“Yes !”

 

Charlotte helped Theo pick ripe tomatoes.
After picking enough to give to Emma and Celine, she got up.

 

“Come on, Theo.”

 

Shall we go back now? When she was about to ask.

 

“Miss .”

 

I heard Carcel’s voice and quickly approached the two.
Charlotte greeted him and put the basket of tomatoes aside.

 

“Have you finished talking to Sir Morris?”

 

“Yes .”

 

Carcel approached Charlotte.
He was looking at her rather heatedly, so Charlotte took a step back.

 

Then Carcel took a step closer.
If you take a step back, he will take a step forward, and if you run away, he will follow her again.

 

The distance between them did not expand at all.

 

In the end, Charlotte gave in and rolled her eyes.

“What were you two talking about, it must have been a serious story.”

 

“……….”

 

“Oh, I shouldn’t have asked.
It must be a top secret story that outsiders shouldn’t know.”

 

“Why are you an outsider?”

 

“What ?”

 

“Miss is my fiancée.”

 

But I’m a fiancée by contract.
I couldn’t say that because I had a hunch that Carcel would be disappointed if I said so.

 

Even now, Charlotte’s words had seemed unpleasantly stranger to him, which gave her some courage.

 

“So may I ask what you two talked about?”

 

“Sir Morris was looking for a new suitable person.”

 

“A suitable person? Since when? The Duke said I….
No, are you just preparing in case…”

 

Charlotte was asking if he was preparing to break the contract early, but Carcel shook his head.

 

“I didn’t ask for it.
My late father ordered it.”

 

“But why the duke….”

 

Didn’t you know? Charlotte could not finish her words.
That was because an even deeper look was on Carcel’s face.

 

“He requested that the matter be kept a secret.”

 

“………”

 

“Maybe my father wasn’t very trusting of me?”

 

no not like that.
This was the thought of Charlotte, who knew the original story.

 

It’s not that the former duke didn’t trust Carcel, just that he loved him so much that he did.

 

Perhaps the new right person Morris is looking for isn’t for Theo but rather for Carcel.

 

This was in case Sir Heather left the house if Theo learned to control mana and no longer needed a suitable person.

 

They were going to keep it a secret just in case Carcel wouldn’t get suspicious.

 

“But Morris gave a strange report.”

 

“Why ?”

“Randro called him a week ago and asked him to hurry up and find a suitable new person.”

 

“What?”

 

“Randro knew the miss was there, but why…”

 

Carcel was confused by Randro’s solitary act, but Charlotte could understand why he had done it.

 

‘He was trying to get me out of here.’

 

He’s erased my memories of Edgar, but he can’t be relieved.

 

Maybe this is Robert’s plan.
Robert was one of the few who knew that Charlotte was a contractual fiancée.

 

Once Morris finds someone new he may have an excuse to send her away.

 

“It must have been because of losing Sir Heather that he thought nothing would ever happen to him….”

 

Charlotte lowered her voice just in case Theo could hear.
Luckily, Theo has been snooping around potatoes, paying no heed to the two of them.

 

“I’m more likely to be in danger than Sir Heather.
I can’t even use a sword or magic…”

 

“You don’t have to worry about it.
Didn’t I already promise to keep you safe?”

 

“It’s true, but we never know.”

 

“That will never happen.”

 

Carcel, who responded with a strong word, letter by letter, seemed somewhat angry.

 

Charlotte changed the subject because she felt that if we kept talking about this, we were going to be at odds with each other.

 

“The field is so big.
I’m sure everyone had a hard time getting ready.
Next time, I’ll ask the kitchen to cook something delicious for the staff.
Will that be okay?”

 

“You will be the hostess of this palace, of course, you can do whatever you want.”

 

Charlotte had no intention of pretending to be the hostess of the palace, though she was his fiancée.
With the help of Irina, I tried to take care of only what was necessary.

 

I didn’t think of making a luxury using the duke’s money and or making the servants eat as they pleased.

 

But it was the first time Carcel had recognized her as a hostess.

 

Charlotte made a joke out of embarrassment.

 

“Would you even hold a festival if I asked you to do so?”

 

“If that’s what you want, I’ll be ready.”

 

“No, no! I didn’t really mean to have a festival.
Why are you taking my joke so seriously?”

 

“I wasn’t kidding.”
