworths even had their own library. It was a similarly stand-alone building on the mansion grounds, and was filled with an incredible number of books. Though the Valvalier house had a wonderful library of its own, it didn’t have nearly the selection of the huge, three-story building the Sevensworths had.

As I entered the library, I saw Ana sitting at a desk close to the window, not too far from the entrance. With how cold it was getting, she’d most likely chosen the spot because the sun was shining.

The books in this world used parchment, and since the pages would warp if they absorbed moisture, it was normal for them to be bound by wooden slabs. Usually, as protection, the corners of the wood would be fixed with metal, making them heavier than books from my previous life. Ana was currently reading a book, resting it on top of the desk.

She’d written in her letters that one of her hobbies was reading. Watching her, bathed in the sunlight, focused on her book while sitting in the chilly, hushed library made it even more clear to me that she enjoyed reading. She looked even more mature than usual as she kept a straight back, silently looking down at her book, enveloped by the soft rays of the sun.

It also made me happy to be able to see a new side of her. I was enjoying myself so much that I didn’t call out to her, but that didn’t stop the servant standing near Ana from alerting her to my presence. Looking up and seeing me made a smile spread across her face as she shut her book.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you,” I said.

“Oh, no, I didn’t expect to be able to see you at this time of day. I’m so happy!”

At her urging, I took the seat across from her while the servant prepared tea.

“What were you reading?” I asked.

“Embroidery techniques from the previous dynasty.”

That sounds like something only an enthusiast would read. “Oh, that’s right, you did mention in one of your letters that embroidery is one of your hobbies.”

The hobbies she’d mentioned were reading, embroidery, and drawing. She apparently also liked playing a two-stringed instrument that resembled a violin.

“Though my skill isn’t at a level to boast about, I enjoy doing it,” she said.

“Would you mind showing me some of the things you’ve done?”

“I’m truly not trying to be humble, but I’m not at a point where my work is presentable. However, if you don’t mind, then...”

Though she seemed unsure of what to do, Ana smiled as she promised to show me her embroidery.
