The Duke of Superion led Lelia to a suite where Elizabeth had stayed until she got married.

(E/N: A suite would be a group of rooms that are meant to be used as a whole, similar to an apartment.)

The maids had recently cleaned these rooms, but it seems that the maids attended to the suite on a daily basis.

Lelia looked at the cutely decorated rooms.

She was able to get a sense of her mother's taste in the hut, but she could feel more of it in these rooms.

It was so pretty.

[Besides, it can't be taken away by her Brothers, Cedric and Damien.]

Her mother's suite was divided into a large living room and bedroom, a bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a study that lay past unopened arched doors.

It was so spacious that she dreamed of staying here forever. It seemed better than the single room she had back in the temple.

(Editor: The sitting/living room and bedroom seem to be "one room".)

Lelia could feel her mother as she looked around her rooms.

The Duke of Superion was following and watching Lelia as she explored the different rooms.

"Oh, I have something to give you."

"Yeah?"

The Duke of Superion then led Lelia back to the living room.

On one of the tables lay a mysterious package.

"Open it."

At the Duke's words, Lelia carefully opened the package.

Inside was an ornate box that sparkled with gold. She carefully lifted it up and opened it, revealing a clear, and beautiful song.

"It's a music box."

Lelia exclaimed with a happy expression.

"Yeah, this was originally a present for Elizabeth. She loved music boxes since she was a child."

"Ah..."

At those words, Lelia felt her heart fill up with something warm. She cradled the music box to her chest.

"This is a gift from your mother, and I will give you more gifts from now on. You should never refuse them and take all of them. Got it?"

"Yeah..."

When Lelia answered, the Duke patted her head in a curious way.

It was then...

She heard a knock, well more like a Bang-Bang.

Duke Superion's brow furrowed.

The door soon opened and a man walked in with an angry expression.

"Ugh!"

Lelia was startled and subconsciously went to hide behind Duke of Superion's back.

"Father!"

Opening the door was a young man with an angry face.

He was one of her mother's brothers, it was the man she had seen in her mother's cabin.

"Mind yourself..."

Carius, who came in angry, stopped when he briefly saw Lelia's face before she hid behind the duke again.

[Why did he come in here so enraged at his father for bringing home a child?]

He couldn't believe it was her.

He blinked in disbelief.

His face turned very red and he began to shout loudly.
