I just carry out the tasks given to me, and time goes by.
During the day, I go about as usual, but I can’t sleep at night.
It’s not just me; I think Chris can’t sleep either.
ㅤ
Four days since Kyle left.
Lack of sleep continues, and there’s a throbbing pain just above my temple.
Rubbing it eases it a bit, but it’s still heavy no matter what I do.
ㅤ
I know Chris is looking worried,
But he looks terrible too.
ㅤ
After a quiet breakfast, I head straight to the office.
When I enter, I’m greeted as usual.
ㅤ
“Good morning, Sofia-sama.”
ㅤ
“Good morning.”
ㅤ
Though the greeting is the same, the office atmosphere is somehow gloomy.
I didn’t think Kyle’s absence would have such an effect, even though he’s usually quiet.
ㅤ
When I sit down, for some reason, Arno comes over to me.
It’s rare for him to come to my seat instead of assisting Chris.
Maybe he wants me to check something.
ㅤ
“Sofia-sama, do you have a moment?”
ㅤ
“What’s the matter?”
ㅤ
“From Prince Ishra, he says that it’s fine whenever Sofia-sama has some free time,
He would like you to spare a moment to hear him out.”
ㅤ
“Prince Ishra?”
ㅤ
What does Prince Ishra want to talk to me about?
Even if there was a problem, it should be handled by Eddie and the others.
If he wants to talk to me, did something happen in Rujail?
Or maybe the King of Rujail has contacted me.
ㅤ
“That’s fine. How about during today’s break?”
ㅤ
“I think that should be fine. So, when it’s your break time, Sofia-sama,
I will go over there and then come back to take over.”
ㅤ
“Yes, thank you.”
ㅤ
Come to think of it, Prince Ishra is now serving as the escort knight for Eddie and the others.
Arno will probably return to being an escort knight while Prince Ishra is here.
ㅤ
I’m curious about what happened, but there’s much work to be done.
I work without a break until afternoon, and when it’s finally time for tea,
I can take a break, and Arno leaves to switch places.
ㅤ
While resting in the back room of the office, Prince Ishra enters.
I thought he might bring someone else, but it’s just Prince Ishra.
Thinking it might be something he doesn’t want others to hear, Chris is the only one left in the room.
After making tea, Lisa also left the room.
ㅤ
“I apologize for taking your time.”
ㅤ
“It’s my break time, so it’s fine.
Prince Ishra, you must have something important to talk about?
Is it something you don’t want others to hear?”
ㅤ
“Yes. That’s why I left those from Rujail behind.”
ㅤ
He left those from Rujail behind. Does that mean it’s something he doesn’t want his countrymen to hear?
Chris’ mood changes, becoming more tense.
ㅤ
“So, is it something you don’t want Rujail to hear?”
ㅤ
“. . . Rather than not wanting them to hear, I thought they might stop me.”
ㅤ
“Stop you?”
ㅤ
While Prince Ishra, who hasn’t yet lost his right to the Rujail throne,
I wonder what the story is that he doesn’t want to be asked about in Rujail.
Even if there was something unpleasant, and he wanted to seek asylum,
He’s already planning to marry and live in Eugenis.
ㅤ
There is no dispute between the two countries, and there’s little cause for future contention.
So why is something he doesn’t want Rujail to hear?
ㅤ
“. . . I will do anything to make Emillia happy.”
ㅤ
“Yes, I know that. That’s why you’re becoming her husband, right?”
ㅤ
Usually, a prince with rights to the throne wouldn’t marry into another royal family.
It would be different if he were marrying a princess who would inherit the kingdom,
But there are probably very few royals who would marry into a family for a daughter of a younger brother like Emillia.
Even if it was the allied country Kokodia, it’s unimaginable.
Emillia plans to become a subject, and marrying her wouldn’t make sense in terms of a political alliance.
ㅤ
Even in such a situation, Prince Ishra, who is willing to marry without concern,
I believe he came to Eugenis because he wants to marry Emillia.
ㅤ
“. . .Will you make an Oath Magic with me?”
ㅤ
“Huh?”
