The plain and unnoticed me is no more

"It's been a long time, Lord Wilfred. What a pleasure it is to come all the way to see such an old man on a holiday. What are you talking about today? It was only then that His Highness came to see me."

Today I visited the Duke of Norris's mansion again in order to meet her grandfather in person and find out where Lana is. Last time I came here, I talked to Lana's brother, but he told me to leave my sister alone, and he pushed me back because I couldn't tell anyone where she was.

The old man who ears this house is the one who put her in the convent.

And in fact, from my research, she's not in the convent.

Last time Liam went to the convent, I heard a report that a woman named Elaine had just entered, and I went to see it, but it was completely different, and it became clear that she was not in any of the convents.

There is no need to enter the monastery in the first place, so naturally so. Her grandfather's anxiety that he could do it prevented him from discarding the possibility.

I took it seriously and searched for it, but apparently I only did that to isolate it from the world.

The old man is thought to have let his granddaughter escape the house to stay away from the social scene, predicting that her granddaughter would be the subject of rumours from the mean aristocracy.

But this is just my guess.

As you can hear, there is certainly a harsh side to grandchildren, but it seems impossible without a lot of patience and affection to raise that naive stepdaughter to a modest and grown-up prostitute like everyone now knows.

So I thought maybe I was living in a village somewhere with information blocked.

Later, in the social world, rumors spread about her that she was funny and had a deep relationship with Evan, and so on. The Duke of Norris did not move at all and, thanks to her perseverance and overwhelming rumours, her rumours also faded considerably, but I found it interesting to ask the person who was talking and follow the source.

"Yeah, but you know what I came here for?

"Yes? I wonder... oh, that's it. Somebody hurry up and get that in her room."

The maid who was waiting at the door heard the word of the LORD, and went out of the reception room in thanksgiving.

Does that mean Lana's room? What do you want me to bring?

"Originally, this was where we had to deliver it to the palace, but now, thanks to someone else, we have a narrow shoulder."

That's what I'm saying, but people in this house are afraid that they won't object or protest against the rumors. Sure, if you make a scene, it would be depressing for someone to say stupid things because it's true.

Thanks to the house's response, I hear that the school, where rumors come from, has seen more people murmuring out of fear of counterattacks. Soon no one will talk about Lana.

"Oh, did you bring it? Give it to His Majesty's servant."

The returned maid handed the white jacket to the waiter. It was something I put on to hide Lana's dress on that party day.

"Isn't that something I lent Lana... to Elaine?

"I'm sorry I'm late to return it. I wanted to return it immediately, but there was a stain on the back of the bottle of wine, so it took me a long time to drop it. Thank you for caring about her."

I looked at the jacket and remembered what a sad Lana looked like that day.

The idea of finding her and rescuing her from the irrational treatment she received from this old man got even stronger.

"I'm not here to get it back. Where's Elaine, who rented that jacket? I checked all the monasteries in the country, but she was nowhere to be found. I thought I'd gone to Alford, but there's no sign of him going out of the country."

"... what can I do for her now? Your Highness was supposed to kick my offer and tell me to cut off the edge completely?

He stares sharply at me, but I can't stay here without losing.

"No, that must have been your offer. If we're going to blank the engagement, we need to seal our memories and end our relationship....."

"Hmm... have you tampered with your memories so that it's convenient for you...? His Highness came that day to tell me that he wanted to erase Lana's memory by leaving her engagement blank. I should have advised you not to do such extreme things, but to refuse to socialize and keep the facts of your engagement hidden until you grow up."

"I think I did have some suggestions....."

What kind of conversation were we having here 10 years ago? I came here because of the shock of an attempted poisoning, and I couldn't survive, but I got sick and I couldn't.

I'm sure that day...

"Lord Wilfred, I feel relieved that you have recovered. But did you come all the way out here to talk to me about anything?

"Lord Norris. I don't want to put Lana in danger. That's why I want to put my engagement back on paper and erase my memory from her. I'm here today to get permission."

"Extremely extreme... Are you telling me that my Duke Norris can't protect her?

"That's right. Even me living in the royal palace was poisoned. I have no guarantee that I will be able to protect you."

"Please wait. If you don't want them to know you're connected, you can keep your engagement a secret until you grow up and refuse to interact."

My father told me the same thing.

But I'm sure Lana's feelings will get away from me before I see her. I don't want to see that. If that's the case, I'd like to erase my memory and start over from the encounter.

Fun memories are enough for me to remember, and you can do the same thing again when you start over from the encounter. That way you won't have to grieve Lana.

"Lana will be sad if she finds out she can't see me until she grows up. I don't want to make you sad at all. I can't protect her now. Then you'd better do something that wasn't all there."

"Why are you so obsessed with erasing your memories... Your Highness is afraid that she will be distracted?

"Hmm... that's not true! I believe in Lana."

I was horrified by the thrust of the star.

"... Your Highness, we will protect her, and the Duke of Norris will stand behind you in the dawn of the engagement. If we arrive at His Highness, which does not belong to any faction, we will gradually increase our allies. Don't be rushed."

"I didn't even know myself, but I got engaged too soon. Until we have a lot of allies....."

Sir Norris had the nerve to try to persuade me, but no matter what he said, he finally broke up with me without bending his will.

"I see. Let's put the engagement back on paper. Instead, I would like you to disconnect from her in the future. Erase your memory and you won't regret it.

"Yeah, sure."

And with the consent of my guardian, I moved on to execution a few days later.

"I didn't contact you, but the magical memory seal has somehow failed."

"What?! That can't be true! Until recently, I had my hair dyed black at the witch's behest, but she didn't see me, and she didn't react."

Lana's grandfather exhaled a big sigh and started explaining the time to me.

"After that, my memory came back in a few days. I explained to her that there were circumstances and her engagement was cancelled and she could no longer meet him, but she cried out, went out so hard that no adult could reach her, refused to sleep or eat, and on the morning of the third day, she hinted at herself in the mirror and sealed her memory."

……

"Since then, she's grown up and she's changed completely. I don't resent you. At the time, it was only dangerous for him to remain engaged. It would have been the same to remain a friend. His Highness the King's brother looked at him as a trump card to get rid of you, even though he didn't know the two of them. I don't know what kind of treatment they treated me when I found out they had feelings for each other."

Oh, my God. I thought it was only hard for me, but she knew. Her smile on the day she rushed to me to say that her engagement had been happily decided repeatedly.

When I was a kid, I jumped up and got engaged.

"... so, if it's not magic, it's possible that your memory will return to some kind of clap?

"I don't know. She seems to have made a strong suggestion that her personality would change."

Please, tell me where she is.

"She is now returning to herself. We live happily every day, free from extraneous clues. No bodyguards. Please leave me alone."

……

"If you happen to find her, it could mean that you and her were related. It depends on your efforts. I'm not going to tell you anything."

They say they live happily in Japan. Then I'll have to stand down.

"Okay. Thank you for agreeing to a sudden visit. Even if she were in King's City, given the population, the chances of meeting by chance are endlessly low. After all, we had no luck. You're in my way."

After leaving the Duke of Norris, I decided not to return to the royal palace, but to face the other Lana's inn for the first time in a long time. If you eat a lot of delicious rice there, you'll feel this depressed feeling.

Now it's enough to know Lana is happy.
