Hello! Today I want to say that for those who read chapter "Resting" before 8 December 2021, I suggest you to read it again. As I made a change at the end of the story. I also apologise for publishing this chapter late. It's because of the change I made on the previous chapter. This chapter supposed to have 2000 words but I deleted it because of the change I made. I hope you guys understand.

Thank you.

As the maid is brushing my hair, she ask me a question. "Did my lady had a nightmare?"

"Ahh yes! I did have a nightmare. Why do you ask?" ask me to the maid. Did she saw it through my mind? This world, really.

"My lady's hair is usually really soft but today it all tangled." says the maid without any consideration. She's lucky I'm the one who hear this. If any other nobles, haih, I don't know. Nobles are sensitive.

"Oh, I see. I'm very sorry if it trouble you." says me with an apologetic tone. Though, I really have to apologise to her. I usually don't realise if my hair is tangled or not even though I was the one who brushed my hair. And I think my hair is more thick and longer than Lady Deliah.

"Eh, it's okay. It doesn't trouble since my hair is usually like this too." says the maid while puting the hair comb. She want to style my hair now.

"Mmm, Flora. Let's play a game. I will ask you a lot of weird questions and you have to answer me truthfully. Don't ask why, okay?" says me to the maid to ask permission. I want to ask her something related to the dream in case she knew. Though, I don't really remember much.

"Yes, I will answer everything you ask." say Flora. Among all of the servants here, Flora is the closest one with me in the whole six days I'm here.

"Great! I have a lot to say! Now, let's start with.... Do you know anything related about reincarnation?" ask me to start the questions.

"I do not know anything about reincarnation. But I do know about a curse who related with reincarnation." answer Flora while styling my hair.

"A curse? What kind of curse is it?" ask me again. I think I remember that my dream say about a curse. The only thing I remember is someone say "Curse","Predecessors", and "Choose". Yeah, that's all I remember. Maybe it have something to do with my dream? Who knows.

"It's a curse that really dangerous. Because it really dangerous, everything related to it is kept hidden. Other than it related with reincarnation, I don't know. The temple kept the story of this curse hidden a long time. I hope I don't disappoint you, my lady." says Flora while braiding my hair. It's almost done.

"The Temple? It's really that dangerous... Maybe I can just go but, have to be real careful." thought to myself.

"It's okay. Maybe if I have time, I will go to The Temple to ask them." says me.

"Yes, my lady. Is there any other questions you want to ask?" ask Flora. She already finish styling my hair. Just want to put some accessories.

"Hmmm. I think that's all for now. I will ask again. Thank you." says me.

"My pleasure, my lady. Here, my lady's hair is done!"

"Wah, thank you, Flora." says me with a smile. The hair I always styled in my previous life is just ponytail or easy half braid only. It's very beautiful.

 It's very beautiful

"Yes, my lady. It is my job. Now shall I escort you to the office?"

"Wait. Ahhhh, yes! We shall now." says me after trying to find and wear a bracelet. I just like to wear bracelets. I don't know why.

"My lady, these are the replies for your invitation for now." says The Butler while holding a lot of envelopes.

"Already? I thought you sent it yesterday." thought to myself. Very surprise.

"Put it on the table. I will take a look at it. Can you help me with the paperworks that still left for a while?"

"Yes, my lady."

The Butler put the envelopes on the table and take the paperworks. He then go outside and do his job inside his office near The Count's office.

"Now, let's see who's coming." says me with a smile. I look the every envelope
so I can see from what family is it.

Oh my? There's a reply from Harber Family. I wonder if Lady Yulliana will come. I open the envelope and read what inside it.

........
.......
.......

"OOH MY MAN!!!!! Lady Yulliana really will come! I AM VERY HAPPY! I hope there will be no problem there." shout me after reading the reply. Well, not only Lady Yulliana will come, her younger brother also will come. Her younger brother is only 3 years younger than Lady Deliah. He doesn't really important in the story. He's fine, I guess.

Before I put the letter I got from Harber Family, I saw something small. It's like there's a writing that is small. I read the letter with full concentration because the writing is VERY small. The letter says, "We going to secretly meet inside your room. Don't invite anyone else."

"Oohh. Lady Harber want to discuss something, I see. Wonder what is it." says me with a smug.

Well then. I will not tell this to The Crown Prince. I don't want him to interrupt our conversation. Not only Lady Yulliana want to say something, you know.

I continue reading the other replies. There are also some people that I know because I read the novel. I purposely invite people that I know their names since I know a little about them. The second and third male leads, I also invite them. I don't planning to do anything with them. Just want to get to know them. It doesn't hurt using them to save other people, does it?

Ahh yes! I just want to say that I'm planning to not planning about anything else. My only plan is to know people and close with them. I'm going to use the whole month to learn about them. But, yeah, doing The Count's job is still a priority.

"So you're telling me that Yulliana will come?" says The Crown Prince to me after I say that Lady Yulliana will come to Lady Deliah's birthday.

"Yes. That's a first step." says me with a proud expression.

"No. I mean, she really will come? She doesn't say anything else, right?" ask The Crown Prince. He looks very worried.

"Yes, Lady Yulliana really will come. And no! She doesn't say anything else-ah yes! She did say that her younger brother will come. What is his name again?" says me. I really ask The fourth lord of Duke Harber's name like it was nothing. I feel shame of myself.

The Crown Prince look at me with a little anger and "Are you seriously ask that?" written on his eyes. Don't worry Crown Prince, I also feel the shame. Then, he says Lady Yulliana's younger brother's name.

"His name is...Yullian Harber." says The Crown Prince with a give up tone. He also let out a sigh before he said it.

"Ahh, Lord Yullian. Thank you, Crown Prince!" thank me to The Crown Prince with an excitement tone. Though, I am not excited. I just happy to know his name.

"You're welcome. I guess that's a part of the bet. I will not attend your party. I hope you can accept that." says him.

"I actually want you to attend but, I still can meet you before that. So, I'm okay even if you don't attend the party!" says me with a "I can't accept it" expression and change to "I'm okay either way" expression.

"Just be careful. Promise me that." says him while making a pinky promise hoping me to give my finger too.

"I will. You don't have to worry about me." reply me while completing the pinky promise he made.
