I got an order from the Emperor to fight rebellion in the west. I finished my work like usual. On the way back home, I got shoot in the heart and died. But when I wake up, I am on my desk in my study room. When I look at my surrounding, there's Edward in front of me.

*smile* "Good evening my Lord, are you awake already?" *ask calmly*

I was stunned. Edward still alive? The stubborn worrywart and annoying Edward are still alive? Didn't prince Canderson kill him? Am I dreaming? But he look younger than usual.

*confused* "Edward..."

"Yes, my Lord?"

*stare* "Why are you look younger today?" *sincerely*

*annoyed* "Am I usually look older than today? Does my Lord intending to insult me? Even thought I'm indeed older than you, you shouldn't insult me like this, my Lord. Furthermore we're just 2 years apart." *smile creepily*

He's truly Edward. His nagging was always the same

*tired* "Alright.. alright don't nagging in the morning. What day it's today?" *relax*

*confused* "Do you hit your head or something? It's evening right now. And today date are the second yellow on Aquamary." (it's basically fourth day at the second week on the third month)

"And the years?"

*start to worry* "The year are 142 my Lord, did something happen?"

142 year? Not 156? Am I really dreaming? But I just wake up.

*still worry* "My Lord?"

*come to his sense* "It's nothing. Where's my wife right now?" 

Edward get shocked at my question. Well it's inevitable, since I have never ask about her. 

*unsure* "The Madam probably having evening tea or something?" *ponder*

He's unsure, because he don't really know anything about her. Well, since I never mentions her and Edward always work beside me, he may forgot that I already married. More importantly, she's still alive too, this time I will protect her properly. I won't let her die miserable again!

"It's that so, Edward get our wine here. Let's get younger for today. The work bore me." *ordering*

*sigh* "... As your command, my Lord" *leaving*

Edward come back with a few fine wine. This is my first time to get so drunk. My tolerance in alcohol are high so I rarely get drunk, but that night I drink like crazy. Edward look at me with worry, but I ignore him. Sometimes he act like an old mother or something. He know me since childhood and he's one of a few people who worry about me. He's like an elder brother for me, but sorry Edward, I just want to forget my sorrow of my past life.



A few times later

*talking while running* "My Lady, the Lord are coming... the Lord are coming... My Lady...."

*turn around* "Really?" *disbelieved*

*nodding with all her might* "Yes, my Lady"

*excited* "Quick, prepare the bath! You prepare the bed! You get the aromatic here! Clean the room again, don't leave even a tiny dust in here! Bella, help me get dressed!" *shouting*

*line up* "Yes, Ma'am" *they said it together*

Because of magic, the maid finish their task sooner than expect.
