“I fell asleep while organizing the infirmary.”

Throughout my excuse, the trainees looked at me as if I were an angel who had just fallen to the ground.

“I’ll reflect on my mistake…”

“I’ll also… reflect on my mistake.”

It’s no surprise.

It was the end of the martial arts meeting, so everyone was gathering together.

“Actually, I misunderstood Miss Selina because of that rumor.”

“That’s right. I would have believed the rumor if I hadn’t met you in person like this.”

The rumor that the trainees were talking about was that I stuttered and never wanted to come out to meet people.

Among the trainees, there were also some nobles who were really on probation.

Jenna, the Count Gransen’s daughter, for example.

“Because the Countess only brought her own daughter to the banquet and never mentioned Miss Selina.”

“Yes, I suppose so…”

I responded back with a sad smile.

As if I couldn’t say it with my own mouth, I looked away and pretended to shed tears.

Everyone knew I wasn’t Camilla’s biological daughter.

It was also self-evident that she, who had already received the title of Count Crowford family head, had no reason to be nice to me any longer.

“Oh my goodness.”

“Then the rumor means…”

I smiled and pointed to the potion tray, continuing to act as if I were a noble lady who works hard despite her pitiful circumstances.

“Should we then finish what we were doing? There are still people in prison who needs our additional help!”

“Yes, of course!”

A smile I saw through the closing door came to mind as I made my way to prison with the other trainees.

‘Why hasn’t the man escaped yet?’

He is totally capable of doing so.

“Because he doesn’t have anywhere else to go.”

The question was easily resolved when I asked Franz.

“Who, by the way, would accept a Toono from a martial arts competition? Except for the Holy Knights.”

His oily lips glistened with greed.

It was because of the pork sausage I had secretly obtained.

After seeing that, Franz hardened for five minutes as if in agony, raised a long prayer once, and then went to eat in the closet under the stairs.

‘Such a cute guy.’

Franz accepted the freshly prepared sausage.

I wasn’t going to force him to take it if he refused.

Well, I could understand him a bit as I was unable to eat meat for a month here.

However, I will be returning to the Countdom soon, so the exhausting vegetarian diet will be over.

I also gave him the sausage I was going to eat.

“Eat this as well.”

“A-are you sure?”
