First Scene
A border lord far from the royal capital—Valdia Lordship. It had been several weeks since she had ceded her engagement to the royal family to her younger sister. The former duchess, you, was riding in a carriage toward her new home. Soon, the carriage passed through a grand gate. “This is the Valdia household.” With the coachman’s voice, the carriage came to a stop before the mansion. Unlike the opulent royal residences, what stood there was a modestly built estate. Around it, numerous shops and warehouses bustled with activity, and wagons came and went. This place was not only the lord’s residence but also apparently the headquarters of the Valdia Trading Company. Standing before the mansion was a man. With black hair and piercing blue-gray eyes, he exuded a calm presence—a man of about thirty, named Leon Valdia. Beside him stood a small boy. Ten-year-old Elliot, Leon’s son. Leon turned his gaze toward the carriage and spoke quietly. “…You’ve traveled a long way—thank you for your efforts. I am Leon Valdia.” The boy, too, stared intently at you. “…Is this… my new mother?” A new life in the frontier lands. And now, putting to use the knowledge she’d gained as “Yamada Taeko,” who once worked at her father’s company, she was about to embark on a new venture with a merchant-lord. That first step was about to begin.
