Episode 58

‘Well, the market is close anyway . ’
I went with good faith .
It was true that Sir Davery, who had to follow me wherever I went, seemed to be running out of personal time recently .
I came out to the market with two people .
“It’s lively . ”
The long line of stalls was lively and noisy, with many people at one glance .
I nodded silently, as if in agreement with Sir Davery’s appreciation .
‘There are already quite a few people out there watching . ’
The harvest festival in honour of the year’s abundance was a big event . In terms of size alone, it stood shoulder to shoulder with the National Foundation Festival in spring .
Maybe that’s why I saw quite a few people who came out to play in the festive mood in advance, even before the date was fully set .
“Where shall we go first?”
“Well, I don’t really care, so stop by the nearest place first in order of distance . Is the weapons store the closest from here?”
“Lady . ”
“Why?”
“You have no romance . ”
“…… . ?”
What romance all of a sudden?
“Look at this street . Can’t you feel anything?”
“There’s a lot of people . The stalls, too . ”
“And it’s full of energy . It’s the street to celebrate the festival . ”
“And?”
“No matter how many things we came out to buy, wouldn’t it not be a courtesy to this bright and exciting street to only really buy things?”
What is he talking about?
Bessie clapped her hands on the side at the sudden argument .
“That’s right!”
Then she helped as if she had waited only for this moment .
“It’s too bad you know since you’re here and there are so many things to see, why don’t you take your time and look around?”
I blinked and looked at the two alternately .
Soon after, there was something easy to pinpoint .
“…when did you two join hands with each other?”
“Oh, what are you guessing?”
“You know what I mean . Somehow, this was the real purpose from the beginning . ”
It occurred to me that Sir Davery, in the mansion, appeared at a very coincidental time and intervened .
I thought it was an exquisite coincidence, but now I think it wasn’t a coincidence .
He was trying to get me on the market in advance .
As I looked closely at him with my arms folded as if I had noticed, Sir Davery and Bessie looked into each other’s eyes, and soon admitted in a gentle manner .
“Was it obvious?”
“Should I say it clearly?”
“My dear lady, it’s all for you . I’m just being honest with you, but please forget everything else today and just relax and concentrate on watching the festival . ”
“Huh?”
I blinked my eyes .
Bessie suddenly grabbed my hand and said,
Even when I listened with one ear, Bessie’s words that were deeply worried and concerning, so I had no choice but to be silent on my own .
“What the hell is that all of a sudden… . ?”
“Do you think we didn’t know? You haven’t been feeling well lately and how bad your complexion was these days . ”
“Huh?”
‘Me?’
No, it was technically a bad situation . What was just embarrassing was the fact that I was making an outward sign of it . I stammered for a moment and said the same thing as Sir Davery .
“Was it obvious?”
“I mean that, of course . Oh, my lady, what can I do to make your suffering heart relaxed?”
“That…”
“Lucas should be the one who’s suffering . ”
When asked why I looked so bad, I was looking for a plausible excuse .
But I didn’t have to be .
Instead of asking me why Bessie poured out a cool cursing at the dead one .
I was fascinated by the splendid speech that was as good as the butler, and I soon realized and stopped her .
“Stop it, Bessie, look around . ”
I was actually looking .
Bessie stopped the feast of cursing in the stinging gaze and grumbled instead .
“Oh, really, it’s just a pity that he’s already dead . You shouldn’t have let him be fine . ”
“Um…”
‘Did being dead is fine?’
Maybe it’s because he was stabbed to death .
“For no reason, our lady is suffering because of that bastard, and you’re still upset about it . So, today letting it go for a while is good?”
I had nothing to say .
To be honest, the reason for my disarray these days was that most, no, actually, is because of Ash, but since I couldn’t tell it as it was, I equivocate with an answer .
Sir Davery stepped in and patted Bessie on the shoulder .
“Calm down, Bessie, because we’re here anyway . Should we make her feel better?”
“That’s right, lady . What do you want to see first? During this period, the street sells cotton candy using magic tools . ”
Bessie stared at me with her eyes burning with enthusiasm .
It seemed unlikely that it would work to say that it’s all right and that there’s nothing to care about it .
I ended up failing to decline and decided to take a brief look at the whole market .
“Hey, look at that . There’s an event where you get a doll if you get a dart . What do you think of that doll?”
