“…As a favor, could you let me know in advance?”

“Nah. What for? You’ll hear it directly that day. It’ll be quite entertaining.”

Behind the mask, Ekian’s face slightly contorted. It was a story related to him, yet he couldn’t reveal that he was the person involved.

He even became quite anxious. Well, it probably wasn’t connected to something he couldn’t remember. It probably wasn’t a story that would cause some misunderstanding.

“Come to think of it, I’ve never heard about your childhood.”

“Well. I don’t really have any memorable moments either. I was just an unremarkable noble young lady.”

She said with a shrug of her shoulders.

“Oh, according to my mother, I was at least smart. She said the tutors praised me a lot. Whether that was sincere or just something she said to make me sit quietly through lessons, I’ll probably never know.”

Ekian immediately caught the awkward sadness hidden in those calm words. He asked slowly.

“Do you want to know about your mother?”

“No. After all… she’s someone who abandoned me.”

“Couldn’t you at least go and resent her? Don’t you want to see her even a little?”

At those words, Judith slightly furrowed her brow. But after quickly managing her expression, she asked cheerfully.

“If I commission Master, would you find her?”

“I am the head of the Information Guild, after all. Since you’re a regular customer, I’ll look into it for you without a commission fee.”

“Oh my, what an honor. I’ll let you know when I’m mentally prepared.”

Judith, who had cheerfully said ‘I’m not mentally prepared yet,’ changed the topic.

“I heard that Young Duke Ekian has been summoned by the Crown Prince and won’t be coming to the Duke’s Mansion for a while.”

And she stood up while speaking gently.

“If you have anything else to discuss, feel free to come anytime.”

Ekian froze for a moment.

“Ah, not anytime, but at the right timing. You can manage that, can’t you, Master?”

Huh? She’s getting up like this?

Is this a dismissal?

Ekian was momentarily dazed.

He had definitely intended to pretend not to know first, but when Judith so naturally joined in pretending not to know, he felt strangely odd.

Or not?

Does she really not remember? Was she too drunk and really doesn’t remember anything at all? Like he had hoped for earlier?

Ekian began to feel confused looking at Judith’s calm expression.

‘…Did I want that?’

He definitely had. Really, just earlier when he first saw Judith’s face, he had thought exactly that.

Thinking that only he had memories of that day made him strangely disappointed.

“Well… Ahem, don’t you have anything more to say?”

Though it seemed somewhat pathetic, he slowly stood up and tried to probe, but Judith smiled brightly and shook her head.

“Not particularly?”

“Ah….”

“Then take care, Master.”

Judith waved her hand cheerfully.
