It may need been due to the strain of his white hair, but it surely was extra snug to deal with him with respect. Whatever the distinction in identification, neither Baharf nor Zagnac particularly pointed it out.

As Azela retorted, Baharf nodded his head along with his wry smile.

“You might be proper. The Grasp has already informed me about it. Then, how about having fun with the brand new tea?”

She smiled alongside along with his smiling face, which made individuals really feel snug. The aroma of the tea was good, not too candy. It was her favourite taste of tea. Azela smelled the scent of tea. She couldn’t assist it and shortly moved out of the best way to let Baharf are available.

He entered the bed room, moved apart in order that she may sit comfortably, and slowly started to make the tea.

“It’s late at evening. Why are you not sleeping?”

“Ah. It’s as a result of I can’t sleep.”

“As anticipated, it’s good that I introduced tea.”

The sound of the rattling teacup resonated loudly in her quiet bed room.

As she listened to the sound, her dizzy thoughts calmed down. Azela, who closed her eyes and targeted on the sound of the rattling teacup, smiled, considering that it was good that Baharf ready the tea simply as he stated.

“Do you have got any issues?”

Asking that, he smiled as he handed her the tea. There was one thing about him that made individuals really feel relaxed, identical to the aromatic scent of tea. Azela took a sip, smelling the bitter scent of tea.

As anticipated, she appreciated the style in addition to the scent.

“It’s scrumptious.”

“You probably have any issues, I’ll take heed to them.”

Baharf smiled brightly that his eyes couldn’t be seen. Definitely he was proper that she couldn’t sleep although there was no manner she may confide that thought. Seeing Azela lick her dry lips and decrease her head, he continued his phrases.

“Even when it appears like this, I’m the one who’s reputed to have probably the most secretive mouth in Duke Ferial’s residence.”

“Haha.”

“If you consider it by your self, it would turn into tougher. You want someplace to confide.”

It was not flawed. Agreeing with him, she glanced at him hesitantly and Baharf spoke once more.

“The Grasp appears to be fascinated about it.”

“Sure?”

“The key that you just have been fascinated about.”

“….!”

Her eyes widened at Baharf’s phrases. And with out understanding it, she laughed out loud. He may inform what she was fascinated about with out her even telling him. All of the sudden, she imagined Zagnac consulting with Baharf about liking her, and laughter burst out first.

Seeing her smiling broadly with none worries, Baharf smiled as effectively.

“So, you need to discuss as effectively. You would possibly really feel relieved after sharing it unexpectedly.”

“I see.”

Azela, who laughed at Baharf’s phrases, nodded her head whereas wiping the tears from her eyes.

Nonetheless, she knew. It meant that it was not a fear that may be relieved simply by confiding in it. Essentially, to ensure that this concern to be resolved, it was potential provided that she emptied her emotions for him.

Azela, who had wiped away all her tears, shrugged her shoulders as she sighed.

“Do you want Grasp?”

In the long run, Baharf opened his mouth first. It was a nosiness that originated from the need to someway assist his grasp and Azela.

She nodded her head with a bitter smile.

“I…”

Her opened mouth shut once more a second after. It was tough for her to carry out feelings she had by no means poured out on somebody in her life. As she considered it whereas touching her fingers, Baharf organized the teacup and waited slowly for Azela to take out her phrases.

The unquiet bed room gave Azela a way of safety.

“…Will you retain it a secret?”

When she requested with a mischievous smile, Baharf, who was clearing the teacups, nodded his head strongly twice and stated confidently, ‘If you would like.’ Even when she didn’t say something, Azela knew very effectively that he wasn’t the sort of one who would exit and say one thing that simply.

“I…”

At the same time as she opened her mouth, Baharf was nonetheless preoccupied along with her work, as if he was not on this area. That motion made her really feel relaxed. It was apparent that she would have been burdened if he had taken the posture of listening intently.

“I hope the Duke… Zagnac doesn’t like me.”

Baharf stopped clearing the teacup and turned his head to take a look at her. Azela, who gently closed her eyes, was smiling.

“I believed you appreciated the Grasp.”

“…Properly.”

At these phrases, she raised her knees and hugged them to her chest, curling her physique right into a circle. She was on the defensive. Responding to that query, Azela’s perspective was all the time defensive, not offensive.

Leaning her cheek towards her lap, she slowly turned her head and closed her eyes.

“It’s complicated. It’s not straightforward.”

“Nothing is simple on this world. So, that is the style of residing on the planet, proper? If it’s straightforward, you’ll get uninterested in it earlier than you’re my age.”

Bahard stated, slicking his personal white hair, which was well-combed. It was a consolation she had by no means felt earlier than.

As Azela smiled at his joke, he continued.

“Are you afraid of the Grasp’s change of coronary heart?”

“Perhaps. It’s complicated… In truth, I don’t need that feeling in Zagnac to vary.”

“….”

“Nonetheless, I don’t need him to cry or be unhappy once I’m gone. For that to occur, the sentiments Zagnac feels now should change.”

Baharf, who couldn’t fairly perceive what she meant however vaguely understood, nodded his head.

“I hope he made the only option he can. Quite than me, who will disappear sometime, Her Highness can be the appropriate alternative for him.”

“Every thing is for the Grasp.”

Azela drew a smile at Baharf’s reply. It needed to be. She would disappear sometime, and he would don’t have any alternative however to stay right here alone and bear all the things.

“However…”

After arranging all of the teacups, Baharf calmly stated, arranging Azela’s empty teacup for the final time.

“Miss is probably not unhappy sometime whenever you disappear, however Grasp, who has to kind out the sentiments which have arisen, will probably be unhappy within the current.”

“….”

“In addition to, Grasp’s opinion was not mirrored in it in any respect.”

Listening to his phrases, Azela regarded blankly at him.

Baharf, with a smile, put away all of the teacups and left the bed room, nodding goodbye to her. After leaving her bed room, he pushed the cart previous Zagnac’s bed room, shook his head excitedly, and muttered to himself.

“The Grasp have to be having a tough time.”

The bitter scent of tea lingered within the hallway for fairly a while.

“What’s he?”

“Your query is unusual. If you wish to ask a query, do it correctly, Chises.”

“Duke Ferial… did you see? It was not a human gaze.”

Chises, who burst into the Emperor’s workplace, recalled what had occurred earlier. Simply fascinated about these eyes gave him goosebumps throughout his physique. Chises rubbed his arms and licked his tongue.

The Emperor, who loved studying at his motion, closed the guide, stood up, and approached him.

“It’s late at evening. Return to your palace and relaxation.”

“Does father know? Is he actually human?”

“Are you attempting to say that if he’s not human, he’s a monster? All different races, apart from people, have been already extinct earlier than I used to be born.”

“No, no. I noticed. These eyes are actually…”

Chises swallowed dryly and shook his head. It was the gaze of an untamed beast, no, a monster, that he didn’t need to bear in mind.

“Isn’t that why father needs to kill him, too?”

“Chises.”

As quickly as Chises completed talking, the Emperor reprimanded him with fierce eyes. It was his palace and his workplace, so nobody can be listening on. Even when anybody heard it, nobody would be capable to oppose the Emperor, however he was cautious.

The Emperor frowned and turned his head to take a look at the evening sky earlier than closing the wide-open window and drawing the curtains.

“You’ve gotten a giant mouth. Plainly you haven’t discovered the way to seal your lips with a view to turn into the Emperor of the Empire.”

“Father…”

“Let’s begin studying once more tomorrow.”
