"Honey are you okay?" I nod and smile at Papa. As we arrive here at the manor I was just silent.
"I will leave now, Duke Briele."
"Thank you Sir Leix." he bows and is ready to leave but I tug his cloak.
"Lady Alesana?" it's Sir Calixto.
"Huh?" He knows my secret and I find his presence comfortable. He sighed and pat my head. "Just say my name when you need help. You should go inside you might catch a cold." I nod two times and wave my hands.
"Be safe." I just stay there watching his back until I can't see it anymore.
"Honey let's go." I glance at him and nod.
"Yes, Papa." Papa escorted me to my room and after I changed my clothes I immediately sleep. I eat my breakfast in my room and didn't leave even Sir Calixto is here in our manor.
"Honey, can I come in?"
"Yes, Papa." He was holding a bouquet of pink roses and a not-so-large white box.
"Are you mad at Papa?"I shake my head and he gave me the bouquet and the box.
"What is this for?"
"I thought you were mad at me because this happened twice were always delayed going home."
"No Papa I understand that you are busy, I'm not mad I was just exhausted yesterday because we stroll non-stop."
"Hmm did you enjoy it?"
"Yes papa, I eat some foods that were my news in my sight and it was really delicious we watch the parade and the fireworks display."
"That's great."
"And please do invite Sir Leix to Mama's birthday."
"Yes yes."
"Thank you, Papa!" I kiss him and he smiles.
"Open that." My smile is from ear to ear when I see the box full of different chocolates.
"Wahh Papa, Thank you!"
"You're not going to play outside?"
"No papa, I will just stay here."
"But Sir Calixto is here, you should greet him."
"Yes, Papa."
"I'll leave now." I nod while eating some chocolates that papa gave me while reading. Eat, read, sleep. I'm bored.
"My Lady, are you going to dine together with the Duke?"
"Ahh yes."
"Oh, Alesana it's good that you're joining us." I kiss mama's cheek and sit on my chair.
"I've already finished the book that I'm m reading so I thought I should dine here."
"Lately your so interested in reading books."
"Yes Mama, when I'm bored I read some books."
"Do you want me to find you a tutor?"
"No mama, I can handle it."
"Sorry, we're late." Papa arrived together with Sir Calixto, I wave my hand and smiled at him.
"It's nice to see you here."
"Maybe she's very pleased with my gift." Papa laugh.
"Oh, Dear don't give her too many sweets. Alesana Honey don't eat too much."
"I know Mama I was planning to give the rest on Lara and Mellisa."
"So what are My beautiful wife and daughter talking about?"
"About Alesana's new hobby."
"So you're done at playing tags and hide and seek?" I laugh a bit and shake my head.
"Her new hobby is reading and take note she said because of boredom."
"Oh interesting, do you need a tutor?"
"No need Papa."
"So what are the books you've already read?"
"Basics of literacy, theology, history, The diplomacy of Sir Kurt Vallad, literature... Merlin of Clavis- The history of Great King of Geno. Ahm philosophy book of Sir Augustine Ekha.
Liberal Arts, they were referred to as the septennium (seven) which was divided into the trivium (three) and the quadrivium (four). The trivium included grammar, rhetoric, and dialectics, and the quadrivium comprised arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. And lately, I've been thinking of learning to wield a sword and some archery."
"Honey?"
"Yes?"
"Did you hit your head again?"
"No."
"I'm just surprised that you were interested in learning. I will appoint some knight that will help you on learning sword and archery."
"Thank you, Papa."
"A very talented lady."
"Thank you, Sir Calixto."
"Honey we're sorry if we are leaving again, the Crown Prince will be arriving the next day."
"It's okay Papa, I will probably be busy this week so no worries."
"I wish that the meeting of the Crown Prince to the Emperor of Orion will be alright."
"That's right, we cannot afford to have a war on Orion Empire. The Emperor's health is still not good."
Because the Orion Empire defeat the Stean they're now the most powerful Empire. The Erden and Orion will be on good terms and the rumors of war between the two Empires will not happen.
"This Empire will be peaceful I'm sure of that." Papa nod at what I've said.
"Duke Lucretius discusses that we should strengthen the borders."
"But I think the next Empire might misread it, and may lead to war."
"Hmm, I will share that thank you, honey."
We haven't done eating yet but mama suddenly wants to vomit that's why my parents leave first. I was also about to go into my room when Sir Calixto called me.
"Yes, Sir Calixto?"
"I-i'm sorry."
"Huh, For what?"
"I was about to surprise you and when I'm already here the maids said that you went alone and I tried to find you."
"Sir Calixto, No need to say sorry."
"Did you already know that I was going to marry the Lady of Falco's? I assumed that's the reason why you're avoiding me."
"Oh no, no I'm not avoiding you it's just... I'm busy. That's right!" That's the reason why he wrote a letter, I just heard it from Papa. That the house of Falco's receive the painting of Sir Calixto and their engagement will be next month after Sir Calixto Graduate.
Duke Lucretius Falco... I haven't met him yet. They guarded the borders for a long time and I didn't know that he has a sister.
They said Duke Falco has a stiff expression and in the novel, he only showed his smile to the heroine.
"Then would you like to go outside again?"
"I'm fine." he nods and smiled weakly.
"I see..." Then he held my hand and kissed it. "Thank you for your time, I will not disturb you anymore."
"Good night, Sir Calixto."
"Good night, My Lady. And we're still friends right?" His eyes are hoping that I will say yes. I nod and smiled at him.
"Of course."
"Thank you." I will admit it I was really avoiding Sir Calixto and I'm making some excuses, I didn't have special feelings for him but I thought that he might save me too.
I don't know why Count Morri changed his mind, I thought he liked me for his son.
Is Sir Calixto Morri is just a temporary companion?
