One week later, it is Her Highness Irene’s birthday.

As announced, Her Highness will perform a popular piece in Ezersta, where Miri and I are from, in the hope that the friendship with the Kingdom of Ezersta will be maintained.

I will attend the performance because I taught piano to Her Highness Irene.

Unfortunately, Miri was not allowed to attend.

Her Highness said it would be fine, but of course, she was the reason why my wedding with His Highness Alfred was postponed. There is no way she can be forgiven.

“Alfred-sama, could you please give it to Irene-sama at her birthday party? I don’t have any money or anything, so I wrote a poem in Albania. It’s a poem to wish Irene a happy birthday.”

“I see. My sister will be happy. I’ll give it to her.”

Perhaps the most surprised by Miri’s change was His Highness Alfred.

It’s as if she’s become a different person, calmer and more considerate of others.

She has also grown a lot in terms of knowledge, as she studies hard to learn things with an open mind.

“This is a profound work. Mr. and Mrs. Arzel… If you think about it, she’s your sister. She can’t be that bad.”

Not only did they not educate her, they didn’t even teach her to be patient and let her do whatever she wanted. By the time I realized it, it was too late and she stopped listening to me no matter what I said.

My father and mother, who are no longer around, did not educate Miri or even discipline her in a simple way.

They gave her whatever she wanted without bothering her, and she thought she could get anything she wanted by crying.

“Well, Irene has been nagging at me, but don’t take it personally. I’m sure this is better for both you and your sister’s future.”

“Yes, I understand. I know that you are thinking about Miri’s future…”

No matter how much Her Highness Irene would allow it, it was clear that allowing Miri to attend the party would only be detrimental to her.

I believe that His Highness Alfred’s judgment is correct.

“Then I will see you tomorrow. Thank you for giving Irene piano lessons.”

“No, I didn’t teach her much. Irene has a good memory.”

“Hahaha, we both agree that you are a very good teacher. I want to hear you play again.”

His Highness Alfred laughed and left the room.

I never realized how precious the peaceful flow of time is. I thought to myself as I watched Miri happily touching the piano in the room.

“Hey Onesama…can you play the song that Irene is playing for her birthday? I somehow know that I have done something wrong and will not be able to attend, but I’m really curious to hear what the song will be.”

“Of course, that’s fine. I played this song many times when I was at Ezersta.”

Miri understands that she is under house arrest for doing something wrong.

Even if she doesn’t remember, she must have sensed such things.

Of course, the song that Her Highness Irene is going to play is the same one that I played many times when I was at home.

I don’t know if Miri was listening to it properly…

“Well, I’ll play it…”

I touched the keys with a plonk and began to play.

I hit the keys as if I were gliding my fingers over the running water.

As if to represent the beautiful lake of Ezersta—.

“… It’s a very beautiful song…”

Miri exclaimed in admiration.

After all, she doesn’t seem to remember it.

We’re going to climax. Let’s get it going.

“Eh? Do I know… do I know… do I know this song? Ah, ah, ah, ah, my head, my head, it hurts…!”

“Mi-Miri?!”

Suddenly, Miri began to suffer and held his head.

Could it be that her memory is coming back?

If that’s the case, Miri—.

“Oh, no, no, no, no, no… I… I… I don’t… What did I…?! No! No! NOOOOooo…!”

Miri cried out in despair… And then she fainted—.
