"As for the promotion, I'll explain when we get home later, but it's a long story."
"That's alright, I like long stories, and perhaps we can have dinner together."
Her Highness the Princess said as she reached out to the cat lying on Shard's lap, intending to pick it up. But as soon as she extended her hand, Mia swiped her hand away with a paw.
The cat rested its chin on Shard's leg, making its face look rather flat due to this gesture. A "meow~" sound came from its mouth as its amber eyes looked at Dorothy, as if curious about who she was.
After returning to the home he had been away from for a day, Shard briefly related his experiences from yesterday to Lecia. Luviya asked him to keep the secret about The Chosen One and their relationship, while Miss Galina also instructed him not to disclose anything related to the Witch. Thus, Shard omitted some key fragments from his narrative.
Even so, the story's fascination far exceeded Lecia's expectations.
