I couldn't raise my head and coughed.

I couldn't stop coughing because the soup I just ate went in the wrong way.

"I'll get some lukewarm water. Don't drink cold water and stay for a moment."

Bessie left the room quickly and came back meanwhile the coughs didn't stop.

I gulped down the lukewarm water that Bessie brought me.

The neck and hands trembled together.

'That luggage bag, oh god, I didn't clean it up!'

When I didn't know this was going to happen, I mean, when I know that Ji-eun was Irene, I forgot to clean it up.

I knew I could run away as smoothly as I planned, so I had packed my necessary luggage in advance and hid it in the closet.

Then I forgot.

'No, I thought I'd clean it up in the middle, but....'

This crazy thing, I only thought about it.

I skipped important practices and had forgotten it until this moment.

'How can I do that?'

I was speechless at my stupidity.

The cough stopped, but my heart was pounding even more.

Bessie anxiously examined my appearance.

"Are you all right now? Do you want more water?"

"Oh, no. It's okay. No more coughing."

"That's a relief, I was very surprised."

I sighed and Bessie continued.

"By the way, that luggage bag. When did you pack it up like that?"

My head is spinning.

The luggage bag hidden in the closet was not big in volume, but it was transparently packed for the purpose of leaving far away.

'I got caught? I really got caught, right? But what should I say?'

My eyes were shaking nervously, as I put the glass near my face to hide the expression.

At that time, Bessie's voice sounded happy.

"My lady, you should just say it."

"......just say?"

"You wanted to go to the territory. Like you did when you were young."

'Territory? When I was young?'

I blink one's eyes at a moment's notice.

A brief exclamation soon came out.

Ah.

"At that time, you packed your bags and hid them in advance as you did now, right? Do you know how cute you were when everyone thought......."

Bessie grinned with her memory-soaked eyes.

That's right.

I was.

So when I was really young, about six years old?

As Bessie said, at the time, I had packed my luggage and hid it at night the day before I went down to the territory with my family, and was caught by a servant like this.

But it wasn't because I was expecting to go to the territory......

'I was trying to run away then, too.'
