The Countess And Her Knight

August 31, 1822

Today we set off for our estate in the countryside. Father is set to arrive a few days after us, so it's just Mother, Cecile, and I.

Marnie isn't joining us, she says it's because she has things to attend to at home, but if you ask me it's just because she hates the country.

Cecile got motion sickness, after only an hour of travelling, and has been whining ever since.

At least Mother is excited though, she spent a lot of time in the countryside. Don't tell anyone this but she promised to take me riding while we're there.
