101.

Edel just blinked with a blank expression even after being hit by the habitual wink beam.

‘Another person who’s immune to my brother’s tricks.’

That’s what Siena thought.

Anyway, with that, Chase completely left the manor.

So only Siena, Soren, and the two unfamiliar guests were left alone in the reception room.

“….”

Silence flowed for a while.

‘What should I do. How should I handle this.’

What else was going to happen in this manor.

Her temples were already throbbing.

‘Don’t throw work at an office worker who just got off duty.’

While her mind was spinning complexly, the silence was broken.

“…Siena.”

Soren instructed with a thoroughly exhausted face.

“Show Edelweiss de Vicelle around the manor.”

Siena unconsciously held her breath.

‘As expected, he was planning to dump those uninvited guests on me.’

She had thought Soren was at least a reasonable person.

‘He was the one trustworthy person in this crappy romance game….’

It seemed she had been mistaken.

‘Why do I have to clean up the mess Chase made…!’

But there was nothing she could do about it.

Soren was the head of the Willow County, and Siena was the youngest sibling living under his care.

“…Yes, brother.”

She reluctantly nodded her head.

She didn’t know if Soren saw her lips pouting out sulkily.

As soon as he heard her answer, he turned around without a moment’s hesitation and headed to his office.

His steps were unusually quick.

‘Usually he gets out of breath walking like that, but when he’s running away he’s incredibly fast.’

Anyway, the ‘demon lord’ had exited.

“Wow! Are we touring the manor now?”

Edel wiggled his bottom while sitting on the sofa.

Next to him, Pitt, whose soul was still half-absent, remained seated.

“Yes. Please come this way.”

Siena swallowed a sigh and led them out of the reception room.

‘Right, it’s something I have to do anyway….’

The best strategy was to finish it quickly.

She passed through the central hall and began showing them the main spaces on the first floor.

Mechanical explanations followed.

“This is the banquet hall, and over there is the dining room. If you go straight down this corridor, you’ll find the stairs.”

It was like when she kept repeating “Oh, really?” in front of Roderick.

Even though she was explaining half-heartedly, Edel kept exclaiming in admiration.

“Wow, yes!”

“You would have seen the garden on your way in….”

“Yes, yes! That’s right! It was beautifully arranged.”

He was like a child visiting a museum full of things he’d never seen before.

Siena’s gaze briefly glanced at Pitt.

‘Roderick managed to find his way to the Empire just fine by himself, but this young master even brought a secretary….’

Actually, it seemed like he couldn’t do without a secretary.

‘Otherwise he probably wouldn’t have even set foot on Imperial Land.’

But… she suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

It was because she was facing the two of them at such close distance.

‘This is really strange.’

She definitely felt like she’d seen them before.

The scene from the ball night unfolded in Siena’s mind once again.

The prince who sat in the nobility seating area and sent strangely intense gazes at her, a stranger.

The man next to him who rolled his eyes and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.

‘Those two resemble this duo following behind me now.’

Their atmosphere, height, and build.

‘…What if these two are those two people?’

Hmm…, of course they wouldn’t be.

‘How could royalty leave the palace.’

Even assuming Lian was the crown prince, it was the same.

‘Edelweiss didn’t even know Lian was injured.’

So the hypothesis of ‘came because he was worried’ was rejected.

‘Then is it ‘came to catch his undignified brother who’s wandering around outside the palace’?’

Hmm, to say that….

Edelweiss’s eyes when he said ‘I miss my brother’ didn’t seem like a lie.

‘What is it, really.’

The more she thought about it, the deeper into the maze she fell.

‘There are already three people who came from the Lehatten Kingdom.’

Could Chase possibly be….

‘A Lehatten magnet?’

Meanwhile, Siena still didn’t even suspect that all of this was happening because of her.

Before she knew it, they had reached the stairs leading to the second floor.

“On the second floor, there are guest bedrooms. You two can use that room at the end….”

Just then, an urgent voice burst out from behind her.

“Um…, um…. Siena…!”

