Upon hearing Cattleya's words, Queen Mystic Bernadette looked at her silently for a few seconds before saying, "That is your choice, and also your freedom."
Cattleya stared straight at the Queen before pursing her lips and saying, "I know. You must've destroyed all the clues that will allow me to pursue your tracks…
"To you, this is to end the past—all of it—regardless of whether you return."
The chestnut-colored hair casually draped over Bernadette's shoulders as she maintained her silence as if she was using this method to confirm the Admiral of Stars's guess.
When Cattleya saw this, she smiled bitterly and said, "I won't harp on about how I'd do everything I can to find you if you were to remain lost for half a year or a year. I just want you to remember to recite Mr. Fool's honorific name when the danger is gravest."
She said that title frankly.
Queen Mystic Bernadette slowly nodded and said, "I will keep that in mind."
