After finishing her meal, Cordelia returned to her room to prepare to go to the Alcott mansion.
In less than half an hour, she left the mansion with Emina and headed towards the Alcott mansion.
Cyrus gave her the deep crimson diary before shed left. Of course, it was boorish to read others diaries, so she suppressed her curiosity and wrapped it in a cloth topped with a ribbon. She was sure that this would prevent her from 『seeing the contents when it dropped』. That was important. She might have seemed absurd, but she wanted to eliminate any chances of that happening.
Cordelia firmly held the diary as she sat in the carriage and she noticed a glanced from in front of her.
Whats wrong Emina?
Ojou-sama. If something does happen, then please prioritise your safety first.
Its rare for you to say something like that Emina.
Im sorry if Ive offended you.
You didnt. Youre saying that because youre worried about me, right?
Cordelia just simply said what she felt, but she thought that her way of speaking could have been perceived as her talking down to Emina, so she quickly explained. But, it was indeed rare. Emina wasnt the type of person to speak freely.
Are you worried about something?
No. But I dont have a good feeling about this.
Yeah. I dont think anything good is waiting for us.
At least, the desired result wouldnt be achieved if this was a fraud case. However, she never thought that Emina would say something so obvious to her, since she had watched Cordelia grow up.
( Did she hear something from Onii-sama?)
If Cyrus, Christinas host, had ordered Emina, then it wouldnt be strange for her to receive instructions from him. He had also warned Cordelia vaguely about the matter, but he didnt give her any information directly. She presumed that he had also done the same thing to Emina.
Okay. Thanks, Emina.
She was only spectating, he should have explained what he could to Emina.
(If Emina does know something, then shell give me some kind of signal. My job is not to miss it.)
Cordelia believed that and decided that she would observe Emina carefully. But, at the same time, she also reflected on that fact that she got Emina involved in that mess.
(I really have to do my best to thank her.)
I feel awful that she still hasnt taken her holiday for the Founding Festival, and now shes being involved in something that requires caution.
The carriage stopped slowly as Cordelia thought that. They had arrived at the Alcott mansion.
???????
Cordelia and Emina got off the carriage and were guided to the parlour by a servant.
Good morning, sister-in-law.
Good morning, Cordelia-sama and Emina-san.
Christina appeared not long after them, and her maid followed behind her.
Her maid was pushing a cart with tea and bite-sized cheese tarts.
( I can eat some calories if were going to walk later. The tarts arent that big If I exercise a little when I get home, then itll be fine.)
She had eaten enough at breakfast, but she couldnt refuse because the cheese tarts were small and Christina also urged her to eat in a charming voice, Please have some. She put the cheese tarts into her mouth and the rich taste of cheese and raspberry burst in her mouth. She was in an excellent mood.
