With a brief scream, Seira stepped back. Lyle hadn’t even planned to go that far either. While everyone held their breath, her maids supported dea, who had gone pale.
Gerrard and one of the other knights commanders approached and examined Seira’s arm. He smiled bitterly and looked at the emperor.
“It appears to be broken.”
“Tsk.”
Kicking his tongue, Lyle turned to Sid. He made eye contact with dea, but as she fiercely glared with an absurd look, he swallowed his breath for a mont.
‘Why?’
dea’s eyes were talking: I’ll see you later.
Lyle felt a cold sweat that did not flow even during the duel and turned to Sid.
“Call the imperial doctors and high-ranking priests. Because it’s my fault, I’ll give Lord Hestia a break from work for a while.”
Since it was a fantasy world, even a broken bone could be healed quickly by calling a priest.
“I am apologetic.”
When Lyle ca over and apologized, Seira shook his head in spite of the pain.
“No. Thank you for giving the opportunity to face your sword.”
Lyle felt a slightly sorry for the sincere answer, but the core resentnt he had against Baron Hestia was still unresolved.
dea had even watched his duals with such focus. She had never showed him that kind of expression.
Lyle asked Gerrard to take care of Baron Hestia and entrusted him with the sword. Then he left the gym and returned to the Empress’s side… … dea was staring at Lyle with a face that had a lot to say.
“Do you want to talk to , your Majesty?”
He was also hoping for sothing.
***
“Is the Empress blaming for the injuries that occurred during a legitimate and fair duel?”
Leaving from the training ground of the knights with the gymnasium, Lyle and dea were guided to a room where they entered the nearest palace, the Hundred Palace.
The Hundred Palace was a place given to the eldest of the emperor’s children. When they beca the Crown Prince, they were transferred to another palace.
The Hundred Palace was empty because the Imperial couple had no children yet.
As they entered the thick carpeted living room, Lyle and dea told the servants and maids who were following them to retreat. Lyle’s aid, Sid, had already returned to the main palace with the other servants.
Seeing Lyle showing her blatant dissatisfaction, dea looked at her with criticism.
“Did you really break his arm by mistake?”
“… … .”
It was not without self-interest. Lyle regretted having Baron Hestia attached to dea’s side.
“Well, what are you going to do if that’s the case?”
dea’s eyes narrowed.
“Since this incident has proven Sir Hestia’s skills, we should keep him closer. Your Majesty seems to have no objection to having him by my side… … When I go out, he must always accompany .”
“That… … !”
He was furious for a mont, but it was difficult to say that he was just jealous as before. At the ti, he was just blatantly disliked, but now he had broken his arm… … .
He felt like a foolish emperor who broke his servant’s arm out of jealousy.
“Empress, are you really going to co out like this?”
“Your Majesty, stop worrying about Sir Hestia. There’s no way I’m interested in anyone other than His Majesty.”
“Then why are you fighting for Baron Hestia? You have already shown enough compassion!”
Lyle said as he ca closer and hugged her waist. The red eyes looking into dea’s blue eyes were blazing as if demanding her to the truth.
“It’s because… … [he’s] Luke’s favorite person!”
She couldn’t even tell him that she was a woman, in response Lyle snorted.
“Are you telling to believe that? Even if you lie… … .”
“Even if you don’t believe it, it’s true.”
He was confused as her serene expression seed to be telling the truth. It was hard to imagine that the Duke of Card’s successor liked n.
“Do not lie.”
“When you see the two of them together, your Majesty will know.”
“… … .”
Lyle stared at her face as if asuring her. He still didn’t believe it, but he felt much better than before.
“Did you make him an escort with the intention of breaking them up with the peacock?”
“I don’t object to their relationship.”
Her was startled by her words.
“You’re not against it?”
“I don’t know if it’s Luke’s unrequited love, but Hestia doesn’t seem to unshaken… … .”
“Millie. If Duke Card finds out, he will be turned everything over. He might try to kill Baron Hestia.”
“Then we have to keep it a secret until Sir Hestia makes a contribution.”
No matter how great the contribution Baron Hestia made and outstanding acclaids he garnered, it was unlikely that the Duke of Card would keep him alive if he found out. Lyle had a headache.
“If you’re a mber of the Imperial Knights it’s already hard to get a chance to distinguish yourself. Besides, Baron Hestia is your escort knight.”
“I’ll think about it later.”
He stared at dea’s serious mood. He thought she’d be less trouble than before… … .
“My Empress seems to be looking for trouble.”
“You are not going to interfere with Luke and Sir Hestia, are you?”
she asked, looking at Lyle with a serious expression.
