In a one-country territory in the north, it could also be called house arrest life. Storms came at best three months after it began.

The quiet residence of a couple of deacons and cooks, one maid and one servant of the former main residence, who manages the old lord's residence owned by the Duke of Rufus, gently welcomed me (although at first I seemed to have been unable to treat me quite well) as the current Duke's house.

I wish I'd quit, but I don't know what I'd do this time alone, and this mansion should be very quiet except for the busy Lichten who sews between his studies with my father, the Duke, and clings to this mansion with a townhouse in the King's Capital.
