"What are you doing?"
As he entered the office, Fernand, who was holding his cheek on his desk at his desk, turned his chilly gaze at his subordinate, who had the most opening.
"Job is"
"There is no "Today". You were the one who told you to take a rest the day after you returned to Japan."
"I've changed my mind. I'm okay, so I'm going to do the work I'm planning to do tomorrow. Now I'll do whatever I'm doing with overtime work."
"Did you have anything with that child?"
"nothing"
Colonel Brundle sighed a little, leaning against his desk and crossing his arms.
"Let's change the question. Did you force yourself to be innocent?"
"Well, a little. But this morning I was up and taking a walk before me."
"But I wasn't doing well."
"I'm fine. It seemed fun to take care of the flower beds. I ate all my breakfast."
"Hmm...I see."
Brundle sat around his desk with his face and sat down in his usual chair.
"Perhaps I don't like how you're doing. You're a jealousy, you're a child."
"No, wait, what does that mean? I'm glad he's fine. I'd be lying on the floor and be fashionable when I returned to Japan. I think he was receiving reports from the mansion regularly even at the destination. "To see if he's spending his time without pity."
"I know. I'm sure he was giving the talented butler noisy instructions for that. I'm sorry that the master was absent and he couldn't breathe slowly."
Fernand, ignoring his subordinates' dislikes, decided to examine again the mysterious feeling of "jealousy" that had sprung within him.
I really feel that it is a good sign that Lihit is healthy and bright. But over the last six months of his absence, he wasn't happy to let go of the fun and friends he found.
--I don't think you were such a small person...
This makes him restless if he is out of his sight. I can't help wondering how much I'm in his heart right now. It was half a year apart until yesterday, and I was fine... I couldn't seem to get back to that feeling until yesterday when I was simply thinking that I was waiting for myself in that mansion.
Fernand put his feet on the desk.
"Will you bring me here?"
"What? When I wonder what I should say... This is an office, not a place to meet."
Brundle protested against his boss's slightly reopened attitude.
Fernand looked up at his subordinate's face with a cool look.
"Let's get him to work. He can read the Runan language."
"Lunain? Certainly, there were materials collected during this expedition..."
"It seems that I can understand some of the old words of Runan. I said I learned it from a nanny before."
Brundle shows the color of interest for the first time.
"It might help"
"But I can't read or write the common language."
"It'll be manageable...but there's no room for an extra desk in this room."
"Avoid disturbing books and materials"
"I know. Maybe I can get rid of that bad chandelier as well."
"You like it"
Brundle nodded with satisfaction. I finally got the opportunity to remove the chandelier.
It's been a week since he talked to Fernan's office.
His royal brother, who was feared as the Supreme Commander of Ice, brought in the hidden Princess Hirai, and it seemed that he would never rest in the fortress. I'm interested, but if I show more interest than necessary, my neck will literally fly... Soldiers who do not want to buy the disappointment of the superior who is usually above the clouds, Fernan who usually appears on horses I was nervous when I got in front of the gate.
"What is this?"
"I have asked Colonel Brandle to welcome me."
Usually, the soldiers in one hand were waiting in line to meet the two gatekeepers. Perhaps it was also an emergency escort, but Fernand thought he could be there with him, so he was upset and raised his brows.
Next to Fernand, Licht, in a dark green cloak, was curiously looking up at the imposing building in front of him.
――I'm not scared for the time being.
Fernand takes Licht's hand and dives under the gate of the building, crossing the stone-paved, rugged and dark corridor to the office. From time to time, I check Lihit's appearance, but I stroked my chest down in a calm manner.
"Hey Fernand"
Licht, who used to be an adult, suddenly said something unexpected.
"I feel nostalgic here... I think it resembles where I lived before."
