章 233: Before Felicia's Room

Allen, Rachel, and Bedell met Lady Ayde. Inside her room, she was resting alongside her three-year-old son. Bedell immediately gives Ayde a letter he received from the Barony Barkaley.

"Fufufu... I see... that's good," she said.

Lady Ayde's initial expression showed apprehension when glancing at Allen. However, once she finished going through the letter, her countenance transformed into one of pure joy as she warmly greeted Allen with a radiant smile.

"Welcome back, Allen. I will be happy to receive you in this house."

"Th-thank you very much," Allen replied, trying to be formal.

"You've really changed; the old you would have been more sassy."

"I regret what I did in the past."

"That's okay! You can be more relaxed with me. After all, you are Felicia's knight. I hope you can continue to protect her in the future until the death depart you."

"Uhm... Lady Ayde, you should not speak like that… just… yet," Rachel said.
