Chapter 38

“Then, um, so, have you ever determined to ask that individual to your private home?”

“……”

“…What when you simply say now that you just don’t need them to come back?”

“I can’t. It’s a bit… onerous to return on these phrases. Haaa.”

“Then how about… What when you go away the home solely once they come, Kyren?”

It’ll give off the message that, irrespective of the place you got here from, for the reason that grasp of the home isn’t right here, he doesn’t need you to remain that lengthy.

As I advised this, Kyren’s eyes glistened once more, as if he had by no means considered it.

“Lily, you’re a genius! How did you give you that?”

“That’s one thing anybody can consider…”

“However nobody however Lily instructed me that.”

Kyren replied with a little bit of a bitter tone.

I simply thought that it’s pure that nobody would say this, not on goal, however I simply shut up since he was excited now.

Whereas twirling his lengthy hair round one finger he instantly stated,

“The place are you going? Do you thoughts if I stick with you, Lily?”

“Huh? Ah, that’s alright, however… No, wait a minute. By the way in which, Kyren, how did you get in right here?”

I forgot as a result of he struck a dialog so casually, however the Knights’ Advanced was closed to outsiders, so solely officers may enter it. That’s additionally why I needed to carry my move with me on a regular basis.

Is he a knight?

“Are you apprehensive about me? It’s all proper. Right here, ta-da.”

Kyren rummaged across the within his coat via his neckline a bit and pulled one thing out of his chest.

It was a necklace with a blue jewel hanging on it. It was completely different from the sq. flat move I had, however this was additionally thought-about a move.

Of the very best grade.

Irrespective of how many individuals labored within the fortress, the accessible and non-accessible areas had been pretty strictly organized.

There have been locations the place anybody may freely come and go, however solely approved folks may enter such locations because the Wind Palace the place the maids lived, the Knights’ Advanced, and the Emperor’s Palace.

When an individual with no move would attempt to go there, they’d be blocked off by an invisible wall.

In my case throughout the night time, there was no downside since I used to be coming and going whereas passing via the mirror, however it will be not possible if I had been to move via doorways.

Because the variety of areas to journey elevated, there have been extra move classifications, so if the extent of the move reached greater than the fourth stage, it was modified to a necklace.

I find out about it since Maria had a necklace like that.

She additionally instructed me that not all necklaces had been the identical, however the blue crystal necklace was a category of its personal for the reason that wearer may freely go wherever within the palace.

Not simply anybody may have it.

I imply, this individual is de facto excessive up there then, however…

“Why do you take a look at me like that? Oh, Lily desires it, too. This neckla…”

“No, I don’t want it.”

I shook my head back and forth as I waved my fingers round. I used to be detached to it, and I couldn’t care much less about that.

Actually, I wasn’t in such a relaxed scenario that I ought to be very desirous about others.

“That, effectively, as I stated earlier, it’s fantastic so that you can be right here,” I stated.

“Can’t you go wherever else…?”

“No, I can’t.”

The unsaid, ‘along with me’ on the finish of his query paired with my agency reply of ‘no’ made Kyren droop.

“Okay…”

“Um… however you’ll be able to come right here everytime you’re bored or when you want somebody to speak to.”

“Actually? Is it okay to come back anytime?”

“Sure. I don’t assume I’ll be very busy.”

I didn’t simply say it outright, however I actually questioned if I’d really be busy in a spot like this.

I already wasn’t very busy once I was working on the common library within the Central Palace, however right here, I virtually didn’t need to do something.

Regulus stated he’d come usually, however someway, I assumed that he may get alongside effectively with Kyren.

When Regulus had simply entered the fortress, and when he was promoted to the submit of a commander, Regulus had many difficulties due to the folks round him, too.

There appeared to have been many individuals who had been jealous of him due to his younger age and his background as a commoner.

Since Kyren was comfy with a maid like me, it will be nice if he could possibly be an excellent buddy to Regulus.

“Ah, time flew by quick.”

“I’ll deal with you to a cup of tea subsequent time.”

“Thanks, however I don’t eat or drink something whereas I’m exterior.”

“Then simply deliver some water with you and I’ll serve it to you once you come by once more. What do you assume?”

If I had labored as a maid accountable for balls and banquets, I might have been good at making tea, however actually, I couldn’t even guess how a lot tea leaves I ought to put in. The one kitchen I labored in was within the restaurant my mother and father used to run, and I solely helped out a bit.

I assumed it was a adequate concept, however instantly, Kyren burst into laughter.

“Did I say such a humorous factor?”

“No, no. It’s not that, however folks simply normally really feel offended once I say that. It’s not that I don’t belief you.”

“…….”

I didn’t give it some thought in any respect, so I used to be extra embarrassed this time.

After I seemed again at him with out saying one other phrase, Kyren smiled with flushed cheeks and gave a optimistic reply.

“I’ll try this subsequent time. I wish to keep right here longer, however I’m afraid I’ll be in hassle if I keep extra, so I’ll need to go now.”

I don’t know what’s troubling him, however I simply nodded and noticed him off.

His steps had been as light as fluttering leaves, and as he smiled fantastically, he instantly realized one thing. Oh. He returned Damien’s handkerchief, which I had lent him earlier than.

“Is that this another person’s handkerchief?”

“Hm? Ah, sure, that’s proper. How do you know?”

Kyren stated nothing once more, and smiled as if he knew nothing.

“I’ll return the handkerchief you gave me earlier than one other time. I’ll see you once more.”

And as quickly as he left the room, it felt just like the environment that had unfold round him disappeared utterly.

If I attempt to ask Sir Endymion or Sir Ares about him, perhaps I would discover out who he was, however I don’t actually really feel the necessity to exert the hassle to research.

I don’t know why, however I assumed I shouldn’t.

Folding the handkerchief once more and placing it again in my pocket, I approached the window and seemed exterior.

Just a little later, I noticed Kyren strolling down the trail. He was being adopted by some males clad in black from head to toe.

I knew it—he’s being escorted.

As I blinked, Kyren seemed again and waved to me. How did he know I used to be watching?

I shrugged and waved awkwardly.
