“She’s my son’s master, so shouldn’t I at least do that?” 

It seems that Visten would have an upset stomach even before eating.
But Visten had no right to refuse. 

“Open Thersion again and let in those who come and go as before.
Kill those human knights if they become a bother before you send them out.” 

Shivers run down his spine.
He didn’t say anything about the human knights, but he noticed.
The knights were like toys to ease boredom.
It was his mistake for underestimating the Grand Duke’s five senses. 

Visten answered him, ““Yes, Your Excellency.” 

“If all those arrogant things from the imperial family keep on coming to this place… we’ll have to think of another way.” 

The Grand Duke looked lost in thought for a moment before he smiled cynically. 

“How is Ysildus? Has he stopped complaining about his food and being grumpy?” 

“Yes, Your Excellency.
He often follows Alexa.” 

“Of course, she’s his master.” 

It sounded sarcastic, but his low voice made it hard to guess. 

“Leave Ysildus to Alexa as usual.
We don’t know what he will do if we suddenly take her away in front of him.” 

Insignificant and small, Ysildus was after all Carlisle’s son.
Besides, didn’t the people say that Ysildus took after Carlisle’s temper? 

Carlisle buried himself in his office chair.
Sleepiness starts to creep in his system. 

(T/N: Oh, so they do not sleep during the one week? The stamina hahahahaha)

Finally, a week has passed.
The gates of Thersion were once again opened under the Grand Duke’s orders.
That means that Karrolf can also go back inside.
Alexa could also go out. 

Alexa usually doesn’t pay attention to the outside world.
It was because she grew accustomed to her stable life and forgot what situation she was in.
Now, I should think of how to live outside now while slowly getting out of here.
Alexa thought so. 

And as usual today, even when Alexa was thinking of something else, the maids were making a fuss and dressing up Alexa. 

“We should tie her hair up.
Like this.” 

“Is that so? Or why not tie it up at this level and do it like this?” 

“That looks good too.” 

“I like the former better.” 

Alexa’s dress today was pink as the maids said it looks good on her.
It was just when the maids were fussing over how to style Alexa’s hair, the door to Alexa’s room opened wide.
The maids bowed in surprise and Alexa jumped up. 

“No, you don’t have to stand up.” 

The Grand Duchess shook her head and came in holding something in her hand.
The Grand Duchess waved her hand to the maids and greeted Ysildus hovering on her feet. 

“Did you sleep well, my son?”

“Arf!”

Still, Ysildus greeted her in a kind way, probably recognizing her as his mother. 

“It’s been a week, Alexa.” The Grand Duchess spoke softly as she opened the box in her hand.
It was filled with accessories for ladies suited for Alexa’s age.  

Alexa’s eyes were wide open.
The Grand Duchess looked at Alexa’s usual accessories and frowned.
She lifted the box toward Alexa. 

“It’s yours.
Try using this.
What on earth are these crude things…? Did Visten only buy these?” 

Crude? Alexa’s eyes got bigger.
What the Grand Duchess lifted was a necklace made with the finest rubies, but she said it was crude.
The Grand Duchess rummaged through her accessories and picked them all, as if she didn’t like it at all. 

“Dispose everything.
Visten has always been stingy in spending money.” 

Not at all! Alexa’s eyes were wide open and stared at all the accessories as the maids went out to dispose of them all at once at the Grand Duchess’ words.
Those were also bought at very high prices.
Of course, the one brought by the Grand Duchess was more valuable, but…. 

“Goodness.
Alexa, are you eating properly? Why can I only see your eyes popping out of your face?” 

It’s not… I was just very surprised…. 

Before Alexa could even answer, the Grand Duchess instructed the maids to do this and that.
Soon afterwards, a line of snacks with high sugar content came in for Alexa to eat. 

I think I will die of diabetes if I eat all of that….
