One month passed and it is the time for Lacy to go back to her challenging life and the former duke Lucien bid his goodbye to his granddaughter.
"Whenever you need a home, this house is always open for you. Whenever you need a help, this old hag is ready to lend a hand. And whenever you're in danger, I'm here to kill them. Okay?" seryosong sambit nito sa kaniya.
Natatawang tumango si Lacy sa kaniya bago yumuko habang nakasaludo sa kaniyang lolo. "Of course. Take care of yourself too, if you need help I'm one call away."
Tumango naman si Lucien at pinagbuksan ang kaniyang apo sa carriage nito, inalalayan pa siya nito papasok bago guluhin ang buhok nang makaupo na. "Take care and be safe," paalala nito.
Lacy nods her head and smiles at him before he shut the door.
"Be aware of your surroundings, make sure she'll be home safe," paalala ni Lucien sa mga kasamang guards nito. Ang pinaka-head na si Trick Abawi ay kasa-kasama nila at ito ang nasa unahan upang i-lead ang bagon.
Sumaludo pa ang mga ito bago umalis nang tuluyan.
Napagdesisyunan nilang sa gabi umalis upang hindi maka-attract ng ibang tao at para na rin walang bonggang handaan o salubong pagka-uwi dahil hindi niya forte ang mga handaan na grande, uuwi lang siya hindi siya nanalo sa kahit anong palahok o laban, na kung saan ibinuwis niya ang kaniyang buhay.
Ala-sais y medya sila umalis at halos pitong oras ang byahe, hindi pa kasama ang ilang tigil nila upang mamahinga, kung susumain lahat, sampung oras silang naglakbay gamit lamang ang karwahe, kasa-kasama ang iilang knights na pinasama upang ihatid siya.
Madaling araw na nang makarating sila, kaya naman ang iilang tauhan na lang ang sumalubong sa kaniya, ang kaniyang ama ay nasa harapan ng kanilang main door, nakasuot ng kulay asul na pantulog at may mahaba pa itong cardigan na puti na suot-suot.
Nakasalamin pa ito at bahagyang magulo ang buhok, inalalayan siya nitong bumababa nang mabuksan ni Trick ang pinto ng karwahe. Naunan itong umuwi at hinintay na lamang siyang makauwi rito sa kanilang bagong disenyong bahay.
"How's your trip?" he asked.
"Tiring," she mumbled. Tumango naman si Lucian at sinabihan ang ibang tauhan na humihikab-hikab pa, na dalhin ang mga gamit sa kwarto niya.
Tinanong ni Lacy ang butler nila kung naihanda ba ang mga kwartong tutulugan nila. Tutal, na-renovate na ang bahay nila, mas malaki na at mas lalo pang pinalawak ang harapan at wala na ring masyadong hala-halaman katulad dati, nandoon pa rin ang dating vibes ng bahay pero masasabi mong bago na ito at minentain pa rin ang ambiance ng bahay. Nandoon pa rin ang familairity ng bahay.
The conditions of what she wanted was followed. The mood is still there and she's quite contented that it went well.
Nilingon ni Lacy si Trick na tumutulong na magdiskargado ng mga gamit, "Sir Abawi, after that you can all rest up and butler Jerome will lead you there," sambit nito sa kaniya nang lumingon ito sa kaniya.
Kaagad na tumango ang binatang Trick at nagpasalamat bago bumalik sa pagtulong.
Inalalayan kaagad siya ng kaniyang ama papunta sa kaniyang kwarto, "Sleep now, I'll take care of rest." Lacy lazily nodded her head.
"Okay, thank you," she mumbled before entering her room.
This is the time that she miss her bed again, after such a long time of riding in a carriage. There are times that the tiredness she feeling right now happened before. The time when her grandfather trained her for self-defenses and enhancing her skills. It was torture and her grandfather doesn't want to stop until she proved herself that she could do it without any mistakes.
