“Not small.”

“Oh, is that so?”

He tapped the calluses on Rieta’s fingertips.

“How did you get so many calluses from holding a pen?”

“I held it usually.”

“How do you do it, present me.”

“Like this. Doesn’t Noel do that too?”

“Hmm, is the pen stand bizarre?”

He went over and fiddled with Rieta’s hand, till lastly he was holding it utterly in his hand.

It was so pure that it went on like that, and Rieta didn’t even have the time to argue, ‘Why are pals doing this to one another!’

Moreover, she determined to categorise in the present day’s outing as a ‘date’, for the butler’s sake.

Possibly it’s higher to only permit this a lot.

Simply because they have been on a date doesn’t imply they’re in a bizarre relationship.

Above all, there was no method that Noel and Rieta might have a unique relationship.

Didn’t they each admit that that they had already seen every part they might see earlier than?

“Come to think about it, you didn’t like that sort of factor, did you?”

“Like what?”

“One thing like historical past.”

Rieta tilted her head.

To say she favored it, she didn’t know. She simply paid particular consideration as a result of there was a lot to study.

She was extra serious about it than different topics.

“I do prefer it, however why?”

“That’s good.”

Listening to her query, Noel stood up for a second and opened a small window resulting in the coachman’s seat.

He was nonetheless holding Rieta’s hand, so her prolonged hand stretched out into the center of the carriage.

He pointed the coachman within the path and sat down once more at Rieta’s facet.

“The place are we going?”

“Imperial Palace.”

“To the palace? With out permission?”

“We’re solely going close by. We gained’t go inside.”

“What’s there?”

“I heard that they organized the issues they obtained as presents from every nation. Issues like pottery and fabric.”

“Something previous?”

“Sure, sufficiently old so that you can like. Possibly there’s something from Liz. It was once a reasonably first rate buying and selling nation.”

“Not fairly, however essential. Liz’s wheat and barley are scrumptious, and the manufacturing is wonderful.”

“Sure, greater than half of the entire space of eight million hectares is wheat and barley fields.”

“Do you continue to keep in mind?”

“It’s because of a sure Princess, it’s okay to be moved.”

It was definitely touching that he remembered even the smallest issues about Liz, so Rieta grinned.

“Sure, it’s touching.”

And by the point she gave an trustworthy reply, the carriage began to decelerate little by little.

Rieta’s gaze turned to the window.

It appeared that that they had arrived. Armed Imperial troopers have been usually seen passing by.

Properly, it was a spot the place presents from the Empire have been organized, so it made sense that there have been so many troopers.

“Let’s go.”

After taking Noel’s hand and getting out of the carriage, she entered the massive constructing immediately in entrance.

A cool wind was blowing inside.

The explanation why she felt awkward someplace was in all probability as a result of it was an setting created by magic.

The temperature and humidity will need to have been completely managed in order that the dear presents wouldn’t be broken.

Rieta took a cautious step.

The sound of small footsteps was exceptionally loud, so she appeared up and noticed that the vaulted ceiling was positioned very excessive.

“In some way, it seems like a temple.”

As she spoke emotionally, Noel, standing beside her, replied with a nod.

“It’s not that completely different. In any case, it’s a spot the place previous presents are neatly organized.”

“Is it okay to place such a treasure in such a spot we will simply enter?”

“Simply enter?”

“We simply . . . entered, proper?”

“The one place you and I can’t simply enter collectively might be the Academy.”

Listening to his phrases, Rieta opened her mouth.

Then Noel murmured in a low voice, “Properly, you went in there too.”

“It is a place that neither McLean nor Hewitt can come on their very own.”

“. . . Actually?”

Rieta requested in shock, and he nodded with a smirk.

Judging from his look, it was clear that his mouth was itching to say that from the second he arrived right here.

this infantile facet, he hasn’t modified in any respect from when he was younger.

Whereas his physique has grown so monumental.

Simply then, an previous wizard in a white gown approached and bowed down in entrance of the 2 of them.

“Hey, Lord Noel. I had been advised upfront that you simply have been coming and I used to be getting ready.”

Judging from the variety of wizards behind him, he appeared to be ready of accountability right here.

Noel knowledgeable them beforehand?

Rieta tilted her head barely listening to the wizard’s story.

Their choice to come back right here was made within the carriage, so there was no time for Noel to ship somebody forward of time.

“Ah!”

Rieta realized one thing and made a barely louder noise.

Her shocked exclamation echoed excessive into the air.

Though she needed to shut up as a result of she was embarrassed for out of the blue making a loud noise in a quiet place.

You anticipated me agree to come back right here, Noel.
