The Second Male Lead Deserves Better!

It's been a few weeks since I visited Marquise Scilla's mansion.. I kinda miss talking to Lady Quaari. She's actually quite mature for being just 4? And to top that, she's well trained in etiquette. Surprisingly, she's quite interested in biology or, more precisely, Botany.

She seems to know a lot about herbs, a few days back, when I tripped and hurt my leg, the young miss suggested me a few herbal remedies. She gave me all instructions, from how and where to find the herbs to making the medicine. As surprising as it was, I'm still concerned... such a young child as herself being so knowledgable about herbal medicines.. what if she had to depend on herself for medicine.. it would mean that the Marquis not only starves her but abuses her as well!? And all cause she isn't of his blood.. she's just a kid for crying out loud..!

Such a awful man like him doesn't deserve a cheerful and positive girl like her...

Alright, let's not sulk..! I should figure out a way to help her.. In the letter's we had exchanged, Lady Emilia had stated that the young miss hasn't yet received any sort of education, well that is, except etiquette. The young miss did want to learn to read and write, so she could write on her own and not bother Lady Emilia... I should bring some books with me the next time I visit the young miss..!

..that reminds me, I had promised to write the young miss a letter today..!

'Greetings First Lady of the Scilla house,

I hope this letter finds you in the pink of health. I heard that the one of the ladyship's sibling had fallen ill. I hope that I could soon visit the house of Scilla as I am deeply concerned about your health.. Please do take care and make sure you're eating healthy!

I sincerely hope that the lady's sibling recovers soon. The lady seems quite knowledgeable in botany. I would appreciate it if the you could teach me a few things. The Lariensla family would be in your favour. Of course, only if the lady wishes to do so.

I, Ela Lariensla simply wanted to write this letter to make sure that there were no serious problems. If we, the Lariensla, could help you in any sort of way, it would be an honour.

Regards
Ela Lariensla'

Finally! I'm done, it's tiring to act so formal all the time.. atleast I just need to mail this now.

heading down the stairs is surprisingly difficult to get down with these stupidly tiny feet! Why would they put a 5 year olds room at the very top of the house.

Just a little more! I'm almost there..

"Not so fast young lady:

"Huh? AHH--"

"Oh it's just you father, I apologize for screaming"

"Sorry for startling you my dear, but would you be a dear and tell the maid to pack your bag?"

"Pack my bag for what exactly?"

"We're going on a picnic!"

Wait..what!? No, I had everything planned for today! I was gonna go mail this and then i was gonna study history to figure out more about this world! Why did the picnic have to be today? It's ruining everything!

"Okay father!"

I guess going out one day isn't that bad...I'll just mail this when we're leaving
