"Ella."

"Yes, My Lady?"

"Where is the maid that came with me from the Loire?"

I asked nonchalantly.

"Ah. She is ordered by the Crown Prince to wash the clothes of the Knights downstairs."

Ella replied, gently brushing my hair.

"Pfft! Is that so?'

I said with a smile.

"Yes. To be honest, she deserved it. She was bad-mouthing you."

"Is that so?"

I asked in a weak tone.

I see you are the same as you were in the past… However, you don't matter to me now.

"Ahh~ My Lady, do-don't think about that witc- I mean maid now. Wh-What fragrance do you want to use, My Lady? What about this lavender? Or perhaps this Jasmine?"

Ella mumbled in a nervous tone.

Pfft! I guess she freaked out because she thought I was sad about Anne.

"Let's use the Jasmine fragrance."

I said with a gentle smile.

"Y-Yes!"
