Chapter 10
Sir Olivier was one of the best ‘Mana Owners’ of the Grand Duchy . It was near impossible that the princess would be able to leave the territory of the Grand Duchy without him noticing .
As Sir Olivier left, the butler asked .
“What will you do when the princess returns to the castle?”
“……”
The Grand Duke closed his mouth once more and did not respond .
The butler glanced at the Grand Duke with eyes of regret .
“I understand your Royal Highness’s feelings, but the princess has done no wrong . ”
“… I know . ”
A soft voice could be heard from the Grand Duke’s mouth . It was twisted voice, twisted as far it goes, filled with hate and guilt towards an unknown entity .
“… I know as well . ”
Seeing such a figure of his master, the butler let out a sigh .
I, who returned to my room, packed my bags .
‘This was the best possible conclusion . If I had stayed here, there would have been too much unnecessary consumption of emotional labor . ’
Usually, I would have attempted to adapt to this new life . I would have even tried my hardest to mend the bonds between myself and the stepmother and father .
However, not this time .
It was all too tedious, and I merely wished to rest comfortably .
‘I need my outdoor clothes . There are no sleeping bags . I’ll just take the blankets . ’
I’ve been alive for a thousand years . I’ve traveled to the point of exhaustion . Even if I had reincarnated into the frail body of a female aristocrat, there was no reason for me to avoid traveling .
‘Valuables… None . ’
I frowned in the middle of packing .
I had searched through the entire place, but Rubia had no valuables that could be sold . The sun was setting, and I had no money to find a place to rest .
‘Well, I can just earn money . ’

I thought to myself calmly .
It was just troublesome, but there were many ways to earn money .
‘Let’s go . ’
I changed into my outdoor clothes and tied up my silver hair . After firmly checking the few things I had packed, I left the room . There would never be a reason for me to ever step foot into this castle ever again .
However, I ran into an unexpected figure in the corridors .
A youth of shining silver hair, stern blue eyes, and a sharp impression .
Rubia’s stepbrother, Viscount Sabien .
“What do you think you’re doing, Rubia?”
It was a voice filled with indignation, so I ended up looking at him blankly .
“I’m leaving the castle . ”
“The castle? Are you joking?”

He had on an expression as if he was suppressing his anger .
As a result, the uncertainty in my heart grew larger .
Why was he doing so suddenly? Was it that he now wanted to act like a brother?
‘He should have done better while he had time . ’
I was about to corner him indifferently, but I had a sudden change of heart .
There was no reason to part on bad terms . After all, this would be the last time he would see his younger sister .
“I’m sorry, but I thought this was the best possible decision . ”
“Leaving the castle is the best possible decision? Are you being serious…?”
“Or do you have a better solution?”
I looked straight into his blue eyes .
“Had there been a better solution, then the situation would have no reason to carry so far . ”

Sabien’s eyes trembled at my words . I watched motionlessly as guilt passed through his face .
“That… . ”
Sabien, just like the Grand Duke, merely fluttered his lips but was unable to say anything . That is, there was nothing for him to say .
I thought that Rubia, this body’s original owner, would feel a little happy seeing this side of Sabien .
Of course, no matter how much the Roxanne Grand Ducal Family was to regret, it was already long after the storm had passed . Because ‘Rubia’ was no longer here .
I’ve realized after repeating life after life, humans frequently regretted long after the fact . Though that was why they were humans .
“Then, I shall take my leave . Please be healthy . ”
Once again, I turned around to leave the castle .
“Wait!”
But at that moment, Sabien took hold of my hand and pulled .
T/N: After the poll on 7/28, I’ve come to the decision that the Grand Duke will be Jourdian, and the knight will be Olivier . Jourdian won over all the other options for the Grand Duke and Olivier tied with Owain, but after comparing their pronunciations with the raws, I’ve decided that Olivier was closer .
