CH 133

Ethan sighed deeply as he thought of the dirty tricks that would fall on Sarah.

At the very edge of Ambrosia's mansion was Penelois' room. Although it was at the corner of the mansion, it was also a room overlooking the garden. In consideration of Penelois, who was unable to take a step out of Ambrosia, Sarah turned the entire side of the room into glass. Then she carved a magic circle that could not be seen from the outside. Thanks to this, Penelois was able to stand by the window and watch the procession of the Duke of Ambrosia.

"I’m sorry, Penelois-nim. The event took longer than expected."

Sarah's voice was heard behind Penelois' back, who was quietly looking out the window. Penelois, who was staring blankly outside, looked back in surprise and said.

"Is it over already?"

"Yes, they’re all gone."

"Ah......"

In response to Sarah's answer, Penelois slouched down her shoulders, which had been heavily tightened, and swept her heart out.

"How does it feel to see the nobles from afar?"

"......I was nervous."

The graceful gestures of the nobles, the gaze of looking at each other, and the naturally divided groups. From subtle nerve warfare felt in the passing gaze, to high-ranking nobles secretly talking to each other in a certain corner. Even from afar, it felt like a lot of interests was moving at the same time with the incident of Alton Estate.

'If Eleon ascends to the throne...... I have to get in there, too.'

Thinking about it like that, her heart swelled up in a corner of her chest. Penelois sighed deeply and led Sarah to the sofa. Sarah smiled at her face as she looked like she had something to say, and put Claude, who was in her arms, down.

"Claude-nim, would you like to play with Elexa-nim?"

"......Uh um, but Nanny will be leaving soon. Can't I stay with Nanny more?"

Claude grabbed Sarah's hem in a mumbled voice and looked up at her with a gloomy gaze.

"Urk."

Sarah clutched her chest at the cute kitten-like figure. Penelois smiled and opened her mouth.

"It'll only take a minute, Young Lord. I'm not gonna take that long."

"......I understand."

At the request of Penelois, Elexa's mother, Claude sighed and nodded as if he had made up his mind. Sarah quietly swallowed a smile as she watched Claude copy Ethan’s expression in an unhappy situation.

"Come quickly, okay?"

"Yes, I will."

Sarah waved to Claude, who turned around and glanced at her as he walked out of the room. His footsteps, as if he was left with a lot of regrets, were so cute. Even though Claude opened the door and left, Sarah continued to look at him, and upon seeing this, Penelois said in a soft voice.

"Countess Millen, Young Lord is gone now."

"I know, but......"

Somehow, Sarah wanted to capture all of Claude's appearance in her eyes. She felt like she had to. The child grew so fast. He was changing day by day. She had been a little heartbroken to think that she would miss Claude's small and big changes while she was at Alton Estate. Sarah blinked slowly and then looked at Penelois with a smile.

"So, you have something to tell me?"
