After a while, two handmaidens came into the room. It appeared that they were the handmaidens assigned to me. 

“Rachel-sama. My name is Margerita and I am honored to have been tasked with waiting on you from this day forward,” said the first one.

“My name is Margarita, and I am also honored to have been tasked with waiting on you from this day forward,” said the second one.

There was no life in the eyes of the two handmaidens. Their somewhat gloomy eyes were what struck me as a first impression. On top of that, they had such similar names, I would probably mix them up.

Margerita had red hair done up in a braided ponytail, and Margarita had red hair done up in braided pigtails. Their looks and height were so similar that I wondered if they were sisters. It was even a possibility that they were twins. If their hairstyles weren’t different, I probably couldn’t tell them apart.

“Thank you for your introductions,” I said, “May I ask, is Edward-sama safe?” I couldn’t go on without at least asking. I had to know how Edward was doing, as he had been separated from me and thrown in the dungeon cells.

“…We have been ordered by his Majesty the King to take special care in making you, Rachel-sama, feel at home while you stay here in the castle,” said Margerita.

“We have been ordered by his Majesty the King to also take care of your mental well being, Rachel-sama,” said Margarita.

After speaking, they both bowed politely.

His Majesty the King… When these two talked about him, it made it sound like he was taking my thoughts into consideration to an unusual degree. I wondered why he would. Was there something that… he was hiding? I turned away for a moment to think.

“…The 3 people you brought with you are safe, Rachel-sama,” Margerita casually whispered into my ear.

“What?” I asked and turned back around, but Margerita and Margarita immediately began explaining the details of the room and the castle itself.

  “Edward-sama… Yuki-sama, Makoto-sama. I’ve heard that you’re all safe, but I’m worried. I wonder if you can’t teleport using Shiro-sama and Kuro-sama’s transportation powers,” I muttered aloud, unintentionally, as I lay face down in a daze on the sofa prepared for me.

Then, I suddenly gasped in realization.

Yes, transportation powers! I should transport myself to Edward.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

The Goddess told me Lyra’s soul was inside me. Which meant the obvious. If Lyra could be awakened within me, I should be able to use transportation magic. The only problem was that transportation only worked for going somewhere already visited at least once before. I couldn’t just immediately transport to the dungeon cells.

I didn’t even know where the dungeon cells were. But, if I just asked Margerita, I felt like she would probably tell me. Though that wasn’t to say she’d directly lead me there.

“Rachel-sama. Aren’t you bored from being inside your room all day? Shall I give you a tour of the castle? I have received permission from his Majesty the King,” said Margerita, while I was in a daze on the sofa, lost in my own thoughts.

As usual, I neither heard nor saw any life in her voice or expression.

“Yes, you’re right,” I said, “Could I ask you to do that for me?”

“Yes, of course. As you wish. I shall give you a tour. Will you be alright in those clothes?”

“Of course, I don’t mind,” I answered, and got up from the sofa quickly.

I decided I would ask Margarita casually to allow me to inspect the dungeon cells and where they are.

“By the way, I don’t see Margerita around…?” I said.

Margerita was nowhere to be found, although the two were always together. I wondered what happened.

“…Margerita is away on business at the moment. I offer our deepest apologies for her departure without gaining permission from you first, Rachel-sama,” Margarita said and bowed very deeply as she apologized.

“Oh, that’s all right. Don’t apologize, please. I was just wondering,” I said, waving my hands hurriedly to stop her from being so formal.

“…As you wish, my lady. Well then, shall we go?” 

“Yes. Please.”

With that, Margarita walked in front of me and began to lead the way quietly. Starting with the closest rooms, Margarita informed me about each room diligently, one by one. 

Impressively, Margarita’s footsteps made absolutely no sound. When she moved, it was as if she was gliding down the hallway. Even the crown prince’s handmaidens couldn’t walk this silently. Thinking this was strange, I looked at Margarita’s feet.

“…Is something the matter?” she asked.

She must have noticed where I was looking, as Margarita had turned around.

“No, nevermind,” I said, panicking a bit to gloss over my curious stare. There was no way I could tell her that I was fixating on her feet because I thought they moved strangely.

Margarita said, “Alright,” and started down the stairs.

It may be a bit late to say this, but the room I was given was on the second floor. I wondered if she was going to show me all of the rooms on the first floor now. However, she didn’t stop at the first room we passed and continued on to a further part of the castle.

As we went further and further, there were fewer and fewer people around in the hallways.

Thinking this was strange, I called to her, “…Margarita-san?” and as I did, her feet suddenly came to a stop.

She turned around slowly to face me.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
