BIRTHDAY

The winter in the Duke's mansion had simply passed by. There wasn't anything to celebrate unlike on earth where they spend Christmas.

So, Leticia would just simply spend her time with them like usual.

And like what Hugh said, she didn't attend any tea parties and just exchanged letters with the ladies, which are Lady Josephine and the Princess.

One of the few things that she was busy with herself was exchanging wooden swords with her stepmother on the training arena next to the training ground of the knights.

The thick walls reverberated with sounds of clashes that came from the center of the training arena.

The knights already finished their training and so, only Countess Lauren and Leticia are using it in the afternoon.

"Leticia! Pick up the sword again!" Countess Lauren screamed.

Leticia groans. She's been meeting the cold ground a few times now and the culprit is her stepmother, Countess Lauren.
