Even before she could chew it all, Rachel, fascinated by the sweet macarons, covered her mouth with her brackish hands. Sometimes it was also Celia’s behavior when she had dessert in her mouth and it was difficult to answer.

Celia looked at the child as if she was cute when she found out that she had copied her behavior.

While watching Rachel stamping her feet and eating macarons, her maid, Judy, approached carefully.

“Madam.”

“What?”

“The new stable keeper has arrived.”

“Oh, that’s right….”

The work she had forgotten for a while was like a crumpled paper that she had to unfold again.

“Why don’t you come with me, Rachel? I’m going to say hello to the new worker.”

Celia rose from her seat, saw Rachel sitting alone, and asked with a gentle smile. It was the only joy of the day, but it was too bad to spend Rachel like this.

“Yes, good!”

Rachel, who chewed up the macaron, jumped out of the chair. Celia reached out and raised her arm and clasped her hand.

“Ah…! Lady, wait!”

Rachel let go of Celia’s hand and rushed to the tea table. Celia looked still because she couldn’t understand.

She placed three macarons on a small handkerchief, drank the milk left in her cup at once, and then returned to Celia.

“Are you going to eat on the way?”

Celia asked, wiping the milk marks around her mouth with her hands.

“Oh, no! I’m going to give it to my new family!”

“Why? That’s Rachel’s.”

“Because it’s delicious! I’m sure the new worker will like it!”

Rachel, who answered bravely, was worried that the handkerchief might slip from her hands containing three macarons, and walked with care in her arms. Neither Judy nor Celia could take their eyes off such Rachel.

When they arrived at the stable, the new stablekeeper who was talking to the head of the stable saw Celia and hurriedly took off. At the same time, he bowed his head while pressing his son’s head with his hand.

“Madam, I’m pleased to meet you. My name is Jack Baker, the new stable keeper. This is my only son, Dominic Baker.”

“Welcome. So, you came here after working for the Duke of Petron?”

“Yes, that’s right. I may not be good enough, but I was in Duke’s place for a while.”

“Duke Petron is reliable. I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

“I’ll do my best to manage the stable, madam.”

Jack found his son Dominic next to Celia and Rachel, who appeared to be his age. I knew there were no children in this family, but Jack was flustered for a moment by seeing a girl of about four years.

Rachel was holding Celia’s hand tightly and hesitating. Blond hair like a lake and green eyes like green grass. Dominic’s face quickly turned red when she looked at him, he had never seen people his age, with a shy expression.

“Rachel, you brought a gift for the new employee, didn’t you?”

As Celia pushed Rachel’s back, she stood in front of them, hugging her handkerchief tightly.

Rachel, who alternately looked at Jack and Dominic, held out a pink lace handkerchief to Dominic, who was at her level.

He didn’t know what the contents were, but Jack pushed Dominic on the back and urged him to receive her handkerchief.

“Come on, you have to say thank you and hello.”

Dominic suddenly began to huff. Then he hit the handkerchief in Rachel’s hand. In the sudden situation, Rachel, Celia, Dominic and Judy were also surprised. Jack was the most surprised of all.

“Oh, my! I’m sorry, madam! He’s not mature yet.…! Dominic, what have you done? What are you doing without apologizing!”

He just came to work for the first time, and his son was in trouble from the first day. Jack bent almost as if he were waiting, and pressed Dominic hard on his head to get down.

“Oh, I don’t want to! Why would I!”

Jack didn’t know what was wrong with his child who had been doing well until they came. He broke up with his wife and couldn’t leave his seven-year-old child at home alone, so they came to the Count together, but why is he suddenly mean?

“Come on! Get down, you punk!”

“Stop it, Baker.”

“Ha, but……!”

In the end, the boss who couldn’t wait stopped him.

‘I’m about to be kicked out in a day……!’

Jack looked at Celia’s face alternately with a fainted face.

Rachel looked blankly at the macarons and her handkerchief lying on the floor. Macarons with a happy taste were rolling on the dirt floor, with her favorite pink lace handkerchief.

Even though the bottom of the dress would get dirty, Rachel squatted down without hesitation and began to pick up the handkerchief and macarons. Jack stared at Rachel in bewilderment.

“Oh, miss……!”

He hoped that he would apologize to the lady, but Dominic just turned his head and pouted his lips.

