Chapter 4

Maria, who has been taking care of me since I was a child, would help me with bathing and dressing.

Maria was really good at this, so I told Hannah that she didn’t need to do those things.

But thanks to this, I don’t miss my parents’ house as often as I used to.

I guess there is such a thing as getting used to something.

It is a habit of mine to drink a cup of plain water before going to sleep, and talking in the room with Maria, who brought it to me, is the pleasure of ending the day.

“Hey Maria. Which is more comfortable for you to live in, our house or this castle?”

Sitting side-by side on the sofa, I wrapped the warm cup in my hands to keep warm and asked Maria. 

Making your voice as quiet as possible, as if you were telling a secret story.

I think It’s not normal for a noble to sit on the couch with a maid.

No, I’m sure it’s not.

But for me, Maria is not only my personal maid, she is also my older sister and my best friend.

This habit, which was not viewed well by my family, is still carried on in secret.

“You ask a rather unkind question, Meg-sama.”

With a gentle smile on her face, Maria says.

“At first, I was a bit confused by the changes, but I’ve gotten used to it. Above all, Meg-sama seems happier here. I’m glad I came here.”

“…do I look happy?”

“At least there’s no one here to hurt Meg-sama.”

“I don’t remember being hurt in my original home, though. Besides, I am…”

Your husband doesn’t love you, okay?

What a mess, isn’t it?

“But I, for one, would be comfortable living anywhere with Maria.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“I’m going to sleep now. Thank you, Maria.”

“May you have wonderful dreams.”

Maria takes the cup and gently closes her eyes and murmurs.

“I’m sure you can see it. Good night.”

It would be nice if Roy-sama loved me, at least in my dreams.

I lay down in bed and wrapped myself in a blanket.

The darkness created by closing my eyes makes me feel lonely, but waking up won’t make much difference because I’ll still feel lonely.

As I reflect on my day, my consciousness begins to fade.

Good night. See you tomorrow.
