much and quickly left for Dreamland.

 

It’s time for Charlotte to cover Theo with a blanket and get up.

 

The door opened and Carcel appeared.

 

“Uh.”

 

He stopped at the door, unaware that Charlotte was inside.
Charlotte put her index finger on her lips and whispered softly.

 

“Theo just fell asleep, I was about to leave.
Come on .”

 

He bowed his head to Charlotte.

 

When Charlotte tried to leave, he grabbed her.

 

“What is there ?”

 

“I have something to give you, can you wait here?”

 

“Ah,ok .”

 

Carcel left the room with quick steps, saying that he would be back again. 

Charlotte sat in the room at a corner table and waited quietly for him.

 

Perhaps it was because Theo, who was chattering, fell asleep and got dark.

 

The gloom that had been buried away for a while started to flow in again.


 

Charlotte looked at Theo, who was sleeping, turning over in bed to ease her grief.

 

Shortly after, Carcel returned.

 

He shut the door so as not to make a sound from outside, and went inside, and what he handed to Charlotte was a flat green velvet box .

 

Charlotte’s gaze was aware of it.

 

“This ….”

 

Charlotte, overwhelmed by desperate expectations, did not dare to receive the box.

 

If the thing you thought was not in the box when you opened it, you might not be able to stand the overwhelming disappointment.

 

Carcel spoke softly to her, perhaps because he had noticed what was in Charlotte’s heart.

 

“Please, open it.”

 

As soon as she opened the box, she saw exactly what she was expecting.

 

Sapphire bracelet

 

It shines in front of the faint orange candle.

 

  

It looked like the last time she saw it.

 

“How did you do this ….”

 

Her voice trembled at the end.

 

“You knew Sir Heather’s origin and thought it would be a good idea to bring him….”

 

Hearing this, Charlotte gently wiped the sapphire necklace, bracelet, and earrings.

 

Is this because of my heart shaking? A tear fell on the sapphire necklace.

 

I tried to hold back my tears after thinking that I would be ugly in front of Carcel, but another tear fell.

 

A sapphire necklace, not a diamond.

 

It was a gift that Baron Lannia and his wife had prepared with all their hearts, but in fact it wasn’t very expensive jewelry.

 

The sapphire was less transparent and the sphere was not developed.

 

But for Charlotte, these jewelries were more precious than anything in the world.

 

It was a symbol that she became ‘Charlotte Lannia.’ It was the driving force that allowed her to live as ‘Charlotte’.

 

She still remembers the first time she received this two years ago.

 

Her parents and brothers, who looked at her with great anticipation, and the servants who praised her when she wore it.


 

In fact, when she received profits from the mine, she thought that she wanted to get this necklace back.

 

The dividend was more than the debt and despite this she might be able to pay for the jewelry.

 

But she soon gave up.

 

Even if this year’s crop was fruitful, this year’s crop was not very good, and it had to prepare for the next year.

 

If she could find this necklace, she would have preferred to spend the money on cultivation.

 

That was the noble virtue I had learned from the Lannia family during the three years.

 

‘It’s already out of my hand, so it’s no longer mine.’

 

However, regardless of thinking this way all that was left was regret.

 

“Thank you .”

 

Charlotte said, barely swallowing her escalating feelings.

 

“I did what I had to do.”

 

Charlotte’s words to Carcel each time were a “Thank You”.

 

Nevertheless, Charlotte was grateful for his work on purposely keeping track of the contract.

 

“However, thank you.
It is something I cherish.”

 

Charlotte smiled at him with all her heart.

 

For a moment it seemed that something had changed in his face, dimly reflected in the candlelight.

 

But the change was so slight that she couldn’t tell what had changed.

 

Carcel licked his lips as if he was trying to say something.

 

Charlotte looked into his eyes and waited for him to speak.

 

However, she couldn’t hear anything from him, so she looked at the jewelry ​​again.

 

Necklace, earrings and bracelet.

 

It was time to admire this stuff in front of her because she didn’t have time to do it right, and then Carcel’s voice fell off.

 

“It’s getting late, we have to leave early tomorrow.
So you better sleep.”

 

“Yes, I understand.”

 

“Okay, goodnight.”

 

Carcel glanced at Charlotte’s forehead and then left the room.

 

He looked like he was a bit rushed, maybe because of his temper, he was moving with great strides.