After picking up the dirty handkerchief and macarons rolled on the dirt floor, Rachel looked down at the macarons with sand on them, and held one in her hand.

“Ack!”

“Miss?!”

“Rachel!”

She threw it to Dominic.

“Ack! Aaahh!”

Two, three. She threw all of the macaroons, which had been in the handkerchief. When she put it in her mouth, it was a melting macaron, but when she threw it, it was quite solid. Pok! There was a loud noise.

Only when Dominic, who was hit hard with a snack he saw for the first time, was about to shout at Rachel with his bulky face, he caught sight of Rachel.

She was clenching the soil-covered handkerchief at her hands while there were tears under her eyelashes.

“Rachel! You can’t throw food at people!”

It was Celia, who reprimanded her, but she seemed to be holding back her laughter. She was going to overlook it just this time because he is still like a child, but she can’t believe that the calm Rachel would come forward like this.

“But lady! He threw the macarons first!”

“Still, throwing food at people is bad behavior.”

“Hiing…”

Rachel, who was shedding tears, glared sharply at Dominic. Dominic’s heart sank at Rachel’s eyes. When the doll-like child stared at him, there was no wildcat.

“What, what…!”

“Hey! I apologize!”

“Hi…hik….”

Jack didn’t know why he threw the macaron that the girl gave him. He had never seen such a pretty child like a doll in the years of his life. Such a child was shy and handed him snacks wrapped in a pretty pink handkerchief.

Dominic, you know…….

“Ugly girl!”

It was a sign of shame.

“Hyaaang!”

Ena patted Rachel on the back, crying sadly with tears and a runny nose. She was on her way to pick up Rachel in time to finish her tea time with Celia. She heard Rachel’s cry, so she ran and it was like this.

Embarrassed, Ena greeted Celia and immediately picked up Rachel and ran. When Rachel began to cry with her arms around Ena’s neck in earnest, Celia gestured to Ena to go in first. Thanks to that, she was able to come back to her room right away.

“Miss, what on earth is going on…….”

“Waaaaaah! He said I’m ugly!”

Rachel had never heard such a word in her life, or in her lifetime. Rachel also knew she was pretty. That’s because none of the dolls in the room were prettier than her.

For Rachel, that boy with curly red hair and freckles that came from somewhere was being bad at her. Even when throwing a happy-tasting macaron, it was not so sad.

It was the saddest moment of her life.

***

Ena stopped her pen while trying to record the day. Is it okay to write this as well?

The situation was told by Judy, Celia’s maid. Obviously, if she told Terrence this, it would be a battlefield, and run back into the mansion.

Besides, what about the new stable guy? It doesn’t matter if he loses his job safely, but if he does it wrong, the recommendation letter could be torn to shreds. Or Terrence might pull out a sword. Just as he pointed a sword at the employee who tried to pinch Rachel’s cheek before.

“…Let’s forget it just this once.”

Ena sighed while writing the letter thinking that she would save a person.

***

Here’s what happened to Rachel’s day. After having breakfast with Ena, she had a tea time with Lady Celia in the afternoon, and after Lady Celia went to her work, she began studying her

“That’s right! How can my lady be so smart!”

Rachel was quick to learn compared to her peers. Once taught, she even applied it, and there was no time for Ena’s lips to dry up.

Even though she smiled and praised Rachel, Ena would often smile bitterly. Rachel had no idea what she was doing. She just thought there was something sad.

At the end of Ena’s writing, Rachel wandered around the mansion. The place where she arrived today was none other than the kitchen.

“Hello!”

” Miss! What brings you here……!”

” Do you have any macarons?”

The chef was bewildered when she came alone without anyone and looked for macarons as soon as she saw the chef.

“Macarons? What exactly….”

“Happy taste!”

“Happy taste?”

Rachel remembered the face of Ena, who looked gloomy. She’s sure Ena would feel better if she eats the macaron. Just as how she was happy to eat the macaron.

At that moment, she remembered the red curly hair of Dominic, who threw a handkerchief containing macarons. She’s sure Dominic was so mean because he hadn’t tried macarons.

“Ah! You mean raspberry chocolate!”

The chef clapped his hands as if he had remembered it.

“Raspberry chocolate?”

“You mean the pink sparkling macaron?”

“Yes!”

It was the macaron, which was served as a tea-time dessert for Reisle and Celia a few days ago. The chef was delighted as if he had guessed Rachel’s riddle, but immediately scratched his thick chin with a troubled expression.

