Awakening Love Reborn to Be His Duchess (Elowen Hale) novel Chapter 465

Mira stood in front of the towering bookcases with a troubled look on her face, scanning row after row.

"There are just way too many books here..."

She murmured the title Tales of the Fox Spirit under her breath as she searched, her fingers brushing along the spines.

Not this shelf.

And not that one either...

A flicker of anxiety crept into her voice. "Where on earth did it go? I'm sure I saw it last night..."

"Mira."

A gentle voice came from nearby.

"What does the book Her Grace is looking for look like?"

It was Scarlet.

Mira answered without turning around, still focused on the shelves. "It's bound in indigo leather, no title stamped on the spine." Then she paused and glanced over her shoulder. "Why?"

Scarlet lifted a hand and pointed toward a case further inside the room. "Then it should be over there. Second shelf up, fifth from the left. Indigo binding, blank spine."

Mira hesitated, clearly unsure, but she walked over anyway and pulled the book free.

The moment she saw the cover, her eyes widened.

It really was Tales of the Fox Spirit.

"It actually is!" she said, both surprised and delighted, hugging the book as she turned back. "Scarlet, how do you remember something like that so clearly? You only just arrived, and you can't even read."

Scarlet lowered her gaze, her voice soft and steady. "That's why I asked what it looked like. I wiped down these shelves earlier, so I remembered where everything was placed."

"You're seriously underselling yourself."

Mira laughed as she carried the book over to Elowen. "Your Grace, Scarlet's memory is unbelievable. She only cleaned the shelves once, and she already knows where everything is."

Elowen lifted a brow, clearly intrigued. "Does she now?"

Mira's smile turned playful. "Why not put her to the test?"

Elowen did not hesitate.

She called Scarlet closer, dipped her pen into ink, and wrote three words on a sheet of parchment. "Take a good look at these. Remember what they look like."

Scarlet studied them carefully, then gave a small nod.

Elowen counted silently to three, then covered the writing with her hand. "All right. Now go find the book that matches what you just saw."

Scarlet answered softly and walked toward the shelves.

Elowen and Mira watched without blinking, their attention fixed on her.

Scarlet did not wander or hesitate. She went straight to one of the cases, reached for the third shelf, and pulled out a single volume with quiet certainty.

Elowen took it, opened it, and found it was exactly the one she had in mind.

Still not satisfied, and now genuinely entertained, she tested Scarlet again.

Is this what it means to remember everything at a glance?
