So far, I have not been able to find anything special about Theresa.
The sa goes for the investigation of the Violet family.
It is true that Theresa Violet was briefly away from her position, but whether she had contact with soone still requires further investigation-
“Phew.”
Supporting himself with one hand he slowly lowered himself to the ground.
His sweat flowed down and drenched his body while dripping down.
The muscles supporting his body weight swelled, and rising from the ground like that he completed one repetition.
It had already been three days since the bandages were removed.
His body’s balance and stamina had roughly returned, and now he could do this exercise without difficulty.
The letter he had read was what Renold had sent yesterday.
Although he hadn’t read it and just kept it in his mind, he thought he should think about Theresa’s absence in various ways.
If it was Theresa who had inford Temuzin of Miragen’s location… he had no intention of letting her go cleanly like before.
It could be said that it was his own way of consideration to end his relationship with Theresa, not the Violet family.
He didn’t think much of the Violet family, and didn’t he think Theresa alone could ruin them splendidly?
However, this matter was different.
Not only could she not avoid responsibility for touching the princess, but it also stirred up his personal feelings.
His mind beca cold every ti his arms bent.
There wasn’t much ti left for him to stay in the North.
There were things he had to tell Adele during that ti.
The rebellion, a ti when her life would be in danger was gradually approaching, and only he knew that.
Around the ti the sweat falling towards the floor increased, his thoughts were dispersed by a voice that suddenly ca from beside him.
“Wow…”
However, Miragen’s gaze blankly staring at him was quite burdenso.
When he told her not to mind and kept going, didn’t she keep staring at him?
He couldn’t ignore it like this.
He knew she would probably return to the imperial palace soon.
How long was she planning to stay in the North?
When he relaxed his posture and ca down, Miragen approached and held out a towel to him.
He wiped away his sweat and brushed back his hair.
While wiping his body, he thought, was it really okay for Miragen to be here?
I’m not wearing anything on top.
Doesn’t she mind at all?
“You must exercise like that regularly. Seeing how familiar your movents are.”
“My stamina hasn’t fully returned yet. I’ll have to see when I wield a sword.”
“So this was you when not fully recovered.”
Miragen, who nodded her head with a rather serious expression, then seed to rember sothing and lightly clapped her palms together.
“Co to think of it, the Grand Duchess called for you. I ca to tell you that, but I forgot for a mont.”
“… You’re telling that so quickly.”
It had been 30 minutes since she ca to find .
If Adele got angry, it wouldn’t be strange for her to co right away.
What was she thinking, telling that now?
If Adele got angry, she would take it out on .
When I stared at Miragen, she smiled awkwardly and muttered as if making an excuse.
“I forgot because the first thing I saw when I ca in was this. Shouldn’t you go now, even if it’s late?”
“No, I don’t think that will be necessary. She’ll probably co here anyway.”
Bang-
As soon as he said that, the door opened.
It was only for a mont that his eyes t Adele’s, who was staring at him and Miragen with an ominous expression.
Adele’s eyes narrowed when she saw not wearing anything.
After a brief silence of mutual embarrassnt, a blunt voice followed, as if displeased.
“I called for you a while ago, but you still haven’t co. I wondered what was going on, but it seems you were having fun.”
“I just heard about it. Her Highness had montarily forgotten.”
“… Is that so?”
When Adele’s gaze turned to her, Miragen, who had flinched for a mont, nodded her head with difficulty.
Adele let out a deep sigh and pressed her forehead.
If there was one thing Adele had overlooked, it was Miragen’s mory.
Since she tended to forget various things unexpectedly, it was better to write them down for her.
“It’s my fault. I asked Her Highness the Princess to do it when she said she was leaving, but I should have gone myself.”
“So, sorry?”
“Then can you please step away from Robert now? If you stick so close to a man who isn’t even properly dressed, it might cause a scandal.”
When Miragen distanced herself at those words, Adele, who had walked over with big strides, grabbed my wrist and pulled .
I was still not wearing anything, but Adele draped the cloak she was wearing over my body and tried to head outside like that.
It was then that Miragen, who had been hesitating, opened her mouth.
“Wa, wait a mont. Shouldn’t the Grand Duchess be careful too?”
I thought it wasn’t wrong.
When I looked at her with an expression asking if it wasn’t right since she was also a Grand Duchess, she smiled slightly and tapped the dal on her chest.
“This is the North. Your Highness, isn’t the Grand Duchess who rules here ?”
“That’s right…?”
“I’m fine even like this.”
If false rumors spread, I can just find the person who started them.
Adele, who added that, headed forward again.
She grabbed my wrist, in an attitude of not accepting any more objections.
When Miragen couldn’t say anything, Adele proceeded without hesitation.
Wasn’t she going to ask for my opinion in the anti?
Sighing and removing my wrist, Adele, who had been walking, turned her head towards .
It was the middle of the corridor, and our distance from Miragen had already widened considerably.
“What is it?”
“I need to get dressed too, don’t I? Besides, I haven’t washed up, so I sll.”
“Ah…”
It was such an obvious fact, but Adele seed to have just rembered it and bit her lips slightly.
It was a habit she showed when she was flustered.
What was she so distracted by that she forgot I hadn’t washed up?
Adele, who felt my gaze, let out a small fake cough.
Perhaps she was embarrassed even thinking about it herself, and a small voice was heard from her moving lips.
“Then wash up and co. I have sothing to tell you.”
“Are you uncomfortable with being with Her Highness the Princess?”
It seed that what Adele was concerned about was probably in that direction.
