61.

A little later, in Chase’s Office.

Chase Willow, Roderick de Vicelle.

And Castillian la Ideberte Carnon.

The three men who had ruled Tiarosa Academy were gathered here.

“Our Siena will wait in the reception room for a bit. You and your friends haven’t seen each other in a while, right? I’d like to have some man-to-man conversation among the guys.”

That’s roughly how I explained it to Siena.

She moved to the reception room without a single question.

It seemed she didn’t want to be subjected to Chase’s wink terror.

Anyway, it had already been 10 minutes since the three G4 members gathered in the office.

“Wow, Chase hyung-nim’s office…! It’s so grand and wonderful! What a shame. It would have been great if Rosi hyung-nim was here too!”

And Roderick still hadn’t picked up on the atmosphere even a tiny bit.

While Castillian and Chase were being quite serious.

The reason was simple.

‘Roderick has no idea that Lian borrowed his surname.’

The circumstances of the incident were as follows.

When Castillian was joining the Willow Counseling Center, he needed an alias.

“How should I change my name?”

Disguising as an imperial noble would be impossible.

Siena wasn’t stupid either, and she knew what noble families existed in this land.

So Chase put his mind to work.

“Let’s borrow Roderick’s surname. You’ll be called Lian de Vicelle. From now on, you’re a person from the kingdom.”

The surname ‘de Vicelle’ and the identity of being from Lehatten Kingdom.

Since Siena didn’t know much about the kingdom, she definitely wouldn’t be suspicious.

“Still, shouldn’t I inform Roderick and get permission to use it? At least a letter…”

“Forget it, why make a big deal out of something like this. It’s not like we’re using it for anything bad.”

“…”

“And we probably won’t have much occasion to meet Roderick anymore.”

That’s what I thought at the time.

‘…But who knew Roderick would come to the Empire.’

Chase, who had been recalling past events, opened his mouth.

“First, Rik. How did you get here?”

“I came because I missed you hyung-nims so much!”

“No, how did you get here…”

“I came by ship! I’m a strong man who doesn’t get seasick! Hahaha!”

That’s right.

Roderick was someone who couldn’t understand indirect speech.

Perhaps frustrated, Lian opened his mouth.

“That’s not it, how did you get to the baron’s mansion?”

“Huh…”

Then Roderick opened all the holes in his face wide.

It seemed shocking to him that Lian had spoken to him.

“Hyung-nim…”

Roderick, looking at Lian with moved eyes, began explaining the whole story.

“You see, I~”

He had fled from the Vicelle Marquis mansion because he hated his situation of having to inherit a title soon, boarded a ship bound for the Karnon Empire, and upon arriving at the Empire, met an old man with bleeding ears…

“…I saw Soren hyung-nim coming down the stairs, but suddenly Siena grabbed and dragged me! When I asked where we were going, she said she’d personally take me to Aizet Baron’s mansion.”

“…”

“Siena is really kind and friendly! Hahaha! I guess all Empire women are like this.”

Chase agreed.

“Our Empire women are indeed gentle. And beautiful too.”

“Yes yes! I felt it too. There are really many beautiful people!”

Roderick blinked his eyes.

“Anyway, while I was touring the baron’s mansion like that, I happened to run into Siena and Lian hyung-nim.”

“…”

“What were you doing in the bathroom?”

Lian barely held back a sigh.

He moistened his lips with his tongue and slowly opened his mouth.

“Well…, I was having a conversation with Siena…”

“…”

“…That is…”

The words wouldn’t come out easily.

‘It’s embarrassing to directly say that I like Siena.’

Unable to watch any longer, Chase answered instead.

“Castillian has his heart set on Siena. He’s currently working hard to woo her. It’s been about two months now?”

Castillian nodded his head.

Roderick’s eyes became as big as a bull’s.

“Oh… really.”

“…”

“I’m moved! I didn’t know Lian hyung-nim would answer my words.”

But the answer came out completely off from the main point.

Right now, what was happening between Siena and Lian wasn’t important to Roderick.

