Chapter 65.2

“My hair is okay. But what about you? Aren’t you bored sitting here?”

“Yes?”

Yurina stood up from her seat and pointed at Emily, who looked confused.

“Sitting in the walls is stuffy and boring. Let’s go for a walk.”

Betsy, who noticed Yurina’s intentions, followed the two of them. Emily looked into Betsy’s eyes in bewilderment and stepped cautiously forward.

When all three had gone out, Sir Aaron stopped them at the door.

“You want to go for a walk?”

“Yeah. I don’t like sitting inside. I used to always stay at the villa. Now I want to see the mountains. Is there anywhere to go here?”

“There’s a boardwalk. I’ll go with you lady.”

Sir Aaron summoned other knights scattered here and there and went out with them.

As already mentioned, hunting tournaments are nothing more than an opportunity to make connections. Since the main purpose of the nobles here is to exchange gossip and weave intrigues, there were not so many people in nature.

Yurina deliberately wore a wide-brimmed hat so as not to draw too much attention.

Although most people don’t know her face, they all knew the crest of the Carthia family very well. The knights wisely covered the emblems on their robes so that they weren’t visible.

Passing the tree-lined embankment, a view of the valley opened up to the right of the group. As soon as she saw the clear and pure water glistening in the sun, Emily, who followed Yurina, became very happy.

“Wow! Milady, just look! It’s called the valley… …Right?”

Yurina laughed at the naivety of her maid.

“Yes. This is the valley.”

“My God, I could only hear about such a thing! Is this place very different from Leman Lake?”

Emily with now red cheeks walked to the edge of the embankment, grabbed a tree, and looked down into the valley. She would like to rush there at any moment and dip her feet in the water, but it would be impossible to go down.

Yurina looked at Emily’s back and asked Sir Aaron who was following her.

“Sir Aaron, is there a path to the water?”

“If we go a little further, we will probably find one.”

“Then can we go down to the valley and stop there?”

“It’s okay, the whole place is protected by magic. Would you like me to lead?”

“I would be grateful.”

Sir Aaron ordered the knights in the escort to follow them, while he went ahead.

Emily, who was staring blankly at their backs, suddenly puffed out her cheeks and cried out:

“Milady, thank you! I dreamed of one day visiting a place like this!”

“Thanking for such a small thing? We moved here because the house was hot.”

“Anyway, thank you, milady!”

Emily hummed something under her breath, and now and then jumped around the whole group, especially behind Sir Aaron. Yurina looked into Betsy’s eyes and laughed. Then everyone slowly moved on.

Soon after, Sir Aaron descended into the valley and approached Yurina.

“There are a lot of stones there, so be careful.”

As they descended to the water, holding the hands of the knights, Sir Aaron led them to a wide flat rock. Yurina sat down on the handkerchief that Betsy placed on the rock.

“Milady! The water there is so clean!”

Emily ran into the valley and bared her legs. She wanted to look around for a moment, but soon she lifted the hem to her knees and dipped her feet in the water.

The accompanying knight of her own age quickly turned to face her flushed face.

“It’s dangerous if you run like that.”

“Oh, it’s all right. I’m slowing.”

Emily laughed and stepped into the water. Then, as she lost her balance and staggered, the knight hurriedly ran over and caught her in his arms.

‘How cute.’

Yurina smiled involuntarily as she looked at the two of them. It was the same with other people around. And Betsy, who was holding the umbrella next to Yurina, muttered with a laugh in her voice.

“I was reminded of my lady’s and Raynard’s youth.

“Hm?”

“Because Milady and Reynard were so cute. Oh, that doesn’t mean it’s the other way around now. You are still cute!”

“Is such a word suitable for a person who will become an adult in a year? And Ray is already an adult.”

“But you are still like a child in my eyes.”

The difference is only 10 years, but Betsy spoke to her like a nanny who raised Yurina since childhood. However, it was Betsy who said it, and Yurina didn’t see anything wrong with that. Because the only people who could treat Yurina like a child were her family, Betsy and Dave.

“Don’t stand there, sit next to me. And take that umbrella away. Your hand will fall off.”

Betsy sat down next to her, but didn’t fold her umbrella. Even if Yurina said it was fine, she insisted on it.
