Chapter 27

“Oh really ?”

“Yes. I don’t know if this is possible or not, but there is nothing to lose by trying. Classes are held twice a week on Tuesday and Wednesday, and today I will inform the Duke about it.”

“Thank you .”

“Actually if it is possible I would like to request from the master to start class right away…”

Ahin smiled as he looked at Theo, who’s eyes were half closed.

“Young master seems to be feeling sleepy, and miss doesn’t seem to have rested, so let’s start next week, the young miss will be busy these days as well.”

“Ok.”

Theo didn’t know what the conversation was about, so he followed Charlotte and muttered.

“Ok !”

Charlotte and Ahin burst out laughing when they saw Theo rubbing this sleepy eyes.

***

Even after Ahin left, Theo fell asleep after playing for about an hour.

He was cuddling with his teddy bear, Charlotte put a blanket on him and rushed to tidy up the things on the floor and went out into the next room that had been designated for her.

There she found Emma, who was unpacking with the Heinst’s maids.

“Ah-Miss!”

Emma’s eyes twinkled just like Theo.

“The Heinst family has prepared the chamber to the fullest!”

Emma was leading Charlotte to the dressing room.

In addition to the clothes that Charlotte had brought, there was a room full of different dresses.

Their number was more than the ones in Lannia’s mansion, and their quality was much better.

“The Duke ordered it to be prepared it in advance!”

Emma screamed with a curious look on her face.

From the moment she heard about Charlotte’s engagement she was interested in hearing their story together.

“Oh really ?”

“Aren’t you glad the Duke is taking care of the miss like that?”

Charlotte struggled to control her expression.

“I am happy .”

That’s a lie.

‘It’s rather stressful.’

Charlotte believes that if she was truly in love with Carcel, she would have happily accepted these favors.

But thinking it was a contractual relationship where they would break up one day, it was a burden.

Luckily, Charlotte took her and walked around the room trying not to be nervous.

The room was a wonderful and well-organized for a room prepared in a hurry, but she had heard that it was the room used by the former Duke’s sister.

“Can I use a room like this?”

When Charlotte asked the question, Emma replied,

“You’re his Fiancée, of course that’s okay!”

Then Emma spoke with Charlotte admiring the room.

However, Charlotte was dumbfounded, when she saw the jewelry box full of all kinds of jewelry.

‘Gosh .’

Apparently the Heinst family treated her as a devoted hostess throughout the decade.

‘Can I do this?’

When she came here, she was worried if she could take good care of Theo, and now it seemed like she should play the role of a fiancée well too.

‘I want Penelope to show up, so I can go back to my hometown.’

Charlotte left her room feeling more tired than when she had been riding in the carriage for so long.

She went to find Carcel because she had something to say to him and to thank him for the room.

But she did not find Carcel.

After listening to the maids, they said that he went out with Chase to finish some things for a few days.

I need to find Robert.

Fortunately, as soon as she came down to the first floor he was easy to find because he was busy giving orders to the servants.

“Is there something bothering you?”

After finding Charlotte, he ran faster and bowed his back.

“No, everything is fine.”

It was too much. Charlotte swallowed her words.

“I want to ask you something else.”

“What is the matter ?”

Robert’s eyes looked sharply at Charlotte.

‘It was said that he knows I’m a fiancée by contract.’

There were four people who knew Charlotte is in a contractual relationship.

Charlotte and Carcel who were the parties involved in the contract, Chase who was with them when they signed the contract, and Robert in front of her.

It was good to have a few people who knew the contract.

But Robert knew Theo had the Rosito curse and needed help from the right person, so he should have been informed of the contract.

On the outside, Robert seemed to treat Charlotte nicely, but he was at the same time building a wall.

‘Is it because I’m someone who’s leaving someday?’

Well, it was better.

Because he was right anyway , Charlotte decided to take his position lightly.

‘But that doesn’t mean he has good manners.’

However, Charlotte smiled at the thought that if she wanted to live well in this mansion in the future, it would be necessary to treat Robert well.

“I want to see the high priest as soon as possible, is that possible?”

The people of the empire were worshiping the god Aryan, and there were priests representing him

They predicted important events for the empire or healed people with their healing powers.

