Chapter 10

"Emma! The Stewart family's garden has a lot of unusual plants, doesn't it?"

"Is that so?"

"Yes! From what I saw, they seem to be from the eastern regions!"

"You're quite knowledgeable!"

"Our baronial family is in the business of importing and selling plants! I help out, so I end up learning about them without even realizing it!"

"That's impressive!"

"Oh, not really! It's not that big of a deal..."

"Hehehe"

"!"

When Emma smiled, the boy who had been earnestly conversing with her blushed and fell silent.

"Oh! Emma! The Palace territory is quite warm, isn't it!"

Another boy seized the opportunity to speak while the first one was silent.

"Is that so?"

Emma tilted her head as she said this.

"So cute!"

The boy couldn't help but mutter.

"Hehehe"

Emma smiled again.

Joshua, who had introduced the young ladies, was watching the scene from a distance with Georg and William, completely ignoring the young ladies he was supposed to be introducing.

"Why! Lady Emma! To think you would give that angelic smile, which you usually only show when looking at bugs, to a complete stranger like that!"

Joshua was lamenting while gripping Georg's arm tightly.

"Joshua... That hurts, subtly."

"Lord Georg, is it alright! That baron's son has been standing right in front of Lady Emma for two and a half minutes!"

"O-oh"

"And that marquess's son is only 20 centimeters to Lady Emma's right! That's too close!"

"O-oh"

"Ah, I want to be looked at with eyes like he's looking at bugs too!"

"Joshua... Let's just be quiet for a bit."

The usually calm and composed Joshua was flustered by Emma's change, losing his composure and even making strange remarks.

Before Emma regained her memories from her past life, she wouldn't have spoken to anyone, treating the boys who approached her as if they didn't exist, and would have squatted down to watch the ants marching in a line.

Joshua had thought he could talk to such an Emma by asking her things like, "Do you know why ants don't get lost?" or "Do you know how heavy a load ants can carry?"

Joshua didn't know such an Emma.

He couldn't even get close to her...

"Joshua... If you introduce me to that girl carrying the books, I'll tell you how to help your sister."

William spoke to Joshua with a slightly mischievous look on his face.

Joshua didn't know William could look so mischievous either.

The Emma before she regained her memories was quite problematic.
