“I-I watered the garden… I watered it every day, but the flowers are dead again….”

Ariel said what she did wrong in a gloomy voice. Somehow, she made it sound unfair to her.

Maybe it was because she didn’t know why the flowers died after she over-watered them.

“The flowers in the garden are being watered by the gardener regularly on an adjusted timing. If you keep watering them, of course, the flowers will wither.”

“Is that so…? I didn’t know….”

Elysia smiled at Ariel, who dropped her head, saying she didn’t know. Then, in a short stride, she approached Ariel.

Elysia, sitting with Ariel on the bed, stroked her head and said.

“You should be careful next time. You learned new knowledge today.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine.”

Elysia kissed Ariel’s forehead briefly.

It was quite a mistake, but Elysia had a significant influence on Ariel’s mistake.

It was because she was doting on Ariel so much.

“That’s fine since you have reflected on yourself. Today…”

As she comforted Ariel, Elysia sneakily checked the clock on the wall.

Lunch was long past.

“Did you eat?”

“Not yet!”

Ariel shook her head full of expectations to Elysia, who asked if she had eaten.

Since it was Elysia, she was sure that her big sister would ask her to eat together.

However, Ariel’s prediction was beautifully missed.

“I told you not to skip meals. Call Roa and eat first.”

“Huh? What about you?”

“I… I have something to do.”

According to Rachel, Elysia’s maid, this morning, the Duke of Valtine arrived at dawn.

If what she said was true, it must be today.

The day Duke Valtine brought Eden, the male protagonist.

“I see…”

Knowing that Elysia was always busy with her succession class, Ariel didn’t hold onto her sister.

Elysia kissed Ariel’s forehead shortly to show how she was as disappointed as her little sister was.

“….”

Looking at Ariel, who was disappointed, Elysia regained her composure and got out of bed.

Then she left Ariel’s room and walked through the bright hallway.

Around this time, the male protagonist was caught by the Duke of Valtine in the novel.

The year Ariel turned nine, the season when the leaves on the branches began to fall.

‘If my prediction were right, he would have brought Eden around this time.’

Eden who lost his memory.

To be exact, the Duke of Valtine commissioned the wizard tower to erase his memory.

Elysia looked over the window in the hallway.

As Ariel said, the flowers that should have bloomed in autumn drooped and withered because she overwatered them. Elysia watched as the leaves fell between the withered flowers.
