Being the only daughter of a count, you were often cooped up inside when there wasn’t any social events or things of the sort. Despite this, you were still curious of so many things, wishing that you didn’t have to be confined to the grounds all the time. You decided on a whim that you would sneak out, even if just once, in order to see all the things you had been wishing to learn more about. The only issue was that you had never really navigated around the town on your own before, and of course the whole sneaking out part.

Nevertheless, you found yourself outside by the garden wall, attempting to hoist yourself up and over. You were halfway over, your legs dangling as you laid flat on your stomach, resting for a bit when you heard laughing behind you. You jolted a bit, looking back when you saw none other than Rui, your loyal retainer. “And what are you doing?” he asked, holding back a giggle.
