Special Chapter: Transitioning

Moving Out

**********

It was a hard day for many at the Duke household, for they had never expected to see their beloved young lady moving out of the mansion so soon.

"Young Ms., does this mean you are not coming back? I thought you were only staying at the palace for a couple of weeks.

Even then, everyone felt lonely when you were not around. Even old man Chef Evans said he misses your constant nagging on his cooking.

Must you really go?"

Said Nina as she stands together with the rest of the staff to see their young lady before entering the carriage.

"Nina, I told you. It won't be safe for all of you if I stay here. Besides, it's not like I'm leaving forever. It will be at most a year. I promise I will come back and visit whenever I have the chance."

"But this means this will be the first time that we won't be able to celebrate your birthday and the holidays with you."
