As Seira and Leonard were enjoying the pudding she had made, there was the sound of someone pressing the doorbell in front.
"Who came all of a sudden? Why didn't they tell us beforehand that someone was coming today?" asked a curious Leonard, and Seira stood up from her chair to open the door.
"Let me open it," she said and walked to the front door. But Leonard immediately followed to see who had come to their mansion.
When she opened the door, she saw a man standing in front of her wearing quite luxurious clothes, and a smiling face.
His hair was white and his eyes were red, looking so handsome and perfect for a man like him.
"Good afternoon, you must be the servant of Leonard and the others. My name is Theodore Dru Manskova, I came here to see Leonard," said Theodore who kept watching Seira's face.
Seira herself continued to pay attention to him, until she had a little daydream. But she immediately realized herself and invited Theodore to enter.
Leonard, who had just arrived, saw Theodore and immediately greeted him.
It turned out that the man was the Duke of the East, who oversaw the Eastern area not far from them.
"I didn't expect you to come here."
"Is it wrong if I want to visit you all? It's been a while since we've met and talked in person. So I thought it would be a good time to come. But unfortunately I came at a bad time because neither Harvey nor Albert are here," he said.
"That's right, they're out doing their thing. But right now I think they are visiting some people they recognize," Leonard replied.
Seira placed two cups of tea and some snacks like a plate of biscuits on the table. The Duke's eyes continued to watch her.
Somehow he felt so familiar with Seira, even though this was his first time meeting her.
He had come to the mansion several times, but he knew that there were several servants who changed every time he came. And now their maid was Seira.
"May I know your name?" Theodore asked her.
"My name is Seira. Is there anything you need, Your Grace?"
"Your face is quite familiar to me. Have we met before? Perhaps in a place or a situation where we saw each other?" he asked.
Because he felt he had met her. But he couldn't remember where and when it happened.
"Have you met each other before?" asked a curious Leonard as he looked at Theodore and Seira in turn.
But Seira denied it, saying that they had never met each other. She didn't even know Theodore's face until they met in this mansion.
Theodore nodded in understanding. But still, he felt that they had met each other. Because the feeling when he was with Seira did not feel strange.
During his conversation with Leonard, Theodore's eyes kept glancing at Seira who was standing behind the knight.
Likewise with Seira, she occasionally glanced at the Duke. It was not uncommon for their eyes to meet each other's as they glanced at each other.
Whatever it was, Theodore could not dismiss the familiar feeling he had for Seira. But he still didn't know anything about her.
'She does look familiar to me. Who in the world is she? I feel like I've seen those eyes before. Those green eyes that are so beautiful with the combination of her red hair color,' he thought at that time.
Seira who continued to be stared at felt a little wary of Theodore. She was worried that he might say something she didn't want to hear.
'If he finds out, what will his reaction be?' Seira thought.
"I'm going to make lunch. So if you'll excuse me, Lord Leonard and Your Grace," Seira said and withdrew to the kitchen.
Theodore continued to watch where Seira had gone.
"Are you interested in her?" Leonard asked suddenly which made Theodore somewhat surprised.
Seeing Theodore's reaction, Leonard chuckled, then said that Seira was not a woman who was easily attracted to anyone. Moreover, approaching her was so difficult.
"You've been watching her all this time. You look like you're eager to talk to her further. Unfortunately, she rarely talks," he said.
"No, I'm not interested in anything like that with her. It's just that I really feel her face is so familiar to someone I've met in the past. But I don't remember who it was," Theodore replied.
They thought for a moment, Could it be that Seira and Theodore had known each other in the past but they didn't remember it? But where? Considering their social status was also very different and there was no way Theodore could meet Seira.
Theodore was a Duke, a fairly high level noble while Seira was just an ordinary woman and she said she lived in a remote village in the kingdom.
"Could it be that she was one of your servants back then? But he stopped working to do so," Leonard said, suggesting a possibility. But Theodore denied it because he remembered who worked for him.
"I don't think that's possible. If that woman worked for me before, then what was her reason for quitting her job? Plus she must have worked in the palace before be your maid."
But Leonard also did not understand and did not know where Theodore had met Seira before. This made Theodore even more curious about the servant woman, not to mention the feeling of familiarity around him that made Theodore want to be around her longer.
Not long after, Harvey and Albert returned to the massion and finally met up with Theodore. They chatted about the few things they had missed while waiting for lunch to finish.
"Then go to the kitchen first. We have a few things to discuss for a while," Harvey said to the Duke and Theodore went to the dining room first.
He was already familiar with the mansion and knew where their dining room was located in the kitchen.
Although his position as the Duke was above the knights, but he realized that the 3 knights were much more valuable to the Emperor. Because they brought so many victories to the Empire.
When he finally reached the kitchen, Theodore saw Seira preparing lunch for them. She turned to him and looked at him with her green eyes that looked so innocent.
That look, made Theodore suddenly feel like he was kicked into his old memories. Where he had seen a little girl with the same look in her eyes when he was also a child.
He walked up to her, continuing to stare at her making Seira feel even more confused and try not to give a big reaction.
"Your Grace?"
"Is that you? The girl I met under the wysteria flower tree?"
Seira's eyes widened when the man mentioned the wysteria flower.
"Is... That you?"
