The next week at the estate of the Duchy of Cassius flew by so quickly that I didn't even have time to come to my senses when it was time for us to leave.
A new semester of study at the academy was about to begin, and therefore we could not stay here any longer. Tomorrow we will take the carriage of the Cassius family to Atlas, where we will continue our studies until the summer holidays.
And what will happen next… I didn't know yet.
Anyway, to somehow celebrate our stay in this place, Duke Cassius decided to organize a farewell dinner. At six in the evening, the three of us were sitting at the table, and I looked with hungry eyes at the meal, perhaps the most luxurious in all the time that I lived here.
I expected that we would have dinner in complete silence as usual, but this time, the Duke unexpectedly volunteered to make a farewell speech.
— It was nice to meet you, Lady Leriana,» he said, «I hope you will continue to look after Rachel.»
