<span>That night, Rishe went to the field as usual apanied by two of her knight guards.


    <span>She was wearing a dark blue dress that was washable and hid any stains. Her long hair, which she usually let down, was tied high up in a ponytail.


    <span>The knights waited a short distance away while she silently began to harvest the herbs.


    <span>All she could think about were the concerns that arose today.


    <i><span>Count Rovine will be present at the soiree. No matter how you look at it, Luciu’s real identity will be exposed…</i>


    <span>She uprooted the weeds while also thinning out the sprouts of the medicinal nts.


    <span>The moon was full tonight, so it was almost enough to work without antern by her side.


    <i><span>Although, I was going to reveal my identity and apologize after the training period was over. Until then, I’d like to get some genuine training as a real knight cadet.</i>


    <span>Rishe wanted to study in depth the knights of the country.


    <span>She wanted to know about the wars that Rovine and his friends talked about, plus the military ideologies of Garkhain.


    <span>It wasn’t just for her own training and physical fitness.


    <i><span>By doing so, I feel like I could understand a little bit about what “Emperor Arnold Hein” will be cooking up in five years’ tim</i><span>e.


    <span>Rishe sighed as she thinned out the little sprouts.


    <span>Then, she gingerly regained her spirits.


    <i><span>— As for the evening party, we’ll have to find a way to properly entertain Prince Kyle without being noticed by Count Rovine and suspected by His Highness Arnold. I’ll tide over it with that hand! It’s grueling, but I’m sure I can apply my fifth life to it.</i>


    <span>She brushed the dirt from her hands and stood up.


    <span>Thanks to the muscle pains that assaulted her entire body, she has gotten used to the constant pains, though it hurt when she was working.


    <span>“Are you going back, Rishe-sama?”


    <span>“I’m sorry, a little longer. I need to harvest some medicinal herbs today.”<span>


    <span>She replied to the knight and lifted the basket of weeds she had plucked out.


    <span>The night breeze drifted softly and caressed her cheeks.


    <span>After spring, a short rainy season would follow on this continent. Tonight’s wind was a pleasant breeze that heralded such a rainy season.


    <span>Would it be the butterfly season soon? Perhaps, she could find a ce to watch them in the castle as well.


    <span>While pondering, she caught sight of some flickering lights from the windows of the tower a short distance away.


    <span>Normally, that area would have been pitch ck. As Rishe looked on, a knight noticed and informed her, “That’s the tower where the Koyor schrs are staying.”


    <span>“Oh, I see.”


    <span>Kyle’s room was prepared in the main castle, but the others were probably staying there.


    <span>There must be some of the schrs who were acquaintances with Rishe. Of course, in this life, Rishe knew them one-sidedly.


    <i><span>I wonder if Jerome or Gideon is around. Greg doesn’t like ships, so he’s likely to stay on Koyor.</i>


    <span>There were faces that inevitably came to mind as she remembered the people she missed.


    <i><span>Master is now traveling from ce to ce in search of pharmaceutical literature.</i>


    <span>About a year and a half in her life as an apothecary, she met the man who became her pharmacy mentor.


    <span>He looked out for Rishe, who learned medicine on her own, and taught her a lot of things.


    <span>She had been with that master for about two years, but she still had a lot to learn from him.
