It took several days to prepare for the move.

Meanwhile, Lalisa headed for Richel.

In the midst of early summer, Richel estate was full of green energy.

When the carriage stopped, the children rushed out to the front yard to wait for Lalisa to come down.

"Lalisa!"

Soon after she got off, five or six children clung together and hugged her.

Smiling brightly, Lalisa took her children's hands and entered her gate.

"Welcome, Lalisa."

Gabrielle greeted her with a warm smile as always.

Seeing that, Lalisa quickly felt comfortable as usual.

"Gabrielle, I think I'll be leaving a little farther away soon."

When only the two of them were left in the parlor, Lalisa opened her mouth.

"How far away is it?"

"It's a long way from here, so I don't think I'll stop by here anymore."

The territory of Seyref, where Lalisa decided to stay, was located on the opposite side of the Grand Duchy.

Gabrielle opened her eyes wide in surprise, soon asked calmly.

"Did you decide to stay with him?"

"... no."

As Lalisa lifted her mouth with a sullen expression, Gabrielle looked at her anxiously.

"After you go there, you plan to go to another place again."

"Anywhere else... ."

"It's a foreign country. I'm going to a place that's very, very far from the Empire, where he can't find me no matter how much he searches."

This time, she will have to live alone without anyone's help.

It was a time when she had to stand alone without people who accepted and cared for her unconditionally like when she was living in the Holy Land.

Gabrielle asked with a worried face.

"Lalisa, when the Holy Land is stable, can't we just go back to the old days? Can you hang in there, then leave with me and the kids, huh?"

"... no. If I go to the Holy Land, I will be captured by that person again."

Junkook already knew she was in Holy Land, so now she couldn't go there again.

"Lalisa, then... Why don't you go with Jimin? He will definitely go with you."

At Gabrielle's suggestion, Lalisa lowered her gaze as if contemplating, and answered.

"No. Jimin will have to continue his priesthood... I can't cause him any more trouble."

Then Gabrielle immediately shook her head. Jimin was still waiting eagerly for a call from Lalisa.

How much he cared and wished for Lalisa, Gabrielle was actually aware of.

"If you don't like it, I can't help it, but he'll be happy to follow you."

"... "

"So think about it. It's because I'm so worried that you're leaving alone."

Lalisa nodded slightly.

"Yes I will."

She had to meet Jimin once before leaving. At the very least, she should exchange letters. If he offered to help, Lalisa had no reason to refuse.
