Even if Abel and his group are like that, it's really rare for even Louis to be absent.
“Simone, please move around a bit! Take a walk like you used to! Don’t stay in your room and do nothing for a few days!”
Finally, unable to stand watching this any longer, Kaylee screamed.
It's already been three days since Simone wasted the day like that, saying that she was finally alone and could spend some time leisurely.
Kaylee couldn't stand to watch any longer.
In the past, she would go for a walk in the garden to get some fresh air, but recently, after going outside for a while, she seems to have completely lost interest in walking.
“Go outside and get some fresh air. Our employees can also clean up comfortably. Hurry up!”
Simone pointed to the terrace with her finger as she watched Kaylee nagging like her mother.
“I’m telling you. The terrace door is open.”
Simone spoke like the world's most lazy person but eventually got up at Kaylee's glare.
“I'll be back.”
It wasn't that Kaylee was specifically aiming for it, she just accepted what she said because she felt the employees would be more comfortable cleaning if she wasn't confident.
'Hmm...'
What am I doing?
She's been playing around for a few days now and she feels like she needs to do something.
'Should I lift the curse?'
Simone walked absentmindedly, thinking lightly.
But the incident with Viscount Delang a while ago was so big that she didn't feel like looking through the manual to find the curse.
'Isn't there an easy curse?'
It was just enough to wander around the mansion and come across easy curses to defeat.
Simone, who was walking around the mansion to patrol and kill time, stopped in front of the large terrace connected to the lobby on the third floor.
“If you keep doing this, you will soon be able to go to school safely.”
“Is that really true?”
At a table set up on one side of the terrace, Jace and his tutor were finishing up their lesson.
He usually stayed in his room, but it seemed like he came out onto the terrace because the weather was nice.
As Simone stood there watching them without realizing it, Jace noticed her gaze and poked his head out. Soon, he saw Simone and jumped up in surprise.
“Thank you for your hard work, teacher!”
“Yes? Yes. Then I will see you tomorrow, Your Grace.”
As soon as the tutor finished speaking, Jace ran to stand in front of Simone.
“Simone!”
“Hello, Young Master.”
Whenever he saw her, his eyes were so bright and clear. Even though he was similar in age to Simone, she felt like she was looking at a younger sibling.
'No, in real age, it's true that he's a much younger sibling.'
That's true, but how should she put it, it's a bit different from Louis.
Jace has a unique, innocent, and delicate atmosphere that makes it seem like if your grandparents saw it and said, “Oh, my little puppy!” and “Baby rabbit!” and adored him, he still hasn’t been touched by the world.
Even Simone, who usually showed her timidity, annoyance, and indifference to everyone without any distinction, was careful not to hurt the young master.
That was Jace.
And strangely enough, Jayce liked Simone.
It was a feeling closer to admiration than a rational one.
Jace was busy attending classes, and Simone was busy handling Marquis Barrington's requests, so they rarely had the chance to meet, but whenever they did, Jace's gaze would inevitably turn to Simone.
It was the same even then.
“Simone, that is...”
Although he is afraid that Simone might feel offended, he cannot bring himself to speak to her, but he looks like he is dying to talk to her.
'Yeah, I have nothing to do anyway.'
Simone forced a smile and gestured to Jace.
“Then shall we take a walk for a while?”
Then Jace's expression brightened noticeably.
"Yes!"
He answered forcefully.
The servants nodded solemnly at Simone's words that she would go for a walk with Jace and spoke to her resolutely.
“Lady Simone, please take good care of Master Jace. Please. Please!”
“Huh? Yes. What?”
“Of course!”
Simone didn't understand what they were saying at first, but she nodded, understanding that they were asking her to take good care of him because he was just like a child.
The servants watched Simone and Jace anxiously until they completely disappeared.
Is this the first time she's seen Jace since she heard about the Marquis of Barrington's request?
While Simone and her party were busy solving the quest, Jace's inner self seemed to have grown a lot.
He is no more flustered than before, he has learned to choose his words more carefully, and above all, although he is timid and shy, once he starts talking, he can speak well.
“So I want to go to school soon, but they said I can’t do it yet. I guess I still have a lot of shortcomings...”
