Chapter 83.2

A week has passed since the two arrived at the villa. From that day on, Yurina felt great, and Reynard, who caught a cold along with Yurina, also recovered in one day.

However, for the past few days, Yurina has been almost locked in her room, unable to get out. This is because whenever Yurina tried to get out, she was held back by Reynard out of concern.

– Are you serious about going for a walk? It’s cold outside.

– I learned a fun game, let’s play at home.

– I’m tired, let’s play inside today.

There were various excuses, but the bottom line was that Yurina shouldn’t stick her nose out. If Yurina insisted, even if she dressed up in warm clothes, it seemed like he wouldn’t let her go anyway.

However, Yurina remembered his face when he whispered to her that he would rather get sick instead of her, so Yurina gave up and stayed at home. The two spent most of their time sitting on the terrace overlooking the sea, talking or playing games.

That didn’t mean they didn’t went out at all. Two days ago, on a particularly warm day, Yurina went to a cafe in the city center to play.

By forgetting everything and having a peaceful time, Yurina was able to get rid of all the worries that weighed on her heart. After the cold passed, she ate well and was able to sleep peacefully at night.

Yurina was able to talk a little more comfortably with the new servants. But, unlike in the past, she could no longer open her heart to them.

When everything calmed down, Yurina felt like she had missed something. Yurina watched Betsy closely as she read a book on the terrace alone. Betsy mumbled something under her breath, and seemed to be excited about something.

“Betsy, is something good going on?”

“Huh?”

“You seem to be in a good mood.”

“Thanks to the lady, I can’t help but feel good because I’m here in such a nice place and I’m spending time leisurely.”

Yurina put down her cup and crossed her arms over her chest. Betsy, who has been busy in the capital all the time, also came here on vacation, so it must be a good feeling. But it seems there was something else.

Even if no one else knew, Yurina, who had been watching her for the past few years, couldn’t be fooled by Betsy’s words.

Yurina narrowed her eyes, looked at Betsy and softly asked:

“Betsy, are you in love?”

“Yes? No, no! It’s not like that! It’s time for me to fall in love with my lady!”

It was even more suspicious to see her twitching and painfully sharply in denial.

“Why are you so reluctant? You can’t sit with me all your life. Of course, I wouldn’t mind, but Betsy also needs to build her life.”

“Where am I going to leave my lady? You are the most important to me.”

Betsy whispered in Yurina’s ear, making sure no one was around.

“Actually, it’s not like that. I’m preparing a party in the villa.”

“Party? What party?”

Yurina answered the sudden words a little louder, and Betsy put her index finger to her lips.

“Milady, don’t be so loud.”

“There’s no one here.”

“Still. Someone might hear it.”

“Who would listen? If you’re planning a party, won’t everyone know?”

“Not all, but only Reynard.”

“Ray?”

“Yes.”

Why can’t Ray listen? Yurina tilted her head to one side for a moment before she asked again.

“Is this a surprise party?”

“Yes.”

It was just a random question, but after receiving a positive answer, Yurina felt a little embarrassed.

“What is your idea?”

“Reynard’s graduation party!”

Betsy raised her voice, as if excited herself, whispered again with a puzzled face:

“He graduated a year earlier. To be honest, I don’t know much about these academies, but Dave said it was a great thing?”

“Yes, that’s right. It is very rare that students finish their studies ahead of time.”

Betsy blushed, as if she were being praised.

“This is such a big event, and of course we should celebrate it! Oh, but don’t get me wrong, milady. Even if it wasn’t for his early graduation, I’ve been thinking about having a party for a long time. However, it was postponed because Reynard came back too suddenly, and after that tournament… But we have to do something.”

Betsy was excited by the thought of an accident while hunting. But she smiled again and poured tea into Yurina’s empty cup.

“Anyway, now I have a little bit of free time. I wondered what it would be like to prepare a party.”

“If that’s the case, why don’t we go back to the capital and do it there? It’s getting late, so I guess it doesn’t matter if it happens a little later. Ray also knows more people in the capital than here.”

Yurina recalled the faces Reynard had prepared for his birthday party in the past.

Some of the servants quit, because that was 7 years ago, but most of them remained in the mansion. Most of them were in the capital now, and there were many strangers at the villa that Raynard didn’t know.

So, she wondered if it would be easier to do this in the capital.

Betsy shook her head, wondering if it would be better to do it in the capital.

“It has been quite a while since he graduated. We will make a party here, and then we will go to the capital and do it again!”
