“Ah, you mean because of the suspicious man who appeared in the neighboring market? That does make me a bit scared too. Walking around in a mask and robe, what kind of crazy bastard…”

The flower shop girl said cheerfully.

“Still, the Crown Prince seems to be quite a decent person. There are stories that he handles work well, and he even issued an official statement saying that preparations are all in place even if the barbarians attack again, so we can go about our daily lives comfortably. I was vaguely anxious until now, so it’s really fortunate.”

She handed the beautifully wrapped flowers to Huyd with a smile.

“If you tell the guards who came with the Crown Prince, wouldn’t they catch that crazy bastard right away?”

“I see. Still, until that guy is caught, I should tell Yus to stay home quietly.”

Huyd said with a shudder.

“Anyway, something feels very unsettling…”

“Did you live doing bad things enough to be followed? If it’s not something like that, what’s there to feel unsettled about? Ah, the man upstairs from us once had an affair and got caught when his wife followed him… but it’s not like that, right?”

“Yes, well, that’s right. Anyway, thank you for the flowers.”

“Oh, and there was something else to announce… A Grey Informant came here? Well, Huyd should know about it too. Have you heard of it?”

“No. I’m not sure…”

Ekian sighed inwardly. A Grey Informant – there were too many missing words in between.

Even though Huyd had come to the Grey Information Guild, it was entirely because of Judith’s request, and since he didn’t actually make any deals, he seemed to have already forgotten that name.

“Anyway, thank you. I’ll hurry home.”

Huyd bowed his head and took the flowers. His face was full of excitement, which was so disgusting to see.

If his guess was correct, Judith would be pregnant right now, and if he was making that expression while knowing that fact, it would be even more infuriating.

‘Please, please let Teacher Yus not be Judith.’

With that, Huyd got back on his bicycle and started pedaling.

Somehow, Ekian felt the dirty feeling that he was following an unfaithful wife and her lover, like in the flower shop girl’s anecdote.

But the tragic thing was that he had no right to be angry.

He and Judith were currently divorced, and even if Judith was living with Huyd, it wouldn’t be adultery, so he had no justification.

Running down the path, Huyd’s bicycle stopped in front of a small quarters. It was surprisingly very close to the manor.

It was when Ekian hid behind a tree.

【Ah, Huyd. Why are you so late?】

A middle-aged woman opened the door wide and spoke in a foreign language. She was a kind-looking woman with graying hair pinned up.

【Actually, an order came down to submit a list of people living in the quarters. The new Crown Prince must be organizing the estate. Hmm, those flowers?】

“Ah, well… they were so pretty, um. I thought they might be good for prenatal care too, so?”

Ekian narrowed his eyes and tried to look further inside the door.

“Did Huyd come?”

A red-haired woman peeked her head out from inside the house.

“How was class today? Did it go well?”

“Well… some new kids came too.”

Huyd answered as he went inside the house. The door began to close gradually.

Ekian couldn’t stand it anymore.

He suddenly ran out and grabbed the closing door.

Feeling the door burst open again right behind him, Huyd was startled and turned around.

And Judith’s eyes, who had only been peeking her face out from inside the room, widened.

“Uh… Master?”

Judith’s voice was trembling.

“Master… is that right?”

Huyd stepped back, breathing heavily.

Only then did memories scattered like fragments begin to piece together in his head.

Grey something or other, that informant…

The masked suspicious man who appeared in the neighboring market…

But thinking about it carefully, that information guild that Judith had once sent him on an errand to was exactly that Grey something name.

And he now remembered that the Master had worn a mask and made strange voices.

That mysterious man who seemed possessed by some ghost, knowing everything correctly.

“Is, is it really Master?”

Judith asked in a trembling voice.

In fact, since Judith didn’t know his face or name either, she knew that anyone could impersonate him with a mask and robe.

Finally, Ekian opened his mouth with a cracked voice.

“Judith.”

At the real name resonating lowly, Judith’s eyes widened.

But at the same time, she had an expression of ‘I’ve heard this voice somewhere.’

Unlike usual, he wasn’t disguising his voice, so the voice of Ekian Meius that Judith knew from before was coming out.

He took a deep breath and stared intently at Judith from inside the mask.

The slightly loose but modest dress suited her really well, and perhaps because of the bob cut that reached her shoulders, her already youthful face looked even younger.

The round glasses suited her well too, and most of all, her green eyes shining intelligently were exactly the same as before, so regardless of the situation, the urge to embrace her again and kiss her surged violently.

But before that, he had to prove himself.

Conscious of Huyd beside him, he suddenly asked.

“That day, you got pregnant in the annex, right? That’s why you left the Meius Mansion.”

“Ah…”

Judith still had a dazed expression.

After blinking for a moment, she nodded. Before she knew it, tears were slightly welling up in her round eyes.

“Master is… right…”

So flustered was she that she couldn’t even connect her sentences properly.

“The child and… you won’t abandon me…”

There was even emotion mixed in that voice. It felt like she had already prepared herself sufficiently to be abandoned.

However, Judith couldn’t continue speaking anymore.

Because Huyd, who had dropped the bouquet with a thud, suddenly swung his fist at the mask.

“You, you utterly irresponsible bastard!”

It was the most terrible curse that the upright Huyd could manage.

Huyd, angry to the top of his head, turned red-faced and swung his clumsy fist once more.

“Even, even so, you got a woman with a husband pregnant? So you made her have nowhere to go and then disappeared yourself? Huh?”

He didn’t like everything about the man, but Huyd thought that was the biggest wrong.

Making Judith have nowhere to go.

Ultimately making her leave the Meius Mansion and wander alone.

The masked man didn’t resist particularly and just took the punches that Huyd was throwing.

However, he didn’t even stagger, so it was like hitting an old tree.

“How, how, how could you do that to a married woman, and a married woman with circumstances at that!”

“Huyd, stop it. That was consensual. I liked Master, so it happened, and of course I was wrong to have a child with another man while married…”

Meanwhile, Kastin couldn’t understand the Imperial language, so she just looked at them with bewildered eyes.

“Judith is absolutely not someone who would betray the trust of the Meius Marquis Family!”

“Please, please. I’m the one who betrayed it…”

“She’s the woman who told me so many times that she would do her best as an employee…”

While Huyd was fuming, Judith also cried out painfully.

“Ah, I said stop it! I already feel guilty enough!”

Judith looked genuinely embarrassed.

Her face showed that she knew better than anyone that she wasn’t blameless.

The Master, who had been staring intently at that face, sighed.

“I didn’t want to reveal it like this…”

While no one was paying attention to Kastin, the man slowly removed his mask.

“Judith, you did nothing wrong.”

Despite being able to avoid it easily, he hadn’t dodged Huyd’s punches, so his face was turning red.

Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise that Huyd had no talent for physical activities.

As his large hand removed the mask, jet-black hair and handsome features were revealed.
