I ca to the library to refresh myself, but it was useless.
My stomach still felt uncomfortable, and I didnt feel good. I tried to focus on the docunt, but I couldn't.
By the end of my lunch break, all I did was waste ink and paper needlessly.
I looked at the ssy writing on the white paper.
[What's going on?]
[What is the schedule that only I dont know?]
[Why can't he just tell ?]
I inadvertently wrote down my true feelings.
An aide didn't necessarily have to know all their boss's schedules. They might not know the schedule for various reasons, such as because it was a personal schedule. So, there was no need to feel alienated or upset just because I didn't know Kalian's schedule.
There was no reason for that.
Its for certain, but why am I so depressed?
Huu.
With a long sigh, I crumpled the paper and threw it into the trash can.
Lunchti was over, so it was ti to return to the office. I grabbed the docunts and left the library.
It was when I was walking down the road between the library and the inner palace to return to the office.
"Oh?"
I saw Kalian and Duke Giltian talking while walking on the other side.
He said he had a lunch schedule, so was it with Duke Giltian?
No. If that's the case, there's no reason for him not to be able to tell .
Perhaps they t by chance while walking down the road like .
Leila.
Kalian also found and approached joyfully. Duke Giltian followed him from behind.
Leila Aster, I see you two.
If Kalian had been alone, I would have lightly greeted him, but there was also Duke Giltian, so I bowed politely.
Are you on your way back from the library?
Kalian asked, looking at the docunts I was holding.
"Yes."
What about lunch?
If I said I didn't eat because my stomach felt uncomfortable, he would be worried and nag at .
"I already ate."
So even though I didnt want to lie, I still lied, but Kalian smiled.
You didnt eat, huh?
He sounded certain, without a doubt.
How did he know?
As I looked at him in surprise, Kalian pointed to the tail of my left eye.
It shakes a little there when you lie.
Is that so? Its my first ti knowing about it.
I smiled awkwardly and touched the area he pointed out.
Why didnt you have lunch?
my stomach felt uncomfortable.
It's no use lying again, so I answered honestly,
Unsurprisingly, Kalian looked at with a worried face. This was why I didn't want to be honest.
I should be uncomfortable with the fact that I made Kalian worry about again, but strangely, my disappointnt was relieved.
Why am I like this?
Questioning the mysterious change in my heart, I put my hands together.
Is it very bad? What about dicine?
"It's okay. After getting so fresh air, I feel a lot better.
"Getting fresh air? Looks like you've been looking at the docunts in the library all lunch break."
I shut my mouth at the sharp remark.
Have you taken dicine?
"Not yet
You said your stomach felt uncomfortable, and yet you havent taken dicine?
Kalian let out a deep sigh.
I lowered my head as I couldnt look directly at him out of regret.
If Duke Giltian hadnt co suddenly, I would have paid more attention. I guess that's how I beca a bad boss."
Are you blaming this old man for your aides sickness now?
Duke Giltian responded as if it was ridiculous.
Thats what you say.
Kalian smiled and responded.
From what I heard, it seed right that Duke Giltian was Kalians lunch partner. But why couldn't Baron Delrond tell ?
Looking at Kalian's behavior, there didn't seem to be any reason to keep it a secret. So why?
I felt a little bad again.
Take good care of yourself. Unless you want to make worry.
I will keep that in mind.
I hope you really keep that in mind.
Kalian tapped my shoulder and passed.
Duke Giltian looked at with subtle eyes and followed Kalian.
I also returned to the office.
When I arrived at the office, baron Delrond hadnt returned yet, so his seat was empty. He then returned a few minutes later.
Eat this.
Baron Delrond put a sandwich plate down on my desk.
Between rye bread, there was lettuce, sliced ham, tomato, etc.
It wasn't flashy, but it was a good composition. There was also orange juice to keep from getting thirsty.
Seeing the sandwich made hungry. My stomach seed to growl.
Im just saying this just in case. If you feel like you cant eat because your stomach is uncomfortable, you dont have to eat it.
"No. It's okay now."
It wasn't empty words. It was the truth.
Before, I didn't want to eat anything because my stomach was uncomfortable, but it was a little more comfortable now.
It seed that the effect of getting so fresh air had now appeared.
Thank you for the food. Thank you for your concern, Baron Delrond.
Of course. If the Baron collapses, it will be difficult for .
Baron Delrond smiled and said jokingly.
"Yes. I will take good care of myself from now on.
I answered with a smile too.
