Chapter 4

The next day after breakfast, everyone began preparing for departure.

Gainas informed Mary that her brothers had already departed at the break of dawn. They’d left a letter for her, in which they explained that they would head to Sylvino first and look for Anna’s mother. Lang and Lucian may have been a troublesome duo, but they could be very capable when it came down to it, even among nobility. (Regrettably, this was only the case so long as the condition of Mary’s absence was fulfilled.) If those two said they’d do it, then Mary felt safe leaving the search in their hands.

“I did arrange for breakfast, but because your brothers left so early, the waiters couldn’t catch up with them,” Gainas explained. “I’m worried that we didn’t do everything in our power...”

“It’s fine,” Mary replied. “Those two always wake up excessively early on the day of an outing. It’s their own fault for missing breakfast, and if they get hungry, they can just buy themselves some sweets.”

Gainas’s face stiffened at her declaration. He seemed to have something on his mind, but was holding himself back. Most likely, he wanted to say something like, “It’s as if they’re children.” Mary completely agreed with that sentiment.

“I’m happy to have them find Anna’s mother, but I’d be remiss to let them make it to the feudal lord before me! Let’s get going too! It’s time for a beating!” she exclaimed.

“Please stop saying such things, I beg of you... Lord Patrick, you too! Please don’t come here with a charming smile while making those disturbing statements!” Gainas lamented.

Mary only let out a high-pitched laugh at his attempts to inhibit them.

And so it was time to hurry on...except all of them couldn’t fit into the same carriage. As such, they arranged for a second vehicle from House Eldland, at which point...

“Lady Mary! We may be in separate carriages, but p-please don’t forget me...!”

...Parfette cried out sorrowfully. Just why was she so upset? And why did she think that Mary would forget her just because they were traveling in different vehicles? Yet she didn’t seem all that opposed when Gainas took her by the hand into their own carriage. Mary was sure Parfette would be infatuated by the air between them once they were inside.

“Is that girl a crybaby?” Anna asked curiously.

Everyone in the carriage nodded in response. Parfette was indeed a crybaby. In fact, she was always in tears, so “crybaby” almost seemed like too light of a term to use. Even Mary didn’t feel like defending her in this instance.

However, when she heard this, Anna hid in Adi’s tailcoat, revealing that she’d cried last night. Her countenance was embarrassed as she peered out from the coat, feeling ashamed of being a crybaby herself.

Adi gazed at her with concern and patted her head. As he did so, Anna looked up at him and hesitantly opened her mouth. “Big Brother Adi...” she uttered falteringly, using the same term for him as she did for the others.
