บท 151: Her Forgive and Forget

Emilia approached the window, cautiously peering out with half of her head, only to discover that it was a squirrel in the backyard that had broken a branch.

"Coo~"

The squirrel called out to Emilia once before scampering away.

— (So it was a squirrel... That gave me quite a start.)

Perhaps it was the residual unease from her encounter yesterday with Keven, the son of the mayor, that made Emilia somewhat jumpy.

She returned to the main hall, took a sip of water, and felt a great deal of her anxiety dissipate. Concerning her situation with Banning, Emilia had come to a conclusion in her heart.

Emilia currently harbored an immeasurable hope that she was the one in the wrong.

She would seek out Banning first thing tomorrow morning to clear the air, and then, no matter how angry Banning might be, how much he might chastise her, she would sincerely apologize and admit her mistake.

Emilia had even come to believe that she surely must be the one in error.