Of course, every word he said was full of insecurity and discouragement.
“You haven’t been awake for long. If you just catch up with the curriculum, you’ll be sent to school soon.”
Florier would come by every now and then to brag about how quickly Jace was progressing through the curriculum.
However, to enter a school appropriate for Jace's age, he still has a lot to learn, and, above all, he must also have the attitude of a nobleman.
He is the successor to the Illestone family, which is already full of faults, so if there is even the slightest opening, people might rush in to harass him.
The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Illeston will also keep this in mind and will likely be delaying their admission as much as possible.
Jace had a very regretful expression on his face, but he nodded obediently to Simone's words.
“Simone... don’t you go to school?”
Simone stood tall.
“School?”
“Yes, Simone, you are seventeen, so you can go to school.”
“Is that so?”
How do I explain this?
In the first place, unless you were a noble, you often didn't have the luxury of going to school and learning, so naturally Simone wasn't able to go to school either.
Of course, even if Simone were to be told to go to school, she would refuse.
'How did I graduate?'
It's been two years since she graduated and got a job. Going back to the place of learning? Shr absolutely hates it.
Even though Florier had been showing signs of wanting her to study with Jace recently, Simone had been refusing because she needed to lift the curse.
“I have no interest in learning.”
Maybe he asked because he wanted to go to school with me?
But anyway, the school that Jace will attend will be a school only for nobles, so Simone can't go.
Let's just put it this way, so that later his tutor will explain to Jace why Simone can't go to school.
“Oh, I see.”
Jace glanced at Simone.
He wants to say something, but he doesn't know what to say to Simone to get her interested.
Jace followed Simone for a while, then looked up as if something had occurred to him.
“Did the Marquis Barrington’s request go well?”
The last time he saw Simone, she was discussing with her colleagues a commission for the Marquis of Barrington.
And then she disappeared for a few days.
He can't tell her how anxious he was, wondering if any of the employees were hurt.
Simone smirked at Jace, whose worry was clearly visible on his face.
“Of course! It worked out well.”
Was there ever a person in the original world, or in this world, who cared so purely for her?
It was a little burdensome, but Simone didn't feel bad.
Simone started walking again, and Jace followed her immediately.
Being with Jace made her remember that day, something she had briefly forgotten.
'Come to think of it, that summoning circle was also drawn in the room where Jace was imprisoned.'
The symbol that the Occult Society had drawn in blood to summon Anasis was the same symbol that had been seen when Florier and Jace's curse was lifted.
Why was that summoning circle in Florier and Jace's room?
The black magician who visited this mansion called Anasis a giant, so she can roughly tell that he is a black magician from the Occult Society.
Did he try to summon Anasis with the animal corpse created by Florier and Jace?
'Why Jace?'
Was it just because it was easier to penetrate Florier's weakened mind due to the curse that he sacrificed Jace?
Simone, who had been wondering, was able to figure out the reason surprisingly easily after a while.
“Hey, what is that person doing over there?”
Jace pointed to a servant circling in place, laughing loudly between the garden and the mansion buildings.
"Uh..."
Simone stopped walking, frozen.
Fifty second, if you see a woman spinning around in place, avoid eye contact and immediately run away in the opposite direction.
Oh no, so suddenly?
Simone clicked her tongue and quickly grabbed Jace's arm and started running in the other direction.
What about these people? What if they don't teach Jace the most important instruction book in this mansion!
Of course, it may be difficult for Jace, who has just started studying, to understand, but shouldn't they teach him that first?
Up until now, it seems that the servants who always accompanied him have been keeping him safe.
'Oh, so that's why you said you would take good care of him earlier?'
He doesn't know what the instructions say? Ahh-!
Simone now understood why the servants had been so overly serious before the walk.
“Simone, please move around a bit! Take a walk like you used to! Don’t stay in your room and do nothing for a few days!”
Finally, unable to stand watching this any longer, Kaylee screamed.
It's already been three days since Simone wasted the day like that, saying that she was finally alone and could spend some time leisurely.
Kaylee couldn't stand to watch any longer.
In the past, she would go for a walk in the garden to get some fresh air, but recently, after going outside for a while, she seems to have completely lost interest in walking.
