**Early Morning**
The sound of approaching carriages echoed through the courtyard.
**Maids:** "It's the Duke's carriage! Inform the lady at once!"
---
Meanwhile, **Lewis** sneezed loudly from the top floor of the mansion.
**Lewis:** "Achoo..."
---
As the Duke arrived, all the servants and the lady of the house lined up neatly to welcome him.
**Rose:** "Welcome back, my dear."
Standing before them was **Duke Lawrence**.
**Lawrence:** "It has been a long time."
Despite the large crowd gathered to greet him, Lawrence immediately noticed the absence of the little girl who used to pester him with her clumsy welcomes.
However, he didn't seem particularly bothered.
---
After the Duke entered, a grand feast was quickly prepared in his honor. He sat directly across from Rose, who was smiling warmly, dressed elegantly.
**Lawrence:** "Where is she?"
**Rose:** "Who do you mean?"
**Lawrence:** "The girl... what was her name... Bring her to me."
At the mention of the girl, a flash of anger crossed Rose's face, but she forced herself to remain composed.
---
Soon, **Lewis**, now inhabiting the young girl's body, entered the grand dining hall. He bowed respectfully before the Duke.
**Lewis:** "Welcome back, Your Grace."
Both the Duke and Rose were taken aback.
The girl, who used to trip over her words and fumble awkwardly, now moved and spoke with the poise of nobility.
The Duke smiled faintly.
**Lawrence:** "Come. Sit beside me."
Even **Evie** herself, witnessing Lewis's graceful behavior through her own body, was stunned.
She had never seen herself act with such elegance.
Despite the body's hunger, Lewis maintained a noble demeanor at the table, showcasing the girl's potential to everyone present.
This display began to shift the Duke's previously indifferent view of the child.
---
**Lawrence:** "Hmm... Little one, what is your name?"
**Lewis:** "Evie, Your Grace."
**Lawrence:** "From now on, a private tutor will be assigned to you. Your room will be changed as well."
At this, Rose, struggling to hold back her rage, hurled her wine glass against the wall.
**Lawrence:** "Leave us now."
**Lewis:** "Yes, Your Grace."
