Remember, the weather that day was scorching hot.

The sun was right overhead, the remembered heat not comfortable at all.

For the self of that time, the only wish was to go home and hide under the bookshelf, using reading as the best way to beat the heat.

However, this wish did not come true.

Father got an opportunity as a tailor, gaining the recognition of the King of Dusk.

The King of Dusk planned to invite father to his castle and give him a sacred task.

To make a birthday gift for the King's daughter, the Princess of Dusk, a new long dress.

The reward for this job was extremely generous, equivalent to several years of income.

Of course, father did not refuse and readily agreed to the King.

And so, on that day of Shia, I arrived at the City of Dusk.

"Hahaha~ See? He is the new attendant of this Princess!"

The blonde girl on the right was the daughter of a customer, Princess Elyse.

Although Elyse stood confidently with her hands on hips, saying that, I was definitely not her attendant.

"No, isn't it the case?! This attendant is clearly just like us, all children, right?"

And the silver-haired girl on the left was the daughter of a minister in the City of Dusk at that time, Sophiel.

Finally, as the central focus of the two girls’ conversation, I stood behind them.

Three children, two girls full of innocence and energy, with only me looking at the ground.

Walking in a certain garden of the castle, not looking at flowers or people, Daniel just wanted to go home.

If not for Elyse forcing him to play with her, and not for father instructing him to care for the King's daughter, Daniel wouldn't have come along.

Even though there were hidden real attendants behind him, Daniel couldn't go home and had nothing else to do except gaze at the ground.

With a sigh, he pushed up his glasses, the eight-year-old Daniel reluctantly following Elyse ahead.

"Nana~ I heard your sister opened her 'third eye', right?" Elyse curiously asked.

"What's a 'third eye'? It's the 'Heavenly Eye,' that's what my dad said~"

"Whether it's the Third Eye or Heavenly Eye, it's just an amazing eye, right?"

"Of course! My sister is the smartest and most amazing in the world~"

"I know~ fortunately, I brought my attendant today so you can see how amazing he is~"

"What?"

Facing the two little girls ahead, Daniel sighed once again.

"Daniel is also very smart~ He helped me solve math problems from the teacher yesterday~"

"Oh, your math teacher's questions are indeed quite difficult. I took some home last time, and my mother couldn't solve any of them."

Listening to the conversation between the noble girls, Daniel realized that not all nobles enjoyed reading; many were like ordinary children, enjoying only play.

However, as long as these two little girls continued chatting, it was a good thing for Daniel.

For Daniel, who was not good at communicating with others, being able to complete his father's task without dialogue was the best outcome.

Continuing to walk, they finally reached the end of the garden.

"Sis~"

"Mikoni, sister~"

At the end of the path was a small round table.

Surrounded by countless flowers, there sat a young girl.

As Daniel looked up, his gaze was captivated by what he saw.

For the first time, the young Daniel was interested in something other than books.

A girl slightly older than himself, with silver hair like Sophiel, but with long hair unlike Sophiel's short hair.

The girl before him had long, flowing hair, and when combined with those purple eyes, exuded an indescribable charm.

With just one look, Daniel could never forget her presence.
