'But the Duke...!' The three knights thought looking at the scene before them as one of them rubbed their eyes.
Duke Phileo is seen holding Annelise in his arms with Leonia in her arms also white shiny flowers bloomed behind the three.
Then the flowers changed into a black lion is seen behind the three as Duke phileo mumbled something to the two females.
This scene is definitely beautiful, but also terrifying to the knights.
"Prepare to leave the moment the lady recovers." Melesis said to the two male knights as the three knights eyes were widen and stared at the shiny scene infront of them.
"Y-Yes sir...." One knight said accidentally.

Soon the carriage went threw a tunnel then a snowy mountain and soon onto a road.
Annelise was holding Leonia and Leonia soon woke up as Annelise looked out the window with sparkles in her eyes.
Leonia looked at her mother then out the window.
"This is cool! It's my first time looking at something like this!" Leonia said happily as she had a big smile on her face.
Annelise chuckled.
"It's still pretty small compared to the capital." Duke Phileo said as he stared at Leonia.
Annelise sigh.
"Leonia wouldn't know, since she has never been to the capital so have i though i have been to a few very small towns just not the capital or somewhere like this place." Annelise said as she caressed her daughter's hair.
Leonia nodded agreeing with her mother.
"That's why i think this place is the best, right mom!" Leonia said.
Annelise nodded.
Both mother and daughter stared out the window.
"There's so much snow!" Leonia said.
"The Boleoti territory has snow until the spring season." Duke Phileo said.
"Is it really cold?" Leonia asked.
"It's fine once you get used to it." Duke Phileo answered.
"Ohh~~So mom you are used to the cold since you wear those dancing clothes and this dress too!" Leonia said to her mother.
Annelise smiled.
"Yes, I am use to the cold but not the coldness in the early mornings so in mid day, night times, evenings, afternoons, and when the sun is up is when i am use to the cold Leonia." Annelise answered.
"That means you like the cold mom so i like the cold too!" Leonia said.

"Now, Now! The duke is coming home! Get ready!" A lady in butler uniform shouted.
The butlers and maids were running over the place and cleaning the place but also so nothing is misplaced.
The carriage is then seen entering the land of the mansion as the butlers and maids ran to line up outside.
The door was then opened.
"Your Grace, You have arrived." The lady said as her eyes were closed.
Before she opened her eyes and looked down.
'Huh?' She thought.
The lady in butler uniform flinched and was shocked as she saw Leonia standing outside the carriage staring at the mansion.
"THE HOUSE IS SO BIG!!" Leonia shouted as her eyes had stars.
Soon Duke Phileo left the carriage holding Annelise hand as she got out of the carriage.
Duke Phileo held Annelise hand still and he walked towards Leonia and carried her with the other arm.
Leonia look up at Duke Phileo.
"Welcome home, Your Grace!" The maids and butlers said as the males bowed while the females curtsy and also they were lined up in two rows each facing each other.
Leonia grew uncomfortable in the way Duke Phileo carried her.
Annelise noticed as she let go of Duke Phileo hand and he notice so he look at Annelise who is tilting her head towards Leonia.
Duke Phileo looked at Leonia and noticed so he held her in both of his arms.
Leonia looked at Duke Phileo.
"....I'm not sick anymore." Leonia said.
"I know." Duke Phileo replied.
"...Mister." Leonia called out.
'Mister??!!" Every maid and butlers thought.
"What." Duke Phileo said.
'W-Who...?' The butlers and maids thought as they still bowed/curtsy.
"I'm hungry and also mom." Leonia said.
'I am not hungry leonia i mean i am a bit i could probably eat half of the meal.' Annelise thought as she sweat dropped.
"Just wait a bit." Duke Phileo said.
Annelise then notice Duke Phileo strong chest she quietly touched his chest so did Leonia.
"Mister/Duke." Annelise and Leonia called.
"What now?" Duke Phileo asked.
The mother and daughter pair were caressing Duke Phileo chest.
"Your chest feels strong." Annelise and Leonia said as they had stars in their eyes.
Duke Phileo became dumbfounded.
Duke Phileo didn't mind Annelise touching his chest but his now daughter that is a different story.
Annelise who saw his face and chuckled as she stop caressing his chest.
"Do you want me to carry her." Annelise said.
Duke Phileo immediately gave Leonia to Annelise.
Both mother and daughter looked at each other as they blinked a couple of times.
Soon a smug look came over them and one word appeared in their mind.
"Chest~" They both thought.

"How'd you know?" Duke Phileo questioned.
This got the attention of Annelise and Leonia.
"REALLY?! SOMEONE DIED HERE!?" Annelise and Leonia yelled.

"There's a jail in the basement." Duke Phileo stated.
"WOW, TORTURE!" Annelise and Leonia said.

"You must be tired after your trip, Your Grace." The lady said.
"You've done well taking care of the mansion." Duke Phileo said.
"Cara, find some wardrobe designers and craftsmen. Call them in." Duke Phileo said as his turned to Cara as his arm was around Annelise waist.
Annelise and Leonia looked at Cara. Cara was shocked as her eyes were widen.
"....I'm sorry if this may offend you, but for what reason are you calling these people?' Cara questioned as she step forward.
"There's no good place in the house for them, is there?" Duke Phileo said.
"...The lady....and....the child..."Cara trailed off as she looked at the mother and daughter pair which got the attention of them both.
"Hello. My name is Annelise." Annelise said.
"And my name is Leonia." Leonia said.
"No." Duke Phileo said.
"The name i gave you both was a bit longer. Did you both already forget." Duke Phileo said.
Annelise grew shocked as her face grew embarrassment same with Leonia.
"...Am I even allowed to say it?" Annelise asked Duke Phileo as she looked up at him.
Leonia nodded.
"Do you both plan on introducing yourself with just your first name from now on?" Duke Phileo questioned as he held Annelise waist and made her go closer to him.
Annelise looked at Leonia then sigh. She took a deep breath in then out. Annelise look up and face Cara.
"My name is Annelise Boleoti." Annelise said with a smile.
Everyone grew shock when Annelise said "Boleoti". Though they stayed calm but even if they are calm inside their mind was going crazy.
'Is she married to the Duke?!?! Or is she the lover of the Duke?!?!' The maids and butlers as well as knights thought.
Leonia looked at her mother before she face Cara.
"And my name is Leonia Boleoti." Leonia said.
Annelise smile brighten as kissed Leonia cheek while Duke Phileo leaned in and caressed Leonia head. He also smiled.
Leonia touched her cheeks.
Cara stared at the 3 members of Boleoti and she was shock.
Annelise and Duke Phileo are seen smiling at Leonia as she touched her cheeks. Also flowers and sparkles are seen behind them.
Cara stared at the scene before her.
'It's a beautiful scene, but it's something one can't quite understand.' Cara thought.
Cara then was thinking before she came back from her thoughts.
"...I will prepare your meal again." Cara said as she walked away.
'It looks like it'll be quite busy here for a while...' Cara thought.