When she turned around, Edel was looking around nervously with a flushed face.

He hesitated and then added.

“Oh, no, I want to become friends with you!”

It was a really out-of-the-blue statement.

‘…Suddenly?’

Siena slowly blinked and asked back.

“…With me?”

“Yes! I’ve always wanted to have conversations…!”

Pitt quickly jabbed Edel’s side with his elbow.

‘It’s coming, I can feel it coming.’

He sensed that one of Happy Cat’s main skills, ‘uncontrollable blabbing ability,’ was about to activate.

Edel made a small ‘ugh’ sound and hastily corrected himself.

“Oh, no…. If, if I talk a lot with you!”

“….”

“I… wouldn’t I be able to learn a lot about the Empire?”

Siena’s eyes naturally narrowed.

‘The Empire…?’

What’s he talking about.

‘I’m not the Karnon Empire’s publicity ambassador.’

Roderick had given her intensive education about the Lehatten Kingdom, and now Edelweiss was asking her to tell him about the Empire.

She didn’t understand why people from the de Vicelle family were so interested in countries.

‘I’m not interested in any of that stuff at all.’

Siena scratched the back of her head and suppressed a sigh as she faced Edel.

‘…Really…’

They were clear.

His transparent eyes that held the color of the sky contained no malice or ulterior motives whatsoever.

They were simply filled with pure curiosity and goodwill.

How could anyone refuse when someone made a request with such eyes?

‘This is crazy, I have a disease where I can’t say no.’

I should probably practice with some special training…

She swallowed a sigh inwardly and nodded her head.

“Y-yes…”

Edel’s face bloomed brightly.

“That’s wonderful!”

Siena avoided his sparkling eyes and scattered an awkward laugh.

“Ahaha…”

A laugh with a steady rhythm like a cafe buzzer leaked out.

‘I just… want to lie down in bed quickly.’

I want to lie down and fall fast asleep.

As the daily promotional ambassador of the Carnon Empire, she asked.

“What are you curious about regarding the Empire?”

“Hmm… Everything!”

Edel exclaimed cheerfully.

Siena was momentarily at a loss for words.

‘Everything.’

Where on earth should she start explaining and how?

Her vision instantly went dark.

This was like the situation of ‘What do you want to eat?’, ‘Anything.’

Perhaps reading Siena’s bleak future, Pitt, who had been watching, quietly chimed in.

“H-how about something like this. How the Empire differs from kingdoms, what great emperors there have been…”

It was an attempt to salvage the situation even a little.

In fact, he was recalling Edel’s history lesson scenes from his memories.

‘I think His Highness the Prince’s history teacher started with things like that.’

The problem was… Siena didn’t have that level of historical knowledge.

‘Damn it, I can’t remember well.’

Though she felt like pulling her hair out, she forced a smile.

“First, the Empire’s history…”

“…”

“It began with the first Emperor, His Majesty Aurelius. He unified the various scattered small kingdoms…”

She began explaining haltingly, as if reading through the first page of a textbook.

Edel listened intently to every word with sparkling eyes.

Encountering such a pure reaction, she felt like she was sinking deeper into a swamp.

‘I desperately want to be alone…’

An introverted human chosen by an extreme extrovert desperately wanted to rest.

***

Inside the rattling carriage.

Chase gazed indifferently at the scenery passing by outside the window.

As night deepened, buildings were turning off their lights one by one and sinking into darkness.

Chase’s glossy face was reflected in the glass window.

Instead of his usual sly smile, only a hardened expressionless face remained.

It was truly a face that others would rarely see.

Suddenly, he muttered.

“…I don’t think I can endure it much longer.”

It had already been three years since Lian, no, Castillian had liked Siena.

A year had also passed since he began learning embarrassing acting from him, saying he would become her ideal type.

And finally, he had a premonition.

‘…The time has come.’

Now it was time to remove the mask and step forward as Castillian la Ideberte Carnon.

‘I can’t just stay still like I have until now.’

To bear fruit, he had to have that level of resolve.
