"…Ah."
"I'm also curious about your skills that would have improved after killing the deer."
In fact, I already knew what had improved.
Because last night, I was able to quickly avoid Ian when he tried to catch me before leaving his room.
If it was a normal situation, I would have been caught at once.
Leslie said I lacked agility compared to Ian, which must have been supplemented.
"Now I can see your changed skills every day."
Ian said with his arms folded.
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Oh, okay."
I answered awkwardly.
It was a little embarrassing to think about meeting Ian every day at Wade's mansion starting tomorrow.
"You came every day, and you didn't take a lot of steps of improvement from some point on."
Ian squinted and said.
"I hope you will regain your initial commitment to me again. Don't worry about useless people."
Eventually, Robert became a useless man according to Ian.
After finding my biological parents, I really vowed to become a new person.
But last night, when I heard the name Annabelle Nadit, my heart sank.
There was a huge change in my personal life, but it was the fact that I tried to do something good.
I was the one who Ian said, 'I'm sick and tired of'.
Come to think of it, I felt a little shameless.
At first, I definitely tried to live a life that had nothing to do with Ian…
Somehow, it became a relationship that had me entrusting my family's personal affairs to him.
I even decided to be a child who knows chivalry when I was being sword-trained by Leslie.
"Hey, Ian."
I hesitated and carefully opened my mouth.
"If God asks you to make a wish, what will you answer?"
I asked Ian with the intention of paying him back because I felt like I was in debt.
Ian frowned at my sudden question.
However, after thinking for a while, he answered sincerely.
"World peace?"
"Wow, it's really exemplary and boring."
I sighed and asked again.
"Do you have any other wishes for you?"
"Well, I was born with everything."
Sadly, I was speechless because it was right.
Ian looked at my face and continued to talk.
"And even if there's something I don't have… I think I should try my best and give up neatly if it doesn't work out."
It was a really exemplary answer.
This was the part where I couldn't help but feel disgusted with myself, who couldn't give up neatly and used sloppy and mean ways to get what I wanted.
"Especially if it involves people."
"Huh? Well… Yes."
I answered vaguely.
"Well, then why the hell is world peace…"
"I can't help not having someone by my side, but I would really hate it if that person isn't safe."
"Ah well, okay."
Anyway, I had decided to grant Ian's wish.
It wasn't fun and I wasn't impressed, but I decided to inflame my enthusiasm for that exemplary answer.
Of course, if it was for world peace anyway, I had to kill Carlon first.
I was very happy that my purpose and Ian's were the same.
"Then I'll let you report everything to Prince Robert first… I'll go to my family right away and tell them what's going on."
"Great. We will also send people to help you move right away to the Wades."
"Oh, and don't worry, can I use the Wade's training ground now?"
"Training ground?"
"Yes. Now I need to do some serious training. If necessary, you can enlist me in the Knights of Wade."
When I even mentioned being enrolled in the Knights Templar, he widened his eyes as if surprised and looked at me.
Because the current commander of the knights was Ian, for me to be enlisted meant that I was loyal to Ian.
"That…"
"It is not until then that world peace will come. I can do that for you."
In a word, I made him shut his mouth.
Ian sighed deeply with his hardened face, and he said bluntly.
"I can't sleep if you talk like that."
"Do not be ridiculous."
In fact, it was me who didn't sleep last night, so I responded immediately.
"Isn't it your specialty to talk so you can sleep well?"
After I spat that out, I felt somewhat embarrassed, so I turned around and headed home without saying goodbye properly.
"Then see you later."
Ian, who glanced around, stood there like a statue.
"…What did you say? What was that?"
~*~
Our move was made in an instant.
Aaron and my parents quickly accepted everything.
Because of the incident at the general store.
I had been honest about everything, except for the very messy oracle.
"Therefore… Do you think the prince behind the black magic is the Crown Prince? So we could be at risk?"
"Yes…"
I mumbled.
"Anyway, I was a target, but…"
To be honest, I was really sorry.
It should be noted that the daughter they suddenly found is a naughty woman, but I had even fallen into great danger and had damaged my family's business.
"So, doesn't that mean my sister is going to work for world peace?"
Aaron smiled and said.
"I am so proud of you, sister. I also grew up with the Duke of Wade, so it's pretty fair."
He even begged me earnestly.
"I hope you will join me in that as well. Cessianne will be very proud of it."
The lieutenant of the Knights of Wade had the right values.
"My daughter… and Prince Robert, are you guys fighting an evil force with Ian?"
My mother grabbed my hand with her worried eyes.
"I only care about my daughter and I don't care about my business or anything like that, sweetheart. You just need to be safe. It must have something to do with what Saintess Cessianne said at that time, right?"
"Yes…"
"I wonder why she gave my daughter such a mission, but it is God who made her find you…"
It was a word of great insight.
"…Annabelle…"
My father was already in tears.
It was a completely different expression from my uncle, who had the same face, so it seemed possible to tell them apart even if they stood together.
"I'm sorry we couldn't be your strength."
Looking back, my father always had a consistent reaction.
He keeps saying that because he lacks himself.
"I'm not a great aristocrat, so I make you worry like this…"
"Father, I thought I was so sorry that I was being such a daughter… After listening to you, I don't think that's the case."
I said as I wiped away my father's tears.
"Let's never be sorry for each other."
In this respect, I seemed to resemble my father.
To be honest, I had never really been of any help to my parents.
I didn't do anything well, and one day I was their daughter.
Nevertheless, my parents were really devoted to me just because I was their daughter.
So I also wanted to do my best to live.
I could see what Ian meant.
I would really hate for them to get hurt no matter what.
"I… Annabel Nadit, actually, has lived with a really bad heart."
I spoke with tearful eyes without realizing it.
"But now I really want to live well. I will live a good and nice life for my beloved family. I will be strong not for the person I hate, but for the person I love."
My mother hugged me tightly once again.
The move then took place in an instant.
Soon after, the Duke of Wade sent a huge number of servants directly to help us move.
It was really to the level where I just had to go.
"Why…"
When I was embarrassed, a maid gave me a tip.
"The Duke and the Madam cheered completely. Both of them praised Ian very much, saying, 'It's so touching that Ian had such an unexpected sense'. Madam was so happy that she could sometimes get a late-night snack from Oscar. Although, I don't know why the Duke cheered."
Aaron, who was listening to our conversation, casually intervened.
"Maybe he cheered because the duchess cheered."
And we all nodded because we were all immediately convinced by that.
"Then do we just have to move ourselves?"
"Yes. You can just come."
By sending us to the duke's residence in the carriage, we moved to another place as if we were really on an outing.
"Ah. Anyways, according to my sister, Ian is not there. I heard he went to the Imperial Palace to report to the prince."
Aaron spoke leisurely.
"I think I can live a bit leisurely until today. When Ian returns to the Knights, it'll get really hard."
Knowing the "hardness" because I took a dance class directly from him, I nodded quietly.
And it was time to quickly get on the carriage on which Aaron was on.
"Miss Annabelle, wait!"
Robert was riding a horse from far away at a terrifying speed.
