When Ronnie briefly explained the situation to a knight who had arrived at the scene, they were told to go to the castle like he had expected.

Before moving to the castle, Cordelia told one of the knights that Earl Zakharov might be looking for them, and asked the knight to look for Earl Zakharov.

When they were about to head to the castle, Shelley woke up, but she was really excited to hear that she could enter the castle before she even grasped her own situation.

Therefore, she was more excitable than she was at the circus while they were travelling and while they were waiting to be interviewed.

Wow, Im in a real castle! Ive always wanted to come here! I wonder if I can meet the Prince by chance. I wonder if Ill be able to see him if I go out into the corridor.

Cordelia wanted to sigh deeply at Shelleys excitement, but she held it in. Im glad youre not traumatised by the kidnapping, but I want you to think about why this happened. If this happens again, what will you do?

Ronnie was being interviewed first, so only Cordelia and Shelley were here.

Shelley-san, please stop following people you dont know from now on.

Argh, I know!

No, thats the typical response of someone who doesnt understand. In fact, youre not reflecting at all since you even secretly added, Im finally having fun.

(I wonder if this child wont listen to anyone unless its the Prince who she admires.)

But, if Shelley meets Sylvester-sama, then shell be more excited than she is now and wont be able to talk.

And, one more thing. Shelley is really pushy, and it feels like shes the in-game 『Cordelia』instead of the『Heroine』.

She wont listen to anyone, she has absolute confidence in herself, and her attachment to the Prince―――.

Once she started thinking about it, everything seemed to overlap, and Cordelia shook her head a little. There are many problems with Shelleys behaviour and speech, but if she is a nobles daughter, then its possible shell be educated, and her behaviour and speech will improve. Although, it may be hard to change her fundamental thoughts.

Oh? Shelley-san, did you drop this?

Cordelia had found a small bag rolling at Shelleys feet, so she stood up and picked it up. The sachet was about the size of the aroma bags that Cordelia had previously made for the children in Oulu Village, and the string which was used to hang it around Shelleys neck had unfastened. The fabric was also worn out because it had been used for a long time.

Shelley looked surprised, then she snatched the bag away from Cordelia.

Oh, thanks! I cant lose this!

Huh? Um, Im glad I saw it then.

Cordelia widened her eyes because it was the first time Shelley had thanked her.

Can I ask what it is?

You can. This is a memento that my mum gave me. She said that Ill be happy if I have this, she said while retying the unfastened part of the string, then she wore it on her neck and hid it under her clothes. It seems to be a charm that she always carries.

(Perhaps)

Cordelia gulped and stared at the bag.

What is inside of the charm?

I really dont want to show it to you, but its a small ring. You picked it up for me, so Ill show it to you.

Shelley was in a good mood, and what she took out of the bag wasnt a small ring it was an ear cuff. The surface was a little cloudy, but there was a small bird pattern engraved on it.
