100.

What had happened was…

“Don’t be like that, brother. Let’s talk in the study.”

In fact, Chase hadn’t ‘just’ dragged Soren to the study.

It was to confess the truth there.

“…What?”

“Do I need to explain it again?”

Chase tilted his head.

For someone who had just dropped the bombshell statement ‘The person I brought is His Highness the Second Prince Edel,’ he was remarkably composed.

Soren, who had been staring at him blankly, shook his head.

“It’s not that I didn’t understand. I just can’t comprehend it.”

“…”

“I have more than one or two questions. Why is His Highness the Second Prince wandering around outside the palace without even a single guard…?”

Soren pointed at Chase with his index finger.

“And why were you accompanying His Highness? Doesn’t that make no sense?”

The questions were very realistic and cold.

However, there was a problem.

“Hmm… Who knows?”

Chase was the type to let whatever the other person said go in one ear and out the other.

“…Chase.”

“I think His Highness is someone who knows how to prepare for the future.”

“What?”

He lazily twitched his eyebrows and spouted more incomprehensible words.

Soren absolutely despised Chase’s usual way of speaking.

‘That guy always just rambles on vaguely as much as he wants to, doing whatever he pleases.’

This time was no different.

Soren gritted his teeth.

“Confess properly. You said you’d explain but didn’t mention the important reason. Tell me straight why His Highness came here.”

“I told you my house doesn’t have any spare rooms?”

“What kind of ridiculous…”

…Unfortunately, the conversation couldn’t reach a satisfying conclusion.

However, there was one thing for certain.

Soren could no longer say ‘get out.’

‘How could I dare to drive out His Highness the Prince?’

If he did such a thing, the entire Willow Family could be destroyed.

Thus, Soren’s headache became even worse.

‘Why on earth is His Highness the Prince at our house…’

Come to think of it, lately everything had been strange.

“Screech?”

Last time, some black hawk came barging in.

“Kyahahat!”

Suddenly, some strange redhead from the Lehatten Kingdom came visiting.

‘Now even His Highness the Prince…’

This manor wasn’t some meeting plaza.

Everything was because of Siena…

No, it was because of Crown Prince Castillian.

But there was no way Soren could know this fact.

He silently let out a sigh and opened his mouth.

“…Your Highness, this way please.”

Unlike before, he had shed a layer of his stiff tone.

“I’ll guide you to the reception room. It would be better if you waited while having some tea…”

He tried his best to speak as politely as possible.

‘…Is this right?’

It had been so long since he’d conversed with a stranger that he was confused.

Whether Edel knew of Soren’s efforts or not.

He just smiled brightly and agreed.

“Yes! That sounds good!”

He excitedly approached Soren’s side.

Soren unconsciously shrank back.

‘Too close. Too close…!’

It had been so long since someone who wasn’t blood-related had stayed at such close proximity.

Edel spoke without noticing Soren’s tension.

“But, Count.”

“…Yes.”

“You look just like that really big portrait over there! You both look like demon lords…”

“Young Master…!”

The path to the reception room was quite treacherous.

***

When she returned home after work, Siena detected a suspicious atmosphere emanating from the entrance.

The manor, which should normally be quiet, was somehow noisy.

The servants were restless and reading the mood.

‘…Something’s not right.’

She didn’t know what was happening, but yes.

Soon enough, she was able to discover them huddled together in the reception room.

The immature Young Master Edel(weiss) and Pitt, who seemed to be sitting on pins and needles.

It was that very precious combo that had turned the Center upside down during the day.

On the opposite side, Chase was leisurely drinking tea with his legs crossed.

“What is this…”

She was speechless at the bizarre scene.

No, to be precise, she was dumbfounded.

Siena immediately questioned Chase.

“No… brother. What’s going on here?”

“What do you mean what? They’re people. Our Siena, have you been wrestling with tiny letters every day that your eyesight has deteriorated?”

He winked one eye as he responded.

Though it wasn’t a normal answer.

“What… Why are these people here?”

“Because they’re guests.”

“What?”

It was truly an absurd situation.

‘What is he really talking about?’

Did he down ten bottles of whiskey in broad daylight?

“No, brother. You kept Roderick at his own house, so why did you bring Rik and his family member Edelweiss here?”

Siena’s sharp criticism rang out.

‘Let’s see you make an excuse for this too.’

But it seemed this time too failed to pierce Chase.

“Ah.”

He replied as he set down his teacup.

“Because our house doesn’t have any rooms.”

“Hah…”

She let out a hollow laugh as soon as she heard it.

‘Is that supposed to be a real suggestion?’

Indeed, Aizet Baron’s mansion was excessively large for Chase to live in alone.

So naturally, there were always spare rooms available.

‘There are enough rooms to give each mouse living in the mansion its own room and still have some left over.’

Then, a question suddenly arose.

Chase’s group had left the Center quite some time ago.

“I’ll safely escort this brother who came from far away to his older brother and return.”

If that was the case, they should have arrived at Willow Manor quite a while ago.

‘Why hasn’t Soren sent them back yet…’

Siena’s gaze immediately turned toward Soren.

Then she flinched.

“…”

His face was… ashen.

As if he had lost his country overnight.

‘Ah…’

Only then did she understand the entire situation at once.

Before she arrived, the family head Soren had already been defeated by Chase.

‘Soren couldn’t beat Chase.’

Instead…, he had decided.

Soren’s thoughts were easily readable.

【Plan A, ‘Kick out Chase and the uninvited guests’】: Failed

→ 【Plan B, ‘Pass responsibility to Siena Willow’】: Initiated

He had decided to dump all responsibility for those people onto me…!

It was obvious without even asking.

‘As soon as Chase leaves, Soren will go into his office and won’t show his face at all.’

Damn it!

Surely Chase could see Siena’s sour expression too.

However, he simply shrugged his shoulders.

Then he stood up and straightened his appearance.

“I should get going now.”

It was shamelessness that left her speechless.

Siena glared at him with wide eyes.

“Brother, where do you think you’re going?”

“I have to go home.”

“Who doesn’t know that? Why do you think I’m asking?”

“Wasn’t it because you didn’t know? Good thing you do know.”

Chase adjusted his shirt collar and glanced back at Siena.

‘Ugh, seriously.’

How could she not be allowed to hit him just once?

Siena clenched her fists and ground out her words.

“Don’t dodge the question. And don’t try to sneak away when you have nothing to do, just answer my question properly…”

“Why would I have nothing to do?”

Chase’s long eyes curved wickedly.

“There’s a ‘patient’ at our house who needs absolute rest.”

“…!”

“I have to go nurse him, don’t I?”

Siena frowned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses.

‘…Right, Lian.’

She thought of him lying in bed, groaning from his injuries.

‘Leaving Edelweiss and the secretary here…, it makes sense when you think about it.’

While Lian needed to rest, having that distractible young master nearby would only be a hindrance.

‘He’d get sick again even while recovering.’

Therefore, she had to acknowledge it.

‘This ridiculous situation was actually for Lian’s sake.’

Damn it all.

“…”

Once she reached that conclusion internally, she could no longer argue back.

For the sake of the man she loved, she found herself accepting even unreasonable situations.

‘My feelings are all…, all to blame.’

Chase, who had been observing Siena’s sullen expression, gave a leisurely smile.

He approached Edel and bent down to whisper.

“Your Highness, you should be able to meet Castillian around tomorrow.”

It was a voice quiet enough that others couldn’t hear.

Edel’s eyes widened as he asked back.

“Tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

Chase’s lips curved slyly.

At the same time, his left eye gently closed.

“He’ll definitely come.”
