"I'm going to see Eclise right now."

I jumped out of bed when I heard the safe was filled. There was a faint hope in my heart. I have to make him say "I love you" confession right away after I check his favourability. Whether by putting honey on my tongue, coaxing him or forcing him.

lIt was the moment when I was rushing out of my desk. "My lady, wait a minute."

The butler hurriedly blocked my way with a troubled look. "Here is a list of men I'd like to introduce to you."

"What? Who?''

I frowned at the sudden news. The butler moved slowly. "Come in, gentlemen."

And then, in the room that was still open, two first-class knights in armor came in. The first two generals in armor came in.

"They are the new escorts assigned to you, my lady. Sir Philip and Sir Ed." "Hello, my lady. Nice to meet you."

"Please take good care of us, my lady."

"Sir Philip and Sir Ed are members of the Duke's guard, they are the most skilled in swordsmanship"

"Butler."

I called the butler in a cool voice, ignoring the men's polite greetings. "What are you doing now in my room?"

"The Duke"

The butler hesitated for a moment with an embarrassed face, and then managed to open his mouth.

"For now, you have been given the order to keep out of touch with outsiders even members of the family, that includes Eclise."

"W-what?"

Suddenly my vision blurred and all I could see was darkness filling me up.

My rage's red flames that had barely subdued rose to my throat. I clenched my teeth and asked back. I clenched my teeth and asked back.

"Why me?"

"It's simply to keep miss safe until the interrogation is complete." "Safe?"

"Yes."

"Isn't this imprisonment or surveillance?"

It wasn't intended, but my mouth twisted into a smirk.

Looking at me smile like a real evil woman, they couldn't make eye contact with the Lady of the House.

"... That's absolutely not it. It can't be, my lady."

"Then convince me why I can't even meet my escort, and why I have to replace him with new ones." "Young Duke personally... led the knights himself to Priboux."

I opened my eyes wide at the butlers words. Priboux was the name of a village outside the capital where Eclise's teacher lives.

"Why?"

"The guest who came today, I meanYvonne was severely injured by a monster that appeared a few

days ago." "That"

It was said that it wasn't because of monster, but I managed to swallow his words. It didn't matter now whether Yvonne really was the leader of an evil group. "So"

I tried to keep my cool and urged him to continue.

"And the slaves over there took care of the injured guest. But all the slaves were all from Delman." "Wasn't that news that the butler already knew?"

It was a fact that I did not know at the time that I had found the right teacher for Eclise. Because the farm where slaves work was located in a remote place, quite far from this village.