Because I was hungry and the sandwich was quite tasty, I quickly finished it.
As soon as the juice was also emptied, knocks were heard.
It was the maid of the Imperial Palace.
Baron Delrond asked on behalf of , who was drinking juice.
Whats the matter?
It is from His Majesty.
The maid held out the tray she was carrying toward .
On the tray was the sa sandwich I had just eaten. Even the orange juice was the sa. If there was anything else, there was liquid dicine there.
He told you to take your dicine first, and then eat the sandwich when you feel better. He also added that if your stomach still feels uncomfortable even after taking dicine, you should visit the palace doctor.
Which boss would care for his aide this much when they said they were not feeling well?
If it was anyone else, I would have suspected that he had bad intentions, but not Kalian. Because he was originally a kind and nice person.
He was a kind man who was nice to Baron Delrond and to also, so there was no need to doubt him.
Even as I was thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart. His friendly eyes and warm words felt like rain on the dry wasteland.
The maid left, and Baron Delrond asked anxiously.
Can you eat it all?
Um, its too much now.
I wanted to eat it, but I was too full to eat it. I couldn't throw it away either.
Then should I eat it?
Didnt you already have lunch?
I ate, but I can eat this much more easily.
Then there was no reason to say no, but sohow I was reluctant. It felt uncomfortable to give others the food that Kalian had prepared.
"No. I'll leave it and eat it later when I'm hungry."
Yeah, considering Kalian's sincerity, I should eat it.
Baron Delrond looked at strangely, then nodded.
Hmm, okay. And, ah right, do you rember that we're going to the temple tomorrow?
"Of course. 10 a.m. as scheduled, right?
"You're right."
I was talking with Baron Delrond about the eting tomorrow when I heard another knock.
Baron Delrond.
It was the official of the Marshal Departnt.
The official, who ca in calling Baron Delrond, stopped when he saw .
Baron Aster was also here.
"Whats the matter?"
Baron Delrond, who noticed the unusual air from the official's face, got up and asked.
I also watched the official.
This
The official looked at and handed the docunt he had brought to Baron Delrond.
What on earth is this!
Baron Delrond's eyes widened as he checked the docunt.
Whats the matter, Baron Delrond?
"Baron?"
No matter how many tis I called Baron Delrond, there was no answer.
Why on earth is he like that?
Curious, I approached him.
!
As soon as I stood in front of his desk, Baron Delrond, who ca to his senses, was startled and hid the docunt behind his back.
Wha, whats the matter, Baron Aster
Thats what I want to ask. What are you so surprised about?
"It's nothing."
It's nothing? His eyes are still shaking though.
Is it sothing I shouldnt know?
N, no. I hope you don't know, but it's sothing you should know
Baron Delrond muttered and ruffled his head with one hand.
The more Baron Delrond was like this, the more I wondered.
I looked back at the Marshal Departnt official who brought the docunt.
Ehem. Then I will get going.
The official, who made eye contact with , coughed needlessly and went outside as if running away.
Judging from the reactions of Baron Delrond and the official, I think it has sothing to do with .
What is happening that the Marshal Departnt with Ah, Dont tell
Has Duke Williot returned?
Philen was on a long vacation as a reward for fighting in the long war.
If I rember correctly, he still has about a month left. Has he already returned? Is that why everyone is reacting like this?
Obviously, if Philen returned to the Marshal Departnt, it would be difficult.
Luckily, Baron Delrond was in charge of going out to the outer palace, so I wouldn't have to bump into Philen directly in the palace, but still
Duke Williot has not returned.
Baron Delrond spoke after a long silence.
"Then?"
Lets go to His Majesty first.
Baron Delrond's expression darkened. I quietly followed Baron Delrond.
Kalian was talking to another official in the office.
I would like to speak to you for a mont.
Noticing Baron Delrond's serious expression, Kalian beckoned the official he was talking with to leave for a mont.
Whats the matter?
This.
Baron Delrond handed the docunt he received earlier to Kalian.
His face, which was reading the docunt indifferently, beca hardened.
Why on earth is everyone like that?
It didnt feel good that I was the only one who didnt know when everyone knew it.
"What's going on, Your Majesty?"
I asked Kalian because it ant he would let know if he brought here.
Unlike Baron Delrond, who couldnt speak easily and hesitated, Kalian answered with a long sigh.
"Cecily Heliode, it is said that she killed Baron Shuran, the escort captain, on her way to the mine and then fell down a cliff while escaping."
