In the morning Cedric leaves.
He seized the saddle with his two fine arms.
âAre you able to remove the splint thus quickly?â
âIâm all better.â
Camilla couldnât believe Cedricâs broken arm had recovered in such a short time.
âYouâre reallyâ¦â¦â
Camilla would only think Cedric had taken off the splint out of curiosity. She would never have thought that Cedric had been treated with divine power.
âDid you say three days?â
âRight. Itâs a light inspection, so it wonât be long.â
Camilla retaliated by capturing tears that refused to flow.
âHer acting abilities are a touch rusty.â
I saw Cedric off next to Camilla.
âU-U-Uncle, b-b-be careful. S-S-See you later.â
As I stuttered again, Cedric gave me an odd look. He couldnât ask why since there were so many knights around him, so he just left.
Camilla pulled me back as the gate was closed and turned to a face that was not sad.
âSelina, hurry up and go inside. Your skin is being sunburned on your face.â
â¦â¦The Male Lead didnât even care about Selinaâs face this much.
It was amusing but yet distressing.
How expensive is Camilla going to sell me?

âM-m-motherâ¦. I⦠Is it o-okay if I go to the t-t-temple?â
âWhy do you want to go there?â
âI-I-I Iâm worried about my uncle, soâ¦â¦â
I eagerly squeezed tears out of my eyes.
The tears still not flowing out but fills my eyes in an instant.
Camilla, stiffened, stared at me.
âWas I being too deliberate?â
I was worried if Camilla caught my act, but Camilla soon smiled.
âYou must be worried about the injury in Cedricâs arm.â
As I nodded softly, Camilla said in admiration.
âThen you should go. Iâll ask them to prepare a carriage for you.â
Camilla stared at me with great satisfaction, as if there was a star in her eyes.
âHow can you be so pretty? Even your crying face is still so pretty. My daughter.â
