''My lady, is Lady Daiki going to be alright?''  Ryosuke asked her governess. They were awaken when their father, Lieutenant Yuya and Hikaru arrived with Lady Daiki wounded, bruised and unconscious. Fortunately, Lady Kei was in the manor to help Yuta look after the children.

''Of course, she is Dai-chan.''  She gave the children a reassuring smile.

''She'll be fine, Kota. Her wounds aren't to deep but they would sting like hell.''

''Kei!''  The lady laughed.

''I'll leave you two.''  Lady Kei left the room but the children came running inside.

''Papa!''  Ryosuke moved to her father's side.

Lady Daiki whimpered when Yuri jumped to the woman's bed.

''Yuri! You'll wake her up!''  Yuto scolded his sister but Yuri stuck her tongue at her brother.

''Welcome home.''  Yuri kissed the sleeping Daiki. Ryutaro lay quietly beside the woman.

Kota left the children and went back to his study.

''Ne--Would you be angry if I find a new mother for the children?''  Kota faced the painting of a beautiful woman on the wall.

''I found a woman, I've learned to love and she loves that children, too. She's nothing like you. You are different, you are and will always be the mother of my children and I will always love you. Would you give us your blessing, Aki?''

Lady Tatsuya slammed her hand on Kota's desk. Her husband Ryo tried to calm her down.

''Just as I thought, it would come to this!''

''My lady, please calm down. She's out of danger. She'll be fine.''

''I want out, Colonel. I won't use my governess again to do your bidding. To hell with your government!''

''My lady. You have been a great help to us.''

''No. Daiki is enough. I won't risk any of my governess anymore.''

''But, Lady Tatsuya!''

The lady grabbed the pouch of Opium from Hikaru.

''This! This almost cost Daiki her life. My girls will die one by one because of me spying for you! What happened to Daiki is enough. I won't spy for you anymore!''

''We really need your help, my lady!''  Kota bowed to her. 

''Can you guarantee her safety?!''

''Yes, I can!''

''You can say that right now but you don't know her, Colonel. You don't know her at all! This time, you like her then you might want to kill her next! Is that how you're going to protect her?!''

The colonel stopped. ''What? ''

Daiki whimpered and slowly opened her eyes.

''My lady.'' 

''Colonel? ''

''How are you feeling? ''

''It hurts like hell..''  She coughed. Kota took a glass of water and let her drink.

''What am I doing here? ''

''I'll tell you later. Rest more. I'll ask one of the servants to bring you something to eat.''

''Thank you.''

She was allowed to go outside her room after another day of rest. The children were delighted to see their governess. They spend more time with her than Yuta but it didn't bother the other governess a bit. They are still naughty and they play pranks on her thus, she didn't mind them if they're with Daiki.
