Chapter 4
*they sit in front of the fireplace*
*I mean letitia sit on a chair and Erden kneel on one leg in front of letitia*
Erden
Cannibalism or offering sacrifices...
Erden
we don't have such traditions in my family. don't worry
Letitia
I'm glad to hear that
Letitia
*while holding a cup of tea*
Letitia
*look at the cup* **bunny~**
Erden
we're both still minors, so we'll just have an engagement
Letitia
how... how old are you?
Letitia
you're only three years older than me!
Erden
that's still a long time
Erden
you have to pass three rounds of four seasons: spring, summer, and winter
Letitia
you're good at math...
Letitia
th-then what about the room full of the belongings of ladies offered as sacrifices...?
Letitia
the locked room...
*they go to the locked room*
Erden
we didn't know when you'd come, so we hadn't prepared anything
Erden
we rushed to get this ready as soon as you got here...
Erden
these are the best items in our castle, but...
Erden
to a young lady used to fineries, it may not look like much
Letitia
then what about the three old witches...?
Erden
oh, you mean Bastian, Alexa, and Cassaro?
Erden
they're a little rough around the edges, but they're nice people. don't be afraid
Erden
most of the other rumors about me are true
Erden
you deserve much better...
Letitia
I'm not the daughter of Count Grey
Letitia
after my parents died, my uncle and aunt took me in
Letitia
they didn't want to send their own daughters here
Erden
they forced you to come here?
Erden
how you could allow it?
Letitia
because I had no choice...
Letitia
**otherwise I'll be burned at the stake**
Erden
... they're horrible
Letitia
now that you know I'm not my uncle's daughter,
Letitia
are you going to send me back?
Erden
when his daughter came, I was going to have an engagement ceremony with her
Erden
and send her back home as soon as the pledge was deemed fulfilled
Letitia
so you were always going to send me back?
Erden
but I've changed my mind
Erden
your uncle and aunt are not qualified to take care of you
Erden
tell me. do you want to go back?
Erden
you can stay as long as you want in this castle
Erden
you may ask for protection if necessary
Erden
no one can do you any harm
Erden
this document guarantees it
Erden
*show letitia the document*
Letitia
*read the document*
Erden
I'll escort you to your bedroom,
Erden
so you don't get lost again
Erden
you want me to turn the lights off for you?
Letitia
l-leave them on, please...
Letitia
it's okay If I call you Erden,
Letitia
did I just offend you?
Letitia
I'm sorry if I did...
Erden
it's been a long time since anyone but my parents have called me by my name
Letitia
good night, Erden *smile*
Letitia
**he doesn't seem like a bad person**
Letitia
*see the document*
Letitia
**I wonder what he looks like under the mask**
Erden
*looking at the water*
