After talking with my parents, I steadily made preparations to leave for the Busquet territory while attending school.

The first step is choosing who to go with.

Because of what happened before, I was thinking of having another maid accompany me instead of taking Sarah with me.
Of course, if Sarah was there, it would be reassuring. Still, the possibility of the same thing happening is not zero.

However, it was Sarah who refused to yield.
Certainly, the current Sara doesn't know what happened in the past on the way to the Busquet territory.
That's why Sara, as my exclusive maid, and as someone who understands me, insisted that she would definitely go with me.

I still struggle with whether or not I should take him with me. Still, it was also true that Sara's feelings made me happy.

One more thing, don't forget.
That's the bodyguard. Although she was a child of a noble family last time, there was a strong view that she was a sinner who harmed a saint, so her parents probably couldn't bring her guards to the public. As a result, he was attacked by bandits and lost his life.
But this time it's different. His father said that he would choose the most skilled of the Marcel family's private army.

However, during my research, I came to know a surprising fact.
In order to eliminate as much of the danger as possible, the forest that connects the Buske territory and the Myshirie territory in front of it. It happened when I was investigating about the thieves there.

Forest advancing to enter the Busquet territory.
That's right, the place where I was killed by thieves along with Sarah and the driver in order to go to the monastery.
That place was usually guarded by soldiers from the Busquet and Mycilie territories. This is because the forest is the only road that connects the Busquet territory and the Mycilie territory.
For that reason, many incidents of being attacked by thieves continued there many decades ago, so now soldiers are stationed there.

Since then, there have been no reports of bandit damage.
When I heard this report, I was so upset that my father worried about me. However, while trying to cover it up somehow, I was finally able to calmly accept the fact when I left the room and was alone.

So it was intended that I was attacked...?

The unexpected truth sent chills down my spine.
Even so, I am the only one who knows the past. And why, who, and for what purpose let the soldiers loose their guard and let the bandits attack us.

And who is the person who did such a thing?

The truth seems to be visible, but it cannot be seen.
Also, the feeling of fear of knowing makes my heart thunder.
Still, we should not be afraid to know the past. That's how he scolds himself.
I'm sure that the answer I want isn't the only one prepared for where I'm headed in the future. That's why you have to accept whatever consequences lie ahead so that your feelings don't get pulled in the negative.

As the preparation progressed, the number of dreams and flashbacks of that time increased.
As a result, I often have bad dreams and can't sleep.

Even so, when I finally found an answer that satisfies my father about the flow of the trip, I was able to visit the Great Church.

“Rachel-san, it’s been a while.”
"Yeah. Anna, I'm sorry I'm late even though I thought I'd come to you sooner."
"No way! Thank you for your letters. I'm always really happy to receive letters from Mr. Rachel..."

I met Anna for the first time since we met at my house.
However, Anna-san's previous gloomy appearance has disappeared, and she shows me a lively and bright expression.
According to what I hear, she's desperately trying to absorb what she learns at church, and lately she seems to enjoy talking to a lot of people.
