"Eh?! E-Edward-sama?!"

"Oh, Good morning, Nanako-san"

"Ah! Y-Yes! G-Good mornimg, Edward-sama... Hmm, W-What're you doing here?"

"The cook broke his leg last night, and as one of the few people in the manor who knows how to handle knives, the stove, and so on... I am covering for him"

"I-I see"

Still surprised and confused, Nanako walked away so that she wouldn't cause the children behind her to wait any longer to have their first meal of the day. Even after she sat down, Nanako kept looking at Edward, as he diligently handed the children their meals, even when he looked tired, and his dark circles didn't help in making him look any brighter.

After handing breakfast to the children, Nanako saw Edward, and the head maid have a short talk, with the maid even showing a very motherly smile to Edward, before he left the room while making an annoyed face as he pressed his temples with one hand, with Nanako following him with her eyes as she ate her breakfast.

It was now getting close to noon, Nanako alongside the other orphan girls, was being given basic lessons about a variety of topics by Camilla, in this case, they were being taught how to write and read, the boys were also receiving lessons but from the head butler, Elliot, instead.

Then as Nanako was practicing her calligraphy, she who sat right beside a window, notice something happening outside and saw that it was Edward, as he appeared to be helping in taking care of the horses used by the soldiers alongside the captain. As she gazed at him, with some confusion in her mind, Nanako accidentally stopped moving her hands and even caused her to miss the presence of Camilla approaching her

"... Good job there, Nanako"

"?! C-Camilla-san"

"You're pretty talented from being capable of properly copying the sentence in such a short time"

"Ah... T-thanks"

"But you should do a little more on your handwriting, it still has room for improvement"

"Y-Yes!"

Nanako then went back to practicing her calligraphy as she got nervous from Camilla having caught her by surprise, as for Camilla, she looked outside of the window and saw the scene that Nanako was observing moments ago, then she sifted her sight back to Nanako who was now diligently doing her assignment. Camilla then went away from Nanako as she smiled a little.

It was around 4 in the afternoon, and Nanako alongside the other girls, was helping Camilla in cleaning and maintaining the mansion. Although the most they were allowed to do was moping and sweeping the sturdier places, like the floor, windows, and furniture, they still helped in hastening the process, so much so that they were almost finishing the cleaning the entire mansion, something that in the past, wouldn't have been possible.

"Nanako, have you finished there?"

"In a bit!"

"Got it, after you are finished just bring the cloth and bucket to me, and you are free to do anything of your interest"

"Yes!"

The room Nanako was almost finished cleaning was the library, and just as she had said, a few minutes afterward Nanako finished cleaning the remaining spot.
