Chapter 11
Because this was a body that had not one ounce of strength in it, I frowned at the fact that I was being held back by him .
“What might you be doing?”
Sabien said something unexpected .
“Take this . ”
Baffled, I looked down at the necklace that was decorated with sapphires .
‘An artifact?’
Immediately, I could feel the flow of mana that had been written into the sapphires .
It wasn’t a mere accessory . Rather, it was a magical artifact, and one of high value too .
“This necklace has the Roxanne Grand Duchy’s coat of arms impressed on it . Should a difficult situation arise, use this necklace . ”
I understood his words .
He was telling me to use the family’s name should an emergency arise .
Though I doubted I would ever use it, there was no reason to decline his offer, so I took it .
“Then, later . ”
This time, it really was farewell .
Goodbye, Roxanne Grand Duchy .
Rubia, I’m sorry for doing whatever I want . If it saddens you that I’m leaving the household, please forgive me . In return, I will be happy for both me and you .
With those thoughts, I left the castle .
Once I crossed the moat, the darkness started to part and the territory of the Grand Duchy appeared .
As expected of the state that dominated the financial center of the West, it was bustling with people .
‘Hm, I should earn money first . ’
For me to have to earn money as soon as I dream of living like a couch potato . It was regrettable, but it couldn’t be helped .
One could only be lazy if they had money . First, I needed money to board .

‘Well, it’ll work out . Anyways . ’
As I walked forward, I frowned and looked behind me .
A young man with a stern impression wrapped in a hood was following after me .
When I stood still, he feigned ignorance .
Anyone could see who had sent him . By either the Grand Duke or Sabien’s order, a knight had been sent to escort me, alternatively tailing me . Even so, to follow me so blatantly .
As someone who had once been called the Master of Hiding in the east, I wanted to teach him how to tail someone properly, but I gave up and decided to ignore him .
However, not too long after, a person I could not ignore showed up .
“Milady! Lady Rubia! Waa Waa! Milady! Wait for me!”
Shouts mixed with youthfulness and sobbing could be heard from the direction of the castle that I had just come .
When I turned my head, what thirteen? A young girl with a cute and lovely appearance shouted after me as she ran .
“Marie?”

I called the girl’s name . Due to the chaotic nature of the recent incidents, I had forgotten that girl’s existence .
Marie .
Just as the butler was Sebastian, the head maid was a girl with the name Marie .
As the only maid who obeyed Rubia, she was Rubia’s only ally within the Grand Duchy .
“Waa! How can you leave me alone like this!”
Having run up to me like a puppy, the panting girl burst into tears .
I thought to myself .
‘What should I do?’
This young girl, who left a kind impression, had once made a big mistake and was nearly punished, but Rubia had taken the punishment upon herself .
After that incident, she obeyed Rubia and served her as one would the savior of their life .

“You can’t leave alone, waa! How am I to live without milady? Please take me with you!”
I made an awkward face and replied . I didn’t want to walk around with a hook .
“Marie, you’ll suffer terribly if you come with me . Remain at the castle . ”
“I’m willing to suffer! I would like to be of help in any way! Please don’t just throw me away . ”
“There are no benefits for you if you follow me . Why are you doing this?”
The young girl shouted loudly with a face wet with tears .
“Of course, that’s because I like milady!”
It was when I heard these words .
A singular voice faintly resounded inside my head .
It was familiar, but a voice that I could never hear again .
[The reason I follow you? Isn’t it obvious?]
