After that incident during the autumn banquet, Aster felt that Charles started acting weird. He visited Aster everyday during his autumn break from the campaign and acted like he was enamored to him. Aster actually wondered if he was actually in love with him.
'Eh, wouldn't that be impossible?'
'I mean, we are cousins, and we are both men.'
'But, this…'
Aster opened an envelope after Charles was finally stationed to his next campaign. It was a letter from him, scented with his mix musk and strong sandalwood perfume he wore regularly here. No, it was the perfume he only used here, because Aster said that he liked the sandalwood scent when Charles brought a sandalwood powder from one land he conquered before.
