65.

Back to the present.

“…That’s how it happened.”

Castillian spent a full 30 minutes confessing his past to Chase and Roderick.

Of course, he left out the parts about Sepia.

When the story ended, Chase let out a long breath.

“So that’s why… The reason you insist on hiding your identity from Siena.”

Castillian nodded.

“…Siena doesn’t seem to remember that incident at all.”

Chase snorted.

“Of course she wouldn’t. First of all, your name is different, and those appearance-altering glasses…”

He stopped mid-sentence.

Then Roderick continued.

“It’s serious.”

“It is serious.”

“The current Lian and the glasses-wearing Lian are seriously different. I still can’t forget the expression Rosi made when he first saw glasses-wearing Lian!”

“Thanks to those glasses, I learned that the kingdom’s magical tools are truly amazing things.”

Chase and Roderick sighed simultaneously.

‘If they met while he was wearing those glasses, it’s normal that Siena wouldn’t recognize him.’

If she had recognized Lian, wouldn’t that be a miracle worth recording in history?

Roderick, who had puffed out his cheeks, let out his breath.

“But it’s surprising that Lian fell for a woman who laughed like a crow.”

Chase ran his hand through his hair with a relaxed gesture.

“Now that I think about it, that’s true. When Siena was young, she was much brighter than now. I can understand what you mean by laughing like a crow.”

“…”

“I think she’s become calmer than before since working at the Center. The work is so busy, after all.”

Even while saying this, he showed no intention whatsoever of coming to the Center to help with work.

If Siena had seen this, she probably would have grabbed the back of her neck and collapsed.

Roderick’s eyes lit up.

“I want to have a fateful encounter like Lian too!”

“…”

“And if possible, I’d like a woman who laughs like a sparrow! That would be cuter. Hahaha!”

Castillian stared at Roderick quietly.

‘It wasn’t because she was like a crow that I liked her.’

It was just… because it was Siena that everything was good.

Of course, he couldn’t voice these inner thoughts.

Only his earlobes quietly turned red.

Just then, a knocking sound came from outside.

Knock knock.

The door opened, and Siena peeked her head in.

“Are you still not finished talking?”

Roderick, who spotted Siena, immediately burst into laughter.

“Oh…! Chaha, chahahaha!”

He had burst into laughter at the appearance of the ‘crow woman.’

However, Siena had no idea.

‘Why is that guy suddenly laughing at me out of nowhere…?’

Do I look funny?

Anyway, from our first meeting until now, Roderick was truly a peculiar person.

Chase smiled with his eyes.

“Yeah, we finished talking.”

“…”

“But Siena, why don’t you laugh like a crow these days?”

He made a strange expression and rested his chin on his hand.

Siena tilted her head.

‘Crow…?’

Suddenly talking about crows out of nowhere.

“What are you talking about?”

“Nothing.”

Chase shook his head while grinning silently.

‘What the…’

Siena, who had been looking at her brother, turned her gaze to Lian.

Then Lian hurriedly turned his eyes elsewhere.

His Adam’s apple moved greatly.

‘…Why is he avoiding my eyes?’

No, why are they all acting like that?

‘As soon as I came in, one guy started laughing cheerfully, one guy talked about crows.’

And the other one won’t even make eye contact…

Eventually, Siena realized.

‘Men’s conversations must be strange.’

Good thing I didn’t join in.

Today too, she was oblivious.

* * *

Anyway, I completed the mission of safely delivering Roderick to Aizet Baron’s Mansion.

As I was about to return home, Roderick greeted me.

“Siena, let’s meet again soon! I’m very curious about Willow Manor too!”

But I was firmly opposed.

“No…! Stay here.”

“Why?”

“Willow Manor isn’t fun at all. Aizet Baron’s Mansion will be muuuuch more interesting.”

“Huh? I couldn’t enter Willow Manor, but it looked plenty fun!”

“Not at all. You’re mistaken. And our house is dirty because we haven’t cleaned it, and the rooms are incredibly cramped. It’s not a place for guests to stay.”

“Huuuh? That’s not true! The Willow Manor I saw earlier was very clean!”

“You saw wrong.”

“No! I have good eyesight!”

“I recommend you get it checked again.”

I blocked him with lies that didn’t even make sense.

‘Roderick, if you come to our house, the family will collapse that very day.’

Soren would definitely die of stress.

‘Just stay quietly at Chase’s house, please…’

Then I returned home.

‘It feels a bit unsettling.’

Because I couldn’t figure out the truth behind the blonde woman in the bathroom incident.

I was curious, but it felt rude to directly ask Chase about women.

‘Anyway, that’s my brother’s private life, so I can’t say anything about it.’

Whatever it was, I had successfully delivered that distractible Roderick to his destination, so it was a success.

After washing up and lying in bed, I naturally sighed.

“Haah…”

Lian’s face appeared hazily on the ceiling where the chandelier hung.

The way he avoided my eyes as soon as he saw me in Chase’s office.

“…No, why was that guy acting like that?”

She had been so bold in the bathroom.

‘But in Chase’s Office, she avoided my eyes and acted distant.’

Lian’s strange behavior continued until I returned home.

Even while escorting me to the carriage, he acted stiffly.

Looking back on it, I felt sulky.

“How annoying…”

Acting hot and cold all by himself.

Why is he being like that?

‘I don’t know anything about what’s going on.’

Lian was being so moody that I felt like I was being tossed around following his lead.

“I really don’t like it. And then when I go to work, he’ll act like nothing happened and sit on the sofa chattering away.”

I grumbled and rolled over to my side.

The desk came into view.

As soon as I saw it, I bolted upright.

“…That’s right.”

I finally remembered the letter I had received that morning.

‘Because the maid came in, I had stopped opening Johan’s letter halfway through.’

And… beneath Johan’s letter, there was still a letter whose sender I hadn’t even checked yet.

“I completely forgot about it.”

This was all Roderick’s fault.

‘That hyperactive elementary schooler barged in out of nowhere and caused this mess.’

What kind of romance novel has such a precious brat in it?

I approached the desk and picked up the mysterious letter.

“…Huh?”

Honestly, for a moment I thought I had seen it wrong.

The sender’s name was that absurd.

[Sender: Violet Bringer]

I stared blankly at the letter, then furrowed my brow.

“…Violet?”

Violet Bringer had suddenly contacted me.

Is this for real?

‘But… why?’

Why did she send me a letter?

Realistically speaking, the fact that ‘Violet Bringer’ had something to say to me and wrote a letter was strange in itself.

She and I don’t know each other.

‘I know Violet well because of Johan’s request, but Violet doesn’t know me.’

And yet she sent a letter?

Various thoughts began swirling in my head.

A little later, I carefully opened the envelope.

* * *

–

Hello, Lady Siena Willow.

This is Violet Bringer.

I’m not sure if you know who I am.

I have always wanted to have a conversation with Lady Willow.

However, I never had the courage to approach you, so I’ve always just kept these feelings to myself.

But this time, I’m taking the liberty of sending you this letter.

Would it be possible to meet with you privately at the Tea Salon?

There’s something I urgently want to discuss with Lady Willow.

My heart is pounding because I don’t know what kind of reply you’ll give me.

I hope I can receive a positive response.

It’s gotten quite hot lately.

Please take good care of your health.

– Violet Bringer.
