Chapter 14 - Chapter 13: Outing With the Countess

Sitting in the carriage, the Countess was humming to herself as she looked out the window. Shuffling in my seat due to nervousness, she eventually sighed and dragged me onto her lap, rhythmically petting my head. Looking up at her, she had a gentle smile on her face, her gaze filled with warmth. Snuggling into her, she continued to hum. I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of her rubbing my head and listening to her happy hum. Eventually, she shook my shoulders, pointing outside.