‘Castillian hyung-nim is answering well now!’

The delighted Roderick asked a question.

“But Lian hyung-nim, I’ve been curious since earlier. Why did you dye your hair?”

“It’s not dye, it’s a patch.”

Chase tapped behind his ear.

“Huh! Isn’t that something from our kingdom? How did you get it? I heard even mages have trouble obtaining it.”

“I got it through my connections and Lian’s wealth. What couldn’t The Prince obtain?”

Chase shrugged his shoulders.

Roderick asked again.

“But why are you wearing the patch? Lian hyung-nim’s blonde hair is so wonderful there’s no reason to dye it!”

“…”

“And I heard that dye patches can be harmful to health if used by non-mages.”

Even the clueless Roderick knew information about magical tools.

This time too, Chase answered instead.

“Actually… it’s because Lian is living as Lian de Vicelle, not Castillian.”

“Huh?”

Roderick looked back and forth between Chase and Castillian.

“Oh…”

“…”

“When did you change your name? You have the same surname as me!”

He was truly a man without awareness or prejudice.

‘Will this conversation end by today.’

Castillian quietly rubbed his face dry.

Chase shook his head.

“No, Rik. Lian is borrowing your surname.”

“Huh? My surname?”

“Well, we never asked for your permission though.”

“Ah…”

“To put it simply, Castillian doesn’t want to reveal to Siena that he’s the Prince. So he’s staying by Siena’s side under the name Lian de Vicelle, hiding his identity and appearance.”

“….”

“Later, if he confirms his feelings with Siena… then he’ll reveal it, I suppose.”

Chase’s gaze met with Castillian’s.

Castillian didn’t make a sound.

“…Huh?”

Just then, Roderick tilted his head.

“But you know, before I came here, I saw some man.”

“….”

“I thought Siena was meeting with that person.”

Chase and Castillian’s eyes widened.

“What are you talking about?”

“When I met Siena at Willow Manor, a man came out from inside the manor.”

“….”

“What was his name? I can’t really remember his name, but he had silver hair. His eyes were blue.”

“….”

“Siena introduced that man and me to each other. But then, that man was glaring at me!”

Roderick frowned and slapped his thigh repeatedly.

“It was truly a wary look!”

Castillian and Chase immediately guessed who ‘that man’ was.

‘Johan Beloster.’

Castillian’s eyes instantly turned cold.

‘Why did he go to Willow Manor?’

Even though I warned him….

“Neither I nor the Marquis have succeeded so far, but you never know what might happen in the future.”

“…?”

“I trust that Marquis Beloster will do well.”

In fact, that day’s warning had been a bit premature.

Castillian also knew at the time that Johan liked Violet, not Siena.

But he thought Johan would soon develop feelings for Siena.

‘With Siena putting in so much care and effort.’

How could anyone see that and not fall for her?

However… Castillian’s early prediction had proven correct.

Chase said to Roderick.

“That must have been Marquis Johan Beloster. He’s currently commissioned work from Siena, so it seems he went there for that….”

“Ah, Siena did mention discussing work.”

Roderick touched the back of his neck.

“But from what I could see, that man seemed to have feelings for Siena? Otherwise, why would he glare at me!”

“….”

“I thought all people in the Empire were kind, but that man was the exception!”

Roderick snorted indignantly.

Chase crossed his legs and wiggled his foot.

“No, Marquis Beloster and Siena aren’t that close. The Marquis likes another woman.”

“But I have something I’m curious about.”

Just then, Roderick raised his hand high.

“Why do you like Siena, Brother Lian?”

It was an unexpected change of topic.

Chase thought this wasn’t bad and added.

“I’m curious about that too. You’ve never told us before, Lian.”

All he knew was that Castillian had liked Siena for three years, but he knew nothing else.

Castillian, who had been taking his time, slowly opened his mouth.

“…Should I tell you?”

Chase and Roderick nodded.

Castillian lowered his gaze and thought.

Three years ago, the young girl who had flung open the door of his carriage.
