Chapter 70
As was always the case on the day of a grand event, the household had been noisy since morning—no, since dawn.
Three days before the Foundation Festival, we were setting off for the capital, with not just one but three carriages.
Since this was a massive event that would attract nobles from all over, we were heading there in advance to ensure thorough preparations.
Although our duchy’s territory was geographically close to the capital, it still took over half a day of riding in a carriage to reach it.
How much would my poor backside suffer today? Damn this ridiculously large empire.
Grumbling about the vast stretch of land, I climbed into the carriage.
The people heading to the capital this time included me, my brother, my parents, Aiden, Lukas, Ian, and Jane.
Since I disliked unfamiliar people, Jane had been chosen as the sole servant accompanying us.
When she heard that she was going to the capital, Jane had practically sparkled with excitement.
That aside, I found Ian’s inclusion a little surprising, but then I quickly remembered—my family’s worries about me had not disappeared yet.
Of course. That was inevitable. My own doing.
They would probably continue worrying about me until the day I died.
