"How long have you been collecting them?"

Louryl approached and asked, picking up my pocket.

I don't know. Ever since I came back?

"Most of my allowance is in Lombardi's bank, and this is part of it."

"Most of my allowance is in Lombardy's bank, and it's part of it."

"I suppose so. If you think about your allowance..."

After loosening the pocket strap and looking at the contents, Louryl's voice stopped.

"Miss?"

"Huh?"

"Are you going to take all this money with you?"

Louryl sighed softly.

She seemed to think that I, who was unaware of the circumstances outside the mansion, had stored up ridiculous amounts of money.

"If you take half the money in this pocket..."

"No, I need it all."

"But, miss, with all this money."

"I know, that's enough money to buy a building in downtown Lombardy. I know."

Louryl's expression was dazed by my words.

"How did you know that?"

"There's a way to know everything."

I've lived alone outside the mansion for years.

"Anyway, I take all the money I need."

"If you're going to buy dresses and jewelry, why don't you just write a bill in for Lombardy mansion? You don't have to take cash like this..."

"I never said I'd buy dresses and jewelry."

I smiled at Louryl, who tilted her head at my unpredictable words.

"You're finally going out."

I got into the carriage wearing the plain, ready-to-wear from the Gallahan clothing store, which was not decorated.

In the meantime, I have sometimes gone to the Palace by carriage with my father and grandfather, but it is the first time that I have gone out alone like this.

No, I'm not alone.

"The day of going out with my Miss has come!"

With Louryl, who's more excited.

"Let's go to Lombardy Square first."

The carriage began to move slowly when Louryl passed my word to the coachman.

A familiar scene flashed through the window.

Not long after running down the boulevard from the Lombardy mansion, we arrived at the square.

"Lady, get off safely!"

Louryl stepped down first and held my hand.

"Wow."

Walking in the square after a long time was more amazing than I thought.

"Cool."

The square, where many people are busy, and the statue of first Lombardy, standing in the middle, felt much bigger than I remembered.

To be honest, compared to the always quiet and neat Lombardy mansion, the scenery is not so beautiful.

But there was definitely something energizing in the dust and loud noises of the wagons passing by.

I said, taking a deep breath in the busy air of the square.

"Let's go over there."

I grabbed Louryl's hand and pulled her one side of the square.

"What's over there, lady?"

"Yes, the most delicious bakery in the world."

I walked off the boulevard along familiar alleys.

Louryl said it was her first time here and looked around, wondering.

When I turned the corner, I saw the building I used to rent in the distance.

A small room on the second floor of that shabby building was my home.

Maybe now someone else is tired every night and is resting for tomorrow.

And in front of it is the bakery where I bought fresh bread every morning.

I couldn't stand the smell of sweet bread any longer, so I let go of Louryl's hand and ran there.

I happened to see Aunt Perry, who was displaying fresh bread.

A younger face than I remember, but the characteristic warm and friendly face remained the same.

"Hello, ma'am!"

"Huh? Yes, hello. I've never seen you before. Did you move in nearby?"

When I first moved in with a dangling bag after being kicked out of Lombardy's mansion, Aunt Perry welcomed me with this saying.

Laughing as if you met someone who will be your neighbor for a long time.

"I'm Tia!"

"Yes, Tia. You can call me Aunt Perry comfortably. What kind of bread do you want today?"

Oh, I can finally eat it!

My heart pounded.

"I'd like two baguette sandwiches!"

"Oh, I guess you've heard somewhere that our special menu is delicious."

I've missed this sandwich for the past few years, which is not written on the menu and only regular customers know.

"Miss! How could you run like that alone!"

Louryl, who followed late, gasped.

"Miss...?"

Aunt Perry takes turns looking at Louryl with round eyes.

Oh, no.

"It's my step-sister! I have an older brother who has a big age gap... haha. Feel free to call me by my first name."

"Oh, you were the youngest in the family! No wonder you look so loved! Here you go."

I could see the fat baguette cut in half and filled the sandwich with the ham and cheese that was sold at a nearby market.

"Oh, it smells good."

It was a cheap sandwich that was no match for the food at the Lombardy mansion, but I missed it so much.

"Goodbye!"

"Yes, come back!"

Aunt Perry smiled and waved.

A few steps out, Louryl whispered in my ear.

"Miss, what if you eat something like this and have a stomachache?"

"Don't worry about it. Try it, Laurel. It's really delicious."

I opened my mouth wide and asked greedily.