She had to find out the sinister cause of Theo’s condition as quickly as possible.

Despite her anxiety, Charlotte decided to put hope on Heinst’s influence and power in the capital.

“May I ask the reason?”

“For Theo…”

Charlotte, who was about to speak involuntarily loud , became conscious of the people around them and spoke in a low voice.

“I want to wish Theo and the Duke good luck.”

But Robert nodded seriously as if he understood.

“Ok . I will tell the Duke and I will take the necessary measures so that you can visit the temple as soon as possible. I think you will be able to visit the temple in a week.”

A week is faster than I imagined.

‘However, I don’t know what could happen, so I will have to stay with Theo for a few days.’

That was when the conversation ended, and they were about to go back to her room.

“By the way, since you just came , there was someone I wanted to introduce to you.”

Robert called a woman who was busy wandering around the garden.

“Mrs. Renner, can you come over here for a moment?”

Mrs. Renner?

Because of her familiar name, Charlotte noticed the woman who was approaching.

She walked closer with impressive pink hair that flutters in the wind.

She has white skin and light blue eyes. She had the same warm and gentle impression as Charlotte.

“What is there?”

Once the women reached them , Charlotte’s eyes widened recognizing her .

“Maybe this is….”

“Miss Lannia, this is Baroness Renner, who will help you in the future, Baroness Renner, this is Miss Lannia, His Majesty’s fiancée.”

“Oh my God, I wanted to meet you after hearing the news.”

Mrs. Renner reached out her hand and almost fished Charlotte’s hand, then took a step back as if she had come to her senses.

I smiled brightly.

“I’m sorry . It was so nice meeting you that I almost did something impudent. My name is Irina Renner, nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too.”

“Mrs. Renner, after her husband took over the management of her family, run the internal affairs of the Heinst House because the position of Duchess was vacant, she would assist Miss in the future.”

After briefly explaining the matter, Robert left, letting Mrs. Renner give a detailed explanation.

Seeing him leave completely, Mrs. Renner smiled brightly and carefully took Charlotte’s arm.

“You haven’t walked around the palace yet? If it’s okay, can I guide you?”

“Oh yes . I would love it.”

She wasn’t tired, and she didn’t have much to do, so Charlotte complied.

Mrs. Renner began showing her around the mansion as she slowly walked up the first floor.

“This is the dining room, the Heinst family usually use this place to eat and for dinner they use the back hall.”

“Understood .”

“This is the room in which the treasures of the Heinst family are displayed. But the miss could look inside it whenever she wanted. Would you like to take a look?”

“No, I will do it later.”

After listening to the brief explanations from the first floor to the third floor, Charlotte was able to ask the questions that piqued her curiosity.

“Mrs. Renner.”

“Don’t call me Mrs. Renner, just call me Irina.”

Irina, the name was engraved in Charlotte’s head.

“Yes, Irina, if it’s ‘Renner’ maybe….”

“This is correct . Chase Renner, the duke’s assistant is my husband.”

I imagined Irina and Chase together.

‘They fit together.’

They were such a cute couple, so I smiled.

Charlotte then had a little tea time in the garden as Irina had ordered the maids earlier and was able to hear the story in detail.

“Because Anderson, the captain of the temple’s knights, is my father.”

So Irina had been visiting the Heinst Palace since childhood, the ex-duchess, who had no daughters, said that she loved her like her daughter.

She said that thanks to this, she often hung out with Carcel until Theo was born, and that Carcel considered her like his sister.

“That doesn’t mean I did something special.”

But Charlotte thought Carcel had a special respect for her, through his treatment of Irina and her birthday present.

‘I don’t think he thought of you as his sister.’

Anyway, she has said that she often went to Heinst Palace and she and Chase, who had just become an aide to the Duke, developed their relationship into a romantic one.

“I’ve thought a lot about whether I should follow the Duke and go to the capital. But I thought I should stay here to run the mansion, but Danny was very disappointed that he couldn’t play with Theo.”

“Danny?”

Is he a brother or a nephew? Charlotte couldn’t hide her surprise at Irina’s later words.

“He is my son .”
