With the group having split into three, one going to subjugate Ice Queen and find Mahsuri, another to subjugate the giant mammoth and if possible tamed them, Lady Air have volunteered herself to help the group three, to help group three in resolving the slave merchant case
Going through the list of suspicious noble that she think will most likely buy a slave, she quickly glanced each of their monthly report, how they manage their territory, how their financial status, their status among their subjects, various documents were spread out Infront of her just to help her niece
"Aunty Air, are you alright" [Mile]
Mile enter Lady Air room while Ray is behind her, trying to stop his little sister rude behaviour
"I am fine, why do you ask" [Lady Air]
"Well, you are crying after the meal, so Mile is worry" [Mile]
"I see, thank you Mile" [Lady Air]
Lady Air put up a warm smile to reassure Mile she is doing fine. Seeing it, not only Mile but Ray also have a sense of relief in him
"Mile, Ray, you should rest soon since tomorrow we will visit some of my 'friend'" [Lady Air]
"Mile will sleep with you, so Mile will wait for you Aunty" [Mile]
"I see, in that case I should finish my work soon, how about you Ray?" [Lady Air]
"I'll sleep with the other" [Ray]
"Well, you should go to their room now, if you enter late you might disturb their sleep and that might hamper their activities tomorrow" [Lady Air]
"Yes, I will, Good night Mile, Good Night Lady Air" [Ray]
""Good night"" [Lady Air, Mile]
With that, Ray excuses himself and go to the man room whereas Mile not doing what to do when she is alone start humming by herself
"What song is that Mile?" [Lady Air]
"Princess Sister Alfin sing it at that night, and brother Azumi use his magic to make some pretty thing in the air, its very pretty and the song is very nice" [Mile]

"I see, well, I have finish my work, how about you sing it for me when we sleep" [Lady Air]
"OK!" [Mile]
With that, Mile keep on humming the song, she can't remember 90% of the lyric, but her favourite part about the snow and tomorrow remain stuck in her mind, so she keep saying those word repeatedly until she fall asleep. Lady Air who keep on listening to Mile got some of the message that Alfin wanted to convey through that song
"Truly beautiful, you really have grownups to be a wonderful lady, Alfin" [Lady Air]
Morning have come and Mile greet Lady Air energetically, both of them then proceed to wash theirselves before having breakfast
It's look like the three group already have an early breakfast. The only one left are Duke Hiaccio, Lady Air, Ray and Mile having a breakfast
"So this is the list of noble that i found suspicious"[Lady Air]
"Well, from what I heard, they have some bad rumours, so you should be careful" [Duke Hiaccio]
"I know and I will, plus I don't want to raise too much suspicious" [Lady Air]
"Well, with our niece here and you suddenly visiting them, they will totally be on guard" [Duke Hiaccio]
"That's why bringing Ray and Mile will help" [Lady Air]
"So, how do you plan to bring them? As an attendee or as a grandchildren?" [Duke Hiaccio]
"I will introduce Ray as Mr Wright student, so he will be like butler-in-training, as for Mile, she will be as Mile herself, I can just said that she is currently following his brother to cheer him on" [Lady Air]
"I see know, Wright, have the necessary preparations been done for my lovely wife?" [Duke Hiaccio]
"Everything have been prepared" [Mr Wright]
"Good, you should follow them as well, that way we will have more information" [Duke Hiaccio]
"How about monitoring the church activities?" [Mr Wright]
"I'll handle it myself" [Duke Hiaccio]
"Understood" [Mr Wright]
Finishing their breakfast, the four of them change to a suitable clothing for the noble home visit. Ray have an attire that closely resemble Mr Wright whereas Mile cloth resemble Lady Air
Lady Air also take one bodyguard with her. At first she think that having a bodyguard might cause the opposite party to raise their guard but a Duke wife not having one will definitely raise more suspicious, so she thought that doing thing as normally she would is the best course of action.
With that, the five of them took another carriage and go to the first noble house. For Mile, the objective is simply to have fun while for the other, is to gather as much information as possible