When she looked displeased whenever I was with Miragen, I deliberately asked her directly, and Adele’s brow furrowed.
Even with a mont of silence, I kept looking at her without caring. Waiting for an answer like that for a long ti.
When a little more ti passed, Adele shook her head and answered.
“… I’m not uncomfortable.”
“Then-”
“I’m just irritated.”
Adele, with a rather complicated expression, sighed.
It was a heavy and thick sigh unlike her usual self, so I just waited for what she would say next without answering.
Her answer that she was irritated was quite strange.
It didn’t sound like it was simply about being with Miragen, but rather like irritation towards herself.
“I’ll take the rest of your questions when you co back. I’ll go ahead first.”
As if she didn’t want to say any more, Adele turned her back and moved her feet.
However, those steps were not as light as before.
Although I didn’t know if it was concern about sothing, it was probably certain that she had sothing on her mind.
And I wasn’t stupid enough not to know that her concern was about .
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
This wasn’t the first ti Adele and I t.
To be precise, we had t in the previous rounds.
It wasn’t like this ti when I ca with the na of the Taylor’s behind , but perhaps the process of our eting was similar.
Coming to the North, eting Adele, becoming her deputy, and subjugating the tribes.
After that, I was with her until Adele died, so in a way, it could be said to be a little deeper than our current relationship.
Adele Igrit was a free woman.
She always moved as her heart desired and moved only towards where her will aligned, like the wind.
Perhaps the reason I particularly liked the North was because of that.
Adele’s North was special, so being here, I could enjoy a special freedom away from my family.
Even if I made a mistake, they would laugh it off, and we would consider and respect each other.
Those who rembered as Robert, not as a Taylor.
That’s why Adele was special to , despite our few encounters.
She made forget the na Taylor and was the first person to consider simply as Robert.
If Miragen’s death was my first regret, Adele beca my second.
“Rebellion.”
The fate that bound , it wasn’t limited to just .
It wasn’t only who died from the rebellion.
An unnad representative also died from the rebellion, and Adele also died from the rebellion.
I already knew well that she had no interest in rebellion.
Adele’s territory was the North, wasn’t this snowy field the only land she cherished?
Even if she was told to beco the emperess in the capital, she would remain here.
That was Adele, and that was the aning of the na Igrit.
Igrit, the na of the highest mountain range in the North and the god called the guardian deity of the North.
How could such a woman think of rebellion?
I, who had watched over her for a long ti, could deny it.
However, I couldn’t do it.
I put on a shirt and draped Adele’s cloak over it.
It always felt like her warmth was seeping into as she wore it.
It was a warmth that didn’t suit this cold snowy field.
Closing my eyes for a mont, I then opened them and moved my feet.
The main purpose of my trip to the North was to solidify my support base and warn Adele about the Crown Prince.
I had achieved the first to so extent through the subjugation of the tribes, but I hadn’t warned her about the Crown Prince.
I needed to carefully consider the timing to bring up such a topic.
I thought I might be able to tell her just before leaving, but whether she would believe was also unknown.
Knock knock-
“Co in.”
When I cautiously knocked on the door, I heard Adele’s voice.
Unlike her low voice from earlier, it was the sa as usual, so I could enter with a little relief.
Adele was alone in the room.
I thought there would be other deputies, but there was no one, so it felt quite unusual.
As I looked around blankly like that, Adele opened her mouth while looking at .
“Didn’t I say I had sothing to tell you? I’m not planning to do another subjugation or anything, so why would I call all the deputies and have them stand here?”
“If it’s what you have to say…”
“Sit down first. It’s not sothing to talk about while standing.”
I approached Adele and took a seat.
I tried to guess what she wanted to talk about by looking at Adele’s expression, but it wasn’t easy to think of sothing she wanted to discuss alone at this ti.
Around the ti I was pondering like that for a while, Adele, who had been examining my complexion, slowly opened her mouth.
“Thanks to your help, the subjugation that was originally planned ended quickly. As a result, the schedule itself has been brought forward quite a bit, so I can start various things a little faster.”
“Is that so?”
“There was sothing I had been thinking about continuously after the subjugation ended, and I was able to find it out in my own way. Also about the na Theresa you had told before.”
My eyes narrowed at the na Theresa.
As if Adele had also anticipated my reaction, she placed sothing on the table and continued.
What was placed on the table was a familiar emblem.
“It’s the Violet family’s emblem.”
“Yes, it must be what the woman who was your fiancée had. If the woman nad Theresa you ntioned was really involved in this matter. It’s probably the case.”
“Did the tribes have it?”
“It’s sothing the guy commanding the tribes gave during the subjugation.”
It was the mont when the thought I had only as a guess beca a certainty.
Theresa Violet, the mont when her na that had been divided into two was combined.
To , who was staring at the emblem with a coldly stiffened face, Adele moved her lips again.
“The woman who gave them this emblem and left said for them to go to the south and find her. And I think you will probably head to the south. Am I wrong?”
“… You’re right.”
I had been thinking of it as a task to be solved in addition to going with Adriana.
To find out how Theresa knew the princess’s location, how she escaped from the capital and contacted Temuzin.
To solve that question, I had to head to the south.
Adele nodded her head as if she had expected that, then continued with a rather serious face.
“I knew you and the woman nad Theresa had been engaged. And that your relationship had beco strained after breaking off the engagent, this is my guess, but I had sowhat guessed that this matter wasn’t unrelated to you. So now I need to know too.”
Her gaze turned to as she said that.
Through her cold gaze, a faint heat rose, and her face seed to be asking for an answer.
“… Can you tell what happened between you and Theresa?”
