"So it was dangerous, princess"
Elios to Kasumi. He stopped his steps, then turned around and was a little pensive.
"Which one?"
He asked with an innocent face, Elios let out a short sigh before speaking.
"When you stopped us at the inn earlier, your body was weak. If the man who is with the woman has malicious intentions, they will attack you"
"But I'm okay?"
"That's true, but next time you can't"
"I think that the words of Lord Elios are true princesses"
Alexis, who was behind Elios, agreed.
Not wanting the matter to be long, Kasumi nodded in agreement.
"I won't do it again"
"And one more"
"Yes?"
"Please stop calling me 'master' your status is higher than mine, also you can talk casually to me"
Kasumi fell silent, her eyes flashing a few times. He forgot about the rules of the palace.
"so what should I call you?"
"That's up to you"
He fell silent again, thinking of what a suitable call for Elios. Maybe baby? Hahaha, no, that's impossible.
"I'll call you uncle, uncle Elios"
Elios nodded in satisfaction, he was more comfortable being called that than being called master.
"Does sir Alexis want to be called different?"
Kasumi said, suggesting to Alexis who is behind Elios.
"As per your wishes princess"
"I'll call you just plain, is that okay?"
"I accept it"
The conversation ended, before Kasumi walked back in, someone's voice came from far away.
That's Miya's voice, she's way ahead of everything.
"You all right?"
Miya exclaimed, she approached Kasumi. Worry if there's anything on them.
Kasumi shook her head in response, she just had a chat earlier.
"Our house is there"
Miya pointed towards the mansion not far from there, there was a small garden in the courtyard of the mansion.
Judging from wherever Miya was a noble, perhaps he was also the ruler of this territory.
A gatekeeper recognized Miya, he bowed respectfully then opened the gate for them.
Upon entering, they are greeted by a beautiful flower garden. The area of the park is not as large as the garden of the princess palace in the kingdom of Cyrent, but this park is no less beautiful.
Some lights lit up the road, because it was already night so the air was getting a bit cold.
Miya led them, before long they entered the mansion.
The atmosphere inside the mansion was quiet, there were not many workers in sight and only had a few items that looked worn out.
'Is he poor?'
Kasumi assumed for herself, she felt astonished by the state of the house she saw.
'the Ezar family is rich, even our wealth will not run out until some derivative. But, if he's really my ancestor he should be rich right?'
Duke Ezar's family was one of the wealthiest nobles, they had some prosperous mining as well as many businesses.
But the conditions in the mansion are alarming, as some goods have been sold and workers fired because the owners cannot afford their salaries.
"Your room is here, sorry it's the best room I can give you"
Miya pointed to the three bedroom doors in front of her, the door of the room was already shabby. Looks like it needs a renovation.
"excuse me, are you noble lady?"
Kasumi ventured to ask, if she didn't ask maybe she could die of curiosity.
Miya who was about to open the door to show the contents of the room was silent, then she smiled bitterly at Kasumi.
"Yes, I'm a baroness. A few years ago I had a fiefdom as well, but it was revoked because my father, the former Baron, made a mistake. Now this territory has a new landlord"
He paused for a moment, then went back to telling stories.
"The king has very well left this mansion for me, I am grateful for that"
Kasumi fell silent, she did not know what to say. It turned out that the wealth that the Ezar family did not have from the beginning, there were times when they suffered like this.
Being a poor nobleman even without a fiefdom is like a commoner, Kasumi thinks that Miya must have received a lot of ridicule and bad insinuations from other nobles.
In contrast to Kasumi's sympathetic expressions, Elios and Alexis did not display any expressions as if they did not care.
"Ah, forgive me. Sad stories aren't fun, are they? You guys should go to bed soon, then I say retreat"
"Thank you for letting us stay here"
Miya smiled gently then walked away, leaving the three of them.
"Then I'll go into my room, good night princess"
Elios spoke briefly before he entered his room.
Kasumi turned to look at Alexis who was still silent, she had not yet entered her room.
"Why are you still quiet?"
"I'll keep watch here princess"
"No, you just sleep"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
Hearing Kasumi's short answer, Alexis nodded.
After Kasumi entered his room Alexis went into the room that belonged to him, they slept in their own room.
While in the room, Kasumi was still pensive in her daydream. He rethinks his family history when he became Kahill, the history of the Ezar family he loved.
"I remember"
Kasumi sits on the bed, she recalls the early history of the Ezar family.
"Oh!"
Kasumi covered her mouth with both hands, she stared at the wall separating her room from Elios's.
'I have to keep my mouth shut, Uncle Elios is a vampire. His hearing is very sharp.'
Kasumi had to be careful when talking about her past life, she didn't want anyone to know about it.
'The ancestor who made the Ezar family into the Duke's household was a woman, no one knew her name, but it was written there if the Ezar family had not been Duke in the first place.
There is also a service written that makes my ancestors can change their status, he participated in the war with the mosnter and achieved many achievements because of which the Ezar family can become Duke'
Kasumi continued to piece together pieces of information she knew, like a separate puzzle everything became a match when put together.
'And perhaps, the war with the monsters that were said to be the moment the demon realm attacked the humans. There must have been a hero figure at that time, so it was likely that the strength Miss Miya had must have been strong'
Now that everything is clear, Kasumi is convinced that Miya is her ancestor because she bears the surname Ezar.
'Tomorrow should I talk to Miss Miya, ah, should I call her ancestor? It wouldn't be strange if I who was in Kasumi's body called her grandma?'
Throughout the night Kasumi had trouble sleeping because she thought about what call she should give to Miya, until she finally fell asleep.
Without changing his clothes.
