"Now… I think I will go ho and have a long talk with my father."
As I see her crush the ash like that, a funny thought cos to my head.
"You know, you could have just taken the paper and shown it to your father, it would have made it easier for you."
"Huh?" Samantha said as she looked at and thought for a mont.
"…I didn't think of it like that." She said and looked down at the ashes on the floor as if she lost sothing precious, "That would have made it easier."
"Now with that gone, Will the earl actually trust you?" I said and brought myself down to the knees to touch the ashes, "I don't doubt that he wouldn't trust you but this is a very sensitive matter, what if he doesn't?"
Then I looked up and had to try hard not to laugh out as I saw her face change to various degrees of sorrow, fear and finally anger.
"Damn It!" She said while sitting down on a sofa.
This was a characteristic of her. She was the kind of heroine that would always jump the gun before actually thinking about the consequences. A heroine that would jump into the fire to help soone than to stop and think about how to put the fire out effectively.
I got up and put a hand on her shoulder as she looked at , "Why don't I sign a letter, telling the earl about the matter. Then I think that his chances of believing you would be significant."
"You will?" She looked at with almost starry eyes.
'Man… she really is gullible. I would feel bad if don't take advantage of her.'
...
I handed the signed docunt to her and asked, "So you're going right now?"
"Yes, I am." She nodded as she put the letter safely inside her armor, "The matters extrely important and the faster I could finish this, the better."
"Alright" I said and imdiately rembered the plot.
'If she left now, then she wouldn't be at the party… and if she isn't there than she wouldn't et the protagonist.'
'I have already changed my destiny by nulling our engagent so even if she did et the protagonist, it wouldn't be of any harm to I think.'
'But if she doesn't et him then the story would change drastically and my knowledge of the future could beco useless.'
'I can't let it co to that!'
I say to her as she opens the door.
"I think you should stay for a few days."
"Hmm? Why may I ask?" She asked as she turned to with a confused look.
"Well… you had just co from an another province, isn't that right?" She nodded, "then after getting my letter, you had hurried over here with your n, correct?"
She nodded again as I continued, "So I think it would be best if your n could get so rest since they ca here from such a long journey."
"What about the marriage docunt?"
"That? It's already gone and destroyed. The one your father has doesn't an shi- anything if we ourselves don't do anything about it." I said as I put one leg over the other, "Besides I already gave you my signed letter, you don't need to worry so much."
"And if you want to leave then why not after the birthday party of Viscount Sigmut."
After hearing my words and mulling over it, she found no problem so she nodded.
"The Viscount's party is three weeks from now so it should be more than enough rest for the n… alright, I will stay."
"But where will my n stay?"
"They can stay here." I said while spreading my hands, "In the town, but do tell them not to behave badly with the people."
"Of course, I will. Thank you for accommodating us, my lord."
"No problem," I said and acted as if a brilliant idea ca to my head, "You can also stay inside my house."
"Would that be appropriate?"
"Don't worry, anyway we are still officially a couple so it would instead be inappropriate if you stayed at a camp full of n when you could have stayed with your fiancé, right?"
Samantha had no words to counter mine. She saw reason in them and didn't see any fault in .
'Hmm… he has been awfully helpful from the start so I don't think it would a problem.'
She smiled largely, "Thank you again for helping like this, my lor-"
"Please call Henry, we are close in age."
"Okay, then I hope you will call by my na too." I nodded as she left joyfully out of the house.
I sighed as I finally saw the trouble get out of the house and turned to the two. Anna was smiling as she saw the matter being finished happily but Redwick was looking at with a suspicious look.
"Is sothing wrong, Redwick?"
"N- no, master… it's just that, Ms. Religias ca here initially with the intention to fight you and now… only after a few monts, you had not only resolved your conflict with her, but you two also beca friends and that she'll be staying at the house."
"Yeah, now that you say it like that, I really do have a way with words, don't I Anna?"
"Yes, master, you are the best."
...
Samantha walked out of the house happily and went towards the camp.
Today was a good day, she had first thought that she would have to do sothing unnecessary but at the end, everything went great... No, it was perfect.
Going inside the main camp, she found her uncle who imdiately stood up and asked, "How did it go?"
"It went great. I got the docunt and we ended things in a friendly manner. Tell the n, they don't have to fight."
Nance nodded, this was the best thing that could have happened.
"Then we are leaving now?"
"No. The n need so rest, so i've decided wel will stay here for a few days." She said while packing the docunt in a safe place. "Also tell them not to do anything with the townspeople or there WILL be heavy punishnt."
"Yes, Niece." Then he saw her leaving the tent again, "Where are you going?"
"Oh!... I forgot to ntion. Henry invited so I will stay in the house." She said and went as Nance stood there with a dumbfounded look.
'Henry?'
'Staying at his house?'
'…Just what happened that changed their relationship so much?'
