Ethan's POV
"Brother Ethan... Brother Ethan!"
"Huh? Oh, yes, Virelle."
"Don't you agree with me?"
"Um... Yes, of course."
I nodded vigorously like a chick pecking rice grains and swiftly steered the conversation to a more serious topic.
"Virelle, is your Master, Duchess Altheria currently present in the castle? I need to speak with her about my Master's whereabouts."
I inquired with a concerned expression as thoughts of Master Nyx flooded my mind. I wasn't worried about her physical well-being as nothing could harm her but it was her mental state that troubled me.
Despite the cold and tough persona that she deliberately showed to me, I knew how deeply she cared for me though she tried her best to conceal it.
Well, she certainly isn't an expert at hiding her emotions. I smiled inwardly and shook my head slightly.