“Yes, it’s pretty . ”
“I’ll get it for you . ”
And what I learned from this situation, Bessie was quite versatile .
I spoke to Sir Davery while watching him turn the merchant’s face blue with his amazing dart skills .
“Sir . ”
“Yes, my lady . ”
“Does my complexion look that bad these days?”
“Well… you seemed to have a lot of thoughts . ”
This time I suddenly remembered what Sir Davery had said in the last carriage .
“If you have someone you like, you can talk to me . ’
In that respect, his sense is better than others .
Sharp and precise .
‘…… . I’ll have to be careful not to get caught . ’
I swallowed dry saliva secretly .
I think it’s better not to get as close as possible to Ash when Sir Davery is next to me .
Just in case, I need to practice facial expressions .
I was thinking about it, and Bessie, who had already got the doll as she said, returned with a bright walk .
“Here you go, lady . ”
“Wow, thank you . ”
In fact, it was more fun to see Bessi’s triumphant face than the doll .
‘Anyways, thanks for trying for me . ’
As expected, I should focus on my facial expressions and not cause this kind of concern from now on .
It was when I wandered around the market to some extent .
When I felt like my legs were starting to hurt, the child, who seemed to barely reach my waist, grabbed me by the hem of my dress and begged me .
“Go to the fortune-teller stall . ”
“Fortune-teller?”
“Let me solve your life’s problems . It’s very good . ”
The little child murmured what he must have memorized . When I looked over the child, I saw a cloth .
“It looks like it’s a fortune-teller’s tent . At times like this, there’s at least one . Would you like to stop by?”
“Well, shall we?”
I nodded, not thinking long .
Just in time, I felt my legs hurt, and the fortune-teller stall was sitting down, and there was no reason to refuse .
I made eye contact with the child before heading for the tent .
“What’s your name?”
“It’s Marie . ”
“Yes, Marie, I’m seeing the fortune-teller because of you, so don’t forget to take care of your life later . ”
“Yes . ”
I patted the child’s head lightly and moved my steps .
“Lady, I’ve never gone to a fortune-teller before . ”
“Really?”
“How about you?”
“I don’t know…”
‘I realized that this is my first time seeing a fortune-teller in this life . ’
In my previous life, I used to see tarot cards whenever I went downtown .
‘Is it similar here?’
“I hope it’s fun anyway . Let’s go in . ”
The inside of the tent was wider and brighter than I thought .
A grey-haired old woman sat with several statues hanging behind her back .
“Welcome . This is a precious guest . As the child said, I’ll read your future for you . ”
“Did you hear what the child said?”
“I need to have good ears to do business . Have a seat, anyway . ”
The old woman did not seem to be particularly demeaned, for the sake of the precious guest .
I sat in front of the old woman, with some strange feeling, alongside Bessie .
“There, you sit too . ”
“I feel comfortable standing up . ”
“I have something to tell you . Sit down . ”
And in the end, three of us sat down, including Sir Davery .
As soon as the old woman did, she looked at Bessie and opened her mouth .
“Well, you’ll have a good relationship sooner or later . ”
“What? A good relationship?”
“Man, man . ”
“Oh my!”
Bessie covered her mouth with surprise and shook my hand .
“How old am I?”
“Is age important? As long as you didn’t get married . They say that even if there is no wife or husband, an old person could form relationships only by making eye contact with each other . ”
“Ay, but…… . ”
“It’s a younger man, a younger man . ”
“Can you tell me a little more about that?”
But the old woman sadly cut off the conversation there and this time looked back at Sir Davery .
“I told you to sit down because I wanted to compliment you . ”
“Yes?”
“You’re very good at deceiving yourself . That’s what you’re doing . ”
Sir Davery blinked . He seems to have no idea what the old-woman means .
The old woman continued to talk as if she were going her own way, regardless of her opponent’s reaction .
“You’re fooling yourself . To the end of the last . You don’t even know how to be fooled . It’s the one and only beneficial thing for you . ”
“Hey, if you really didn’t want me to know, shouldn’t you have not told me that?”
“Is that so?”
The old woman snorted with laughter .
It was a queer old woman . Should I say she’s a good talker?
The atmosphere in the tent seemed to move about in accordance with her intentions .
As she said earlier, the old woman must be a good businessman .
Then the old woman’s wrinkled face finally turned to me .
It was the last order .