“What am I going to do……. Today, I made a different macaron, not a raspberry chocolate…….”

The chef, who had been aging macarons to be exported tomorrow, looked alternately between the kitchen and Rachel as if he was in trouble.

“Then there isn’t…?”

“There is no raspberry chocolate, but there is rose chocolate.”

The chef turned right around and went into the kitchen. The chef, who returned shortly after, had a white lace-shaped ceramic plate with dark pink macarons on it.

The chef bent down offering her to try it and held out the plate at the level of Rachel’s eyes.

Rachel didn’t ignore his favor and took a bite of the rose chocolate macaron with an expectant face. As she moved her small lips, the chef glistened at Razzle.

“What do you think?”

Rachel was surprised at the scent of roses that felt full in her mouth and covered her mouth with her small hands.

“Flowers bloom in my mouth!”

“Ahahaha!”

The chef smiled because she was cute.

“Is this also a happy taste?”

“Well…”

Rachel pondered, rolling her tongue over the sweet chocolate fillings left in her mouth.

“This is a happy taste! The taste of flowers blooming in my mouth!”

“Oh, my!”

The scent of roses was amazing, but it wasn’t Rachel’s taste. But it was clear that Ena would like it if flowers bloom in her mouth. Because Ena would sometimes crouch down in the garden and smell the flowers.

“Can I take three of these?”

“Of course! Of course! Take plenty. I’ve made a lot!”

When Rachel opened her three fingers and asked, the chef nodded and went back into the kitchen. The chef, who came out again, put six macarons in a white handkerchief and held them out to Razzle.

“Thank you!”

“Good-bye, young lady-!”

After receiving the macaroon from the chef, Rachel ran to Ena, jumping like a rabbit.

‘I hope Anna likes it!’

“Ena!”

After arriving at the room, Rachel saw the empty room and stepped back. It was obvious that Ena would be looking at flowers in the garden if she wasn’t in the room.

“Ena!”

However, even though she left the mansion and walked around the garden, she couldn’t see Ena. While walking along the wide garden path and looking for Ena, Rachel stopped at the soft cry of a horse from afar. It must be the sound from the stable that comes out of walking along the road beyond the grass.

‘Why is it crying like that?’

Rachel couldn’t overcome her curiosity and walked straight through the grass and across the forest path. The horse’s cry grew louder and louder as he walked louder and louder.

“Hiing!”

Arriving at the stable, she stuck out her head and looked around. She was wondering if there was a Dominic with red hair.

There was no one in the stable. Neither the mean Dominic nor his father Jack seemed to be away.

“Hello?”

The horse that continued to howl was a dark brown colt that still seemed to be a baby. A colt that has the same height as her instantly captivated Rachel.

The colt looked at her with black sparkling eyes and cried once more, and Rachel approached it carefully.

“Why are you so sad? Are you scared because there’s no one?”

There were no other horses in the stable. She doesn’t know if Jack took the horses somewhere, but this little colt was left.

The colt pulled its face out of the cage and sniffed its moist nose toward the handkerchief in Rachel’s hand.

“Why? Do you want to eat this?”

When she unfolded the handkerchief, the colt cried again. Rachel agonized over the six macaroons.

‘I brought this for Ena…….’

It was a macaron for Ena, but it seemed that the colt was also sad.

Eventually, Rachel took out a macaron and gave it to the colt. The colt immediately put a small macaron in his small hand in a bite, moved his wide lips, and nodded loudly to see if he felt good.

“This is a happy taste for you.”

It tasted a little happy to her, but it seemed like a very happy taste to this colt.

Rachel felt good about the colt’s reaction, so she put two, three, and four in its mouth.

And she looked at the remaining two macaroons and agonized. She brought this for Ena, but… she can’t stop giving it to a colt because it likes it so much.

In the end, it was the moment to give one more and put the last macaron in its mouth.

“Oh, my lady-!”

At the sudden sound of the man’s voice, Rachel was startled and dropped the remaining macarons on the floor. When she looked around, calming down her thumping chest, there was Jack with a desperate expression and Dominic with freckles that she didn’t want to see so much.

Jack screamed one more time when the colt put the fallen macaron in its mouth. As Rachel hunched over her shoulder, Jack asked Rachel in an angry and intimidating voice.

“Did you feed the macaron to this colt?”
