Bonita stared at me when I asked her. I didn't avoid that gaze. Bonita patted my head gently.

"When did you grow up like this?"

"......."

"I feel it all over again. What a long time nine years is."

Bonita smiled at me, but I felt an unknown sadness. Bonita, who had been stroking my head for a long time, carefully resumed her speech.

"Actually, I don't know if I should say this to you."

"What?"

"I think it's too much."

Bonita's voice gave a deep tremor. I was going to say you don't have to tell me if you're so worried. But Bonita's eyes looking back at me were determined.

"Miss Helena."

"Helena?"

"The Grand Duchess, Mary's mother."

My mother's name was Helena. To be honest, the thing I wanted to remember the most when I found out I became Mary was my mother's name. I put it away from my head for a while because I thought it would make me so sad. I didn't want to regret the existence of a mother who I couldn't even meet.

When I think about my mom even when I'm Ha So-hee...... It made me sad. I don't want to love someone whom I didn't even meet.

However, hearing it like this, I felt a strange longing. I murmured Helena's name softly. Bonita hugged me again.

"It was a cold winter when Miss Mary was born. It snowed."

"......I see."

"It's still so vivid. When she saw Miss Mary's black hair, she said, "You look so lovely in contrast to the snow."

"......."

"You don't know how happy she was to know you were a girl."

In Bonita's arms, I just blinked without saying a word. Because I've never heard anything about the day I was born. It didn't feel real. I felt like I heard a distant fairy tale

She's glad I was born..... I was glad to hear that. My mom was happy that I was born. Maybe it's normal, but I was very, very happy.

"And Helena's hair was this red."

"I see..."

"When I saw that red dress, I thought that Helena would have loved it, so I teared up."

Bonita, who said that, took me out of her arms. She sniffed and gulped because she was embarrassed. Bonita smiled sweetly again.

"I didn't want to tell you these things because I thought it was too early."

"No, I wanted to hear it."

"She was such a sweet person."

That was enough for me. So, I could smile brightly. It was good just to know my mother's name and hair color. And that she was glad I was born.

"Shall we go have dinner now?"

I put on my red dress and headed for dinner. Bonita held my hand tightly all the way. I felt good to be closer to Bonita.

Even this space, which was intimidating for some reason, felt a little more familiar to me thinking that there was a touch of my mother who was happy that I was born.

"Oh, my lady, you're so lovely!"

"It looks good on you. Gille would love it."

Hestia and Lucas, who found me, were genuinely impressed. My cheeks turned red like the dress I wore when they said how cute I was.
