After Harold’s Return: A New Normal Between Ethan and Me
Since Harold’s return, things between Ethan and me settled into a more typical relationship—not as master and maid, but as though I were truly another noble lady who had married into the Blackwood family.
After days of addressing him by his name alone, I had grown accustomed to calling him simply "Ethan." The title "Father" for Harold was also beginning to feel less strange.
...It was time to start tackling the things I had put off.
"Lilith, what are you up to?"
"I'm writing some letters."
"...Letters?"
Ethan looked at me with a worried expression as soon as he heard the word “letters.” I could tell what he was thinking, so I hurried to clarify to avoid any misunderstandings.
"It’s not for anything strange, Ethan! I just feel it’s necessary to let Miss Agnes and Miss Lizzie know I’m alright, given I took a leave from the academy last semester without notice...."
"Ah, that’s what it’s for."
"I can’t return to the academy immediately, and since ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ they’ll be graduating next year, I thought it would be polite to update them on my situation."
"I see. If that’s the case, then go ahead."
