Chapter 7
I don’t understand what is happening . My mind is a mess . But anyway, permission to enter the castle was given .
My dad is in a good mood and goes through the garden triumphantly . I was talking to the maid in front of me .
“Well, I’m relieved all went well . I’m not too angry . My daughter got a little dirty, is this how you treat your future madam? ”
“Mary, is your dress dirty? I’ll prepare a new one for you now . ”
“Oh, no . It’s okay … . I can get the dust off by hitting it . ”
“I’m a clumsy maid so I understand what you mean, but I must do my work milady . I once sprayed water from a vase over the madam, and it took me two years of salary reduction to compensate for it . Not, that I’ve been knocked down, I’m sure I’ll have another reprimand . ”
“I’m sorry… this happened because of me and my father…”
“No, it’s okay, I’m Mio . I’m a maid, but I’ve been serving this duke since I was a child and I’m currently serving as a guard . ”
“Guard? Amazing . So Mio is strong . ”
“Don’t call me Mio . You’re our lady from now on . ”
“But… Isn’t Mio a cute name? Um … um . Will Mio be scolded by my future husband if I call your name?”
When she heard it, Mio suddenly started to laugh …
“That’s not the case . I just thought that Marie would be more comfortable referring to me as other ladies . ”
“Well, If that was the case, then I would be more calm to quit the honorifics, is it OK?”
“You’re kind, and you’re smart …”
“Anastasia was more cute!” My father shouted .
Sometimes my father is noisy . But Mio didn’t mind it, so I kept ignoring his remarks and comments .
I wonder what Mio really thoughts . Although she’s almost expressionless and has a firm tone, her gentle air is transmitted .
Is that feeling given because of her plump, soft cheeks? Or am I blind?
I stared at Mio and suddenly felt as though I had realized it .
“Oh? I’ve seen Mio somehow before…”

“Oh, it’s natural you don’t remember me, because it was dark that time . ”
She said and smiled . The feeling of having seen her before turned into conviction .
This person, yes, that night-next to that person- . Anastasia party… .
After a long corridor, we finally arrive at the central hall .
Immediately after opening the door, a man’s angry cry broke .
“Just send all the people back!!! I won’t marry an impostor!!”
I stiffened at the place .
He was yelling at the gatekeeper .
He’s flushed red from the emotions, and his black hair stands up and down from the excitement .
“Ah, that, but master Cyrus… Mio has already let them enter the house, so you should receive them master . You can’t turn back now . ”
“Who said I can’t! I don’t want to receive them so send them away! Marie? I’ve seen that girl at the party but has no appeal . I don’t like her at all! It’s Anastasia or no one!!!!”

“But, um … she’s certainly plain and tall for a girl, but she’s very kind–“
“I wanted only Anastasia . I don’t need anyone else! Turn that Marie Sharon back! ! “
“Cyrus-sama …”
Mio was in trouble as the main door guardian and so was the servant talking . Oh, poor you guys . sorry . It’s all my fault .
The Earl held his head down with his hands and cried .
“Anastasia … Why did you have to die!! If I had known the future held this for you, I would have taken you away that night …!”
…… This time I am in agony ……
“Okay, Miss Marie . Come in and ignore Master rambling . ” Mio said .
Even when Mio prompted me, my legs trembled and did not move . As expected, my father didn’t seem to have the heart to jump in, when someone was mourning his beloved daughter Anastasia . Reluctantly only Mio got inside and spoke to the Lord .
Count Cyrus frowned when he saw Mio . I heard his voice saying “Hah !? What are you doing here?!”

And for the first time, I looked into the room .
“Plop!” Something seems to have fell…
His mouth is half open . ……? I can’t read what emotion does he have now, but for the time being, the cry of sadness and mourning seems to have subsided .
I lifted the hem of my dress and bowed to Count Cyrus .
“Um … thank you, I’m leaving, Count… I’m sorry to have intruded”
“My name is Marie . That’s it for today … I’m honored to have met you… Goodbye . ”
I couldn’t use the greeting and words that were prepared in advance for my meeting with him .
Count Cyrus Granado . When I remembered Mio, I became aware of who was Anastasia’s husband to be .
That night, we were talking in the garden at my eighteenth birthday party .
The night I enjoyed so much talking with someone for the first time…
