The swirling leaves fell on the open book.

Aria, who was sitting leaning against the tree, raised her head. The red and yellow leaves harmonized with the blue sky, dazzling her eyes.

‘Cold.’

It seems like the last day that the harsh winter in the north has ended, but the chilly cold has come again.

Aria placed the fallen maple leaf as a bookmark and then she stood up. As she walked, she heard the rustling of leaves beneath her feet.

‘Shall we bake an apple pie today?’

Apple pudding isn’t bad either. Even though she made it a while ago, the pudding split into ten parts the moment it was removed from the mold.

‘I think I can succeed today.’

She kind of felt that way.

With those thoughts, she walked along the maple tree and headed for her house, just straight ahead.

It was about the time she put the tea leaves in the kettle and put it on the stove.

“Miss!”

From outside, someone banged on the door and shouted.

It was Mrs. Palmer’s voice.

As Aria opened the door with a puzzled face, the guest slapped herself in the mouth as if she had made a mistake.

“Look at what I did, Mrs. Valen.”

Valen. It was the pseudonym Aria was using in the Attis region.

It was strange for Grand Prince Valentine and his wife to stay in a different estate for a long time. They hide their identity and pretended to have moved from another territory.

‘A young and wealthy couple who moved to cure the weak wife.’

The locals recognized Aria and Lloyd that way.

Just as Aria wished to go on a trip, they unintentionally went on a long trip.

“Because you’re so young and pretty, I unintentionally called you Miss.”

Mrs. Palmer said, waving her hand in apology.

“I was worried that Mrs. Valen might be starving, so I brought this.”

And she handed the basket she was carrying to Aria. Aria blinked her eyes with a bewildered look, not knowing why she was giving it to her.

‘I’m not really hungry…….’

Her food has always been enough. It was because Valentine’s cooking department family made high-quality meals for Aria.

It was hard for only Carlin, who had to deliver Aria’s meal by movement magic every day.

“These humans must know me as a delivery man.”

Every time Carlin came, he grumbled and cursed the chefs.

– If it’s hard, you don’t have to come.

When Aria said this, he became furious.

“No, then, what are you going to eat in the countryside? You’re already weak, so you should eat plenty of high-calorie foods and nutrients!”

She doesn’t know what to do.

Anyway, thanks to that, even when Aria was here, she was eating just as well as when she was in Valentine.

‘But why did Mrs. Palmer thinks I am starving…….’

Ah, maybe. Aria realized later.

‘The last time I made apple pudding, I was with Mrs. Palmer.’
